At FUJIFILM Business Innovation, we manage chemical substances used in our products in accordance with the Fujifilm Group Green Policy. In addition to managing them under our voluntary regulation standards, which are stricter than the legal requirements, we work under a basic policy of obtaining correct information about establishment and revisions of related laws and regulations and completing necessary compliance measures before the enforcement of established or revised laws and regulations.
We manage chemical substance information in a unified manner as the Fujifilm Group by using chemSHERPA, a standard format from the Japan Article Management Promotion-consortium (JAMP), in addition to the database we have accumulated so far.
We also check the level of management by our suppliers by auditing them and provide them with necessary support, in an effort to improve the level of management of our overall supply chain. We will continue to stay ahead of international trends by working together with local subsidiaries of the Fujifilm Group and will remain proactive in advancing initiatives to supply products worldwide and reduce the use of substances of concern.
