3.6 | Management of Chemical Substance 3.6.6 Fluorocarbons Emissions/Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Emissions We are introducing measures to reduce perfluorocarbons (PFC) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) as the greenhouse gases, and also chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) as ozone depleting substances, according to the regulations in each country. We have set a target to reduce VOC emissions to less than the smallest value in the last three years. 1.

Response to the PRTR Law (Fujifilm Group) in Japan The Fujifilm Group controls substances that must be reported under the PRTR Law (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register Law) and another substances on a voluntary basis, and has been endeavoring to reduce those emission. Data (usage volume, atmospheric emissions volume, emission into public water, volume going into sewage water, volume moved outside of facilities, and volume recycled) on substances used in amounts of one ton or more per year by Fujifilm and its domestic subsidiaries may be reported on the following Fujifilm website.
