version of its Sustainability Report 2005, which summarizes
its corporate activities in FY2004 aimed at contributing to
the realization of a sustainable society. The printed version
comprises 52 A4 pages while the Web version
comprises nearly 250 pages (A4-size). |
| Similar to last year, the Report goes beyond
merely conveying details of the activities and reporting data
to include a focus on the Company's vision and stance. It
covers a range of themes, including top management commitment
by President Toshio Arima, five key highlights of corporate
activities compiled from a third party perspective, and a
section on management and performance, which outlines results.
|
| The five highlights covered in the Report
are as follows: |
| |
Highlight 1: Corporate
Value: Documents for Management |
|
| |
Amid the rising need for corporate
accountability, Fuji Xerox promotes initiatives
to ensure greater management transparency and
guarantee its own existence. At the same time,
the Company is developing a services business
that leverages its know-how amassed in the process. |

Highlight 2: Natural
Resource Depletion: Resource Depletion Has No
National Boundaries |
|
| |
Having shifted production operations
to China and other parts of Asia, Fuji Xerox is
implementing measures to tackle the problem of
natural resource depletion in those areas. In
December 2004, the Company commenced a global
resources recycling system for the Asia-Pacific
region. The recycling base for the system was
built in Thailand, with operations getting underway
in December 2004. |

The Report covers a conference
held to discuss thoughts on material procurement
for paper and Fuji Xerox's procurement regulations,
as covered in last year's report. Participants
at the meeting included various Fuji Xerox stakeholders:

environmental NPO); Oji Paper Co., Ltd. (a paper
manufacturer); and the Green Purchasing Network
(GPN), an NPO that formulated guidelines on green
procurement |

With Employees: Healthy Employees Drive Corporate
Vitality |

foundations, its employees must first of all be

system are outlined in the Report from an interview
with HR staff as well as an industrial doctor.
