4.5 | Human Rights 4.5 Human Rights 4.5.1 Basic Approach The Fujifilm Group recognizes that respect for human rights is our responsibility. We clearly state our commitment to this responsibility in Fujifilm Group’s Charter for Corporate Behavior and Code of Conduct translated into 24 languages. The Charter for Corporate Behavior and the Code of Conduct state our basic approach toward respecting human rights. We established Fujifilm Group Human Rights Statement, in which we declare our support for a range of global human rights principles, including the UN International Bill of Human Rights and the UN’s Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and to take any necessary measures to assess and mitigate the risks that negatively impact human rights in business activities. To create the Human Rights Statement, we sought opinions and advice from our Group companies and stakeholders across the world and it was introduced after adoption by the CSR Committee (current ESG Committee), chaired by the President of FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation in 2018. The Fujifilm Group aims to grow together with our suppliers through sharing with them the importance of social responsibility and corporate ethics in undertaking business activities. With this aim, we communicate to our suppliers our “Request to Suppliers” which refers to Fujifilm Group Charter for Corporate Behavior and Code of Conduct, and Fujifilm Group Sustainable Procurement Guidelines, and request them to operate in line with the Charter and the Code. As a company operating in Japan, we also implement initiatives to support respect for human rights in our supply chain, following the Guidelines on Respecting Human Rights in Responsible Supply Chains announced by the Japanese government in September 2022. In step with the expansion of our healthcare business, in July 2020 we established the Fujifilm Group Global Healthcare Code of Conduct to clarify our basic principles, such as respect for the human rights of our patients in all of our activities, as well as to ensure appropriateness and transparency in our interactions with medical professionals. In April 2023, the Guidelines on the Global Healthcare Code of Conduct intended for our employees were updated. In December 2020, we adopted the Fujifilm Group AI Policy as the basis for our active utilization of AI in the drive to accelerate our efforts to resolve social issues in our various business areas. In view of the fact that AI technology has yet to reach maturity, we will examine the risks that are likely to emerge in ethics and other areas to ensure that we carry out our business activities with respect for basic human rights.

Promotion structure In the Fujifilm Group, priority issues concerning human rights and the results of measures to prevent/mitigate any violations are reported to and deliberated on by the FUJIFILM Holdings ESG Committee (chaired by the President) and then reported to the Board of Directors. The ESG Committee’s policy states clearly that “activities for identifying significant human rights issues in business activities and preventing and reducing any issues” shall be deliberated on and decided by the Committee. Resources to ensure respect for human rights are allocated by the section in question on a day-to-day basis depending on the potential impact: by Human Resources Division for issues concerning Fujifilm Group employees and by procurement divisions for issues concerning suppliers or in-plant contractors. Prior to completing a merger and acquisition or at the start of a new business involving a large investment, we assess the appropriateness of the investment by reviewing the human rights status as part of our comprehensive due diligence. 126 FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation Sustainability Report 2023
