We are dedicated to taking responsibility by integrating environmentally conscious strategies and upholding the highest ethical standards throughout our entire value chain. While our initial focus was on climate action, our sustainability strategy is evolving to embrace the social and governance elements of the ESG principles. We have a long way to go before reaching our goals, but we take steps every day. 

Through Partners for the Planet™, we are dedicated to contributing to the mitigation of one of society’s most pressing challenges and making a meaningful, positive impact on the world through our five key focus areas.

Our Five Focus Areas

Zero Impact from Operations

We work to reduce operational impact through site-level roadmaps for energy, emissions, water, and waste.

Ethical Procurement & Supply Chain

We engage supplies on environmental and social standards and embed ESG criteria into procurement.

Valued Partners for Customers

We provide customers with environmental data, transparency, and partnership dialogue.

Real Patient Impact

We help biopharmaceutical partners develop and manufacture life-impacting therapies through reliable, scalable CDMO services.

Safe & Attractive Work Environment

We strengthen safety, trust, and engagement through local ownership and a People First culture.

FY25 highlights: 27% renewable electricity share; emissions curve flattened (+0.3% Scope 1+2 YoY vs +20% revenue); improved EcoVadis ratings.

EcoVadis Awards

As part of our commitment to society, our people, and the environment, FUJIFILM Biotechnologies performs sustainability ratings for all production sites globally with EcoVadis, a global leader in business sustainability assessments. The EcoVadis assessment covers 21 sustainability criteria across four core themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. 

By evaluating every site on a regular basis, we gain a structured, third-party-validated framework for managing sustainability across our operations, along with clear insights into strengths and areas for improvement. These insights inform targeted action plans, measurable KPIs, and a roadmap for continuous improvements that guides our year-over-year performance.  

EcoVadis also enables benchmarking against industry peers, greater transparency for customers and stakeholders through a recognized rating, and enhanced risk management aligned with international norms.  

We’re thrilled to share that we currently hold a gold medal and three silver medals with our fifth site in Texas to be evaluated during 2027.
