[Priority Issue 1] Promote Global Warming Countermeasures: Outline of Activities in FY2016 “Global Warming Countermeasures”

The Fujifilm Group's total CO₂ emissions from the entire product lifecycle were reduced by 14% over the base year (FY2005) in FY2016, achieving our intermediate target (a reduction of 10% in FY2016) by a wide margin. We have maintained a downward trend since FY2011 with a reduction of 3% over FY2015. Especially at the manufacturing stage, we achieved a large reduction of 5% over the previous year.

The Fujifilm Group has been engaging in group-wide activities against global warming since it established the Global Warming Prevention Committee in FY2017, and today the activities are carried on by the Energy Strategy Promotion Committee. In the meantime, the scope of activities has expanded throughout the Group. In parallel with this, we are focusing on the efficient use of energy on a comprehensive view, not only by conserving energy but also by improving our energy procurement and supply processes.

In FY2016, one of our main factories in the Netherlands succeeded in sourcing 100% of its power from renewable energy (from wind power generation), and the Fujinomiya Factory has made the transition from heavy oil to gas to lower the CO₂ emission by their energy consumption. Additionally, we are making efforts to direct the efficient use of energy through production planning in consideration of the distinctive characteristics of the energy facility, and through in-house cogeneration systems that have the flexibility to adapt to changes in the volume of products being manufactured, and this has given a 5% year-on-year reduction in CO₂ emissions at the production stage.

The in-house cogeneration system, which started to supply the power generated at the Fujifilm Fujinomiya Factory to the sites of our Group companies in FY2014, was expanded in FY2016 to give wider coverage. There are now in-house cogeneration systems at 19 of our Group companies' sites, contributing to the greater leveling of power demand that the Japanese government seeks.
