4.5 ｜ Human Rights 4. Prevention and mitigation of adverse impact on human rights and progress The Fujifilm Group is implementing a number of initiatives to prevent or mitigate any adverse impact on the following three group-wide priority human rights issues. (1) Inappropriate work environment and labor practices at suppliers The Fujifilm Group operates businesses that require assembling and processing products and parts, and has a large number of suppliers to work with. In these circumstances, one of our priority human rights issues to tackle is possible inappropriate work environment and labor practices at our suppliers. The Fujifilm Group implements actions for respecting human rights in our supply chain at the suppliers and in-plant contractors mainly within the framework of sustainable procurement. We clearly specify the Procurement Policy and Request to Suppliers as a procurement approach and present specific checkpoints in the Fujifilm Group Sustainable Procurement Guidelines to gain the understanding of suppliers involved in our global product manufacturing regarding the importance of CSR management. On the other hand, to ensure that the suppliers understand our approach to procurement, employees who participate in our procurement activities must also be aware of the importance of sustainable procurement. Our regular in-house procurement meetings arrange for reports to be presented on sustainable procurement activities and for any issues to be shared, emphasizing the importance of acting to ensure respect for human rights. In the Sustainable Value Plan 2030 (SVP 2030), our CSR plan announced in 2017, we committed to reinforce the CSR foundations such as labor practices, human rights, environment, and corporate ethics throughout the supply chain which we set as the base for business activities. The Group’s sustainable procurement program comprises the following 4-step cycle: (1) Communication of sustainable procurement-related policies; (2) Risk assessments on suppliers; (3) Requesting suppliers to improve and offering support; (4) Improvement activities by suppliers. We provide various checks and support for suppliers, aiming to eliminate forced labor and child labor and encouraging better labor management, occupational health and safety, and consideration for migrant workers.

All global executive officers and employees are required to declare to comply with the Code of Conduct. As for the human rights issues on our employees, we raise awareness among Group employees in their new hire training programs and training programs for new managerial personnel. The training programs for new managerial personnel focus on workforce management in general, including prevention of long working hours and mental health measures, as well as harassment prevention. Regarding overtime working hours, trend in monthly overtime is monitored, and warnings and guidance are issued to the business divisions exceeding the designated levels and the necessary corrective measures are implemented continuously. We address harassment issues by implementing measures coordinated to fit the conditions at each company or business division, in addition to regular training programs. (3) Violation of the rights of clinical trial participants in healthcare business The Fujifilm Group Global Healthcare Code of Conduct published in fiscal 2020 opens with a declaration of respect for the right to self-determination, dignity, privacy and the human rights of clinical trial participants. Our Global Healthcare Code of Conduct has been disseminated across the Fujifilm Group. It applies to all executive officers and employees in our healthcare businesses as well as to our subcontractors, temporary workers, sales agents and distributors, and all other business partners and interested parties involved in the provision, sales and support of our healthcare products and services. To ensure that the standards and requirements of the Fujifilm Group Global Healthcare Code of Conduct are respected, the In-house Guidelines on the Global Healthcare Code of Conduct that explain the Code in detail were also released. In fiscal 2020, the first effective year of the Global Healthcare Code of Conduct, Healthcare Compliance Training Programs were held for some 3,500 employees in the healthcare business, including the medical systems and pharmaceuticals businesses. A basic e-learning program was implemented for around 20,000 employees 128 FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation Sustainability Report 2023
