Environmental Aspects 3.7 Biodiversity Conservation 3.7.1. Basic Approach For the preservation and maintenance of biodiversity, the Fujifilm Group has established the Fujifilm Group Basic Concepts and Action Guidelines for Biodiversity Conservation (also known as Guidelines for Biodiversity) as the group-wide policy based on the Fujifilm Charter for Corporate Behavior and Code of Conduct. To prevent our business activities having an adverse impact on biodiversity, we are committed to preservation, conservation and sustainable use and are working to reduce the destruction of biodiversity. We are engaged in constant communication with our stakeholders in this area from an international standpoint to ensure that we are responding to the needs of society.

In 2019, while compiling Natural Capital Accounting data as disclosed in our Integrated Report, we identified “paper,” which occupies the majority of procurement costs of natural bio-ingredients in the business innovation segment, as an item that poses the highest risk to the ecosystem. We used the Natural Capital Protocol from the Natural Capital Coalition to assess the impact from our paper procurement and its dependency on natural capital. Specifically, we compared procurement of raw materials for paper production from sustainably managed forest resources with procurement from forest resources that have problems with sustainability and evaluated their respective impacts on climate change, public health and sanitation and biodiversity. The results showed that procurement from sustainable resources reduced our social loss in the range from 20 (in minimum) to 750 (in maximum) million dollars in comparison to procurement from unsustainable resources. These findings substantiate the monetary value of our paper procurement activities, which we have been carrying out since 2004 with an awareness of ecosystems, biodiversity and the human rights of local communities. We now intend to expand the scope of our measures. 99 FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation Sustainability Report 2023
