Resource recycling system in Business Innovation business (1) Product recycling policy in Business Innovation business: Promoting reuse of resources for infinite “Zero disposal” Based on the concept that “used products are valuable resources, not waste,” our resource recycling system for multifunction devices takes the following three approaches for manufacturing aiming to reduce environmental impact across the product lifecycle. Closed Loop Recycling System Utilize used products as a resource Resource Inverse Manufacturing Create products under the premise of reusing parts to minimize recycling environmental impact system Zero Emissions Parts that cannot be reused are separated and recycled to be utilized again as new materials (2) Basic principle of international resource recycling system construction As our business becomes globalized, we aim to create an International Resource Recycling System across the areas we operate (Japan, China, and the Asia Pacific Region). In light of this aim, we have established the following systems for the resource recycling system for overseas operations so that our stakeholders can work with us without concern. [Basic approach in overseas operations] ① Manage and operate factories under the manufacturer’s responsibility to avoid potential risks ② Ensure consistent recycling quality equivalent to that in Japan ③ Reduce environmental impact in each country and region [Four principles] ① Prevent illegal dumping by collecting used products under the manufacturer’s responsibility ② Do not import items that could potentially end as waste ③ Do no cause environmental impact to the importer countries and regions (where recycling sites are established) ④ Offer benefits to the importer countries and regions (where recycling sites are established) FUJIFILMBusinessInnovationIntegratedRecyclingSystem https://www.fuji昀椀lm.com/fbglobal/eng/company/csr/svp2030/environment/recycle.html Aboutcollectingusedcartridges https://www.fuji昀椀lm.com/fb/support/cru/printer(inJapaneseonly) (3) Resource recycling New Resource Reduction by Using Reuse Parts in Business Innovation Business* Unit: tons FY2018 FY2019 FY2020 FY2021 FY2022 New Resource Reduction 2,967 3,393 3,145 3,777 4,050 * The total amount of new resource reduction in the production stage by using reuse parts. * Total for Japan and the Asia-Pacific Region as FUJIFILM Business Innovation trading areas until FY2020. 84 FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation Sustainability Report 2023
