Shigetaka KomoriPresident and CEO
FUJIFILM Sustainability Report 20042
The year 2004 marks the 70th anniversary of Fujifilm'sfoundation. Fujifilm's objective at the time of foundationwas domestic production of photographic film. Fujifilm laterevolved into a company to promote overall development ofa photographic culture by offering numerous products andservices associated with image and information technology.Since information technology went through a rapidadvancement recently, image digitization has expanded andtransformed our field of business, Imaging & Information(I&I) market greatly.In order to effectively keep up with the change in thebusiness environment, we have established Fujifilm GroupVISION75 medium-term management plan, with its threecore strategies: “Establishment of a New Growth Strategy,”“Thorough Overall Administrative Structural Reform” and“Fortification of a Consolidated Administration.” VISION75addresses group-wide key issues in CSR (Corporate SocialResponsibility) promotion, such as the strengthening ofconsolidated business management, the creation of newbusinesses through the reconstruction of the R&D system,an integrated approach in legal compliance and riskmanagement, and an active involvement in environmentalissues.
Expanding New Businesses
VISION75 actively promotes R&D in three fields, as one of itskey issues, “Creation of New Businesses”, i.e. “digitalimaging”, “high-functionality materials” and “optical devicetechnology”. Through this kind of innovative R&D, Fujifilm isbeginning to market products in new genres during thefiscal 2004, such as “QuickGene-800”, an automatic nucleicacid extraction system in the field of life science, as well asthe digital exposure system for printed circuit boards in theindustrial digital imaging field. Fujifilm will strive to challengethe unexplored frontier in order to continue being theFujifilm Everybody Trusts.
Moving Forward with Fujifilm Group Green Policy
Since its foundation, Fujifilm has been conducting corporateactivities with the concept of “Environmental considerationand conservation as the basis of company management.”While offering products to answer user needs is our mission
as a manufacturer, we are also strongly aware of existenceof environmental risks in our corporate activities includingthe use of various chemical substances, CO2 emission andwaste emission. We have established our environmentalmid-term policy, “Fujifilm Group Green Policy”, so that everymember of Fujifilm Group can recognize the common goalof developing as a company, while minimizing theenvironmental impact. With this in mind, we have beenactively investing in “Global Warming” preventionmeasures. One example is the fuel conversion to natural gasfor the in-house power generation system at out plants.Fujifilm also has been participating in the Japan ResponsibleCare Council (JRCC*) since its foundation and I amcurrently a vice chairman of the JRCC. We shall reflect theconcept of responsible care to the Fujifilm Group GreenPolicy: To elevate the environmental quality of our groupcorporations and products throughout our global market.
* Responsible Care: Responsible care implies that a corporation in thechemical industry takes voluntari ly action to secure qualityenvironmental, safety and hygiene procedures in every phase of aproduct's lifecycle. This includes the development of a chemicalsubstance, production, shipment, usage, final consumption and disposaland includes full disclosure of al l their actions and providescommunication to society regarding these practices.
CSR is a Representation of the CorporatePersona.
I believe that a socially recognized company must excel inenvironmental as well as social concerns. Fujifilm establishedCSR Division in April 2004. If a corporation is considered aperson in the legitimate sense, then CSR is its “persona.”CSR poses common challenges to all internal organizationsincluding research, development, manufacturing, sales andcentral management divisions. In order to realize businessplanning leading to sustainable development, we make CSRa significant part of the entire Fujifilm Groups everydaytasks.
Communications with Stakeholders andCorporate Transparency
In promoting CSR, we must not only improve “CorporateTransparency” by providing a variety of information to our
To be the Fujifilm Group Everybody Trusts
Message from the President
2004 FUJIFILM Sustainability Report 5
After the International StakeholdersDialog
In a short, two-day period, many of the employees whoparticipated said that they had “learned much about howto be a part of CSR deployment through daily tasks.” In thefuture, we plan to invite stakeholders from relevant fieldson each subject, and have each one of them discuss indetail about their field. More specifically, we will selectivelyprioritize the challenges that need to be confronted so thatwe may work on them one by one. We will also strive tointegrate actions essential in every development,manufacturing and sales activity into the everyday groupoperation tasks. Those actions pertain to compliance, riskmanagement and ecology & quality management directedby the CSR Division.
these managers an ability to think at the same time.”Tsukushi:“Many Japanese corporations tend to educate newly hiredemployees on environmental issues, but it’s actually the top-levelmanagers who need such an education. It’s evident from looking atthe survey results as well.”Employee:”Corporate environments are changing considerably,and what worked successfully before is now becoming to athing of the past. Yet I don’t think a new road map has been quiteestablished, either. Depending on how you look at it, I think thiscould also be considered an opportunity. For that reason, I want top-level managers to have a strong interest in taking an active role inthe approach to CSR.“Employee:“Fujifilm's business operation is starting to shiftsignificantly. In thepast, the companymade high profitswith films andphotos, but thatwon’t be the caseany more. If weare to adapt,shouldn’t we all bethinking aboutwhat a corporation is? The senior management is responsible, ofcourse, but every employee is just as responsible.”
What are the points to keep in mind whenapproaching CSR?
Delfgaauw:“What is important in CSR’s approach is theenhancement of a competitive edge. CSR is not somethingthat can be confirmed simply by a financial return, butachieving profits as well does have importance. Therefore,having a more competitive edge becomes necessary and toachieve that, it's crucial to focus on one problem at a time ratherthan looking at 10,000 problems all at once.”Zadek:“With the CSR method, you talk with people first,then decide on the strategy. The world is very complex, andeveryone is looking for something different. That’s why youshould go outside first and listen to what people have to say,and then form a strategy based on opinions you’ve heard. Acompany may be a leader in the narrow field of its specialty, butit can't help but be a follower in other fields. So you should reallyask yourself what it means to be at the top. And finally,senior management will have to seriously consider if theyreally want to be the leader in the field of CSR. It’s important totake the discussion up to a higher level in order to find valuesand strategy.”Employee:“Although the word ‘CSR’ is pretty new, theconcept reallyisn‘t. I think it justmeans that weshould do whatwe were alwayssupposed to do,but do it properly.The problem is,you'd think youare doing it theright way, whileothers don't thinkso. I believe higher transparency and interaction are the key.”
What is your opinion on diversity?
Tsukushi:“I don’t believe that you can get stronger withoutdiversity. Based on historic background, I think there will be an
What do you think about Fujifilm's vision?
Zadek:“As oil means a lot to an oil company, somecompanies’ business is evidently clear. However, in thebusiness category like that of Fujifilm's, the results cannot be
clearly manifestedas in, 'we did this,therefore thathappened.' That’sa difficult issue.”Tsukushi:“It mustbe very hard for acompany to shiftfrom producingthings to increasingly becoming a serviceprovider instead.
The vision of a company that produces things, and that of acompany that is trying to dispatch things that you can't see, arecompletely different.”
How did you feel about this InternationalStakeholders Dialog?
Delfgaauw:“I was impressed. Fujifilm is actually practicingan excellent methodology. But at the same time, there still areproblems that need to be solved. From here on, I think it's vitalfor them to focus on what is fundamental yet indispensable,and work out individual solutions.”Domini:“I was impressed as well with the process Fujifilm isfollowing, and I also learned much by talking with everyone.”Zadek:“I can safely conclude that only when seniormanagement firmly acknowledges the value of CSR, CSR willbecome effective in the future business strategy. That is avery crucial factor for CSR as a process, as well as aninnovation.”Tsukushi:“Being the first to do something is important. Ibelieve this was the very first dialog on CSR held in Japan. Acompany that can start first is also a company that can grow, soI hope that the stock prices will prove the outcome as well.”
urgent need down the road to develop a philosophy thatinfluences the company’s strategy.”Employee:“When our products change from ‘things’ such asfilms or cameras to software, our competitors will change,too. I think pulling through such changes, could provide agood opportunity for us to experience diversification.”
At Fujifilm, we are serious about CSR.
FUJIFILM Sustainability Report 20044
1.Clarification of Challenges with CSRIt is a necessity to recognize CSR-related agendas — such asrisk management by Fujifilm Group Corporation and itssuppliers, and meet the challenges of unearthing newbusinesses in the age of digital technology.
2.Establishment of a Clear Vision and PlansThe importance of setting a clear vision in strategy design,determining key areas of CSR strategy, and creating a roadmap to achievement cannot be ignored.
3.Company-wide ImplementationIn order for CSR to be implemented throughout not onlythe staff of Fujifi lm, but the entire Group's 73,000employees, the education and training system needs to bestrengthened.
4.Executive SeminarsAll members of the administration, from the CEO down, willpersonally make an effort to deepen their understanding ofCSR in order to achieve the corporation's final goal ofcompany-wide CSR deployment.
5.Relationship with Stakeholders HereafterCommunications with stakeholders must always beconsidered when envisioning the future.
6.CSR Deployment Involving SuppliersIt is necessary to reflect the “scope and timing” of CSRdeployment in the wide range of supply chains.
Invited Opinion Leaders:
While society keeps changing dramatically and theaccuracy of CSR knowledge becomes more andmore important for corporations, just howsignificant is a CEO's understanding of CSR?
Delfgaauw:“All executives, from the CEO and down, mustbelieve in the value of CSR and make that responsibility theirown. Ultimately, the people who work with CSR on site willbecome the key. It may take some time, but these people need tounderstand CSR and be convinced of its importance. Using atop-down approach like this, the whole company should worktogether to adapt CSR as part of the proactive businesspractice.”Domini:“The challenge will be how to place value in'responsible corporate actions.' For that to happen, I think thereshould be a policy that says everyone — including theemployees, CEO, and senior management members — need to beinvolved.”Delfgaauw:“People in top management play a big role in thepromotion of CSR. If the top leads, it’s much more effective.”Employee:“I personally think so as well. If the top doesn’tmove, employees won't follow no matter what is said aboutCSR.”Zadek:“In Europe, CSR-related education and training for top-levelmanagers is increasing dramatically. People have come tounderstand that senior management often brings about crosssectional knowledge. And by doing so, top-level managers will startto think about how their company should advance, thus giving

Issues Raised during InternationalStakeholders Dialog 2004
June 4-5th, 2004 — Fujifilm had invited opinion leaders from various fields of CSR (corporate socialresponsibility) to hold an International Stakeholders Dialog, which turned out to be a tremendousopportunity to analyze the corporation's CSR. This International Stakeholders Dialog was held for the purpose ofclarifying “what is lacking” and “what should be done” in regard to Fujifilm CSR activities, as well as raisingcorporate key personnel’s awareness in CSR. Many critical issues in promoting CSR were recognized through thisDialog. In this time of rapidly-changing social needs, it is necessary to have concrete challenges, visions and plans,and for all personnel to exercise CSR awareness, including senior management members.
The dialogs presented here are key discussionson the future challenges Fujifilm may face inpromoting CSR.

Achieving the VOC AtmosphericEmission Reduction Goal One YearEarlierIn 2002 in their Fujifilm Group Green Policy, Fujifilm set agoal to reduce VOC atmospheric emissions by morethan 50% by 2004 since 2002 on a non-consolidatedbasis (Fujifilm itself). Fujifilm proactively deployednumerous reduction measures and as a result the goal wasachieved one year prior to the marked date in 2003,with a 56% reduction since 2000. Furthermore, 18%reduction has been achieved since the previous year on aconsolidated basis (Fujifilm Group) as well, showing asteady pace of success.

Fujicolor QuickSnap was develop in 1986 under theconcept, “whenever, wherever and whoever.” Fujifilmconstructed a QuickSnap cyclic manufacturing factory in1998 incorporating new cyclic manufacturing technology andthe modularization of parts so that QuickSnap can keepevolving into a more recyclable product. We have alsoacquired TypeIII Eco-Label to enhance our informationdisclosure with quantitative data.
The Single-use Camera “Fujicolor QuickSnap”Expands the Joy of Photography.
Digital Camera Utility Expands as the Images Become Increasingly Close to the Analog Photo Quality.
Presenting the Value of Keeping Your MemoriesAs Images with “Store Printed Photos”
Mr. Yuichiro Miura, a professional skier and explorer
who succeeded in reaching the Mt. Everest summit in
May 2003 at age 70 told us his story. The temperature
at summit of Mt. Everest reaches 20 degrees
centigrade below zero in mid-summer. Cameras with
batteries are not usable unless you keep them warm.
The lubricant becomes more viscous at this
temperature making cameras unusable as well.
We were sending our
news update using digital
camera photos, but soon it
did not work any more.
However, we could take
clear pictures with Fujicolor
QuickSnap without any
special tricks. This is a
well-known fact among
mountain climbers. I wish
to climb Mt. Everest from
the Tibet side next time.

Macro photography systems using digital cameras play an active role in medical
fields such as dentistry and dermatology. Digital photos contributed to
advancements in medicine by facilitating the practice of informed consent since
dentists could explain intraoral photos to their patients utilizing visual materials.
Dr. Takashi Hamada from the Hamada Dental Clinic gave an academic society
presentation on the merits of the macro photography system and pointed out that
the information could be stored
on PCs. “Its natural coloring and
immediate availability are its
greatest values when explaining
medical procedures to patients.
It also reduces the patient’s
stress by shortening treatment
processes. Intraoral images are
becoming an essential tool along
with X-ray pictures.”
Contributing to Dental Diagnostics
Many visually handicapped people use cameras to take pictures of the scenes
and use them to communicate with their family and friends. One visually
handicapped user (housewife age 39) told us the following story: “I use Fujicolor
QuickSnap. It is simple to operate without having to check what I am doing. I still
make many mistakes, but since it is so economical, I can afford mistakes. If you
could make any changes, I wish the flashing mode had a louder noise, and I
would like to be alerted when the picture is in focus. I would be very happy if it
would be possible for QuickSnap prints to have the dates in Braille so that I can
organize photos more easily.” Fujifilm will continue to develop universal
products.
Fujicolor QuickSnap and Visually Handicapped
As the digital camera market expands, digital camera usersare exploring new ways to enjoy digital photography. Fujifilmadvanced our own Super CCD HoneycombTM to achieve evenhigher quality photos by developing the fourth generation ofSuper CCD HoneycombTM. Also as a result of our effort inreducing environmental impacts and raw materialsconsumption, we have acquired Type III Eco-Label for a total
As digital cameras and cell phones with built-in cameras becomecommonplace, demand for printing digital photos is rapidlyincreasing. In order to communicate our concept of “printing thephotographed image to be stored for lifetime memories”, we havedeveloped “store-printed photos” and are actively promoting thisservice. “Store-printed photos” provide the same high quality printservice that was previously possible only at photo studios.
Each photo studio has its own campaigns and promotional services. Fujifilm
supports photo studios by helping design their shops and promotional services.
President Shigemichi Tanaka of the photo studio Shashinya30 started offering
digital camera photography classes after purchasing the digital minilab, Frontier
350. President Tanaka told us the following about his experience with this
product. “When we purchased Frontier, we could
finally print digital camera photos. However, neither
our customers nor I understood how to place or
accept orders for digital camera prints. So, I started
digital camera photography classes so that the
customers and we could learn about digital cameras
and digital photo printing. Our first class was held at
my store in March 2002. We received help from
Fujifilm and Fujifilm distributors in realizing this class.
Now we more people request a space in this class
than we can accommodate.”

Fujifilm has been developing and providing medical-use X-ray films since 1936. We succeeded in developing acomputer-based X-ray digital image diagnostic system“FCR.” FCR realized a reduction in radiation exposure andan increased diagnostic precision through the use of digitalimage processing. We have shipped a total of over 22,000FCR units around the world. In 2003, we announced theFCR PROFECT CS, a system that optimized mammographyanalysis. Its revolutionarily clear image strongly backs up ournational mammography promotion activity. We willcontinue trying to meet the demand by medicalprofessionals to develop improved products as well asaddress their proposals for new diagnostic approaches bymaking advances in medical technology.
Fuji Computed Radiography (FCR) PermeatesMedical Institutions around the World.
Fuji Xerox, a consolidated subsidiary of Fujifilm, handles awide range of document services according to officedemands, including manufacturing printers, multifunctionalcolor copiers, as well as network system proposals.The color laser printer “DocuPrint C2425/C2426” receivedthe Energy Conservation Award from the EnergyConservation Center, Japan. The award was given inrecognition for the new mechanism that allows vivid colorprinting on recycled paper as well as for its low energyconsumption. We will continue to develop an understandingof office functionalities, and strive for the simultaneousrealization of both high quality environmental and businessperformances.
We have tried to develop the DocuPrint C2425/C2426 from the viewpoint of ourcustomers. Noriyuki Noda at Fuji Xerox Printing Systems Co., Ltd. ProductDevelopment Department spoke about development based on the customerviewpoint.“Sixty percent of the paper used in average office is recycled paper. That is thereason why we decided our development theme would be “how to print beautifulcolor image on recycled paper.” “Also, since the printers are on waiting mode mostof the day, we believed reducing energy consumption during the waiting modewould help satisfy our customers. By combining the new print mechanism andtoner technology, we accomplished our goal of providing vivid images on recycledpaper.” Fuji Xerox will continue to develop energy conservation technology takingthe customer convenience into consideration while promoting the reduction ofenvironmental impacts at offices.

FCR Pico SYSTEM user report is posted at:http://www.fujifilm.co.jp/fms/info/index.html
The “FCR Pico SYSTEM,” while maintaining the high quality image and high imageprocessing capability associated with FCR, has been reduced in size considerably.Its low price and compactness make it easy for smaller medical institutions, such asclinics, to benefit from this technology. FCR printers also reflect our environmentalcommitment since they use no processing solution and produce no solution waste.
� Easy-to-Understand Informed Consent“It is possible to display the image taken with the FCR Pico System on the monitorimmediately after the picture has been taken. By displaying the image immediatelyand being able to enlarge it, it is now quite easy to explain to patients about theircondition in a way that is extremely easy for them to understand. At the same time,past data can be accessed in an instant, making it possible to compare thepatient’s past condition with his or her current condition. Such detailed informedconsent contributes greatly to increasing the trust patients have for their doctor.” (Dr. Okada)
� Doctor’s Assistants Have a Much Easier Job“Because the Pico system can be used in a normal room setting and is a perfectly“dry system,” there is no need to take pictures in darkrooms as with conventionalimaging systems and no need for clinic staff to deal with water supply andprocessing solution. My assistants no longer have to exchange developing solutionor get foul-smelling liquid on their hands. The Pico system is also less expensive touse than conventional systems, and because operation is carried out using aneasy-to-understand touch panel similar to that of a bank ATM, it is possible foranyone to operate the system with ease.” (Dr. Okada)
� The Responsibility and Challenge of Being a Primary Care Physician“My clinic is a neurosurgery clinic, not a general clinicencompassing all branches of medicine. My patients,however, expect me to provide a wide range of diagnosticability and look to me as a primary care physician. I haveeven had a patient with a subarachnoid hemorrhagecome walking into my clinic. As a primary care doctor whois required to have a wide range of diagnostic ability tocare for all the health needs of my patients, Pico is apowerful tool. (Dr. Okada)

VISION75 Medium-Term Management Plan: Fujifilm’s New Departure
New Departure
Fujifilm’s business territory expanded greatly when FujiXerox joined Fujifilm Group as a consolidated subsidiary.Furthermore, the business environment surrounding Fujifilmis going through a rapid change as the influence of digitiza-tion in the imaging field advances every year. Under thesecircumstances, Fujifilm declared its goal to achieve furthergrowth by securing profitability through the utilization of itsadvanced technology and its wealth of business resources.
Sustaining General Photography Materials Business
— Protection of Photo Culture —
Potential printing demands for digital camera photosand photos by cell phones with built-in cameras aregrowing. To this end, we placed our digital minilab at thecore of our business promotions and executed an exten-sive digital camera printing campaign. Fujifilm will contin-ue to expand the demands in the photo print market.
Capturing, viewing, decorating and keeping memo-rable images are the joys of photo-taking. At our 70thanniversary, we communicated the value of “moving andheart-warming” photography in our message stating,“Precious moments live on in photos.”
January 2004 marks Fujifilm’s 70th anniversary. As the business environment goes throughtremendous changes, we have established VISION75 medium-term management plan. With the 75thanniversary, five years from now, in scope, for the entire Fujifilm Group prepares to take another giant step.We will aggressively promote measures including construction of the new growth strategies andthorough structural reforms under the new administration structure.
VISION75 Fiscal 2009 Financial Goals
Revenue ¥3,500 billion

1 Isolating high-purity DNA and RNA at a high yield and in a short time
Automatic Nucleic Acid Extraction System
The automatic nucleic acid extraction system, “QuickGene-800” is a system to isolate high-purity DNA and RNA in ashort period at a high yield compared with the centrifugation ormagnetic bead-based methods of nucleic acid extractionsystem. The device in this system utilizes pressurized filtrationseparation method with Fujifilm’s own polymer film coatingtechnology. Also we kept the price down to be less than the halfof the conventional automatic extraction system.
2 Complex amalgamation of the latest technologies
Digital Exposure System for Printed Circuit Boards
Photo mask-free digital exposure system is created from acomplex amalgamation of newly developed high-power,high-definition laser technology, high-sensitivity, high-resolution photoresist, and high-speed image processingtechnology. This system makes a higher density printedcircuit board, reduction of defection rate and shorterproduction time possible simultaneously. It is also possible toproduce small lot/large variety products by merely switchingdata. Implementation of this system is expected to acceleratethe advancement in the features of printed circuit boardsresulting in more compact and high performance electronicproducts.
3 Next generation communication technology available for the home usePlastic Optical Fiber (POF)
POF is the next generation communication technologymaking up to 1 giga bps high speed communicationpossible. Since it is made of plastic fiber, it is strong againstmisalignment, and reasonable enough for the home use.Fujifilm researched and developed not only the optical fibermaterial, but also the optical transmission module (by FujiXerox) for data I/O and optical lens module (by Fuji PhotoOptical Co., Ltd.) as a part of optical communication system.
4 High luminance, high-resolution colors, and flat
Organic Electroluminescence (EL) TechnologyOffering Myriad of Advantages
Organic EL has advantage of high luminance due to its self-emissivity as well as high resolution colors and thinness, tomake various implementations possible. Especially theimplementation for flexible display differentiates organic ELfrom other methods of display including LCD. Fujifilminvested in Vitex Systems Inc., USA who had leading edgetechnologies such as ultra-barrier technology in February2004 to start a joint technological development of organic EL.

How We Promote CSR Activities
We have completed a companywide initial education ofcorporate ethics (legal compliance) through seminars, casestudies and a Q&A on Charter for Good Corporate Behaviorand Employee Code of Conduct, in terms of compliance.We are currently working on the transition from phase Iabove to phase II. We have also completed the domesticand overseas legal knowledge sharing system to exchangethe constantly updated legal information, as well as exportregulation applicable/non-applicable criteria for the dailyexportation tasks. We are now promoting educationprograms for all our employees regarding these issues. Weshall initiate phases I and II at all domestic and internationalgroup corporations, and promote awareness in al lassociated employees to arrive early at phase III.
From Preventative Measures to ProactiveMeasures
Early Arrival at Phase III
We stress the value of sincerity and transparency in and outof Fujifilm and, at the same time, fortify legal complianceand self-management in phase I. This phase is also regardedas the phase to introduce preventative measures to avoidadverse situations. We shall strive for proactive measures,such as social reform or social contribution activities outsidethe scope of our business through phases II and III,especially in phase III.Fujifilm Group has formed very intimate relationships withconsumers and customers in fields of imaging informationand document solution. We are also in collaborativerelationships with many corporations in terms ofdevelopment and manufacturing. We shall contribute to thesustainable development of society through active socialcontribution activities through our network of relationships.
We stimulate CSR awareness through training, and heighten sensitivity for grasping the current status and extracting challenges from it.
●Phase I: Proclamation (creating awareness)
Self-motivated “Plan, Do, Check, Act” approach to daily CSR activities conducted on small group basis.
●Phase II: Creating Routines (reflection of CSR concept in daily activities)
We reflect CSR viewpoints, in terms of economic, environmental and social aspects at the planning and inception phase of businesses.
●Phase III: Establishing Plans (reflection of CSR in business plans)
“Sustainable Development”
The CSR Activities by Fujifilm Group
Corporate Governance/Compliance and Risk Management
Promotion of group administration has become an increasinglyimportant challenge for Fujifilm. Therefore, as a part of ourgroup administration promotion measure, we incorporated thecorporate vice president system in 1998. With the corporate vicepresident system, we defined the role of the board of directorsas an “auditing body that determines basic administrativepolicies, as well as assesses strategies for their implementation.”The president, who is in charge of executing business decisions,shares his executive authority with corporate vice presidentsaccording to the basic policies determined by the board ofdirectors. We have also set the term of office for directors andcorporate vice presidents to be renewable every year so thatthey will focus clearly on their roles and responsibilities.There are currently 16 directors and 30 corporate vice presidents(15 of whom are also directors) in Fujifilm. Out of five corporateauditors, three of them are external auditors contributing to anobjective assessment of our administration. Since corporateauditors perform auditing for overall business execution underthe premise that they belong to an independent organizationsupporting corporate governance, each corporate auditorattends the meetings of the board of directors, and the full-timeauditor attends management committee meetings on a regularbasis as well.
Fundamentals of Corporate Governance
In order to keep up with the rapidly changing business environment, Fujifilm promotes efficient,responsive and sound group administration. To this end, we have executed administrative reform withnew corporate governance. We aim to become a corporation supported by all our stakeholders.

Fujifilm Group Green Policy
Attitude toward Our Environmental Involvement
We strive to implement special measures to realize high“environmental quality” in our products, services, andcorporate activities, as well as to endorse sustainabledevelopment. Such measures are promoted based on thefollowing three principles outlined in the Fujifilm GroupGreen Policy:� Triple Bottom Line: Consider the environmental
(conservation of the global environment), social(corporate social responsibility), and financial (corporategrowth and development) factors comprehensively.
� Eco-Efficiency: Raise environmental efficiency (loweringenvironmental impact while increasing revenue).
� Life-Cycle Thinking: Care for the environment throughouta product's entire life cycle.
Ensuring Safety of Chemical Substances
At Fujifilm, each chemical used in manufacturing is classifiedinto five ranks and managed separately in order to assuresafety. We also developed three databases, such as theEnvironmental and Safety Information Database, in order toensure an absolute and thorough safety control of thechemical substances.
Evolving Design for Environment
While introducing the LCA (life cycle assessment) toestablish a new system to raise and maintain environmentalquality, Fujifilm is also devoting a great deal of effort intothe acquisition of the Eco-Leaf Type III EnvironmentalLabeling Program.
Fuel Conversion for Reducing Greenhouse GasEmission
In order to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, fuel forthe in-house power generation facility is being switchedfrom heavy oil to natural gas at each of our Fujifilmfactories. Fujinomiya Factory and Odawara Factory alreadycompleted this fuel conversion in 2003, and AshigaraFactory did so in 2004.

Fujifilm's Ideal Management System
The CSR Activities by Fujifilm Group
Fujifilm Group's environmental management systemfeatures the ideas expanded from the Responsible Care(RC)*, which we have been working on since 1995. It is alsoa system developed based on the ISO14001** standards. Bymaking certain to pursue each step of the PDCA cyclebefore repeating the process, the system receivescontinuous improvement.
Management System
Under the corporate philosophy: “We will constantly strive to develop superior technology andcontinue to create 'an imaging and information-oriented culture,” Fujifilm aims to realize a group-wideCSR management system. Using the established system of environmental management as a base, wewill work on other management areas such as quality management.
Management System
* Responsible Care: Voluntary action assures environmental complianceand that we follow safety and hygiene requirements throughout theentire lifecycle of chemical substances (development and design >production > shipment > usage > final consumption > disposal).Accomplishments from such actions are also publicly announced toprovide an opportunity for society to offer feedback to us regardingthis information.
** ISO14001: An international standard for the environmentalmanagement system, published by the International StandardsOrganization (ISO) in 1996. There is one certifying agency in eachcountry - in Japan, it is the Japan Accreditation Board for ConformityAssessment (JAB).
Vertical and Horizontal Structure Enhancement
Following the establishment of a special environmentalsafety management division at each factory in 1970, Fujifilmset a “vertical” organizational control by placing anenvironmental safety administrator in each sales office andresearch division. In 1989, Fujifilm RC Committee (thecurrent FRC Committee) was established, building acompany-wide, cross-sectional “horizontal” committeestructure. The committee is now the keystone in promotingactivities to accomplish the objectives set in the FujifilmGroup Green Policy.
Fujifilm’s Environmental Management
Fujifilm’s quality policy, “We attain ‘GLOBAL QUALITY’ withour environmentally-friendly products and the best qualityin the world” is the foundation for our everyday businessoperations. Factories and research laboratories have alreadyacquired the ISO9001 certification. However, in order toachieve a higher level of customer satisfaction, both theheadquarters and the sales divisions will also integrate theISO9001 into the environmental management system tomake it a company-wide plan of operation.
Internal Audit and Mutual Audit
Environmental Management System
Quality Management System
By the end of 2003, all Fuji Photo Film headquarters, branchoffices, sales offices, factories, research laboratories,domestic subsidiaries, and overseas manufacturing sites hadcompleted acquisition of the ISO14001 certification.Overseas sales subsidiaries are currently in the process ofbeing certified.In addition, internal audits are taking place at each certifiedsite. Furthermore, in order to use the ISO14001 as anenvironmental management tool to meet the challengeseffectively and for assurance a mutual auditing system wasimplemented. This audit will be conducted among thegroup companies by the environmental ISO externalconsultants and the senior-class internal auditors. FujifilmGroup has trained 80 senior-class internal auditors for thispurpose.

� Corporate Activities and Flow of Funds� Stakeholders and EVA®
Fujifilm’s corporate activities are supported by variousstakeholders such as the customers who pay for ourproducts and services, retailers, business partners,distributors, employees, banks that provide loans forbusiness funds, and shareholders. Fujifilm pays thosestakeholders from the fund acquired through its businessactivities in the form of payment, sales margin, salary,and interest. Shareholders as stakeholders, receive theshare of the profit after Fujifilm makes all payments andpays salaries and taxes. Therefore, we believe maximizingthe profit to satisfy the shareholders as Fujifilm Group asa whole, is equivalent to providing sufficient values to allstakeholders.
� Steps for Incorporating EVA®
Fujifilm Group started preparing for the incorporation ofEVA® in September 2003 (through (1) education andnotif ication). We wil l be continuing with theincorporation steps such as (2) EVA® trial with theforecast (3) calculation of the result and comparisonagainst the forecast, and (4) top-down establishment ofEVA® goals.
� Incorporation Steps for EVA®
a consolidated administration around each of the corebusinesses including group corporations. In causing thisaction, we intend to optimize the group administrationthrough unconventional measures such as the incorporationof EVA® (Economic Value Added) as the common scale forthe consolidated group, and the IT infrastructure to supportthe consolidated administration.
Incorporation of EVA®
Fujifilm has decided to incorporate EVA® as the most important common scale in the group management and establisheda promotion team in September 2003. Later, taking asset and capital efficiency in consideration we incorporated EVA®
containing the concept of “cost of capital.” By using EVA® as our approach, Fujifilm can advance its selection andconcentration process, reconstruct the future business portfolio, and at the same time each business and group companycan use EVA® as a common language to maximize their cooperation.

About the Results of SustainabilityAccounting Calculations in Fiscal 2003
Sustainability Accounting
Economic Report
Fujifilm Group defines and discloses sustainability accounting as the environmental accounting that keeps track ofand discloses corporate investment, expenses and the results of environmental conservation combined withoverall social activity information involving things such as personnel, labor safety and social contribution. Theresult of Fujifilm Group’s environmental accounting, labor environment, and social accounting in fiscal 2003 is as follows:
Fiscal 2003 capital investment was 14.5 billion yen (1.3billion yen increase from the previous year), environmentalconservation expenses were 63 billion yen (4.2 billion yenincrease from the previous year), in-house economic gainswere 45.6 billion yen (3.1 billion yen increase from theprevious year), social merit was 12.6 billion yen (400 millionyen increase from the previous year), and customer meritwas 30.3 billion yen (10.3 billion yen increase from theprevious year).The increase in environmental conservation expenses ismainly due to improved energy conservation measures. Alsothe economic benefit of raw materials reduction andresource conservation has decreased. This is because we arecurrently in transition from our current main products toproducts in new areas. The amount of customer meritgained from R&D has greatly increased due to the largecontribution of increased sales of LCD films and thedevelopment of high-density recording media, etc., whichhas resulted in reduced costs to our customers.
We calculated the cost of improving our employees’ laborenvironment and social contribution within the Fujifilmgroup in the labor environment and social accounting. Theresult in fiscal 2003 was 4.4 billion yen.
Labor Environment and Social Accounting

What kind of medical equipment is the FCR PROFECT CS?
The FCR PROFECT CS is a digital X-ray image scanning device used for plain
radiography of mammary and chest regions. The operating process for the FCR
PROFECT CS system is as follows: the X-ray image is stored on an imaging plate, the
device reads the image data and converts it into an electric signal, then further into a
digital signal. After processing the image, the FCR PROFECT CS device provides a
high-definition diagnostic image suitable for radiography of each part of the body.
The imaging plate is produced by Fujifilm’s original technology and can be used for
radiography several thousand times. In contrast to single use films, the imaging plate
is environmentally friendly since it can be used over and over again.
You can perform a medical examination with a technology other thanFCR (for example conventional films), can’t you? What would be thedecisive factor in a radiologist to selecting the FCR PROFECT CS?
The FCR PROFECT CS can consistently provide images at the highest definition. With
machines using conventional film, it is necessary to fine-tune the developing
machine to obtain a proper diagnostic image in high definition. If the radiation dose
is not adjusted exactly when taking X-ray photos, it becomes impossible to obtain
the diagnostic image at the proper tone. This requires experienced radiography skills.
On the other hand, the FCR PROFECT CS consistently provides high-definition
diagnostic images in the desired tone. This is thanks to the image optimization
process that occurs after converting the X-ray image into digital data.
Are there any other advantages of X-ray photo digitization?
The diagnostic image can be stored as digital data and transmitted via network to a
medical specialist in a remote medical facility, to be diagnosed.
Please tell us about the characteristics of the FCR PROFECT CS.
Its strength lies especially in breast cancer examination. Reported cases of breast
cancer are increasing rapidly. One out of every 30 women is afflicted with breast
cancer, surpassing stomach cancer to become the leading cancer occurrence in
females. On the other hand, it is also known that early detection allows a high
probability for curing the patient. The FCR PROFECT CS makes the best use of the X-
ray signal through dual side reading that absorbs X-ray at a high efficiency rate. This
allows the device to clearly project the small calcified shadows and tumor shadows
particularly necessary for early detection of breast cancer.
I understand that the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare hasdecided to abolish breast cancer examination by palpation andocular inspection only and to fully introduce mammography, (themain breast cancer examination method in Europe and NorthAmerica that uses X-rays to diagnose and locate tumors of thebreasts). Would you tell us about it?
The previous model, the 5000MA was the first model to handle breast cancer
examination by mammography but the FCR PROFECT CS makes it easier. The FCR
PROFECT CS is designed to withstand cold climates and the vibration of a bus. By
carrying FCR PROFECT CS on an X-ray vehicle, those who are unable to travel to
clinics or hospitals may have a breast cancer examination more easily. We hope this
will contribute to the promotion of breast cancer examinations.
Please tell us also about the environmental performance of the device.
The FCR PROFECT CS has greatly increased image
processing capacity over the previous 5000MA’s 48 to 80
images per hour ability. The electric energy consumption per
100 plates for the FCR RPROFECT CS is less than a half of
that of the 5000MA. When improving products to meet
social needs, it is important to consider the environmental
performance as well. Four imaging plates can be set on the
FCR PROFECT CS at the same time for greater processing
capability, thus reducing wait time for patients. We believe
that this feature improves efficiency in medical institutions.

Please tell us how this intestinal endoscope was developed.
Fujifilm jointly developed the endoscope with Dr. Hironori Yamamoto at Jichi Medical School.
Starting in 2000, we successfully completed product development in the fall of 2003 after a
great deal of trial and error. This endoscope is the first of its kind in the world. The double-
balloon method has made it possible to check up on and treat any part of the small intestine
throughout its seven meter span.
Couldn’t you check the small intestine in the past?
Since the small intestine is free-moving in the abdomen, it was difficult to insert the endoscope
into the far region of the small intestine. Although a capsule endoscope* has recently been made
available, it has weaknesses such as not being able to treat or focus throughout the entire small
intestine which increased the chance of overlooking problems. We have therefore implemented
Dr. Yamamoto’s double-balloon method where the examiner can create fixed places in the small
intestine enabling advancement of the endoscope through the entire small intestine.*The capsule endoscope under clinical testing on a test subject in Japan is swallowedand excreted naturally after it goes through the esophagus, the stomach, and theintestine. It takes two images per second, and its data is transmitted wirelessly for amedical specialist to examine at a later date.
What are some of the ailments in the small intestine?
Since until recently the small intestine was largely unexplored, it was believed that the small
intestine developed few lesions. The double-balloon method intestinal endoscope however,
has made it possible to provide a highly accurate medical examination of the small intestine
and to detect various lesions such as cancer, Crohn’s disease, and tumors.
Can the double-balloon method intestinal endoscope be used fortreatments as well as medical examinations?
Yes. We can give treatment such as stanching, excision of polyps on the small intestine, and
dilation of the stricture. We can also remove any foreign matter that has entered the small
intestine but cannot be discharged. We feel that this is a huge contribution to medicine.
Masayuki Takano:Operations ManagerDesigning Section, MedicalEquipment DivisionFUJINON CORPORATION“We have been developingendoscopes since 1971. Wehave been supporting themedical field by respondingto the needs of patients anddoctors.”
Double-Balloon Method
Intestinal EndoscopeFujifilm’s own double-balloon method intestinal endoscope, the first of its kind in theworld, can ease a patient of pain when undergoing an endoscopy. It allows focusing withinthe entire small intestinal region which makes early detection and treatment possible.
Double-balloon
“There are two types of conventional intestinalendoscopes: One is the Sonde endoscope that isinserted into the small intestine synchronizing with itsperistaltic movement; the other is a push endoscopethat is pushed into the small intestine forcibly,maneuvering through the stomach and duodenum toline up in a passage to the intestine. The Sondeendoscope takes a long time to reach the smallintestine, and the push endoscope gives a patient agreat deal of discomfort.The double-balloon method intestinal endoscope isan intestinal endoscope that was developed to give apatient a safer and more accurate medicalexamination while inflicting less discomfort.We are now promoting the double-balloon methodintestinal endoscope both domestically and abroad.”
Hironori Yamamoto, medical doctor (at left)Digestive Tract Internal Medicine, Jichi Medical School
Who are the users of the Frontier SP3000?
Most SP3000 users are digital minilabs, where photos are printed on paper from
negatives. It is much quicker to develop a roll of film and print photos on paper from
negatives than it used to be. Digital minilabs and Fujifilm are now working together to
satisfy customer demands. One such customer demand is speed. In 2003, Fujifilm
constructed and started operating the Partner Net System* to support the digital minilabs.
We support the digital minilabs nationwide to create an environment where they can
provide customers with a better quality and faster service.* Partner Net System supports Frontier operation by monitoring the Frontier equipment at digital
minilabs through the support center remote management system. This enables the supportcenter to solve problems online through remote maintenance. When parts need to be replaced,a service engineer is dispatched.
Please tell us something about the Design for Environment in thissystem.
First of all, we have greatly reduced the weight by changing the structure and
materials of the body. Secondly, we have switched the exposure light source from a
halogen lamp to recently-developed light-emitting diode (LED). This has greatly
reduced the standby power consumption as well as the operational power
consumption. While halogen lamps need to be replaced every three months, LEDs
never need replacement, greatly reducing the running cost as well as the
environmental impact.
Are there any new environmental considerations to rawmaterials?
Fujifilm and a resin manufacturer jointly developed the ABS ECO PELLET* we use as
raw material. At its base, ABS ECO PELLET uses recycled Fuji Xerox copying machine
covers that are crushed, washed and blended by the resin maker.* ABS ECO PELLET is a blend of 20 % recycled material to 80% virgin resin.
What advantages can photos printed by the Frontier at the storefrontoffer?
The biggest advantage is its digital image processing. It can automatically compensate for the red-
eye effect, the shadows cast over the face by backlighting or a blue tint to the skin to create
beautiful photos. All the photographic know-how that we at Fujifilm have accumulated over the
years is condensed into the Frontier database. Being able to capture and store many peoples
beautiful memories is Frontier’s reason for being, our mission and our customers’ happiness.
Digital Minilab
Frontier SP3000SP3000 reads the image from a film when printing a photo. Based onlifecycle assessment (LCA), this product has successfully achieved a 56%reduction in greenhouse gas emissions through a reduction in powerconsumption and the body weight.

HN-N is for domestic newspaper printing, but how does it differfrom a normal printing plate?In the newspaper printing industry, the users’ demand is focusedand strict. Newspapers are printed in a large volume 365 days ayear. For this reason, it is necessary to have a stable supply of thesame quality plates. Even in the case of an earthquake, the supplymust remain stable. Also, as plate making can be done in a shorttime, the final deadline for newspaper article drafts can beextended more than before.
For this product, the thermal negative plate method is used.What other methods are available?Until 2002, various methods (such as electronic photography,photopolymer and silver halide) were used. After 2003, the thermalnegative method is becoming the standard. The reason is that thishigh quality method and the capability of bright room processinghave been accepted by the users. However, the existing thermalnegative method has the disadvantage of requiring oven heatingfor plate making. With the HN-N, the process of oven heating iseliminated, enabling rapid processing and environmentally friendlyplate making. We feel that promoting environmental considerationsin the newspaper field, where society is widely involved, carries asignificant meaning.The plates are said to be environment friendly, but what exactlyare the environmental considerations of this product?Basically there are two points. One is the realization of ovenlessdesign (unheated). The ovenless design has lead to the reduction ofelectricity consumption by 42,000kWh/year (an electricity bill of 1million yen), and of CO2 equivalent to 15 ton/year. Another benefitis the reduction of 280 L/month (3,360 L/year) of the solution wastethat is generated in the process of developing when compared withthe thermal CTP system.What other advantages does the ovenless method have?
We received a report from one user saying that they used to heatthe plates to over 100 degrees, and ovenless has reduced theircooling expenses. The printing operators very much prefer thelower temperature and the elimination of odor. Also, there is noperformance fluctuation caused by temperature variation in theheating process, which was a problem with the existing method.The stable quality available now in plate making is quite popular.
Ovenless Thermal Negative Plates For Newspapers
HN-N

“Ovenless truly is a breakthrough technology. It is people-friendly, environment-friendly, and budget-friendly. We want many people to use it and realize its values.”
� Comparison between the Heat Method and OvenlessMethod (This Product)
Does oven heating generate significant heat?
With the heating method, a large oven operates constantly attemperatures between 100ºC to 153ºC. Severe heat and odor areserious problems for operators.What does ovenless mean? What has been the obstacle indeveloping it?To put it simply, the existing method used heat for a reaction. Theovenless design causes a reaction without applying heat. However,low-temperature reactions meant it was possible that unwantedreactions might occur at normal room temperature. The result ofour R&D is the ability to manage the control reaction at a lowtemperature, which makes it possible to offer a comfortableworking environment to our customers.

Please tell me what are some of the advantages of FinePixF450·EF440that was released in July 2004?
One of the advantages that it has is its size. It is designed so that not only is it compact but
also rugged and durable. Users are always looking for a smaller digital camera. Downsizing
the digital camera also leads to an improvement in life cycle assessment (LCA) of the
product.
I am wondering whether the users can adapt to the changes indigital cameras caused by rapid size reduction?
As the functionality of digital cameras advances rapidly, we are discovering new and fun
ways to communicate to users how to use and enjoy them.
Are there factors in reducing its size that have presentedobstacles for environmental considerations?
When size reduction progresses to this point, trying to recycle smaller parts may increase
environmental impacts. Legal regulations are also being strengthened against the use of
recycled materials containing hazardous materials, making recycling more difficult.
Therefore, we are always looking ahead and trying to come up with the most effective
environmental considerations suitable for digital cameras.
Is there any difficulty simultaneously satisfying both theusers’needs and the environmental considerations?
The liquid crystal display (LCD) panel presents some difficulty. Although the environmental
impact of the LCD panel is high, the larger the LCD panel the easier it is for the user to view
letters and images. In developing the FinePix F450 and F440, we did want a larger LCD but
certainly did not want to increase the environmental impact. This is the reason why we
developed the new thin LCD panel.
The FinePix is a cutting-edge product in terms of life cycleassessment in the digital camera market. Please tell us about anyfuture challenges?
One of the challenges to the FinePix is establishment of a system accreditation program*. If
we can successfully establish the program, we will be able to give our customers Eco-Label
information sooner. A second challenge is the reduction of operational energy consumption,
an essential problem that faces us in the high-resolution era. This is our theme by default.
* The system accreditation program is one of the accreditation methods for a Type III Eco-Label. It is asystem in which data monitoring specialists build a product environmental data collection system ina workplace. It monitors the data as reliably as would an outside monitor. This enables theproduction of a label that discloses the facts economically and in a timely manner.
Michihiro Miyake (at left:), Kouji Hisamatsu (at right)Design Department, Digital Images Division“We are always challenging our limits. The shape, size, raw material and position of each part is so important to theproduction of a compact camera that a margin of error of plus or minus 0.1mm can cause a detrimental result.”

� Comparison of the conventional model with environmental impact in terms of life cycle
What differentiates liquid crystal from cathode-ray tube (CRT)
displays and what are the roles of the various flat panel display
materials?
The cathode-ray tube is hard on the eyes of a user as the light from the light source
directly irradiates their eyes. The film in liquid crystal displays decreases the strain on
the eyes because light is reflected against the film once before irradiating the eyes. In
the case of conventional liquid crystal displays, it was difficult to see the images from
a certain angle due to the inherent features of liquid crystal. The film material (similar
to a sheet film) affixed to the surface of the screen acts as a polarized filter and
makes the image clearly visible from any angle. It reduces eye fatigue as well and
saves the frustration of viewers standing at non-optimal angles.
What is Fujifilm’s market share of this material?
The materials produced at the Ashigara Factory, the Odawara Factory, the
Fujinomiya Factory, and the FUJIFILM Opto Materials Co., Ltd. are supplied to
polarized filter makers and panel makers, and are shipped to the market for sales by
electric machinery makers. We produce four materials for flat panel displays,
FUJITAC, Wide View (WV) Film, CV film, and transer film. For example, we have
more than an 80% share of FUJITAC, the material indispensable to film for liquid
crystal displays.
For Liquid Crystal Displays
Flat Panel Display Film Materials
As liquid crystal TV sets become popular and PC monitors grow ever
larger, the demand for liquid crystal displays is increasing rapidly. Fujifilm
produces various films necessary for production of liquid crystal displays.Takashi Andou (at left):Technical Section, Electronic Display MaterialsDivision, Odawara FactoryYoshiaki Narukawa (at right):Technical Section, Production Div. No.1 AshigaraFactory

What are the features of the new Fujicolor QuickSnapNight&Day?
In response to the voices of women in their 20’s to 30’s who wishto take clear night shots, it carries the feature of a nightphotography mode using Fujicolor SUPERIA Venus1600 camera filmand an F6.2 high-performance dual lens. This has made phototaking by hand easy and comfortable without using a tripod.
What design innovations or design difficulties were there?
In the night photography mode, environmental impact was reducedby using only a mechanical function and no electronics parts toadjust aperture, shutter speed and flash brightness. The hardestpart was to squeeze this function into the body size of the popularFujicolor QuickSnap.Sharing common parts, such as flash units, is the basic conditionfor reusable parts in cyclic manufacturing, isn’t it?Yes, it is. If there is no design change of expensive parts, such as flashunits, it increases reusability effect. In that way, we manage to limitenvironmental impact even with a high-end model like Night & Day.What kind of value would you like to offer through FujicolorQuickSnap?It is the “joy of capturing an irreplaceable moment.” We are confidentwe can offer a new way to nurture a fun-loving spirit in night snapphotography utilizing the features of silver halide film (high sensitivityand high image quality). Digital cameras and cell phones with built-incameras are growing in popularity. Fujicolor QuickSnap is a cameraanybody can easily use to take high quality photos.

� “Nice Shot” Photo Survey Results
“Up until now, I also suffered when I saw my patientssuffering during check-ups. What I want to do isendoscopy that both doctors and patients can enjoy.We have more and more patients who come fromother prefectures for check-ups using a nasalendoscope, but I really hope nasal endoscope check-ups become available at hospitals everywhere.”
Doctor Tetsumaru MiyawakiDirector, Izumo Central Clinic
What kind of diagnostics is this product used for?
It is used for the diagnosis and treatment of upper digestive tractorgans (stomach and esophagus). The endoscope was traditionallyinserted through the mouth, but at the request of Europe inparticular, the capability of being inserted through the nose hasbeen developed.
What are the advantages of it being inserted through the nose?
Inserting a 1cm diameter tube through the patient’s mouths causesa considerable amount of pain because it causes pharyngealreflexes. Inserting it through the nose makes the tube go down theesophagus through the nasal passage, causing less chance ofpharyngeal reflex as the tube does not touch the base of thetongue. There is practically no pain. Also, if inserted through themouth, anesthesia, which is used at some institutions, is notrequired, resulting in less burden on the body.
What benefit is there to a doctor?
It allows examination of the patient to be done gently. Besides that,it reduces the time required for giving general anesthesia, makingan anesthesiologist unnecessary. This also makes communicationwith the patient during treatment possible, leading to saferexaminations.In what occasion is the existing method (oral insertion type) used?
As the existing method allows for large-scale treatment, it isdesirable to use it depending on the purpose of the patient’s check-up and the symptoms of the affected area. If it is a periodic check-up, it is possible to use a nasal insertion approach for theexamination. If it turns out that large-scale treatment is necessary,the existing method can be used. We are hopeful that patients willhave less pain and suffering in the future.
For Upper Digestive Tract Organs
Ultra-fine FTS Transnasal EndoscopeUltra miniaturization was realized by reducing the size of parts asmuch as possible and utilizing an ultra high density mountingtechnology. As it is very small, it alleviates the pain and uneasinessfelt by patients and makes communication during treatmentpossible.
Yuuichi Torii, Design Section, Medical Equipment Division,FUJINON CORPORATION
“Ultra miniaturization was realized by making the parts as small aspossible and utilizing an ultra high-density mounting technology,retaining the existing type’s image quality and usability.”
Existing type (top):approx. 1cm in diameter

Who are the main users of Printpix?
The most typical application is for overseas ID photos. With Printpix,unlike normal photo development prints and camera shop digitalprints, there are no negative films. From the aspects of personaldata protection and confidentiality, if it is used for ID photos, itoffers a special advantage.
What about the situation in Japan?
Domestic users are men in their 50’s and 60’s, and particularlyoutstanding are the customers who want high quality images.People in this age bracket desire to keep high quality memorablephotos. With digital data, there is a risk of losing it. Given the agegroup of its main users, Printpix is designed so that the product canstore data on a storage media without using a PC. Also, there arelarger color LED screens available.
You mentioned print quality, but what is the basic differencebetween Printpix and ink jet printing technology?This product uses Fujifilm’s proprietary technology called thePrintpix method. It is inkless and is a leading edge technology. Itsmain feature is that the paper itself creates full coloration usinglight and heat. Also, since it does not use ink, there is no wastesuch as ink ribbon and ink cartridges.
It produces environmentally friendly prints, doesn’t it? Are thereany other benefits to users?It gives a sense of security as there is always the same level imagequality output, which is another advantage. In the case of ink jetprinting, ink hardens if the product is not used for some time,disabling printout and/or creating coarseness and smear lines. Withthe Printpix method, since the paper itself creates coloration,printing is always stable.
Digital Photo Printers
Printpix CX-500Printpix is a printer for digital camera photos. It uses an inklessprinting method. It features design considerations especially fordigital camera users.
This magnetic tape is used in IBM’s recording media product, butwhat is it used for?It is an advanced information society in which we live, and thevolume of information that businesses deal with is increasing yearby year. This product is used for high-capacity data storage andperiodic backup. A high capacity of 300GB has been achieved withour NANO CUBIC technology. We believe it is a product thatcontributes positively to our advanced information society.
Who are the users of the product?
We mainly export the product overseas. The users are governmentinstitutes, banks, universities, insurance companies, broadcastingcompanies, and medical institutes.
How does it differ from common recording media?
This product is used mainly in the field where preservation ofinformation is essential. Therefore, very high reliability is required,and not only high capacity. Good data storage stability and datawriting stability are also important. For example, a change (error) inthe balance of a bank account would be inexcusable. No dataerrors are acceptable whatsoever. Also, the data must be storednearly permanently.
What are the environmental considerations of this product?
This product is a medium, so the existing size of the cartridgecannot be changed so easily. However, with capacity increase in thesame size cartridge, we can, for example, get by with one cartridgewhere we used to need two. Our future objective (by 2010) is todesign a cartridge that is the same size with a 10 terabyte capacity.

Our Contribution to the Establishment of aUniform Industry StandardFujifilm worked with the Japan Environmental ManagementAssociation for Industry (JEMAI) to create unified Type IIIEco-Label* standards for digital cameras. We obtained aType III Eco-Label, the first of its kind in the digital cameraworld in April 2003. Since then, we have obtained Type IIIEco-Labels for each new digital camera model. We createda publicly available web page displaying the data on 12camera models that were awarded a Type III Eco-Label (asof August 2004).
* The Type III Eco-Label Program is environmental labeling indicatingenvironmental information based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)that Japan Environmental Management Association for Industry(JEMAI), a corporation, has operated since June 2002.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA ) of A Digital Camera
We at Fujifilm established the Advanced Core TechnologyLaboratories and Equipment Production Engineering Centerin October 2003. This was in an effort to marshal thetechnological know-how and resources of our film-related
equipment so that we might bolster our digital technologiesdevelopment system. There are approximately 1,000product variations even in Fujifilm’s typical middle-scalefilm-related equipment. For each of those 1,000 there isapproximately 20,000 individual parts per unit. Fujifilm havemade development of such products possible by putting theindividual components in the equipment in perspective. Thisis accomplished by centralized control and utilization oflarge amounts of information about parts and materialscontaining chemical substances at our technologicalworkmanship center.
Establishment of Equipment ProductionEngineering Center
Many kinds of chemical substances are used in Fujifilm’sproducts, each of which play an important role. Fujifilm isdistinctly aware of green chemistry practices for handlingchemical substances during product development andmanufacture. In order to minimize the environmentalimpact, green chemistry uses or produces as few chemicalsubstances as possible that become waste when thematerials are designed, synthesized and implemented.

Fujifilm Group’s Product Creation
Fujifilm uses a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to makequantitative and objective evaluations of the impact ourproducts place on the environment. This system ofevaluation brought about the establishment of a newstructure where no Fujifilm product is produced before theenvironmental quality is deliberated and approved at allstages of product planning, research and development,production and sales, shipment, use and disposal.
The Workings of Design for Environmentat Fujifilm
In April of 2002, Fujifilm started the adoption of the “Basic Regulations for Design That Takes theEnvironment into Consideration”. Since April of 2003 all Fujifilm Group companies have worked inaccordance with these Basic Regulations. Each department has independently conformed to the BasicRegulations to bring all new products into accordance with the company-wide standard of usingDesign for Environment.
The Design for Environment Shall Be Evaluatedaccording to Three StandardsIn the research and development stage, we evaluate theDesign for Environment according to three standards: theenvironmental quality, LCA and green procurement. Fujifilmhas adopted the “Basic Regulations for Design That Takesthe Environment into Consideration”, the LCAimplementation rules, the Suppliers Green Standard and theProcurement Green Standard to ensure that theseevaluations will be made according to a uniform standard.

Fujifilm attaches great importance to the concept that weuse or produce as few chemical substances as possible thatwill become waste in the product development andsubstance handling processes. Fujifilm is minimizing theirenvironmental impact to complete arrangements for theglobal control system in l ine with Fujif i lm Groupcorporations’ Green Policy. This is so that we can improveour control of the chemical substances and minimize riskfrom the four following viewpoints:(1) Chemical substance management in line with ISO
directives (2) Chemical substance management based on the risk
factor consideration(3) Responding to more diverse and strict legal regulations
regarding environmental chemical substance safetye.g. The order of the European Restriction of Use of
Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical andElectronic Equipment statement, the EuropeanCommission’s draft proposal for a Regulation on theRegistration, Evaluation, Authorization andRestrictions of Chemicals, and revised law withregard to Chemical Substances.
(4) How to control chemical substances of public concerne.g. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (the so-called
environmental hormones), a fluorine compound.
Our Approach in Chemical SubstanceManagement
Chemical Substance Management
Fujifilm Group’s Product Creation
Basic Provisions for the Environmental andSafety Management of Chemical SubstancesFujif i lm is classifying the chemical substances andcontrolling them in line with hazard, legal restrictions and acontrol policy that is in accordance with the Basic Provisionsfor the Environmental and Safety Management of ChemicalSubstances.
Information ManagementFujifilm maintains three databases: a legal restrictionsdatabase, an environmental safety of chemical substancesdatabase and an FMSDS database (Refer to the diagram onthe right.).The three databases are maintained as necessary. Anychange in one database is reflected in the other databasesautomatically. All the databases are made available to theassociated users.
Chemical Substance Management
Since its establishment, Fujifilm has always targeted harmony between human beings and nature withmaintaining the safety of chemical substances under the idea of "Environmental consideration and conservation asthe basis of company management." Comprehensive risk management is applied in all processes (the product’sentire life cycle); from the employment of chemical substances to their disposal at all Fujfilm Group companies, bycondensing all of the technical know-how that we have acquired over the years.

Basic ConceptAt Fujifilm, decisions to purchase goods and services for ourcorporate activities are made based on the concepts listedbelow:
One of the basic strategies stated in the medium-termmanagement plan “VISION75” is a thorough overalladministrative structural reform. This strategy is made up ofseveral plans, such as reorganization of the manufacturingsystem and reformation of the domestic sales system andpurchase policy. We strive to accomplish these goals with aglobal system. Holding events such as the Procurement PlanMeeting with members that include the overseas groupcompanies is a major part of our effort.
Procurement Procedures
When Fujifilm receives a transaction proposal from a potentialbusiness partner, the first step is to interview the candidate. Aformal contract will be awarded if both sides can agree on allpreset conditions. Starting in 2003, we introduced “SPIRITS” – an electroniccommercial purchase transaction system – for smoother andmore efficient transactions. Please visit the Fujifilm website formore information.
Educating the BuyersIn order to foster improved relationships with our businesspartners, Fujifilm buyers participate in various internal andexternal seminars. Newly appointed buyers attend seminarsspecifically so the new buyers can learn the basic pieces ofknowledge, legislation and business practices. In addition tothe seminars for the newly-assigned buyers, newlyappointed managers must also attend practical seminars forrisk management in purchasing to expand their knowledgeon legal risks.
Participation in the Council of GreenProcurement Survey StandardizationFormerly, each client company would individually carry outsurveillance of suppliers' green procurement standards. Thiscaused an occasional necessity to survey chemicalsubstances thousands at a time. The Council of GreenProcurement Survey Standardization* narrowed down thechemical substances to be surveyed to 29 selections, inorder to more efficiently obtain accurate information. TheCouncil also created a survey form to be used by allmembers and started a trial operation in 2002. As a coremember of the Council, Fujifilm played an important role inselecting the 29 chemical substances to be surveyed and inthe creation of the survey form. The Council also organizes presentations and publishesbooklets as promotional activities for green procurement.Participating members of Fujif i lm helped with theimplementation of these activities.* Established by several volunteering corporations in 2001. Created for the
purpose of unifying surveying standards within the industry instead ofhaving each company survey chemical substances contained in parts andraw materials based on its own unique standards. There currently are about70 companies volunteering their services.
Green Procurement Seminarsfor SuppliersFujifilm hosts Green ProcurementSeminars for its supplying corporations,and requests their cooperation in theSuppliers Green Standard and theProcurement Green Standard. We alsohost internal briefing sessions to shareour approach to Green Procurement,in preparation for the supplierseminars.March 2003 – Green Procurement Seminar for Fujifilm Suppliers (participated by 200 corporations)
November 2003 – Green Procurement Seminar for FUJINON CORPORATIONSuppliers (participated by 156 corporations)
October 2004 – Fujifilm Green Procurement Seminar (participated by 106corporations)
Implementing the SurveyWe employ surveys to confirm the supplying corporationsand actual procurements are up to our standards.Frequency of the survey is determined based on themagnitude of supposed risk. The main factors in thesesurveys are the chemical substances contained in products.We utilize apparatus such as the fluorescent X-ray machineto measure the content of substances that wil l beprohibited by the RoHS (Restriction of Use of CertainHazardous Substances in Electrical and ElectronicEquipment) statement. These substances include cadmium,lead and hexavalent chromium. Their inclusion in procuredparts of appliances to be shipped to the EU will beprohibited starting July 1st, 2006.If the survey result does not meet the standard, we notifythe supplier of our standards again and requestamelioration. We will reexamine the contract with thatsupplier if the survey result after the notification shows noimprovement. Fujifilm has recently added a section on theProcurement Green Standard to the existing specifications,used in consensual val idation of the procurementspecifications with the suppliers.
For Fair Purchase TransactionsFujifilm established 10 purchase policy items to promote fairpurchase transactions. Here are four of the main policyitems:
1. Legitimacy of the Procurement StandardsWe purchase superior goods and services from the mostcompetitive suppliers. These suppliers are selected by consideringthe legitimacy and clarity of their standards, such as: the quality,price, stability of supplies and corporate reliability. Decisions thatconcern purchase transactions are made by the purchase division,which was created when it was detached from another division.
2. Openness and FairnessPurchase opportunities are given to all business partners, domesticand overseas. This means that we always consider purchasingfrom untried business partners as well as those previouslyestablished.
3. Legal Compliance, Resource Preservation andEnvironmental Conservation
We strive to fulfill the role of a good citizen who voluntarilycontributes to the society. Fujifilm's purchasing activities complywith all related legislation and we are always conscious ofresource preservation and environmental conservation.
1. Fujifilm selects new business partners and decides on eachindividual purchase transaction based on the legitimacy andclarity of the suppliers' standards, such as: the quality, price,corporate reliability, capability to provide steady supplies andenvironmental conservation.
2. As a general rule, Fujifilm negotiates estimates with severalsuppliers in order to ensure fairness in competition and supplierselection.
3. Fujifilm makes a concerted effort to maintain proper purchaseamounts from each supplier, in order to spread purchasesamong as many business partners as possible. This way, we canprevent Fujifilm from over relying on certain business partners,and vice versa.
4. Fujifilm reexamines continuous transactions periodically, andwelcomes the opportunity to add new suppliers to our list.
Material Purchase
As a member of the global community, Fujifilm always strives to provide our customers with the best products and services. Forthis reason, the purchasing of goods and services necessary to our business strictly follows clearly-defined standards. Extraconsideration is given to legal compliance and environmental conservation when establishing effective relationships with ourbusiness partners. Please take a look at the information on Material Purchasing and Green Procurement on the Fujifilm website:
http://www.fujifilm.co.jp/corporate/procurement/index.html
Environmental Considerations in Merchandise ProcurementAt Fujifilm, parts and materials procurement is also a screeningcriterion for Design for Environment. We strive to achievehigher environmental quality by establishing a Suppliers GreenStandard and a Procurement Green Standard.
Green Procurement
Suppliers Green Standard1. To meet the Green Standard for suppliers, they must either:
– Have already acquired or plan to acquire within three years the ISO14001 certification.
– Have already acquired or plan to acquire within a year the Eco-Stagecertification.
– Have already acquired or plan to acquire within a year the Eco-Action 21 certification.
2. If number 1 does not apply, suppliers then must meet all thefollowing conditions:– They must comply with environmental regulations.– They must not handle certain chemical substances specified by Fujifilm.– They must meet more than 70% of the twelve requirements that
Fujifilm has established for environmental conservation andchemical substance management (*).
Suppliers provide raw materials, parts, packing materials, etc.* (1) Corporate philosophy and policy toward environmental conservation; (2)
Environmental conservation objectives; (3) Enforcement plan; (4) Promotionorganization of environmental conservation; (5) Reexamining status of legalcompliance; (6) Air pollution control; (7) Water pollution control; (8) Chemicalmanagement system; (9) Waste control; (10) Energy conservation; (11)Emergency response measures; (12) Education and training
Procurement Green StandardTo meet the Green Standard for procurement:1. Procured items must not include any prohibited chemical
substances*1.2. Fujifilm must control and manage the content of chemical
substances to be reduced*2 and managed chemical substancecontent allowance*3 in each procurement.
Procurement includes raw materials, parts, packing materials, etc.*1 Chemical substances whose production, use and importation are
prohibited by law.*2 Chemical substances that will be reduced according to the future
climate of legal control and Fujifilm's policy.*3 Chemical substances whose content control was deemed necessary
by Fujif i lm in Basic Regulations for Design That Takes theEnvironment into Consideration.
Request for Green ProcurementSurvey Distributed to theBusiness Partners
Supporting the Eco-Stage
Fujifilm advises its business partnersto acquire the ISO14001 certification.In reality however, it is difficult forsmall- to mid-sized companies toacquire ISO certifications. For thisreason, a Stage 1 Certification of the Eco-Stage* is alsorecognized as fulfilling the requirement to meet theSuppliers Green Standard. Fujifilm plays a key role in thisprogram by sending a lecturer to the Eco-Stage promotionalseminars, developing instructional manuals to raise the levelof evaluators, supporting their training programs, and so on.
* Eco-Stage is an environmental management evaluation and support systempromoted by the Eco-Stage Institute. The institute was established incooperation with numerous corporations, non-profit organizations anduniversities, including Fujifilm and Fuji Xerox. The system allows small- tomid-sized companies, for whom acquisition of the ISO certification isdifficult, to start working from a more basic level. Eco-Stage has fiveassessment levels. By using this model, supplying corporations can establishan environmental management system. Through implementation andimprovement, they can raise their environmental consideration level andachieve sustainable development of the corporate management.
Accomplishing the Green Procurement RatioObjective
Fujifilm promotes Green Procurement of office suppliesthrough the Green Procurement Promotion Committee andimplements Green Procurement in the five categories*established by the Fujifilm Group Green Policy. We haveaccomplished our objective of 100% Green Procurementratio** for year 2003.
* The five established categories are: (1) Printing Paper and Other OfficePaper; (2) Copy Machines, Printers and Facsimiles; (3) Personal Computers;(4) Office and Stationery Supplies; (5) General Merchandise.
** Green Procurement ratio: Ratio of the Green Procurement to the totalprocurement amount in the target category.

Fujicolor QuickSnap is a product that epitomizes our conceptof cyclic manufacturing. Fujifilm has been reusing parts ofQuickSnap cameras since the product launch in 1986. A full-fledged reuse-and-recycle procedure was launched in 1990when the Fujicolor QuickSnap Recycling Center opened itsdoors. In 1998, the world's first Fujicolor QuickSnapAutomated Cyclic Manufacturing Factory began operatingwith the objective of recycling and using resources moreeffectively. The factory built a production system that differsfrom traditional manufacturing in that used products arereborn through recovery, disassembly, inspection andreproduction. Fujifilm will continue with our contributions
towards making the cyclical society a reality by applying theconcept of cyclic manufacturing with the experience inenvironmental technology we have gained since ourfoundation.

Cyclic Manufacturing and Fujicolor QuickSnap
Fujifilm Group's Product Creation
Sorting DisassemblyRecovered Fujicolor QuickSnap are sorted by model.
Body is disassembled into separate parts, and these parts are then sorted into “reusables” and “recyclables.”
Inspection Process Each part goes through a rigorous quality check, and is repaired if necessary.
ProductionPackagingProducts are boxed after films are loaded and packaged.
Quality AssuranceProducts go through a vibration test, light leak check, photographing test, and so on.
Retail Shop
Digital Minilab
Customer
Products are classified by their brand. A distinction of whether they are reusable or not and recyclable or not is made as well. Because of tape or glue
residue, altered products cannot be easily recycled. They are handed over to external recycling service contractors, who will crush and incinerate them.
Altered Products That Are Difficult to Recycle
Products are sorted onto the dedicated brand-specific lines. Lens

This space is specifically allocated because writing names and dates on resinous parts of the unit with a marker could very easily cause the product to be non-recyclable. When you take a look at the recovered Fujicolor QuickSnap products, you can see that many people make use of this “name field.”
Did you know that there is a space to write owner information on the back of each unit?
Through the internal plastic recycling system, products that did not pass the inspection will be reused as molding materials for covers and other parts of the Fujicolor QuickSnap.
Defective Products
Paper cartons and labels are automatically removed. Labels are then sent to external recycling services to be pulverized and reused as reducing agent in the blast furnace at JFE.
� Cyclic Manufacturing Images
Most of the parts from the Fujicolor QuickSnap are reusableand recyclable. However, its recovery rate remains low, ataround 60%. This is because third party vendors acquiremany of the used Fujicolor QuickSnaps and reload the filmson their own. Such intervention often damages parts in theproduct, making it non-reusable even if it comes back to thecyclical factory next time. While facing such challenges, weare actively implementing measures to raise the recoveryrate to 100%. We respond to civil action brought ontoimitation products and various promotional activities aretaking place. Fujifilm will continue working to achieve theideal form of cyclic manufacturing.
Challenges with Fujicolor QuickSnap
At Fujicolor QuickSnap Cyclic Manufacturing Factory, weare accepting requests for group tours of the factory. Insupport of environmental education we openly welcomechildren to tour. We make ourfaci l ity accessible as anenvironmental learning lessonfor elementary school students,as well as a senior field trip forjunior high school students.Please feel free to inquire for more details.The original Fujicolor QuickSnap, with the

Preservation of Raw Materials
Fujifilm Group's Product Creation
In the year 2003, the consumption of silver and gelatin inthe manufacturing process has decreased while usage ofaluminum increased, due to a sales increase in printingproducts.
Transition of Natural ResourcesConsumption
To utilize the limited resources effectively and with as little waste as possible, Fujifilm is making effortsto reduce consumption of our natural resources. We will also continue our research into possiblesubstitutions for depletable resources such as silver and aluminum.

� Consumption of the Key Materials
20-Year Reduction of Silver ConsumptionPhotographic films contain silver.Fujifilm makes determined efforts to conserve and recycledepletable resources such as silver. In the past 20 yearssilver content in color negatives has been reduced by morethan half*. In color paper is has been reduced down to athird*.Photographic films are made when silver nitrate andhalogen compound react in a gelatin solution. The qualityof photographs can be dramatically changed by thecomponent makeup of the film, such as: the type ofhalogen compound used; the mixing method, temperature,gelatin type of reaction solution and minute quantities ofadditives. By specifying these ratios appropriately, Fujifilmwill keep producing photo films of superior quality whilecontinuing to reduce the consumption of silver.
* Usage Per Unit Area
Container and Package DatabaseWith the Container and Package Database that startedoperating in 2002, keeping track of materials used by asingle product or a product group has become much easier.Thanks to this system, the existing tracking method isundergoing a revision that was started*1 in 2003. Fujifilmwill establish new objectives towards reducing the containerand package weights for marketed products, based on thenumbers we collect from the new tracking method. In 2003, we reduced the use of paper containers byswitching the packaging of color films from small paperboxes to plastic bags. Fujifilm's development divisions arealso conducting their own research on materialconservation. They are planning to develop a system totabulate data in the Container and Package Database in realtime. These activities and up to date information will help usto think of new reduction measures even faster than before.

Product Safety Management
Fujifilm Group's Product Creation
Since the enforcement of the Product Liability (PL) Law in1995, we have made numerous efforts to achieve productsafety. Through that process we established the BasicProduct Safety Policy priority targets (see below) andchanged the response structure from an individual-organization level to a whole-company one.
Priority Targets1. Complying with statutes and regulations for product
safety2. Promoting product safety measures at every stage of
a product's life-cycle: development, production,sales, use, servicing and disposal
3. Notifying the customers of safety information onproduct use and disposal
4. Maintaining the emergency response system5. Establishing and continuously building up the
approach to enhanced product safety6. Improving employee education and training on
product safety
Constituting the Basic Product SafetyPolicy
The Product Liability Committee was established in April1995 to formulate a company-wide policy on product safetymanagement and to discuss promotion activities.
Promotion SystemFujifilm Group trains each division on product safetyseparately. It conducts further training sessions for specificdivisions when internal product safety monitoring deems itis necessary. We also educate new employees andmanagers through introductory training designedspecifically for them. Through these activities, we aim topermeate our product safety approach throughout thecorporation and establish sustainable operations.
Product Safety Training
As the following diagram indicates, there are three productsafety systems at Fujifilm Group. Each system functions toassure product safety.
Product Safety System
At Fujifilm Group, we believe that it is our social duty to send safe products out into the world. That iswhy we implement safety measures at every stage (development, production, sales, use, servicing anddisposal) of every product.

MSDS*1 (Material Safety Data Sheet) is a means of providinginformation designed to prevent accidents caused bychemical products, and to maintain health, safety, andecology in handling chemical substances. Since July 1997, Fujifilm has been providing web site basedinformation (http://www.fujifilm.co.jp/msds) through MSDSsfor photography development chemicals. From 2004onward, the MSDS was fully revised as per the generationguidelines of JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) and theJapan Chemical Industry Association to improve readabilityand to enhance details. If any chemical substances referredto by the PRTR law (Pollutant Release and Transfer RegisterLaw) and/or the Industrial Safety and Health Law are used, itis noted accordingly.As of June 2004, over 1,000 MSDSs had been registered.The MSDSs are supplied by our marketing divisions tobusiness partners, such as equipment retailers and digitalminilabs in the form of printed materials and / or CD-ROMs.
MSDS and AIS
In view of chemical substance management and legal compliance, Fujifilm makes it a strict rule todistribute MSDS and AIS to the customers of its chemical products and materials. Also, in order toimprove the environmental quality of our products, Fujifilm promotes active use of environmentallabeling and full disclosure of information.
Digital CamerasFujifilm worked with Japan Environmental ManagementAssociation for Industry (JEMAI) at the early stage of theproject to create the Type III Eco-Label*4 in an effort tosupport standardization. In April 2003, the FinePix F410,featuring the new generation Super CCD HoneycomTM · HR ,was granted a Type III Eco-Label for the first time in theindustry. Since then, Fujifilm has obtained Type III Eco-Labelson its products every time JEMAI’s assessment conferencewas held. As of August 2004 we had a total of 12 differentmodels that had been granted labels which are listed on theweb.

Fujicolor QuickSnapIn September 2002, five models of Fujiicolor QuickSnapwere granted the Type III Eco-Label. In March 2003,Fujicolor QuickSnap Night & Day was given the label, and inMarch 2004, Fujicolor QuickSnap Extra Flash 27/39 wasapproved for the label.In 2001, this Eco Mark label was approved for FujicolorQuickSnap Super Eye 800 series, the first in single-usecameras whose plastic parts are made using recycledmaterials. The main reason for winning the Eco Mark isbecause over 40% recycled plastic was utilized in themanufacture of the disposable Fujicolor QuickSnap. Thisproduct is now considered to be environmentally friendly.
Fujifilm Instax Mini 10 PrinterThe Fujifilm Instax Mini Printer is a palm-size printer usingFujifilm Instax Mini 10 film, developed to accommodate theprinting of images immediately after taking them withcameras built into cell phones. Design for the environmentsuch as energy savings and size reduction was arequirement for development of this printer. It obtained theType III Eco-Label in March 2004 the first time for an instantphoto printer.
Fujifilm strives to achieve higher ”environmental quality” forall products. To have the concept of environmental qualityunderstood and communicated accurately to consumers,Fujif i lm promotes information disclosure usingenvironmental labeling*3

This sheet isto be distributed together with the product by the supplier to thebusiness distributing and / or using the product.
*2 AIS (Article Information Sheet): While products relating to developersare generally called non-article products, some products such as photofilm are called articles. The supplier provides an AIS that providesinformation required to handle an article safely. The informationincludes the product name, the manufacture’s name, safe handlingprocedures as well as environmental and safety information includingpossible danger and hazards. This information and the product areboth given to all handling operators.

*3 Environmental labeling: Environmental labeling accuratelycommunicates to consumers the environmental information about aproduct along with packaging labels, technical reports andadvertisements for a products. ISO (International StandardsOrganization) defines three different types of standards forenvironmental labeling.
Type I: Third-party certification (ISO14024)A third-party certification organization defines product classificationand evaluation criteria, and provides certification. In Japan, Eco Markis a third-party certification where an outside organization performsproduct examination at the request of business applicants. Theirpermission must be granted to use the mark since it may only beattached to certified products. The idea is that this process supportsthe product choice of consumers from the standpoint ofenvironmental conservation.
Type II: Self-declaration (ISO14021)A company gains public recognition by making consumers aware ofthe environmental quality of its products. Judgment by a third-party isnot required.
Type III: Environmental information disclosure (ISO TR14025)A company indicates the environmental impact of a product in theform of quantitative data in accordance with the life cycle assessment(LCA) method. This information is made public on the Internet, whichwill helps consumers to promote the Green Procurement Program. Italso motivates participating businesses to decrease theirenvironmental impact since they will have a correct understanding ofthe quantitative data provided by the LCA.
*4 Type III Eco-Label falls under the Type III category.
Glossary
In April 2003, Fujifilm enacted rules for filing an ArticleInformation Sheet (AIS*2) which describes the safetyinformation for an article product. Each marketing divisionprovides customers with an AIS for article product such astangible product film and photographic paper that do notrequire an MSDS. In 2004, environmental and safetyinformation about material products such as printing platematerials and medical products were listed on the web site.In the future, an increased number of product informationdisclosures will be available. AIS was created through theAIS Generation Program, and is jointly maintained andcontrolled by each of Fujifilm Group companies overseas.Currently, there are over 50 AISs with Japanese, Europeanand American versions.

A package service for digital camera includes Pick-up ➝ Shipping &
Handling ➝ Repair ➝ Delivery. The price is 900 yen per unit. We
receive repair applications via telephone, FAX or the Internet. Repairs
are completed within three days.
*3 Response to Inquiries And Complaints
Most of the complaints are because customers misunderstand how
to use the product or used it incorrectly. For example, the most
typical misunderstanding is a complaint that Fujicolor QuickSnap’s
indicator shows 0 although only a few shots have been taken. The
film from the returned Fujicolor QuickSnap is developed and it
turned out all the film had been used. An investigation report, along
with developed film and prints are returned to the customer.
*4 Introduction of HP Navigation SystemsFujifilm’s website information database has become so enormousthat it causes customer inconveniences since target areas are notreadily accessible. To deal with this situation we introduced the HPnavigation systems in April 2004 for the first time in a Japanesebusiness. It has enabled customers to search information quickly,which has significantly raised the rate at which solutions are foundon the website.
*5 Continued Upgrades Are Underway on New QuickSearch Systems.New QuickSearch system is the database of the Fujifilm products thatincludes technical information, service data, and sales information. Itis a helpful tool to respond quickly to customer inquiries.
• We also strive to obtain qualified consumer advisors who arecertified by Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry. Thereare some 50 qualified advisors in the company who constantlyendeavor to improve our customer-oriented activities.

Communication with Business Partners
In April 2004, Fujifilm’s sales planning division wasrestructured so that the printing business-related marketingdivisions became a market-oriented organization ratherthan being product-oriented. Before restructuring, therewere different marketing divisions in charge of the variousproducts required for a color print, depending on outputdevices. After reorganization, Fujifilm now provides a one-step procedure that simplified the system for retailers andcustomers.
New Structure of the Sales Planning Divisionto Give More Benefits to Customers
Fujifilm’ s sales planning division and sales division work together to pursue various projects to helpcustomers take “memorable” photos. The project is outside normal sales promotion activities and plays acore function in determining customer and shop needs, which will be presented to the technical division.
The marketing group, besides routine tasks such as thecreation of sales tools and presentation planning for entryto photo related events, makes efforts to enhance supportfor the shops which purchased their equipment. They alsocreate and implement numerous projects in whichcustomers discover the value of ”memorable photos”.
Fujifilm call center is the core organization for digital minilabsupport service which provides solid assistance for Frontier,a film development and printing device.Dedicated technical support staff respond to inquiries fromthe digital minilab 365 days of the year. Over 90% of thephone calls are received and the problem resolution ratio ofthe them is always over 75%. In addition to the Fujifilm callcenter which provides telephone support, we haveimproved support service for digital minilabs such as theFrontier pre-maintenance program to prevent machinemalfunctions by periodic inspections and a web-utilizedFujifilm Partner Net System (a system that links infrastructuresof Fujicolor netprintservice and supportservice).

Usability Conference
At usability conferences we try to understand why a user had difficulties operating a product and then use that information tomake changes that will improve the overall function of product and ease of its use. Also, one of the important features of thisusability conference is the premise that the conference is held for the purpose of finding practical solutions to problems, not justfor collecting information
1. Recruitment of Test Users • Preparationsfor the Usability Conferences
We recruit 6-10 test users depending on the product to be evaluated.The most typical test user is a person who has never used a product suchas a digital camera before. In some cases, the condition maybenarrowed down to “foreign” or “elderly”. In case of medicalequipment, they maybe “doctor”, “nurse”, or “radiology technician”.Depending on the subject for evaluation, an effective approach isselected each time. In the steps of preparation, evaluation categories arenarrowed down as needed. Eventually, a number of findings that areunexpected turn out to be valuable ideas for development.
2. Implementation of the ConferenceEach test user will spend about two hours on the assignment. Theassignment is simple, since it is new to the test user and he/shenormally struggles along through the assignment. An observer and acamera operator stay in an adjoining room to the test user whoworks on the assignment alone. The method of operation and thecomments from the test user are monitored by and recorded by theobservers and the camera operator.
3. InterviewAfter the assignment is over, the observer asks questions about anyincorrect operation and the points of concern they have. For example,after a question like“ Why did you pushthe button at that point in time? Isfollowed by one such as “What would youhave done if you had not pushed thebutton then?” In this way, reasons for thewrong operation and suggestions by thetest user are sought.
4. Analysis and ImprovementsAnalysis is made from all possible angles in an effort to gathervaluable information obtained from the conference for futuredevelopment. Based on the analysis results, discussions are held forimprovements that are to be used in product development promptly.
Six to ten people in a separate room, the person evaluating theactivity along with the development team members (planning, projectand design) observe and record the way the test user responds togiven assignments.

� Analysis of the Results of Assignment AchievementThis is an assignment achievement analysis graph of the time consumed for eachprocess by eight test users. It shows that the wrong action was made ➄ dateresetting by nearly everyone and ➅ about half for 8 made mistakes in switchingflashes.
� A digital camera assignmentThe test user is given a new unopened product and a digitalcamera assignment. The test user look at the manual and followsa series of assignments shown as below.
➀ Please shoot.➁ Please switch to sensitivity XX and shoot.➂ Please return to the normal sensitivity and shoot with flash.➃ Please confirm the images shot.➄ Please delete the third image.➅ Please put in the date.➆ Please terminate shooting.➇ Please take the medium out and put it in the case.
Given the instruction “please conduct the date-setting,” the test user setthe date, and pushed the arrow key down since they wanted to move tothe second tier setting. However the action only changed the datefrom29 to 30, and prevented them from moving ahead.
Before To move down the arrow key had to be pushed in theright direction.
After To give a image associated with “Move to right andthen down,” the line indicating “right ➝ down” wasdisplayed on the screen.
When asked to make a “White balance change”, the test user checked
the operation manual. In the table of contents “White balance” was
found and operated as per the instructions; however, the setting screen
did not appear.
Before The camera’s shooting mode had to be switched fromAuto to Manual mode for the white balance settingmode to appear.
After In the page for “white balance” of the operationmanual, a description such as “please refer to thepage on manual setting when settings are made”.

In Pursuit of User-Friendly Design
Communication on Products
The Fujifilm universal design and usability promotion teamemploys the action cycle of “listen to users, observe,analyze, and adopt“. As part of this action cycle, usabilityconferences have been held since 2001.
Fujifilm Universal Design and UsabilityPromotion Team
The Design Center started its barrier-free activity in 1998.Various in-house enlightenment activities such as listing allkinds of information on barrier-free connections on thecompany website or assignment of a consultation officecontacts for inquiries. These activities are continuing underthe usability evaluation activity.
In-House Enlightenment Activity
At the Design Center responsible of design for Fujifilm products, the usability evaluation is promoted foruser-friendly design. Since 2001, usability conferences have been held to offer suggestions to the salesplanning divisions and development divisions, and for in-house promotion.

Current and Future ActivityIn the future ,this activity will be strengthened around the“universal design and usability promotion team“ thatstarted in 2003. Some of the ongoing activities include thecreation of guidelines for the development of products suchas digital cameras and photo print reception machines, andthe recompilation of the points of concern for those whoare colorblind or have weak color vision. This will lead to theredevelopment of our database so that the developer canmake more practical use of it.
What is A Usability Conference?Unlike normal claim response or monitor surveys, it starts byobserving the thoughts of users. Evaluation conferences areheld before, during, and after the development of a newproduct or when a new feature is being added to a product.Fujifilm studies products made by other companies as well.Through these evaluation conferences, we make efforts tolisten to issues which do not always reach our lines ofcommunication. The issues that users experienced thatcaused inconveniences resulting in their attributing theproduct’s poor usability to the fact that that they had notread the manual. They resolved problems of struggling withthe product’s operation by asking others.The usability evaluation activity is to discover these unheardissues and resolve them one by one so that they arereflected in the development of new products. (Please referto the page on the right). As for products’ environmental considerations, go to P33 – 37.

Business Activities and Environmental Impacts
Fujifilm Group has taken environmental measures such as fuel conversion from heavy oil to natural gasto strengthen our environmental management system and to reduce greenhouse gases as part of ourgreen policy.
Environmental Measures in Business Activities
The following diagram shows the total quantity of naturalresources used by the entire Fujifilm Group, and the amountof industrial waste that was discharged in each phase of theR&D, production and shipment activities in 2003.* The data show the amount of packing and container materials for our six
domestic workplaces.
PET (Polyethylene terephtalate): This is well known as material used for PETbottles that is also used as the substrate for X-ray film.
TAC (Triacetylcellulose): This material is used as substrate for general pho-tographic film and cinema film.
PM (Particulate Matter): This material consists of particles that are less-than-ten-micrometers. Some particulate materials that are suspended inthe air are often referred to as SPM (suspended particulate matter). The fluegas from a factory and diesel exhaust particulates, in addition to suspendedparticulate matters such as the smoke of a volcano that exists in the naturalworld, are the main sources of the outbreak of particulate materials. It ispointed out that diesel exhaust and suspended particulate material mayalso contain carcinogenic components.

Fujifilm Imaging Systems (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. reduced theconsumption of batteries in a production process at its factory by changingpart of its power source from DC to AC. It is reusing solder debris, savingelectricity and economizing on industrial water consumption at the factoryfor environmental conservation. It is also taking various otherenvironmental measures with its products in close cooperation with itsDevelopment Department.
New Line of Instant Camera, Fujifilm Instax Mini 10Copes with RoHS.Fujifilm will follow Restriction of Use of Certain Hazardous Substances inElectrical and Electronic Equipment in its production of Fujifilm Instax Mini10 and its new products in the latter half of 2004. For example, they willemploy lead-free solder packed substrates and introduce cadmium-freerivets. They will, therefore, not contain the usual six chemical substances oflead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium or polydiphenyl etherbromide in adhering to the new policy change that came into effect afterEuropean Unity. The European RoHS directive restricts of the use of certainhaszardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
A vinyl chloride-free and cadmium-freeprocess was made in a lead wire pre-soldering process.

Actual Reduction in Atmospheric Emissions ofVolatile Organic Compounds
Fujifilm had a 2002 goal to reduce VOC atmosphericemissions from its manufacturing processes by 50% overthat of 1996. We actually surpassed that goal to achieveabout a 58% reduction. Since then Fujifilm has beenpromoting various measures to reach the goal in 2004 ofreducing VOC emissions by 50% over the 2000 levelsestablished in Fujifilm Group Green Policy. As a result, wehad reduced VOC emissions by 56% already in 2003, oneyear ahead of the target year.
PCB Storage and Control Status
PCBs were used in the coupler solvent oil for the productionof a conventional pressure sensitive paper (carbonlesspaper). Fujifilm used PCBs at one point but their use waseliminated by switching over to non-PCB pressure sensitivepaper in 1971. However, the PCB-contaminated sludge10,400m3 (calculated PCB content of about 1.5 ton)produced during the production of conventional pressure-sensitive paper is stored and controlled at the Fujinomiyafactory.
Securing the Appropriate Processing SystemThe national and prefectural governments have establishedplans regarding the processing of PCBs based on the “lawsregarding special measures promoting appropriateprocessing of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)” establishedin 2001. Fujifilm will strive to secure an appropriate PCBprocessing system such as the development of processingfacilities. Fujifilm strictly controls stored PCBs and plans todispose of PCB waste as soon as an appropriate processingmethod is determined.
Substances to Be ReducedSubstances to be reduced include VOC, that we arerequired by PRTR LAW* (Pollutant Release and TransferRegister Law) to report, as well as 10 other substances thatFujifilm is controlling on its own.
Reduction of VOC during the ManufacturingProcessesFujifilm mainly promotes the following two measures toachieve their VOC reduction goals during themanufacturing processes.
Reduction of Volatile Organic CompoundAtmospheric Emissions
1. Reduction of usage (process change) by collaborationbetween the research and the manufacturing divisions· Switching organic solvents to aquatic solvents· Changing the process to reduce the use of organic solvents· Maintenance of product quality and evaluation of manufacturing
fitness
2. Reduction of atmospheric emissions (by alteringfacilities)· Incorporation of optimal facilities to match the organic solvents and
the process conditions used· Recovering and reusing organic solvents that are mixed in the
exhausts emitted during the manufacturing processes· Incinerating the exhausts to be used as a heat source· Break down the organic solvents into water and carbon dioxide with
regenerative combustion equipment
Controlling PCB
Fujifilm has been conducting activities to reduce VOC atmospheric emissions from its manufacturingprocesses. As a result, in 2003 we achieved approximately a 56% reduction in VOC atmosphericemissions over 2000 levels, surpassing our goal by far. Also we are strictly controlling the storage andmanagement of highly poisonous PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).

Aiming at Total Greenhouse Gas (GHG) EmissionsReduction Goal of Over 9%
Fujifilm is aiming to reduce its total greenhouse gas emissionson a non-consolidated basis by 9% by fiscal 2010, comparedwith fiscal 1990. We are promoting energy conservation andGHG reduction measures such as the adoption of energyconserving facilities, as well as streamlining and revamping ourmanufacturing methods. Also, since we have determined thatfuel conversion from heavy oil to natural gas is the mosteffective measure for reducing total GHG emissions, we havebeen actively promoting the changeover. In fiscal 2003, wecarried out fuel conversion at three workplaces, increasing theuse of natural gas to 14% of the total energy consumption.This resulted in a 4.5% decrease (over the previous year to813,000 t-CO2) total GHG emissions for our six workplaces,even though GHG emissions had been on the increase for thepast few years.However, due to the expansion of our flat panel displaybusiness and an increase in manufacturing volume, the totalGHG emissions in fiscal 2003 by the entire Fujifilm Groupincreased by 1.6% compared with the previous year.We will continue to promote fuel conversion to natural gas,and, at the same time, seek to develop further emissionreduction measures.
From Heavy Oil to Natural Gas
Since natural gas has the least greenhouse gas emissionsper unit calorific value, as long as the energy consumptionremains the same, we can greatly reduce GHG emissions byconverting from heavy oil to natural gas. Fuel conversionrequires a large amount of expense and time, since we needto build a new large-scale facility, but Fujifilm is committedto making an extensive capital investment toward theaccomplishment of our long-term GHG reduction goal.Since fiscal 2003, we have adopted natural gas at threeplants. The Odawara Factory went through a completeconversion when the new utility complex (a cogenerationfacility) was completed. The Ashigara Factory converted itsexhaust heat boiler fuel and the Asaka Workplace convertedits steam boiler fuel to natural gas.The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry recognized theefficiency of our plan and gave us a grant for the“Promotion of Natural Gas Conversion for Large-ScaleEnergy Consuming Facilities.” Fujifilm and our groupcorporations will promote fuel conversion to natural gas.
Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emission
Fujifilm regards the preservation of clean water and air asthe foundation of environmental conservation. We payattention to water usage in our manufacturing operationsand pursue reduction measures at each of our workplaces.Fujifilm reduced both water usage and the amount ofwastewater discharged compared to the previous year,fiscal 2003. In the mean time, water usage and wastewaterdischarge are on an increase for the entire Fujifilm Group asthe business expands.
Reduction of Water Usage
Altogether, Fujifilm and seven major Fuji Xerox workplaces emit a littleless than 90% of the total GHG emissions by Fujifilm Group companies.The companies joined the “2003 Greenhouse Gas Trial TradingBusiness” hosted by the Ministry of Environment.As a result, we could obtain valuable information pertaining to accurateand comprehensive GHG calculations, and virtual trading. FujifilmGroup is currently contemplating emission management and our intra-group trading system based on the information gained.

Our Efforts at Ashigara Factory
Commencing Fuel Conversion to AchieveGreenhouse GasEmission ReductionsThe Ashigara Factory in KanagawaPrefecture is producing a variety ofproducts, including colorphotographic film, photographicpaper, Fujicolor QuickSnap,photographic supplies (such asmovie film, and graphic arts film),and LCD materials (such asFUJITAC).This factory has been operating acogeneration facility to efficientlygenerate steam and electricity,but in April 2004, we convertedits gas turbine generation facilityfuel from heavy oil to natural gas. In doing so, we can expectto reduce GHG emissions from our private power generationfacility by about 30,000 tons annually. Ashigara Plant reducedGHG emissions from the previous year by 5% in fiscal 2003using energy conservation measures other than thecogeneration facility. Although the natural gas usage ratio atthe Ashigara Factory is about 1/3 of the total energy usage,we plan to increase it to 100% by fiscal 2010.
Efforts at Fujinomiya Factory
The Shimizu River, thewater source for theregional communities,runs through theFujinomiya Factory site inShizuoka Prefecture,making monitoring ofwater usage at thefactory especiallyimportant. SinceFujinomiya City is also amanufacturing region forpaper, there is a waterusage restriction for both aboveground and underground water.Whenever there is a drought or a lowering of the undergroundwater level, water usage suspension is ordered.The Fujinomiya Factory conducted a long-term survey of thecorrelation between rainfall and underground water level for waterconservation/usage management in 2003. They also developedunderground water level prediction software based on the surveyresults, and they actively promoted a water conservation campaignto reduce their monthly water usage by 5,000 tons.
GHG Reduction Efforts at Odawara Factory
We Have Constructed a New UtilityComplex in Order to Reduce GreenhouseGas Emissions.The Odawara Factory inKanagawa Prefecturemanufactures a variety ofproducts, includingrecording media (such asmagnetic tapes), as well asWV (Wide View) film forLCDs. Large amounts ofsteam and electricity arerequired for manufacturingthese products. Until wemade this conversion, wewere purchasing electricityfrom outside sources, andgenerated steam with a boiler fueled with heavy oil.In fiscal 2003, we incorporated a Thermal/Electric Variable CogenerationSystem, which uses the high temperature exhaust from a regenerativeexhaust processing facility to make power generation more efficient,reduce GHG emissions, and conserve energy. In doing so, we havecompletely converted to natural gas, reducing the impact on theenvironment. The New Energy and Industrial Technology DevelopmentOrganization (NEDO) provided us with a grant for Efficient EnergyUsage, which helped to defray the costs of fuel conversion.Furthermore, we have installed small multi-cylinder through-flow boilerinstead of a conventional large boiler for steam generation, and at thesame time attached an exhaust heat boiler to the regenerative exhaustgas processing facility to achieve better energy efficiency.
* With this cutting edge system (the world’s first), we not only recover the highexhaust heat from the volatile organic compound (VOC) processing facility assteam, but also utilize it to reheat gas turbine injection steam to gain very highpower generation efficiency.

Since Fuji Xerox joined Fujifilm Group, Fujifilm combinedsubsidiaries in both organizations to establish FujifilmLogistics Co., Ltd. in April 2003. While Fujifilm Logistics Co.,Ltd. subcontracts out all distribution work; it will continueto actively conduct on-going monitoring of CO2 reductionmeasures as a key issue in its environmental considerationfor its distribution subsidiaries.The total CO2 emissions after Fuji Xerox joined the FujifilmGroup is shown in the graph on the right. Through the keyCO2 reduction measures, such as modal shifts, we managedto maintain a CO2 reduction rate of 1.6%. We will continueto strengthen these environmental measures in all areas oflogistics throughout the Fujifilm Group.
� CO2 Reduction Effort· Reducing the frequency of distribution· Improving the loading efficiency (double-layering,
multiple piles)· Modal shift*· Reducing the number of trucks by intensive destinations· Readjusting distribution route· Incorporation of large trucks (deregulated vehicles)· Alternative distribution methods (from privately owned
trucks to fixed route trucks, etc.)· Incorporation of low environmental impact vehicles
(compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles)
Since Fuji Xerox joined Fujifilm Group, we have unified the distribution subsidiaries in both organizations toestablish Fujifilm Logistics Co., Ltd., to conduct environmental tracking in the area of logistics. We willcontinue to reevaluate shipping efficiency and reduce environmental impacts associated with packingmaterials.

The Yoshida Office of Fujifilm Logistics Co., Ltd.delivers products by FUJIFILM Graphic Systems Co.,Ltd., a sales subsidiary of printing products, to a totalof 16 locations that include 15 distribution centers andone agent. In fiscal 2003, the two companiescollaborated together to incorporate “modal shifts” forthe cities of Sendai and Kyoto. In addition truck-basedtransportation had already been replaced by container-based transportation in the cities of Sapporo, Aomori,Hiroshima, and Fukuoka.The challenge in using modal shift is realizing container-based transportation and maintaining the existing levelof service while reducing expenses. Upon the
incorporation of modal shifts, we had results of a 56%CO2 emission reduction (82.5 tons/year), and a 15%reduction in distribution expenses. The two companieswill continue toexpand the “modalshift” to the rest oftheir destinations.
* Modal Shift: Changing the mode of traffic and transportation. Itespecially pertains to shifting distribution of cargo by trucks to thatby railroads and ships.

Folding type
Since the packaging material for the LCD and X-ray film bulk rolls used to be from wood or paper-based material, they were discarded on arrival without reuse. By changing the packaging material to a steel case, we made their reuse possible. Once the life of the packaging material is complete, it is recycled as a metal resource.
The roll cores of the film bulk roll for X-ray and graphic arts that is shipped to overseas factories are stored in cardboard boxes and returned to the Packing Center to be reused at the domestic factory. Originally, cardboard boxes were turned into recycled paper. However, we started returning them in the empty space of the containers for exporting raw materials to return to overseas factories so that we can repeat their usage.
Increasing the efficiency by improving the loading method
We incorporated the use of high-cube containers* when recovering shipping pallets for the color photographic paper bulk rolls from US factories. In addition we improved the loading method to achieve a 46% increase in the load size per container. We not only reduced the number of containers shipped, but also contributed in making domestic shipments more efficient while reducing CO2 emissions.

� Recycling and Reusing the Packaging Materials forExports
Fujifilm Logistics Co., Ltd. procures packing materials anddesigns packages so that products, raw materials, anddevices are shipped in an environmentally friendly way.Fujifilm Logistics Co., Ltd. conducts a more streamlinedpacking system as well as using fewer materials through the4Rs of environmental consideration: (1) Make packingmaterials recyclable (recycle); (2) Use the same packingmaterials repeatedly (reuse); (3) Reduce the amount ofpackage material (reduce); (4) Switch to materials with lessenvironmental impact (remake).As a part of these efforts, we have reduced the exportproduct packing materials for the Wide View (WV) film forLCD-film manufactured in Southeast Asia. Previously alarger amount of packing materials were used. The diagrambelow shows the much higher result change we achieved(8.9% higher reduction beyond our goal).We wil l continue to reduce packing materials andassociated environmental impacts from the viewpoint of the4Rs.

Prevention of Atmosphere, Soil and Water Pollution
Environmental Measures in Business Activities
In order to decrease chemical substance emissions, Fujifilmhas standards which are stricter than legal requirements andwe perform stringent chemical substance control. We alsoconduct surveys of chemical substance concentrations in theair around the factory using parameters designated by thePRTR law.Furthermore, we periodically monitor underground watersupplies to determine the pollution status of the soil andunderground water aquifers.
Fiscal 1995 We converted boiler fuel at the Odawara factory from bunker to bunker with less sulfur. Sulfur emissions were reduced. We installed a high efficiency dust collector on the smokestack as a measure to contain soot particles at the Ashigara factory.Fiscal 1998 We installed a wet-type electrical dust collector to the exhaust gas desulfurizer system at the Fujinomiya factory. SOx emissions were reduced.Fiscal 2000 Incineration of used solvent was abolished at the Odawara factory. SOx emission was subsequently reduced.Fiscal 2002 We converted to natural gas for CO2 and SOx emission reduction at the Fujinomiya factory.Fiscal 2003 We converted to natural gas for CO2 and SOx emission reduction at the Odawara factory.Fiscal 2004 We converted to natural gas at for CO2 and SOx emission reduction at the Ashigara factory.Fiscal 2004 We adopted low NOx burners for the boiler at the Yoshida-Minami factory.

Conducting Environmental Monitoring
Each Fujifilm workplace is successfully conducting numerousmeasures for atmospheric pollution reductions such asthose resulting from fuel conversion to natural gas thatcontains very little sulfur. The recent measures taken andfuture plans are as follows.
Atmospheric Emission Reduction Measuresof Pollutants at Factories
Fujifilm conducts environmental surveys at each of theworkplaces regarding the emission of water pollutantsregulated by law, and strives to reduce the pollutants byestablishing voluntary control standards. As a measure forwastewater emission control beyond the amount requiredin regulation, each workplace has an emergency auxiliary pitinstalled to check overflow if needed.
Chemical Substance Emission Reductionfor the Water System
Fujifilm has stricter standards than required by regulations in their attempt to decrease chemical substance emissions intothe atmosphere, soil and water. In addition they exercise stringent control of chemical substances and perform thoroughenvironmental monitoring. We also conduct monitoring for chemical substance concentrations in the air, as well as forunderground water quality around the factory. We monitor substances designated by the PRTR law, as well as work toreduce emissions of those substances.

FUJIFILM Sustainability Report 200468
For the realization of a sustainable society, Fujifilm has beenapplying procedures with a goal of “recycling all wastematerials and totally eliminating waste incineration or theuse of landfills”, pertaining not only to industrial waste, butalso to general waste including company cafeteria foodwastes. Consequently, all of Fujifilm’s manufacturingworkplaces attained zero emissions in fiscal 2001, as did ourHeadquarters, branches and sales offices in fiscal 2002. Alldomestic group corporations have been conductingappropriate measures to attain zero emissions by the end offiscal 2003. Although, some of the workplaces could notattain the goal because municipal regulations requiredincineration, most of our workplaces attained the goal. Weshall try to realize more efficient recycling in the future.
Our Approach to Zero Emission
Fujifilm promotes zero emissions (*) towards the realization of sustainable society, including the recycling ofall the company’s waste materials. Furthermore, we are steadily advancing measures to reduce wasteproduction while maintaining the current level for waste material production as we seek ways to makeimprovements.

� Transition in Waste Generation
* Zero Emissions: Operations aim for zero waste materials by utilizingwaste materials to make raw materials and for energy efficiency towardthe realization of sustainable resources for society. Its definition maydiffer depending on the organization. Fujifilm defines it as recycling allwaste materials generated through business operations and eliminatingsimple waste incineration or landfill use.
Glossary
Collaboration with Waste Processing Contractors
The Waste Disposal Law requires that the companiesgenerating waste materials must accurately monitor howwaste materials are processed by contractors. Until recently,each workplace at Fujifilm had been monitoring wasteprocessing contractors independently. We are now startingto construct and operate a monitoring and evaluationsystem that will be a policy throughout the company. Thisnew company policy has the following characteristics.
Construction of the Companywide Monitoring andEvaluation System for Waste Processing Contractors
]
Activities Pertaining to Waste Emission
Environmental Measures in Business Activities
1. Since we will use unified evaluation items and standards, we willshare the evaluation results throughout the system. The fairness ofthis evaluation will be assured by having headquarters staffmembers present for their input.
2. When one contractor handles waste disposal from multipleworkplaces, we can make the monitoring task efficient by havingrepresentatives from one workplace present.
3. This makes it possible to make a database of the evaluation resultsto be referenced and utilized by each of the workplaces.
Although each of our workplaces has been working to reducewaste generation, due to the increased manufacturing of someproducts as well as the expansion in our business, we could notmanage to decrease the increasing trends in waste generation byFujifilm and Fujifilm Group as a whole in fiscal 2003. We shallrectify our measures to eliminate elements that caused the increase.
Fujifilm can utilize this system to share its evaluations alongwith specific improvement requests, as needed with thewaste processing contractors. Thus we can aim to elevatethe level of waste management and at the same time fulfillcorporate social responsibility. We plan to integrate anddeploy our evaluation standard and system with our affiliatecompanies.
Approach for Zero Emission
Collecting Silver and Plastic FilmThe Ashigara Factory and Fujinomiya Factory,where color films, graphic arts films, and X-rayfilms are produced, have the recycling contractorcollect the debris of photographic filmsgenerated in the process, and recycle them to bereused. These photographic films are separatedinto the raw materials, silver and plastic film*,through a special process and then reclaimedand refined to be used in the manufacturingprocess again.
Separating and Collecting Materials from DigitalMinilab DevicesWhen the product life of digital minilab devices has expired, theyare collected and sent to processing contractor to be separated andsorted into iron, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, general resin,vinyl chloride, circuit boards and wiring materials. Specializedcontractors then collect the metal parts to reclaim them to bereused for metal materials.General resins are transported to an iron refinery to be used as cokesubstitutes to refine iron ore. Use of general resin as a fuel reducesCO2 emission by 30% compared with standard coke. Vinyl chlorideis transported to special recycling contractor then crushed to makepellets to be reconstructed into vinyl pipes. They are used for raindrainage pipes for playgrounds and for sewage pipes. Specializedrecycling contractors collect used circuit boards to extract raremetals such as gold and palladium from the IC circuits also.
Composting Food Wastefrom CafeteriasFuji Photo Equipment Co., Ltd.collaborated with Fujifilm Cooperativeto process food waste at theircafeteria with a garbage processingunit to make bio-compost. Theyprocess approximately 6 tons of foodresidue per year. Most of theprocessed compost is distributed tothe regional NGOs and residents forfree, and the rest is used for vegetativeenhancement within the plant site.Similar activities take pace in manyother Fujifilm Group workplaces.

Environmental Communication Meeting inMinamiashigara
The Kanagawa Prefecture and Fujifilm cosponsored an“Environmental Communication Meeting in Minamiashigara”in November 2003, where local residents, the government,and the corporations had a chance to participate in a factorytour, a seminar and a workshop in which opinions wereexchanged. The purpose of this meeting was to improve theregional environment, and to enable the participants tocommunicate and share information with each other. Therewere 70 participants in the factory tour and 130 in theseminar and the workshop most of whom were generalapplicants. Professor Masaru Kitano of the ShukutokuUniversity’s Department of Communications facilitated theworkshop, in which the participants engaged in an activedialog consisting of candid requests and comments as well asquestions. (Some of the comments were that the emissionsof chemical substances should be brought down as close tozero as possible and that the accumulation of the dischargedchemical substances over the years is worrisome. What ishappening with the contingency plan that includes the localresidents and why are exhaust fumes collected andincinerated separately were among the questions asked.)These issues were presented at this workshop, and Fujifilmrepresentatives thoroughly responded to each of them. Whilethe participants had the chance to gain an understanding ofFujifilm’s environmental activities, the company was able todiscover the needs and concerns of local residents makingthis workshop very meaningful. After this meeting, Fujifilmrealized how much participants desired this sort ofopportunity. For that reason, we wil l hold another“Environmental Communication Meeting” at the FujinomiyaFactory in October 2004. Although few corporations todayplan and implement such meetings, we at Fujif i lmacknowledge we are still at a trial-and-error stage, but weare actively planning future eventsthroughout our service regions. Theconcerns discussed at these occasionswill be considered in Fujifilm’s futureenvironmental activities.

1. Building Forests for the Future
Fiscal year 2003 marks the 20th anniversary of Fujifilm Green Fund (FGF).Twenty years ago was Fujifilm’s 50th anniversary of its foundation. Back then, we were looking for a way tocontribute to society in a new way. As a conclusion of our search, we decided to put our monetary resources insomething meaningful, by securing a 1 billion yen fund for conservation and restoration of the naturalenvironment. Thus FGF was founded in 1983. It was the first public trust sponsored by a non-governmententerprise in Japan which has the theme of nature conservation.In the past 20 years, FGF supported many worthy causes. FGF intends to continue to fund various conservationprojects including “Building Forests for the Future.”
Fujifilm Greenery Fund
Responsibility as a Corporate Citizen
Four Project Areas by FGF
In order to make the best use of its fund, FGF receives inputfrom its supporters in terms of its operation andadministration. In the past 20 years up until fiscal 2003, thetotal amount of funds given away amounted toapproximately 630 million yen.Currently we are supporting the following four project areasdomestically in Japan.
How FGF Is Run
FGF funds activities aimed at forest restoration in suburbangreen spaces so that residents can enjoy nature. FGF hassupported those activities over a long term and has seengreat success.
The phase I fund was given to the “Maioka Water and GreeneryAssociation.” This is a citizens group at Totsuka Ward, Yokohama City. Theproject is now nicknamed “YatohitoMirai.” They completed and openedMaioka Park (right) in 1993. Thephase II fund was given to the“Torai School.” This is a local youthorganization at Hinohara Village,Tokyo Prefecture. They opened Fujino Mori forest to the public in 1990.
3. Nature Appreciation Activities FundingFGF supplies grants for activities by individuals and groupsthat try to nurture and conserve vegetation in an effort tocreate opportunities for other people to enjoy plants andanimals.
4. Grants for Green Conservation andUtilization Researches
FGF supplies grants for activities by individuals and groupsthat conduct practical research to conserve and appreciatethe natural environment, as well as research to improvethe plant communities in green spaces.
2. Support Activities for Greenery Projects
FGF conducts various activities to help people understandthe scope of their projects including photo exhibits andsymposiums. For example, the annual “nature trailobservation” contest that wasstarted in 1984 has been greatlyaccepted by students of all ages.
In this contest, students present natureobservations through pictures and essays.Many teachers have told us that they usethis contest as a part of children’s summervacation homework projects. The picture onthe right shows one of the award winning“observation” projects in the 2003 seniorhigh school division.

Activities at Odawara FactoryThe Odawara factory was established in the area overlooking Hakone and Tanzawa mountain ranges in 1938. It isFujifilm’s second oldest factory, after the Ashigara factory. The Odawara factory has attained the fourth level non-disaster record (no disastrous accident for 22 million hours, and no disaster-related shutdown for over 10 years, in May2003). It also received an excellent safety and hygiene workplace award from the Minister of Health, Labor andWelfare in July, 2003.
Labor Safety DiagnosisThe Odawara factory conducted a third party labor safetydiagnosis towards prevention of labor accidents, with the factoryrepresentative present. Japan Industrial Safety and HealthAssociation (JISHA) safety advisor Youichi Nakano thoroughlyexamined the factory and made suggestions for improvements, aswell made comments on things he noticed. Companyrepresentatives promptly implemented improvement measuresbased on Mr. Nakano’s suggestions.
Quit Smoking ClassesFujifilm promoted a non-smoking campaign by holding classes tohelp employees stop smoking in fiscal 2003. Participants worenicotine patches for eight weeks in attempt to quit smoking. Bothfamily members and colleagues helped the participants keep theirsmoking in check. Non-smoking awards were given to theparticipants that refrained from smoking for one year.
Mental Health CareA clinical psychotherapy counselor is stationed at the Odawarafactory once a week for six hours to give counseling. Many peoplehave taken advantage of this service. Also, in order to deepen theunderstanding of the mental health care, we held a mental healthseminar for management-level personnel in 2001. Since thisseminar was very popular, it was extended to the project leadersin 2002 and to general employees and employees in all threeshifts. About 30% of the employees at the Odawara factory haveattended this seminar.
Fitness 21Since 1997, we have been holding health and fitness seminarsthree times a year (with about 10 participants per seminar) foremployees with a BMI (body mass index) over 20%. Since morethan 50% of them were found to be overweight, we have beenholding Fitness 21 since 2002, as our second attempt at fitnessmanagement, for the people having morethan two life-style illness criteria “obesity,blood pressure, body fat and sugarmetabolism,” to receive individualguidance by in-house doctors anddieticians. Participants are given healthy
low-calorie, low-salt lunches to help them learn to manage theirown diet. They are also instructed to dostretches and walking. Participantsreceive a physical checkup three monthsand six months after the seminar andfurther consultation by the industrialphysician and dietician.

� Opinions on Sustainability Report 2003 and Reflecting Them in Sustainability Report 2004 As we compiled the Sustainability Report 2004, Fujifilm worked to reflect opinions on the 2003 report and to apply suggestions for the 2004 report that we
collected at the Sustainability Report Readers Opinion Meeting.
FUJIFILM Sustainability Report 200488
At the Q&A session, we received challenging butstraightforward comments such as: “Even though I’ve heardthat the Fujifilm’s recycle ratio is 100%, I can hardly believethat there is absolutely no waste being produced,” and “Whyaren’t there any countermeasures for NOx waste when it isincreasing every year?” Fujifilm would like to address theseopinions in our future environmental activities.Detailed information on the Sustainability Report ReadersOpinion Meeting and its progress, the Q&A session and otherevents is posted on the Fujifilm website, as well as the“Kankyo-goo” website. Please review these sites in additionto this report:

Kimiko Terada,Corporate Sales Group of Tokyo Electric Power Company, Tsuchiura Branch:“There's enough information to coverall aspects and there probably isn't anysubject left out. It was too bad that Icouldn't readily see in the back of mymind the picture of employees whowork so eagerly and enthusiastically.”
Masayuki Oobayashi, Faculty of BusinessAdministration at Konan University:“The report summary was easy to read.I'd have liked it better though, if they'dhave included the specific interactionsassociated with substances when namesof chemicals are mentioned such as'organic silver salts'.”
Kenichi Nitanai,Iwate Prefecture, Environmental Conservation Division:“The content covers everything, andthe summary is nice, too. But theyneed to add more twist to the headersand index.”
Sanae Shinomiya,Freelance Writer:“I was admiring how hard they areworking on this issue. I guess anegative point on the other hand isthat there are just too many pages.”
Setsuo Hiyama, Professor at OsakaUniversity of Economics and Law:“Bigger print certainly makesdocuments easier to read. I personallythought it'd be nice to include eachmanager's dilemma, their strugglesand joys in accomplishing their goals.”
Masamichi Okano,Graduate College at Osaka University:“I appreciated the sincerity theyshowed by honestly admitting theproblems of increasing CO2 emissionsand soil contamination. But why is thereport's summary all the way in theback?”
Noriko Yamamoto,Co-Housing Partners, NPO:“I can give them credit for making the printlarger than the last year's. I can actually readthem without glasses. And the summary iseasy to understand, I guess. This report'sreally extensive, and it's also rather difficultto understand overall because it contains somany foreign words.”
Takefumi Kushibe,NEC Fielding, Ltd.:“I was impressed because theirenvironmental approach is soadvanced. But I wanted to knowwhether the entire corporation ismanaged using the CSR policies.”
Satoshi Komaki,Graduate School at the University of Tokyo:“The content was very rich, disclosinga lot of good information. On theother hand, it was so extensive thatyou really have to sit down to read it. Italso makes it difficult to grasp the gistof this report, too.”
Motoki Hashizume,Faculty of Human and Environment Department atHOUSEI University:“I thought it was a 'report with faces' becausethere are a lot of employee photos. It's justthat it might be difficult for people who arenot too interested in or familiar with theenvironment to read it all the way through.”
Tomoko Umemoto, Tokyo University ofAgriculture and Technology:“I liked the fact that it was mucheasier to read than last year's report.What needs improvement is the futurevision and approach. I'd like to knowmore about them in detail.”
Takaaki Koitabashi,Gunma Prefecture, CivilEngineering Department:“They should be praised for covering notonly the environmental issues but alsohow they relate to the society sothoroughly. I think they should reduce theamount of information on each page,though. It was exhausting to read!”
Motohiko Nakahara,Tokyu Corporation, Department of Business Administrationand Environment:“The positive point was how theyexplained with specific examples, such asthe single-use cameras. I was disappointedthat I can't seem to find the connection tothe survey feedback.”
Shigenao Takada,Suginami Environmental Counselors Council:“It is good to see that they coveredmost all areas of the social andenvironmental activities. I think theycould have organized it a little better,though.”
Fumiko Tsubuhari,Fusione, Techno Solutions Co., Ltd.:“I liked how I could see theimprovements by comparing theresults of 2002 and 2003. I think it'dhave been even better if they'd haveused more visual support.”
Kenichi Kasai,Takenaka Corporation, Global Environmental Chamber:“I felt it easy to read thanks to thefootnotes that explained the technicalterminology on the same page.However, I think they could havewritten more in depth explanations.“
Masataka Okumura,Regional Development NPO Inc.:“I liked the writing style and photosthat detailed their claims. I did want tosee more specific indication of exactlywhat they wanted to do in theircommunication with the regionalcommunities.”
Sayaka Oga,Executive Office of Global Legislators Organization for the Balanced Environment:“I must say that it's impressive to see how theyset a high goal and actually work toward it fromvarious angles. But I would like to ask them toformat the pages differently so that they areeasy to understand, even for people who arenot so interested in the environment.”

Evaluation Results Based on AA1000 Assurance Standard
August 14,2004
ChuoAoyama Sustainability Certification Co., Ltd.
We, ChuoAoyama Sustainability Certification Co., Ltd., believe that it is important that a corporation should not only focus on returning profits to its stakeholders and investors, making social contribution and regulatory compliance, but also should respond to the concerns, interests and expectations of diverse stakeholders. We also believe that the first step to sustainable corporate management, for a corporation, with fulfillment of corporate social responsibility (“CSR”), is try to establish better partnership with stakeholders by communicating them with integrity of corporate activities through corporateinformation disclosure.
As implementating VISION75, the medium-term corporate management plan, Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. (“the Company”) is in the process of making more active communication with the stakeholders to once again realize what social responsibilities are expected for the Company to fulfill and what the Company’s challenges are to address them. Under the commitment by the management, the Company is working to integrate their feedbacks to corporate management. The Company has not yet established a reporting policy based on the AA1000 standard. However, we believed that the Company has foundation to achieve corporate accountability and a performance improvement system, which the standard requires. Therefore, we decided to implement the AA1000 Assurance Standard for the evaluation of CSR activities of the Company.
The objective of the evaluation is to provide the readers of the Report with the results of our evaluation on the following items based on the criteria set by the AA1000 assurance standard. • How well the Company is achieving accountability to the needs of the stakeholders, and• How well the Company is responding to their expectations.
The criteria are based on the three principles of the AA1000 standard. • Materiality: Knowing material (important) issues to itself and its stakeholders• Completeness: Understanding its impact and stakeholders' expectations related to the material issues• Responsiveness: Responding to stakeholders' expectations
We evaluate the credibility of information contained in the Fujifilm Sustanability Report 2004 (“the Report”) report using our own established methods. We have witnessed the Company’s reporting process, and also observed the Company’s communication with its stakeholders at events such as the Sustainability Report Readers Opinion Meeting and the International Stakeholders Dialog, as a third party. We evaluate the process of two major corporation activities, i.e. “execution of actions” and “information disclosure”, from a viewpoint whether the Company completely understands the comments and needs of the stakeholders and responds to the material needs in a complete manner. We made such evaluation in terms of the following aspects: environmental aspect, to which the Company’s efforts are advanced, economic, social and ethical aspect.The evaluation took place based on the schedule on the right.

• Evaluation of Action Steps:
• Evaluation of Level of Information Disclosure:
Response made before 2003, including the group companiesResponse made after 2003, including the group companies Partial response Insufficient responseDisclosed information Expanded and improved content from previous year’s report
Furthermore, we interpret the three principles of the AA1000 Assurance Standard – Materiality, Completeness and Responsiveness – as follows:
• Evaluation of Materiality and CompletenessWe first classify the more important issues among stakeholders’ needs into three large categories (and 14 small categories). We then evaluate whether the Company understands and is responding to all of these key issues.
• Evaluation of ResponsivenessWe then proceed to evaluate each issues classified in the above procedures in the following two process. • Firstly, we evaluated the completion level of actions to the goals, which the management set to achieve a higher
stage of CSR toward next year or in the mid- to long-term. The completion levels are classified into the following steps as shown in the below chart : Step 1 - Establishing plans; Step 2 - Developing a structure; Step 3 - Collecting data; Step 4 - In-house usage.
• Secondly, we evaluated the level of Information Disclosure as shown in the chart below. We evaluated whether information associated with each issues are disclosed in the Report and whether the content is expanded and improved in comparison to the previous reports.
We have compiled the evaluation results (see the chart below) based on the AA1000 Assurance Standard criteria. This chart is an analysis of which action step the Company takes and how the Company discloses information in order to meet the needs of stakeholders.
Through communications with stakeholders, the management and persons responsible for each functions of the Company has changed their awareness of stakeholders’ expectations and needs. As result, they successfully integrated the stakeholders expectations into the action plans for implementation of VISION75, the medium-term management plan. However, in a long-run the Company has just reached the starting line to achieve “the newly realized CSR”. We hope that the Company address the challenges described below to achieve a higher level of CSR activities.
Challenges Related to Taking Action
• Consistent approach toward CSR by each and every Fujifilm Group company• Use of sustainable management analysis results, such as eco-efficiency and environmental accounting, in group
management• Seeing that material opinions are actively reflected in management activities through communication with the
stakeholders
Challenges Related to Information Disclosure
• Complete and comprehensive disclosure related to the stakeholders’ needs
We hope that the Company establishes a reporting policy based on the AA1000 and pursue the CSR activities according to the policy.

2004 FUJIFILM Sustainability Report 93
During this past year, Fujifilm actively implemented dialog to
improve communication with our stakeholders. For example, we
hosted events such as the International Stakeholders Dialog,
Fujifilm Sustainability Report 2003 Readers Opinion Meeting,
and the Environmental Communication Meeting in
Minamiashigara. These events represent, in a concrete manner,
our desire to improve communication, and they served as an
opportunity to obtain various opinions and comments that we
will apply in order to improve our future activities and
information disclosure.
We have proactively reflected the opinions we received through
returned surveys and direct conversations with our stakeholders
in this Sustainability Report 2004 as well. At the same time, we
made efforts to establish and maintain ample communication
with our in-house stakeholders. Selected editors from each
division collaborated to produce this report, incorporating the
frank opinions and comments of our employees.
The Sustainability Report 2004 was put together so that it is easy
to read and understand. We aimed to simultaneously satisfy our
stakeholders’ desire to see and know the Fujifilm Group’s
approach to sustainability, as well as our desire to communicate
it. However, we also face the dilemma of an increasing number
of pages each year. We intend to decrease the pages in our
reports in the coming years by expanding our website coverage
and determing which information should be included in the
Sustainability Report.
We will continue to practice PDCA (Plan � Do � Check � Act)
to communicate both inside and outside of Fujifilm. We will also
take our stakeholders’ comments seriously, and integrate their
concerns as we carry out our new activities. Your comments and
opinions are very much appreciated.
If you have any questions or comments about the contents of this report,or about Fujifilm’s environmental conservation activities, please directthem to the addresses below. You could also fill out the attached ques-tionnaire. We appreciate your frank comments and opinions.
