Since its founding in 1934, Fujifilm has recognized that clean water and air are essential for photographic film production. This understanding has shaped our long-standing commitment to environmental protection. Fujifilm Yusui-no-mori, a forest located near the Ashigara Site of Kanagawa Factory, spans approximately 13 hectares and has been maintained for over 90 years as a place of coexistence with nature. At both Fujifilm Yusui-no-mori and Fujifilm Iyashi-no-Komichi, a nature path of approximately 2 hectares within the Fujinomiya Factory, Fujifilm has benefited from natural resources such as water. In collaboration with local stakeholders, Fujifilm has implemented conservation activities for forests, springs, and rivers.

This certification recognizes Fujifilm’s sustained conservation efforts at the certified sites, supporting biodiverse ecosystems including habitats for rare species, through these conservation measures and operations designed to minimize environmental impact. It also acknowledges Fujifilm’s plan to continue these conservation activities in the future.
