4.5 ｜ Human Rights (3) Adopting opinions of external experts pertaining to life sciences (Bioethics Review Committee) We have set up Fujifilm Bioethics Review Committee to oversee our research and business activities related to life sciences. The committee members include external experts, allowing the committee to conduct comprehensive studies into protecting personal information and the viability of action in terms of ethics and science. The findings of such reviews are fed back to our research & development and other related activities appropriately. The targets for review are genetic analysis with the use of human-derived tissue, immunological research, clinical research and the handling of personal genetic data and related operations. In clinical trials, for example, our clinical trial plans are reviewed by the external experts to ensure that they do not affect the interests of the clinical trial participants. In fiscal 2022, we concluded 29 bioethics reviews in total including simplified reviews. The Committee’s regulations, list of members, related research documents published, and minutes of the committee meetings are available on our website. (4) Dialogue with community As a member of the community, the Fujifilm Group proactively discloses the Group’s environmental protection activities and holds events in the form of environmental communication meetings and similar activities to collect feedbacks from the local community. We plan to upgrade the environmental activities conducted by our factories and carry out active and continuous information communication and disclosure to the public at large. 132 FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation Sustainability Report 2023
