Governance To improve the Group’s ability to address a wide-area disaster, the Fujifilm Group is adding and strengthening the measures to be taken when a natural disaster is anticipated. For torrential rain, we use information on rainstorms and river system water levels made available by the administrative authorities to strengthen preparatory measures in each region. We also use the information to predict changes in river water levels and develop a groupwide system to issue alerts when the warning criteria are reached. Each business site established a manual to respond to the alerts and estimates potential disasters and takes early countermeasures. (2) Information collection on the outbreak of a disaster To grasp an information such as employee and structural safety rapidly and properly, the Fujifilm Group has introduced various systems to assist in doing this. ① Employee safety check system The system was introduced in 2009 that collects information and confirms the safety of all employees of the Fujifilm Group in Japan when a special alert is issued. ② Internal damage information collection system To assess damage to business operations, an internal damage information collection system was introduced in 2014, followed by a disaster information mapping system in 2017. In 2019, the two systems were interlinked to assess situations timely and centrally on a digital map, which combines their respective data into one with information from the damage status reports from the Japan Meteorological Agency and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, information on the status of railway operations from the various railway companies, information on electric power and water supply failures and other wide-area disaster data. All the information is shared rapidly among the members at the disaster control headquarters at head office on the outbreak of a disaster. ③ Structural safety assessment system A structural safety assessment system, which assesses the safety of structures at our major business sites in the event of a disaster, was introduced in 2017 and has been utilized for a first-round estimation of structural damage before allowing employees to enter to the facilities. In addition, an overseas risk management system was introduced in 2019 for business sites for all the companies in the Fujifilm Group to give a swift assessment of disaster damage and risks that are likely to impact business continuity. We use these systems to rapidly assess the risks and their potential impact on a digital map and is able to assist the relevant parties in taking prompt action. For earthquakes, floods, wind damage and other leading disasters, the probability of occurrence is classified into levels. For business sites located in high-risk regions, action in this area is regarded as a priority issue, requiring development of appropriate measures and annual reviews of the progress made with implementation. We plan to strengthen our disaster protection system and enable wider sharing of the information collection process. (3) Emergency drills and employee training In recent years, the risks of potential disasters have grown in Japan, including Nankai megathrust earthquakes, a greater Tokyo earthquake, a Mount Fuji eruption, torrential rainstorms, flash floods and rises in sea level. we conduct drills that are designed to prepare for possible a Nankai Trough earthquake or a greater Tokyo earthquake, as well as an eruption of Mount Fuji. What kind of procedures will lead to the appropriate action, what initial procedure is required to enable other business sites to respond in the event of Tokyo head office being damaged and what is the best decision-making process that management should follow are all being studied. Our employees are the most important factor for an early recovery when the company sustains damage. To minimize damage from a disaster, each and every employee must increase their understanding of disaster protection and the required preparations. In addition to regular disaster prevention training, a disaster prevention portal has been created on the intranet to actively communicate the relevant information to employees. 47 FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation Sustainability Report 2023
