The Fujifilm Group continues to embrace our Group Purpose: “Giving our world more smiles.” Since adopting this Purpose in January 2024, I have traveled to our sites around the world, where we conduct business, speaking directly with employees. In these conversations, I’ve continued to stress the importance of every individual having a personal aspiration — something they genuinely want to achieve — and turning that aspiration into actions that bring smiles to the people they impact through their work.
Sharing aspirations with colleagues and putting them into action is where innovation begins. From our roots in photography, Fujifilm built on our strong business foundations and technical skills to enter new fields, shaping today’s business portfolio spanning healthcare, electronics, business innovation, and imaging. Through all of our businesses, we are committed to bringing smiles to society, to our customers and, in turn, to ourselves. We will continue striving toward this Purpose in our corporate culture and in all of our business activities.
We are closely watching the many trends and changes in society and promoting management that emphasizes profitability and capital efficiency while enhancing the Fujifilm Group’s competitive advantages.
In our growing semiconductor materials business, for example, demand continues to rise with the progress of AI and digital transformation. In response, we have built a global support system that not only produces materials close to our customers manufacturing sites but also provides engineers who work alongside customers to help solve challenges. With the strength of our extensive product lineup covering nearly the entire semiconductor manufacturing pre-process, we are expanding touchpoints with our customers, strengthening our post-process capabilities, and providing one-stop solutions —
all while also accelerating the development of new materials for advanced next-generation semiconductors. With these initiatives, we will further secure our position as the most trusted partner in the semiconductor industry.
The key to supporting this value creation lies in effectively leveraging AI as an engine for transformation. By accelerating the implementation of AI in our products, services and everyday operations across the entire Fujifilm Group, we continuously strive to create new value.
The Fujifilm Group plays an important role in addressing social issues in the areas of the Environment, Health, Daily Life, and Work Style. We are promoting initiatives that prioritize environmental and social responsibility including addressing climate change, promoting resource recycling, and supporting biodiversity. Through these efforts, we are working toward a more sustainable society.
My personal aspiration is to “leave behind something beneficial for the future 100 years from now.” By bringing together diverse talents and unique technological capabilities across the Fujifilm Group, we will continue working toward a future filled with smiles.
