3.5 | Product Stewardship (Design for Environment) 3.5 Product Stewardship (Design for Environment) 3.5.1 Basic Approach Based on the Fujifilm Group Green Policy (Environmental Policy), we are working to implement Design for Environment in all new and re-designed products. We set environmental quality targets at the product development stage, then we conduct product assessment in the design and development stage in order to understand the level of achievement against our set environmental targets before market introduction of products. The assessment results and requirements from the market are then reflected in the targets for future product development. This approach is applied not only to the development of material products and equipment products, but also to the development of software and solution in a bid to reduce the environmental impact on society through our products, services and technologies. Along with the objective and quantitative appraisal of environmental impact by means of Life Cycle Assessment, we proactively demonstrate our environmental consideration through environmental labels. Design for Environment https://holdings.fujifilm.com/en/sustainability/activity/environment#link07 3.5.2 Design for Environment 1. Standards of Design for Environment (1) Materials and equipment In the development of environmentally conscious products, we also set targets concerning environmental quality from the perspective of climate change mitigation (reduced power use, etc.), the Reduce, Reuse & Recycle principle of resource saving and recycling, risk reduction of chemical substances, and biodiversity by considering each stage of product lifecycle including material procurement, manufacturing, transportation, use and disposal. The degree of target achievement is then assessed once a product has been developed. (2) Software, service, and IT solutions In the area of software and service solutions, we set resource conservation, energy conservation, transportation reduction, space saving, and time saving in customers’ sites as our environmentally conscious evaluation items. We are working to create products that can contribute to environmental impact reduction throughout the whole of society. 2. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) The Fujifilm Group is developing products with less environmental impact through objective and quantitative environmental impact assessment throughout product lifecycle (material procurement, manufacturing, transportation, use, and disposal) utilizing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in the product development stage. LCA is also used to assess the progress of efforts for the Group target, which is to reduce CO emissions across our 2 product lifecycle by 50% by FY2030 (compared to the FY2019 level). 3.5.3 “Green Value Products” Certification Program To create environmentally conscious products, the Fujifilm Group introduced “Green Value Products” certification in fiscal 2018 for products and services that satisfy certain standards for environmental consciousness. The standards and their operation of Design for Environment are made common across the Group so that the degree of environmental value is quantified through the standards set for each product and service. The products and services are then classified as Silver, Gold, or Diamond to indicate the improvement level. This also helps clarify the environmental issues to be addressed next for further reduction of environmental impact. 88 FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation Sustainability Report 2023
