TRANSCRIPT
Editorial Guidelines for Environmental Report
Basic Awareness: An environmental report is "a means of environmental communication." At the same time it is "an important tool to report and explain how we are trying to protect the environment, which is the common property of all people, in order to fulfill our social responsibility as a corporate citizen by minimizing the impact of our business operations." That is why, in addition to credibility and comprehensiveness, we have emphasized clarity in this report.
Period covered: For Fuji Xerox itself, "Environmental Report 2001" covers FY 2000 (January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000); some sections that describe ongoing company and group efforts extend beyond January 1, 2001.In coming editions the information will be extended to cover companies of the Fuji Xerox Group.
Continuity and the period issued: This is the third issue in a continuing series of annual reports. The closing of books at the end of March 2001, however, means that our 42nd financial term is an irregular accounting period of three months. Consequently, from now on we plan to issue reports annually in August.
Guidelines: Continuing from last year, this report is based on GRI Guidelines* (June 2000) and the official Japanese Environmental Report Guidelines issued in November 2000 (draft proposals) by the former Environmental Agency. To maintain continuity, we have included information regarding environmentally motivated social activities.
Focus of interest: In the arrangement of the report, the majority of space has been devoted to the Company's efforts to create "green products" that respond to environmental concerns. Green products are designed with environmental considerations in mind, especially the role of systematic recycling and reuse. As such, they represent the company's continuing effort to remain a sustainable company in an environmentally aware society that realizes the necessity of the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Auditing of reports: Beginning in FY 2000, the company reorganized into internal companies. At the same time we started submitting our environmental reports checked by auditors. The results of these audits are publicly available.
Points to note: More detailed information than is presented in this report is available from our Internet website. The additional information can be accessed via our homepage. Finally, in this report we have tried very hard to avoid using technical terms. But when a special term is necessary, we explain what it means.
May 2001
*Established in 1997, the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) is an international organization that strives to achieve a common framework for reporting by means of "sustainability reporting guidelines" for companies.

Message from the President
With the publication of "Fuji Xerox Environmental Report 2001," I would like to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you for your continuing support. The 21st century is destined to become the Century of the Environment. For example, in order to steer society away from mass production, consumption and waste and on toward an economic system based on resource recycling, last year the six laws for establishing the recycling based-society were enacted in Japan. The widespread effort to achieve sustainability is rapidly gathering momentum. The Law on Promoting Green Purchase, for example, came into effect in April of this year as a means of encouraging the purchase of products that minimize environmental impact. The law has already boosted demand for "eco" products.
We have been fully committed to the green product concept since 1994 and, in response to customer needs, we have developed "Green products." Our work has received public recognition for excellence in power conservation: Owing to the superb energy efficiency of the DocuPrint C2220 color laser printer and the DocuColor 1250 Series of digital color copiers, we have won the National Energy Conservation Grand Prize for two consecutive years. Beginning in 1995 the company introduced a concept called the Resource Recycling System. This idea had a great influence on design, and even paid off in our operations: By FY 2000 we'd produced 54 models with reusable parts and were thus able to save the input of 1,700 t of new resources. Our Zero Waste policy has also been successful. In August 2000 we achieved 100% resource recycling on products collected from customers.
Although business operates on both the social and the economic fronts, we recognize that our mission--even amid the achievement of economic results--is to give the highest priority to the environment, a social factor. This has come to be the normal way we approach all our operations. I think we can regard FY 2000 as the year
in which our targets of "Eco-oriented Management" gradually began to show results. Facing the 21st century, and acting against global warming, we are more determined than ever to achieve reduced CO2 emission targets through energy-saving activities. For our production operations we have set the target of reducing CO2 emissions to half the 1990 level by 2010. Moreover, we're building environmental motivation into our general management structure. Consequently, ISO14001 certifications will be extended, by 2002, even to Group work sites that are not involved in production. Of course, we remain committed to achieving a yet more thorough "the resource recycling system" as part of our contribution to a recycling based-society.
"Environmental Report 2001" presents the results of our various efforts to protect the environment in FY 2000. Not only do we hope we succeed in communicating what we're trying to do and what we've actually achieved, we'd also like to encourage you to share your opinions about the Company's future plans.

"Mission Statement" and "Shared Values"
Core of Eco-oriented Management(Corporate Philosophy and Policy)
In more than 39 years since its establishment in 1962, Fuji Xerox has had a history of achievement and sustained growth. As well as establishing domestic subsidiaries and setting up overseas companies, the company has come up with the New Work Way concept and has been awarded the prestigious Deming Prize for total quality control and management. The Cor-porate Philosophy and Policy, which were elaborated upon in 1979, played a great role in that success.In 1998, as we approached the threshold of a new century, we clarified our ultimate goal of the Fuji Xerox Group as a whole. Rather than pursue growth and profit for their own sake, we concluded that the objective of our actions was to make a contribution to the progress of global society. To guide and lead the attitude of each employee, we summarized our cor-porate goals in "Mission Statement" and "Shared Values."

Goals
Results
Development and Design System
At Fuji Xerox the creation of highly efficient green products begins at the planning stage, wherein development targets are set. A new product is only released to the market after it has achieved these target specifications.Our products must, at the least, meet the minimum legal requirements. We also set our own standards of excellence, in consideration of the published standards for major environmental labels,* regulations and market trends. Not only do our products conform with our own stringent standards, the specifications are targeted for further improvement via midterm plans. Committed to complete lifecycle design, we also strongly emphasize the reusability of parts.We implement green design according to guidelines and data. In addition to evaluating the excellence of product design, we carry out stringent final checks to ensure that the environmental performance of our green products conforms to expectations.Our company information system supports the people involved in the development process. Using an intranet, authorized personnel have convenient access to all the standards, guidelines, information and data they need.To ensure that the latest intelligence and technology are shared and embodied in products under development, the Internal Standardization Committee regularly meets to review standards and guidelines.
* To enable consumers to make informed decisions, an environmental label is a mark awarded by a monitoring group on behalf of products demonstrating excellent environmental performance.

Policy Regarding Environmental Labels and Certification
♦ Eco MarkThe Eco Mark*1 standards (No. 117) for copiers were released in November of 1999. These standards, which are very similar to those of the German Blue Angel mark,*2 take into account environmental impact from manufacturing to final disposal.In principle, all new models of Fuji Xerox copiers and multifunction copiers are designed to meet Eco Mark standards. As of the end of FY 2000, certification had been acquired for 61 models❇ from 10 product series.The DocuColor 1250 Series was the industry's first color copier/multifunction copier to receive the Eco Mark.
*1 The Eco Mark is an environmental labeling system that was introduced by the Japan Environment Association in 1989.
*2 The Blue Angel Mark is a system of environmental labeling instituted by the Federal Environment Agency of Germany.
Planning and Development of Green Products
❇ Models that qualify for the Eco Mark are shown on page 57.
❇ New products that acquired certification in FY 2000 are shown on page 57.
♦ International Energy Star ProgramThe Energy Star Program* rates the energy-efficiency of office equipment, especially copiers and printers. Standby-mode energy efficiency is particularly important, given that 70% of the overall energy consumed can be wasted when the devices are not actually in use.All applicable Fuji Xerox products conform to the low standby energy-consumption criteria specified by the International Energy Star program.In FY 2000, with 56❇ of our models conforming, for all the units sold that year, the rate of conformance was 97%.

To create excellent green products, it's necessary to develop superior environmental technologies. Fuji Xerox has been actively pursuing the technological development of environmental characteristics, including energy savings. Our approach to the environment, along with our advanced knowledge and environmental expertise, is embodied in green products that bring lasting benefits to our customers.
.Launch the new products with the excellent energy-saving-technologies, which are newly developed.
.Reduce resource consumption and ensure a comfortable operating environment by developing technologies to make our products safe and easy to use.
.Cut the use of harmful chemical substances from our products such as lead, chrome and halogen-based fire retardants.
Energy Savings
♦ Downward Trend in Copier and Multifunction Copier Energy Consumption
The graph on the right, taking the value for 1995 as base 100, shows how we have managed to cut the energy consumed, on a per-unit basis, by the copiers and multifunction copiers we have sold and that are in actual use.
As well as increasing the number of products that incorporate our advanced energy-saving technology, we have also annually decreased the amount of energy consumed per unit. In FY 2000 energy consumption was just 78% of the FY 1995 level.
In FY 2000, owing to the successful effort to further improve our environmental technology, we released products that are even more energy-efficient. These products are effectively cutting the overall energy consumption of products used in the market.
The graph shows data for copiers and multifunction copiers. Because our digital copiers use the same print technology, however, the expertise we've developed is saving energy in both conventional and new equipment.On the next page you can get an idea of the technologies we're using to cut energy consumption.

Energy Savings
Environmental Technologies Development
<Saving Energy with the Fusing Mechanism>Fuji Xerox developed a free-belt nip-fusing method to fuse toner to paper drawn between the heat roll and an endless belt.Compared with conventional methods that use upper and lower rollers for fusing, a greater area of paper comes into contact with the heat roll during the process of printing. This makes heat-transfer much more efficient. In addition to raising the printing speed, it has also resulted in more compact equipment.Shrinking the warm-up period from 300 seconds to 45 seconds, this technology has enabled a time reduction of 85% (company data).
<Saving Energy with the Controller>We developed a CPU chip to control the printer. During energy-saving (sleep) mode the chip itself goes into low-consumption mode and keeps only the network functions active. Control circuitry on the chip ensures that all other circuits are switched off. Not only is the power used by the rest of the printer strictly controlled by the CPU, the amount of power needed in sleep mode by the CPU itself has been significantly reduced, down to less than 3 watts.Additionally, to cut waste during sleep mode, we've implemented energy-saving technology in the power-supply unit. Our new, highly energy-efficient power supply means that, at 5 watts, the total power requirement in sleep mode is one of the lowest in the world.The excellent technology we've developed has enabled us to achieve this standby power requirement of 5 watts, well below the 70-watt ceiling for sleep mode required by the revised Energy Star standards of November 11, 2000.

♦ Reducing the consumption of tonerFuji Xerox has come out with a magnetic carrier and pigment toner with particles approximately six microns in diameter, the world's smallest. Using finer particles than are found in conventional toner (approx. 7µm) means that 10% less toner is needed.By using a novel polyester resin to engineer the right balance of granularity and adhesion, the company has also managed to achieve a fusion temperature that's 20°C lower than that of conventional toner. This development has allowed us to produce equipment that prints faster and reduces energy consumption.We are now studying the feasibility of using the new toner with a number of future products.
♦ Effective utilization of waste paper pulp~ Birth of recycled colored paper ~The Fuji Xerox Group has been working jointly with a paper manufacturer to advance the creation of products that are less detrimental to the environment. In particular, we've been actively promoting cutting the amount of waste generated by making more effective use of waste paper. To push things along, we've initiated a project to encourage the use of more recycled-paper pulp.Our activities have involved attempts to use recycled paper in the pulping mixtures used for every type of copier paper the Fuji Xerox Group handles, including paper cut to size for printing. When the project began in the fall of 1997, the overall proportion was 27%, but by December of 1999 that figure had increased to 44.7%. In the year 2000, as part of our continuing effort to increase the use of waste paper, we developed and marketed two types of copier paper: " C2r (Cee 2 R) " and "Recycle Color Paper 100." For color or monochrome printing and made from 70% recycled-paper pulp, " C2r " is a new form of environmental paper that is intended for recycling. Meanwhile, with "Recycle Color Paper 100" we have become the first in the world to market colored copier or printer paper made from 100% recycled-paper pulp.
Efforts such as this have helped increase the proportion of recycled-paper pulp used in Fuji Xerox copier and printer papers by a factor of 2.5 points from the 1999 figure, bringing the figure to 47.2% in December 2000.

Reducing Harmful Chemicals
Reflecting our concern for the environment, during product development Fuji Xerox tries to reduce as less amount and number of potentially harmful chemicals as possible that are used in production. You can read more about how we do this in the next section, "Resource Recycling System."
Environmental Technologies Development
Improving Products More Comfortable for the Office Environment
To avoid harm to the customer's immediate environment, Fuji Xerox takes great care to minimize the generated of noise and ozone.
♦ Ozone emissionsWith the DocuPrint C2220 we introduced the ozone-free technology that has reduced ozone generation to almost zero.
♦ NoiseMoreover, by cutting the amount of electricity used and optimizing the thermal diffusion of heated parts, designs can also use cooling fans with lower output. This greatly reduces noise during standby mode. As a result we've held the DocuPrint C2220's noise output to a remarkably low level, making it noticeably quieter than units made by other companies.
Our DocuColor 1250 multifunction color copier not only prints faster (50 rather than 36 cpm at the monochrome copy speed) than the previous A Color 936 copier, we have also managed to keep noise levels from rising much above 3 dB. During operation the drive and paper-feed mechanisms also operate quietly. This and other features have earned the Eco Mark for the DocuColor 1250, making it the first color copier to do so.
We also carry out ongoing research to reduce noise and evaluate its causes. Continuing to work toward ever-quieter operation, we have an active program of research and development.

Our products are manufactured with parts procured from suppliers. Therefore, we cannot make our green products without
cooperation with them. We request our suppliers to introduce environmental management system, because we ask their parts and
manufacturing process to reduce environmental impact. In addition, we try to enforce the recycling procurement activity aiming at
reuse and recycling of parts.
Enhanced Environmental Management System Among Suppliers
To ensure that the materials and parts we procure have minimal environmental impact, we prefer to obtain supplies from facilities that have received ISO14001 certification. This policy has encouraged a growing proportion of the large-scale facilities that supply us to work toward and receive certification. Additionally, we continue to promote the more complete compliance of suppliers with our own advanced environmental management standards.

Green Procurement GuidelinesOur "Green Procurement Guidelines" booklet informs suppliers as to how, according to our own standards for the control of harmful chemicals, we expect them to reduce harmful chemicals in both the parts we procure and the processes used to produce them.We ask suppliers to join us in going beyond domestic legal requirements by replacing harmful substances with substitute materials as they become available.
Guidelines for Recycling Procurement We have issued our "Recycling Procurement Guidelines" booklet to encourage suppliers to share our determination to recycle parts and materials. The publication is a recycling design manual that details each aspect of practical recycling that should be considered in the design of component parts.

We commit to promote 100% resource-recycling. Based on this commitment, we are also implementing 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) in packaging and delivery.
.Improve the packaging and delivery of products with quantitative environmental evaluations.
.Implement low cost recycling of "EPS" (Expanded Polystyrene) use as one of packaging materials.
.Reduce the number of vehicles by improving the delivery systems.
Packaging Improvement
Lifecycle Assessment of Packaging MaterialsFor the major packaging materials the company uses, Fuji Xerox employs lifecycle assessment (LCA)* to quantify, in terms of unit emissions of CO2, NOx and SOx, the harm caused to the environment. LCA is helping us shift to package design and packaging materials having less environmental impact.
*LCA is a method for comprehensively analyzing and evaluating the overall environmental impact of materials used in a product throughout its lifecycle, from manufacturing to use and ultimate disposal.

"Zero Carry" helping to cut the amount of packaging materialsTo cut down on the amount of materials used for large and midsize copiers during transportation between our major warehouses, beginning in 2000 we began using "Zero Carry" air-cushion shielding for our three main midsize products."Zero carry," by contrast with conventional materials, can be reused more than 50 times and still deliver a sufficient level of protection. Now we are considering to extend its use to deliver to the customer. We estimate that this new way of protecting products in transportation has cut by half the amount of packaging materials we use for our three main midsize products.

♦ Recycling Protective Materials for Toner CartridgesWe collect the EPS (expanded polystyrene) protective packaging material for toner cartridges and bring it back to the factory. We used to dissolve these materials and recycle them for use in different applications.Because beads made from recycled EPS were actually more expensive than new materials, we conducted technical research in order to achieve a further reduction in environmental impact. In the year 2000 we succeeded in establishing a disintegration/recombination technology that enables us to recycle EPS as a cost-effective packing material.Using this innovative method of disintegrating the EPS and recombining the beads, in FY 2001 we began shipping toner cartridges in protective packaging made from recycled EPS.
♦ Reusable Cartons Mean Less Shipping MaterialIn the past, when shipping spare parts we would use a cardboard carton for each part, which then had to be disposed of at the place of installation. But through the introduction of special collapsible plastic cartons in May 2000, we've saved 10 t of cardboard cartons.
Furthermore, for shipping consumables to convenience stores operating copiers, we designed and introduced a special box. Now, instead of receiving consumables in multiple regular deliveries, the store can get a full set in a single drop-off. This has saved 9.7 t of shipping cartons and, because separate deliveries of each kind of item are no longer needed, the number of trips has been cut to about one-fourth the old requirement.

Logistics Improvement
♦ More Efficient Use of TransportationTo reduce the number of vehicles needed for the delivery of consumables, paper trays and other parts for copiers and printers, we reorganized shipping within the 23 wards comprising central Tokyo. By consolidating partial deliveries and special deliveries, we introduced a shipping system on consolidation optimized by area. Thus we succeeded in reducing the number of delivery vehicles by 12%.

Fuji Xerox Environmental Vision : Advance towards complete "Resource Recycling" and "Zero Waste."
. Restrict the input of fresh resources.Through the Closed-Loop System, we promote maximal reuse of components and restrict the input of fresh resources in making new products.
. Reduce landfill disposal of used products to zero.Aiming to achieve "Zero Waste," we are developing processes to recover the maximum amount of resources from those that cannot be reused.
Resource Recycling systemThe "Resource Recycling System" are one of the core elements of our environmental preservation activities. Based on Environmental Vision, the aim of the system is to conserve energy while introducing minimum fresh resources. The ultimate goal of such efforts is to achieve Zero Waste, defined as zero net production of materials as landfill waste.
Company operations are organized in a Closed-Loop System that makes thoroughly effective use of resources. The guiding principle being that "rather than treating products as waste at the end of their useful life, they should be valued as a source of reusable parts and materials."Two main concepts structure our approach to making the Closed-Loop System of circulating materials a practical reality. One, referred to as "inverse manufacturing," is the basic way we try to minimize environmental impact. This means producing parts that can be reused or, if they cannot be reused, designing them to facilitate the separation and reuse of the materials that comprise them. We also use materials that have minimal environmental impact, and this overlaps with the other concept of "zero emissions," the central intention of which is to completely cut waste.Running operations according to this system has enabled Fuji Xerox to achieve the target of "zero landfill waste."

Recycling line at the Ebina facility: disassembly and screening
The basic concept behind the Closed-Loop System is to collect used products from the market, and then reuse or recycle all the various parts and components from these products in a closed loop, so that the input of fresh resources is restricted.Used products are collected from the customer, and then disassembled and cleaned at our plants. An integrated selection, repair and quality control inspection system is then used to supply those parts that meet strict QC standards to production lines so that they can be reused. In addition, as much as possible, we try to direct the materials generated from those parts that cannot be reused to the production of new components within the loop.The information gained from these processes provides feedback for our design teams to help them create more highly recyclable components, and thereby expand the use of such parts.By improving designs and developing more advanced technology, we aim to expand production volumes while simultaneously raising the recycling ratio.
http://www.fujixerox.co.jp/arm/index2.html
Toward a More Effective Collection SystemThe effectiveness of any recycling system depends on the collection of used items and transportation to processing centers. In FY 2000, we retrieved 97% of copiers sold on the Fuji Xerox direct sales route and 78% of those sold through agencies. Before we started recycling parts (1995), there was no need for a "reverse distribution system," so we had to develop new logistics in order to organize the movement of used equipment. We've been trying hard to optimize our efficiency while minimizing the environmental impact of trucking and other means of transportation. The first thing we did was to construct an information system to rationalize collection and transfer. Our UNICORN (Used-machine Nice Control Navigator) system divides Japan into ten control blocks. For each block it processes information about used equipment in stock and computes the shortest distance to pick up the amount of used equipment necessary to feed the production of reused parts.
We have tried to improve the rate of truck utilization and make the most efficient use of transportation by maximizing loads and other measures. In FY 2000 we managed to reduce truck journeys to 17% less than the previous year. Furthermore, to curtail the unnecessary consumption of new resources, when used equipment is collected we protect it with used packing materials.

Our concept of inverse manufacturing is composed of 4 main elements: product life cycle planning using LCA methodology; the creation of reusable and recyclable designs; the use of environmental impact assessments; and the Closed-Loop System.The heart of our recycling system is the "Closed-Loop System" that, based on the idea of recycling parts within a closed system, gives priority to the reuse of parts. To realize it, from the planning stage parts are designed to be reusable. Moreover, using environmental impact assessment procedures, we aim to develop excellent green products.
Inverse Manufacturing
Lifecycle PlanningWhen new products are planned at Fuji Xerox, the reuse of parts is given the highest priority. By the time a copier reaches the end of its working life of three to five years, it is natural to expect that it will be replaced by a new, succeeding model. This means we have to look ahead to ensure that parts are suitable for use in succeeding models.In 1999 we launched the Able Series, in which we ensured that, over two generations, about 40% of parts could be reused. Since then we have improved on that figure. In the year 2000 about 75% of all new models had parts that were reusable in the next generation.For our main models we will try to increase the number of parts that can be used in the succeeding models and extend reusability beyond the next generation.
Reuse and Recycling DesignRecycling design at Fuji Xerox, which aims to make more highly recyclable parts and components, is carried out based on Recycling Design Guidelines originally formulated jointly by teams of Xerox Group engineers from Japan, the United States and Europe back in 1995.These guidelines specified 130 separate requirements for good recycling design, including ease-of-disassembly, the use of common components, and the choice of materials. In addition, to increase the number of reusable components, we try to design them so that they are strong, have a long usable life, and can easily be separated.These efforts are supplemented by case study manuals that have been assembled to show designers successful ways of raising recyclability. A database of related information has been compiled, and a system is working to allow designers to share information and reflect the latest technical developments in their designs.To strengthen our cooperation with parts and materials manufacturers, we have also formulated specific Recycling Procurement Guidelines. This initiative seeks to help our development partner firms by sharing information on component longevity and via the joint development of repair technologies to make components fit for reuse. We are also helping those firms to whom we outsource production to benefit from our recycling design expertise by assisting them in incorporating reused/recycled parts, components and materials into production. http://www.fujixerox.co.jp/arm/index3.html

Environmental Impact Assessment
♦ Resource-Recycling ProductsUsing stringent internal criteria, we evaluate the environmental impact of our products throughout the various stages — collection, reuse or raw material conversion of components, manufacturing, and recycling design — of the Closed-Loop System. We have designated those copiers and digital copiers to meet all these criteria as "Resource-Recycling Products," and mark them with the label pictured to the right. ❇
♦ Product Eco-Data We evaluate environmental impact over the entire lifecycle of a product, from the manufacturing process and use through to disposal after its useful life. For each product we have started making available, in an easily understandable form, product eco-data for each stage: "manufacture," "use," and "after use."By using stringent evaluation methods such as LCA at each stage in order to assess the use of material resources, amount of energy consumed, CO2 emission and use of environmentally detrimental substances, we can ascertain when these factors are more prevalent at the manufacturing stage of materials and parts. The analysis of all these items allows us to reduce environmental impact by designing for the reuse of parts in which these factors weigh heaviest during production.We carry out these investigations of environmental impact jointly with Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc.

It is "zero emissions" to achive zero waste. That is why, based on a concept of a "Closed-Loop System," we give a high priority to the reuse of parts. Used copiers after the end of their service life, are collected and broken down by hand into 44 different types of parts. To thoroughly recycle resources, parts that cannot be reused are ultimately processed into useful materials. We have even been recycling rubber and glass materials that, until recently, were poorly recycled. In addition, working with materials manufacturers, for the first time in the industry we've developed a way to recycle a particular type of plastic into material that is of equivalent quality to fresh plastic. Endeavoring to minimize the input of new resources, we use these materials in our resource recycling system.
Zero Emissions (Product-Related)
Reuse of MaterialsPlastics are typically difficult to recycle because the quality of their material has degraded. We have jointly developed with Ube Saikon, a Japanese plastics manufacturer, a system that is the first in the world to be able to recycle the ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) resin used to make the external covers of copiers.Used covers that have been collected from the market are separated and then pulverized and cleaned to produce fresh ABS raw material, which is then used to make new copier.Quality control tests have shown that the recycled ABS plastic is as good as newly manufactured raw material in terms of its moldability, physical properties and color tone. These results have been independently validated in tests conducted by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., a safety-testing corporation based in the United States.We now used recycled plastic to make external covers for copiers — one of the parts where the strictest standards for visual appearance apply. Currently, it is being supplied to the production lines for the various DocuCentre 705/605/505 and DocuColor 1250 models.
We also used to remove aluminum copier drums from the used copiers we collected, and they have been used for other aluminum products. However, we standardized the material used in drum cylinders so that no custom additions would be needed. Then, in May 2000, with the cooperation of a materials manufacturer we set up a system for closed-loop recycling of the aluminum used in drum cylinders.Today, with regard to new drums we recycle all the aluminum recovered from the drums in the used copiers we collected.
Reducing the Use of Toxic ChemicalsTo reduce the use of chemicals that are estimated to be harmful to the environment, we have taken the initiative and formulated our own internal “Green Procurement Guidelines.” This places us ahead of Japanese and international legislation on this matter, as well as domestic industry standards. We have distributed these guidelines to all our parts suppliers so that we can ensure that no harmful substances are used or incorporated in the production of parts and materials, starting at the purchasing stage. Our technical development teams are also working to create alternative parts and materials where required.
So far, since April of 2000, we have used chrome-free galvanized sheet steel in all our new products. We have been using lead-free wiring in some new products since May of 1999. We also introduced lead-free lenses to some of our new products in April 2000. Further, we're going ahead with other plans, such as the use of lead-free solder and halogen-free plastics in all our products.

Resource Recycling System
100% Material RecyclingFormerly, when used copiers was collected for disposal, the main recycling materials were iron and other metals. But unrecyclable materials were landfilled for disposal. Now, Fuji Xerox is committed to an uncompromising "Zero Landfill Waste" policy. Beginning in the autumn of 1998, in cooperation with best 13 recycling companies all over Japan by using the latest technologies. After disassembling and sorting 18 t of parts from 100 used copiers collected at the end of their service life, we confirmed that it was possible to achieve zero waste.
Then, beginning in February 1999 at the Ebina Facility, as part of a systematic process encompassing collection to recycling, we made complete recycling a practical reality with a disassembly line in which parts that could not be reused were removed and dismantled for recycling.
In addition, to facilitate research and the proving trials needed to raise the efficiency of disassembly and material separation, we built "Ecoland" at Ebina Facility. This allowed us to process copiers that had reached the end of their service life in the Tokyo, Kanagawa and Yamanashi areas.
We expanded this "Zero Landfill Waste" system to cover the whole country. We built a network with 23 recycling companies with the same type of technology, which had proved effective. In August 2000 our recycling system was complete and we achieved our goal of zero landfill waste by completely recycling, all the materials except for some process loss in the used copiers we had collected from customers.

Support for Resource Recycling System: Information SystemsThe implementation of the Closed-Loop System to promote Zero Waste and resource recycling is dependent on the integration of various types of information. We have developed six major information systems to support our recycling efforts, which we are currently in the process of integrating fully.
Collection unit volume simulation system
Collectionlogistics control

Asset recovery streammanagement system
Recycling design database
Recycling-production mainframe system
• Collection unit volume simulation systemA special program uses past data to simulate estimated volumes of used and collected products, and their quality. This helps to make collection and recycling production activities planned and efficient.
• Collection logistics control systemProducts collected at all of our recycling centers in Japan are recorded in a database. This nationwide network helps raise the efficiency of sending collected products to factories, ensuring smooth logistics.
• Recycling-production mainframe systemBased on the results of the collection volume simulation and inventory data from the nationwide recycling network, this system determines and plans recycling production volumes several months in advance to help smooth out variations in collection rates.
• Recycled parts QC/QA systemBased on technical data on component quality control and longevity, this system, run as a database, sets strict selection criteria for reusable parts. It ensures that machines containing such are of equivalent quality to brand new machines.
• Recycling design databaseThis database, which is accessible via a company intranet, collates all the data and expertise on Resource-Recycling design. It allows all our designers to share information on the best methods in this field.
• Asset recovery stream management systemThis system manages the recovery of resources from used components that cannot be reused via the disassembly of collected machines on a unit basis. It manages material recycling volumes by category, thereby integrating the Resource-Recycling process to help achieve Zero Landfill Waste.

Reuse and Recycling of Toner Cartridges
Resource Recycling System
Goals
Results
.Ensure more collection of used toner cartridges and increase the number of reuse.
Closed-Loop System for Toner CartridgesAt an early stage we began recycling the photoconductor drums, cartridges and other exhausted consumables used in our main copiers and printers. In 1994 we established a Closed-Loop System for toner cartridges and built a recycling line to detach, disassemble, clean, inspect, process and rebuild cartridges. Recycled items are inspected and packed for reuse.Our efforts have paid off. By 1997, through the reuse of parts and recycling of materials from parts we were unable to use, nothing from our used toner cartridges was ending up in landfill environments. We had achieved zero emissions.Our designers have also been working to create cartridges from parts that can be recycled more effectively. Right from the planning stage, parts are developed for optimal reuse and recycling.In addition to technical efforts, we have implemented a distribution infrastructure created through our rental business. This has enabled us to achieve a high collection rate of 84% for toner cartridges. Moreover, 35% of the units we ship contain recycled parts.

Energy-Saving ActivitiesThe prevention of global warming is a critical issue on the earth. We are doing our best to save as much energy as we can at production.
.Achieve 1% reduction in CO2 emissions against the previous year.
.Cut CO2 emissions from energy use to half the 1990 figure by 2010.
Goals
Results
CO2 Emissions RecordIn FY 2000 we reduced CO2 emissions from our three manufacturing sites by 1.8% against the previous year. Total emissions, at 19,727 t, were down by 355 t. We also started implementing plans to reduce unit output by about 8%, improving from 0.102 to 0.094 t-c per ¥1 million. Year on year, this FY 2000 result was 96% of the figure for 1990.Most effective countermeasure to achieve these reductions is the switch from heavy fuel oil to kerosene. The rest are effective energy-saving measures, such as the energy-efficient air-conditioning pumps and the enagy-saving environmental rooms.
Operational Status of Solar Power Generation SystemBeginning in March 1999, we have been taking part in a jointly implemented solar-energy project under the auspices of NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization). The monthly amount of electricity generated varies greatly, depending on solar radiation. Thus, during FY 2000, our solar-cell system generated 81,400 kWh.Compared with energy purchased from a power company, we could succeed in saving 10 t of CO2.
Ice Storage SystemIn our active effort to save energy, by the end of the year 2000 we had installed four sets of ice storage system at our three manufacturing sites.In 1995 the equipment we introduced at the Iwatsuki site was the first ice storage system installed by a private corporation. We followed up with new installations in 1998. In FY 2000, by using electricity generated late at night, we reduced 22 t of CO2 emissions.
We aim to minimize both waste and new use of limited resources on the earth, and carry out the Green factories.

Zero Emissions Activities (at manufacturing sites)We achieved our monthly target of zero landfill waste by the end of 1999, after we tried to reuse/recycle all the waste generated within manufacturing site. In FY 2000, we set the amount of the waste materials generated as an additional new target, which was to cut the amount of materials that required recycling.
.Continue 100% recycling of all waste materials (zero waste).
.Reduce the amounts of annual waste by 3% against the previous year.
Goals
Results
Achievement of Zero Waste
All three manufacturing sites attained 100% resource-recycling on a monthly basis by the end of FY 1999. In FY 2000, 100% resource-recycling was achieved for these sites throughout the year.
Stored PCB*
Fuji Xerox stringently manages the PCB that it stores. Every two months, at each manufacturing site the stored materials undergo inspection. At the Iwatsuki site, for example, we maintain 58 drums in which we store parts from old generators (condensers, transformers, etc.). There are also eight condensers from electrical installations and 874 ballasts from old fluorescent lighting installations.This year we're examining ways to safely dispose of this stored PCB, and we anticipate solving the problem during 2002.
* PCB is short for polychlorinated biphenyl. It was formerly widely used as an insulating oil in electrical equipment.
Reduction of the Amounts of Waste Generated
In terms of the new reduction target for the amounts of waste generated, 5,967 t of waste was generated in 2000, excluding facility/machinery disposal due to the moving of a manufacturing site, which was 2.8% reduction against the previous year. Unfortunately, we could not reach the target of 3.0% reduction. We will cope with the reduction of individual types of waste carefully to achieve the 3.0% target of reduction.

Protecting Air, Water and SoilFuji Xerox carries out its own stringent measures to minimize environmental risk including air, water and soil pollution. If, for example, it were to become apparent that pollution has exceeded environmental standards, we would immediately inform the local authorities, publicly announce the situation, and take prompt actions to clean and restore, as best we could, the situation to its former state.
.Eliminate dichloromethane emissions completely, and reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulphur oxides (SOx) emissions.
.Save water resources.
Goals
Results
Use of Organochlorine Solvents Completely Eliminated
In 1997 we began phasing out organochlorine solvents (dichloromethane*). In February 2000, we completely replaced it in production processes with alternative cleaning methods.
With this, we have been able to eliminate the emissions of all the 13 major substances harmful to the atmosphere as regulated in the 1996 revision to the Air-Pollution Prevention Act.
* Also known as methylene chloride. Formerly we used it as a solvent and degreasing agent.
Cutting Emissions of NOx*1 and SOx*2
By measures such as switching boiler fuel from heavy oil to kerosene, we have been cutting the annual NOx emissions to 7.9 t, reducing by 1.2 t against the previous year.We also reduced SOx emissions by 0.5 t, holding the total down to 1.7 t. We could achieve substantial reductions for both NOx and SOx emissions.
*1 NOx is a general term referring to compounds of nitrogen and oxygen, a major factor in air pollution. Transportation is a mobile source, and stationary sources include power stations and factories.
*2 SOx is a general term referring to compounds of sulfur and oxygen. Major causes of acid rain, these gases are emitted during the combustion of substances containing sulfur.

Efficient Use of Water Resources
In November 1998, following the results of a survey at the Iwatsuki Center, we started work to remove soil and remediate it. This work was completed, according to schedule, in June 2000.Presently we're still carrying out both air sparging* and pumping up ground water for cleaning and return. This is rapidly returning groundwater to an acceptable state, and work is planned to finish during FY 2001.
* In air sparging, compounds are volatilized and extracted by pumping compressed air through groundwater.
At the Takematsu center we voluntarily carried out a year-long soil survey beginning in November 1999. As a result, we discovered some highly localized concentrations of arsenic and selenium that exceeded environmental standard. To get opinions on the health risk posed by these concentrations, we sent the survey results to a specialist organization in America and asked outside experts to analyze the situation after making an on-the-spot inspection. The verdict was that there was no health risk to people working at the plant or living in its vicinity.By the summer of 2001 we plan to complete soil-replacement work in order to return the soil at these places to environmental parameters exceeding those set in the environmental standards.We reported the situation to the relevant authorities and issued news releases. For local residents we held meetings to explain the situation. We also used our website to disclose information and explain the corrective actions to be taken.

Controlling of Hazardous ChemicalsDuring our operations we have to use certain hazardous chemicals. These still pose risks to the environment and have the potential to human health and cause disasters. To minimize risk, as well as implement our own stringent standards, Fuji Xerox is doing the disclosure progressively.
.Strengthen the control and minimize risks : cutting the use and emission of chemicals; increasing the use of yellow cards; and introducing the toxic substance auditing.
Goals
Results
Observing companywide regulations for the management of toxic substances established in 1999, an audit was implemented at the Corporate Research Center at Nakai, and Suzuka Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. (manufacturing subsidiary) in addition to three manufacturing sites: Ebina, Iwatsuki and Takematsu. The audit results were reported to the Fuji Xerox Risk Management Committee*2.Though toxic substances were managed well, we will continually improve to realize higher level management system.
*1 Here, a toxic substance refers to a chemical substance specified by the Toxic Substances and Toxic Substances Handling Act.
*2 Chaired by the President, the Risk Management Committee decides countermeasures after analyzing and assessing the degree of risk. It meets twice annually.
Toxic Substance*1 Management Audit
Following the PRTR (Pollution Release and Transfer Register) regulations of the electrical and electronics industry, since 1995 Fuji Xerox has been annually reported the management status of substances covered by PRTR regulations to the Japan Business Machinery Association.In FY 1999 the company used a total of 73.40 t of only eight of the 174 substances covered by PRTR.Dichloromethane, a recognized air-pollution hazard, accounted for 11.59 t of the 1999 figure. In the year 2000, however, we replaced organochlorine solvents and completely stopped using dichloromethane. As result, we eliminated 13 air-polluting substances which covered by PRTR. ❇

Yellow cards are issued to accompany inflammable substances and other potentially hazardous cargoes. The cards explain what to do in an emergency, such as a traffic accident, spillage or fire. Drivers usually keep these cards with them, in case they have to know, or explain to emergency services, how to deal with an emergency and what equipment is required.In April 1999, Fuji Xerox began issuing yellow cards when toners and developers for copiers and printers were shipped in consignments of consumables.In October 2000, the system was extended to include the used copiers that we collect for recycling.In our effort to ensure safety, we plan to introduce yellow cards for all trips made via our transportation channels.

Extension of Yellow Card System to Collection Logistics Control System
Fuji Xerox believes that the open disclosure of the chemicals information used in products helps to reduce risk. In May 2000, based on the principles of information disclosure, for the toner and other consumables used in our printers and copiers, we posted MSDS (material safety data sheets) on our website.In the 6 months since the posting of that information the MSDS pages were accessed more than 6,000 times. This shows many users have found them useful.
* To help users handle chemical products more safely, a material safety data sheet displays information such as chemical name, chemical product name, type of hazard, reactivity, toxicity, environmental hazard, handling equipment, safe handling instructions, emergency countermeasures and legal obligations. This indispensable information is arranged as a set of "instructions for the handling of chemical products."

Activities to strengthen the management quality of the entire Fuji Xerox Group involve parallel "improvement of management quality" as well as "environmental management." By extending them to the entire Group, we aim to farther improve environmental management of the Fuji Xerox Group.
ISO14001 and Management Quality Improvement ProgramSince the year 2000, one of the basic policies of the management quality improvement program has been "environmental conservation and social responsibility." Specifically, we decided on measures concerning the "environment" in 6 categories of the program. By developing the measures, we can harmonize "environmental management activities" with "management quality improvement."
Environmental ManagementEnvironmental Management
Environmental Audit and ISO14001In 1997 each of our three manufacturing sites achieved ISO14001 certification. Now, considering ISO14001 certifications a tool to achieve environmental management, we aim to acquire ISO14001 at the internal companies, and sales subsidiaries.
.At administrative sites in Japan (Internal companies and Sales subsidiaries, etc.), based on own judgment, progress toward ISO14001 certification.
.Achieve the renewal of certification by independent audit and certification organizations for all of the five sites currently certified.

Environmental Management
At Fuji Xerox our commitment to environmental protection was assured by the acquisition of ISO14001 certification at all the manufacturing sites in 1997.To ensure continuous systematic improvement of environmental performance (with quantifiable results), we have implemented three methods to get accurate feedback on environmental performance at each site: internal audit at the site; mutual audit; and, to acquire ISO14001 certification, auditting by audit and certification organizations.
Environmental Audit
ISO14001 Certification Audit by Outside Organizations
After attending external courses to acquire qualifications, the staff at each site conduct internal environmental audit. It is carried out regularly, based on the annual schedule of each site. As part of the internal environmental management system, reports are made to the managements at the site.
Internal Audit
External assessors, who have no direct relationship with the site being examined, carry out audit with a strictly non-partisan attitude. In a manner compatible with the system, audit is conducted with regard to legality and efficiency. This year we also added the audit of toxic substances as a category for attention.Naturally, the audit are carried out objectively. At the same time, through the activities of the assessors, the excellent know-how and policies at each work site are discussed. This helps to ensure group-wide levels of excellence.
Acquisition of ISO14001 requires extensive audit:• Audit to acquire initial certification• Surveillance after the first and the second year• Audit for certification renewal in every three years
Mutual Audit ISO14001 Certification Auditby Outside Organizations
♦ ISO14001 Certification Audit During FY 2000 five more group companies acquired ISO14001 certification. These companies are an overseas manufacturing subsidiary in China and four group companies in Australia and Japan: Xerox High Technology Company of Shenzen, Fuji Xerox Australia (Zetland), Fuji Xerox Distribution, Kanagawa Xerox, and Miyagi Xerox (March 2001).
♦ Surveillance and Renewal of CertificationAll the five sites where renewal of ISO14001 certification was due in FY 2000 passed the audit.
At three other sites that were under surveillance after the first year of initial ISO14001 certification, the evaluation was "improved."
❇ More information about ISO14001 certification status is shown on page 58.

Our commitment to the "green office" idea goes as far as consolidating and extending ISO14001 compliance to include administrative sites. Our activities consist of four concepts: collecting of office waste paper, reduction of waste, energy savings and green procurement.
.Aim to reduce the environmental impact during daily office work at administrative sites that have not been certified ISO14001.

Fuji Xerox is one of the core members of GPN (Green Purchasing Network), a private organization that continuously promotes the provision and diffusion of products that are designed with consideration for the environment. Among the many GPN events which Fuji Xerox attended are: • March 2000 • October 2000
Compared with the previous year, although the amount of purchased procurement and the number of items bought increased in the year 2000, the proportion of items was about the same.

Green Purchasing Activities
According to recycling level, in our green-box system we sort waste copy paper into three categories.Copy paper accounts for the bulk of waste paper that is collected. For a number of years we've been trying to cut the amount of copy paper we use by printing on the reverse side of copies, duplex printing and using electronic documents, including e-mail for memos. As a result the proportion of waste copy paper in our green boxes has been falling. Whereas 84.5% of our waste paper in 1991 was copy paper, in the year 2000 that proportion dropped to 63.4%.

Environmental Management
Environmental accounting has two purposes. It provides a management tool with which to assess environmental cost-effectiveness, and also serves as a way to clearly explain to stakeholders the status of our environmental efforts.
Goals
Results
Of the total expense invested, a large proportion--62.4% in 2000 and 60.5% in 1999--has been spent on product recycling activities, including upstream and downstream costs. This has set Fuji Xerox apart from other companies. Furthermore, 96.8% of the economic benifit is generated through recycling activities.The solid success of our effort to increase the amount recycled is reflected by greatly improved indicator values, such as a reduction in the amount of resources used. Although in FY2000 we spent 9.8% (+ ¥ 9.64 billion) more on recycling than the previous year, because this investment reduced the amount spent on new parts and other items, economic benefit generated was ¥ 8.17 billion, increasing 29.7% against the previous year. In other words, the increased investment has also brought a greatly increased economic benefit.

Improving Our Environmental Accounting System
♦ New computer accounting system introducedTo facilitate total-cost assessment and management, in FY 2000 the company developed and implemented a new computer-based system with which to calculate the results of environmental accounting.In this issue of the report, in addition to calculating results for each site, we compute the result for each business unit.
♦ More inclusive and extensive total-cost assessmentIn FY 2000 we extended the scope of total-cost assessment. Comprising the operations at about 200 sales and service bases in Japan, the report was expanded to include results for all the sites of Fuji Xerox.
Note: Values for NOx and water usage are figures for research and manufacturing facilities.

■ Calculation methodology
1. Period to which data apply: calendar 2000.2. Scope of data compilation: principal operating divisions of Fuji Xerox (parent company).3. System guidelines: "Guidelines for Introduction of Environmental Accounting Systems (2000 edition)," published by the Environment Agency of Japan in May 2000.4. Investment amounts: acquisition costs incurred during the year for all facilities, machinery, and other depreciable property purchased during the year.5. Calculation of depreciation costs:
① Costs include depreciation; methods used the same as in the rest of the company's accounting.② With installations constructed for regulatory compliance purposes that are within facilities designed to prevent pollution, all operating assets are counted.③ With facilities designed to save energy or conserve resources, the total of all operating assets acquired since fiscal 1995 is counted.
6. With costs incurred related to compound (environmental plus non-environmental) objectives, the costs of the environmental portion only are calculated, for example by a simple proportional assignment of costs.
7. The economic effects of environmental preservation activities (energy or resource conservation, recycling, etc.) are calculated as the savings plus any sums realized by sale of marketable items; presumed or estimated economic effects are not included in the analysis.
8. In the "environmental impact" column, reductions are counted as positive, while increases are bracketed and shown as negative.
.Encourage personal initiative toward environmental issues with improved awareness by the provision of basic environmental education to all employees.

Promoting Sales of Our Eco Mark Products
Fuji Xerox has pledged itself to conforming with and surpassing Eco Mark specifications: as of March 31, 2001 we had 63 products❇ entitled to the Eco Mark label. At the same time, in order to help our customers achieve green offices, we have sought to make people aware of the Eco Mark program, standards and products. Successfully conveying the benefits of environmentally friendly products, our nationwide PR activities helped sales of Eco Mark copiers to reach 50 % of the annual total of newly introduced products.
Collaborative Program
In this program, so that we can find quicker, more effective solutions for customers facing management challenges, we actively provide them with successful case studies, which are part of our knowledge resources.Responding to customer reguest, we endeavor to find clues with which to provide useful information, and eventual solutions, by sharing reports of case studies produced by our business experts and through dialogue regarding the themes they have chosen from the information disclosure menu.Some of the most popular menu items are "SFA (sales force automation)," "Document Information Sharing: Implementation and Use," "ISO14001 Certification Acquisition," and "New Personnel Management Based on Performance and Results."We have been receiving increasing numbers of visitors and participants in our corporate program. Among these, 40 % are senior manager. Moreover, 96.9% of the respondents to our questionnaire report that what they have learned is "useful to the improvement of business operations."

People are becoming more concerned about things such as the increasing incidence of skin cancer, faster aging of the skin and immune system abnormalities, all these being negative effects of higher levels of UV (ultraviolet) light due to the growing hole in the ozone layer. Thus, there has been strong demand for new methods of UV measurement, both from industrial users of UV technology and from people who seek protection from environmental UV light.Recently, crystal growth techniques have enabled the creation of a new material, GaN (gallium nitride) having excellent properties as a UV photodetector. Devices that use GaN can be set to detect only UV light, so there is no need for filtering or other means of eliminating visible light.Using an ultrathin photodetecting element that provides high precision in a device which can process and record data for long periods, it is now possible to directly measure UV light in places that used to pose a challenge.
For skincare and other applications, we have been developing products such as a handy UV monitor that can be carried around by people who suffer from skin reactions to UV.

Personnel SystemAt Fuji Xerox, we want to create a working environment that employees can feel their own value and growth as well as pleasure through their work. We seek to foster an environment that promotes knowledge creation and utilization, producing a corporate culture that encourages employees to challenge the development of their capabilities. Our personnel system plays a critical role in creating such an environment. Its aim is to develop our workforce so that we can adapt ourselves in the IT revolution and fast-changing markets.
Results
The Fuji Xerox personnel management system revolves around the roles employees assume, as dictated by business and operational strategy. Remuneration is based on the results people achieve in their designated roles, and is therefore a function of both position and performance. We seek to make this the basis for creating a new relationship between the company and individuals.
♦ Managing the development of employees’ skillsBusiness today has created more diverse work patterns and increased the need for specialist skills. We make it clear that there is a direct link between the results achieved and the ability of people to use their talents and translate them into quality actions.Our personnel development system is based on skill sets, or competencies, which we have compiled in a special handbook. We use this and other tools to help individuals develop their skills. We have also made the entire system more coherent and consistent by introducing skills surveys for employees so that we can assess how best to develop and assign people to jobs within the organization.

Employee Satisfaction Survey
Since 1978, we have surveyed our employees on a regular basis to ascertain their morale and judge the effectiveness of different personnel system aspects. These surveys cover a wide variety of topics related to employees’ satisfaction with their work. As well as finding out what sort of challenge work constitutes and the good and bad points of the workplace, we ask questions about people’s superiors and the organization. The surveys also cover issues such as leisure-time activities, attitudes towards promotion and meritocratic remuneration systems, and the incidence of sexual harassment.
Employment of Disabled Persons
Fuji Xerox is committed to giving disabled people opportunities to work. As of March 31, 2001, the proportion of disabled workers had reached 1.76% of the workforce.We will continue to promote the hiring of disabled persons until this figure reaches the statutory value of 1.8%.

Policies on Paid Vacation and Leave of Absence The combination of an aging population and low birth rates is forcing companies to adapt their personnel policies.Since they are composed of people and must function within society, companies have a responsibility to change to cope with the evolution of social issues. Accordingly, our personnel system aims to help all those who work at Fuji Xerox balance their work and family commitments.
Family care leave
Employees who need to care for family members afflicted by senile dementia or other serious diseases can take a company-supported leave of absence of up to two years.
Maternity/paternity leave
Employees with at least one year’s service who intend to return to continuous full-time work can take a leave of absence lasting for up to one year from the birth of a child. Employees may avail themselves of this system as many times as they wish, and it is also open to fathers.
Family care leave via shortenedworking hours
Employees who need to care for family members afflicted by senile dementia or other serious diseases on a daily basis, but who still want to work, can, for a certain period, be exempted from full-time work and have their working hours limited. Subject to a two-hour minimum, daily working time is then assessed on an hourly basis.
Maternity/paternity leave via shortenedworking hours
To enable employees to balance work and child-rearing commitments, a flexible working system is available to those who cannot work full time. This arrangement can last until a child reaches four years of age or enters primary school. Subject to a two-hour minimum, daily working time is then assessed on an hourly basis.
Other Personnel SystemsOur thinking is based on the concept that good employees must first be good members of society, and so a person’s life must be balanced between work and activities outside the company. To make such an equality into a reality, we have established a number of systems.
Additional contribution remuneration system
Based on the thinking that companies can only grow based on the humanity of their employees, we have a system that pays people additional bonuses based on an evaluation of their extracurricular interests and activities within the local community.
Half-day paid leave
We have a flexible working system that is not rigidly based on the rule that pay applies only to a full day of work.Employees are free to work out which way is most convenient for them, particularly with half-day activities such as hospital visits or attendances at school open house.
VBCP (Venture Business Challenge Program)
VBCP is an internal venture business system that began in 1987 with the objective of developing new businesses based on employee ideas so that individual creativity and talents could be maximized and new business opportunities could be found. The program has been widely publicized internally using the motto “You’re the President.” To date, VBCP has incubated and launched several firms, including a business software developer, a parts maker for prototypes, and a company that assembles electronic components.

Based on the safety and hygiene corporate philosophy below, we work hard to maintain the health and safety of all our employees through to preserve a positive work environment.
Hygiene, Safety and Health
■ Safety shall be the first priority throughout all our operations.■ Our basic thinking on health is as follows:
1. Health is an employee’s most important asset to live a full and fulfilling life.2. The health of its employees is also a vital asset for a company, since it allows them to use their talents, and to contribute to both business and society.3. Health is for employees to protect and for the company to help them in doing so.
Promoting Health
♦ Health ChecksAll employees at the company receive an annual health checkup. At bases with large numbers of employees the scheme conveniently schedules this checkup during the month of the employee's birthday.Employees who are over 40 can choose to undergo a more extensive health examinations.
♦ Health Consultations with Insurance PersonnelTo make sure our employees fully understand the implications of their health-check results, they consult with state-registered health advisors. Since 1996 we have steadily expanded the scheme: 76.3% (10,742) of the employees received the benefit of this health advice in FY 2000. This scheme enhances the general work environment: It improves mental health by catching the symptoms of overwork and encourages individuals to prevent the effects of high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol levels and other lifestyle diseases.
Activities at Manufacturing Sites
Safety & Hygiene Corporate Philosophy
Results
As well as carrying out safety policies tailored to the characteristics of each site, a company-wide Health and Safety Committee meets twice a year to decide overall policy and expand the excellent activities of a site to the rest of the company.In the year 2000 the Ebina Center received the Minister of Labor's Commendation for Excellence in Safety. The commendation said, "The safety and hygiene management that has been established at the Ebina Center, along with annual safety and hygiene management plans, includes other labor-hygiene management activities such as workplace comfort evaluation, the implementation of a chemical-safety assessment system, and MSDS (material safety data sheets) to actively make safe handling common knowledge to all workers.
Work-related Accidents
No serious accidents occurred during the year.The accident frequency ration in 2000 was far lower than the national average for Japan (0.55, compared with 1.80).
Furthermore, even while introducing spraying robots to prevent diseases caused by exposure to organic chemicals, to eliminate harmful organic solvents the company has been actively switching paint to water-based coatings."

Business Ethics Promotion Activities
Goals
Results
• In FY 1999 we carried out ethics training for senior management and managers.In FY 2000 we extended ethics training to about 12,000 general employees, nearly all of whom completed the training. • We conducted a survey of employee awareness concerning business ethics (results in table at right).From the survey it can be seen that employees who have had the training are aware of the need for proper conduct and sound judgment; also, that this conscious has spread to more people at more locations.
Informations for Our Awareness and Follow-up Activities
♦ Company intranetWe transmit information about things such as training and survey results on the "ethics" pages. Furthermore, we provide advice daily and follow up via the Ethics Consulting Service.
♦ Behavior Standards for EmployeesWe distribute a casebook that advises on standards of behavior for employees. The standards and 100 case studies are used when employees cannot about issues that arise make a judgement in their work.

From December 14 to 16, 2000 exhibition, Fuji Xerox took part in Eco Products 2000, which was held at the Tokyo Big Site and sponsored by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun and the Industrial Environmental Management Association for Industry. On the final day our booth was honored with a visit from Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori and Environmental Minister Yoriko Kawaguchi. Using images and displays, we were able to explain how, at each stage of the product lifecycle, the excellent way in which companies in the Fuji Xerox Group deal with issues such as "minimizing environmental impact" and "achieving zero waste."From responses to questionnaires by visitors to the booth we learned that the exhibition had let more people, who were not previously aware, know about our environmental efforts. We were also pleased to find that 93% of respondents expressed overall satisfaction with the display and explanation by the attendants. In addition to this event we exhibited at 11 other global environment fairs, including one at Shiga Prefecture Nagahama Environmental Business Messe.
Eco Products 2000 Exhibition
To enable local elementary and junior high school students to visit our facilities as part of their social-studies education, we organize annual environmental visits for schools. We welcome students to the production line to see recycling centers and solar energy in action, and to consider things such as energy-saving measures. At the Ebina, Iwatsuki, and Takematsu manufacturing sites, as well as the Nakai laboratories, we arranged 188 visits, including those by elementary and junior high school students, for a total of 2,368 people.In Japan the Basic Sustainable Society Act was recently passed. To raise public interest in the issue, on 71 occasions we arranged "open day seminars" that focused on materials recycling systems. Welcoming 1,409 people, our employees enjoyed a lively exchange of opinions with visitors.
Customer’s Visit to Our Manufacturing Sites
Fuji Xerox regularly runs advertising press campaigns in Japan promoting the use of recycled parts in production. The first campaign of this type, which ran in 1996, featured three separate executions of this theme. Good advertising of this sort not only publicizes our efforts, but also functions as an educational material in its own right. We therefore plan to continue using this media to deliver our message.

Fuji Xerox provides support for outside researchers, as well as aid to NPOs and NGOs. For employees we have implemented the "Social Service Program" (voluntary leave), and supported the volanteer activities of the "Hasu Club*." We hope to improve the quality of human life in the society.* The Hasu Club is a volunteer organization comprising approximately 4,000 members from throughout the Fuji Xerox Group. Hasu means "fraction," referring to the
voluntary contributions that employees make of odd fractions when their salaries are calculated.
.We are supported by our customers, local communities and countries in the world. To make the society better, we aim to continue our unique social contribution activities consistently which support all aspects in the society.
Results
The social contributions made by Fuji Xerox and its employees have been progressing on a broad front. Wide-ranging activities include technical and educational aid; support for social welfare, culture and art; volunteer activities and involvement with environmental preservation and protection; and local community development.In this publication we have chosen to focus on results that came from some of our main social-contribution activities during FY 2000, especially the Kids ISO14000s Program, the development of easy-to-use, universal design equipment, and environmental conservation activities.
Information about the company's efforts to make a social contribution is presented in the "Bridge Between Society and Employee, Company and Society," section of our website.
"Bridge Between Society and Employee, Company and Society"
Social Contribution Activities
Fuji Xerox participates in "Kids ISO14000s." Through effective education this project aims to ease the transition toward a lifestyle that's more in keeping with environmental imperatives.A program sponsored by ArTech, an international NPO of artists and technicians, "Kids ISO14000s" is intended to make children aware of environmental management and enable them to carry it out. In a trial conducted at three elementary schools in Tokorozawa City, using a workbook 101 children carried out environmental management activities during their school winter vacation. Consequently, they were able to see for themselves how much electricity, gas and water were used, and how much garbage was generated over a fixed period. Their work also contributed very useful data to the ISO14001 surveillance of Tokorozawa City.

To promote the employment of physically disabled people and boost the participation of senior citizens, society is increasingly demanding that products be designed so that they can be used by anybody. With the help of developers who had a passionate belief in the ability of their technology to help society in this way, we produced just such a version of the Able copier with universal utility specifications. This model received the Mellon Grand Prize in 1999 for its user-friendly design. A universal utility option, which can be ordered when a product is shipped, was also made available on the 28 models in the DocuCentre 400/350/250 series from November 1999.
In October 2000 we submitted a universal design specification prototype of the DocuColor to CEATEC Japan*2 as a reference exhibit. It was well received.To extend universal design features to other Fuji Xerox products, the Universal Club was launched. Sharing their knowledge of universal design and increasing their mutual understanding, many employees of Fuji Xerox participate in these club activities.
*1 Universal options are added to equipment prior to shipment from the factory.
*2 CEATEC (Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technology), sponsored by the Communications Industries Association of Japan, the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industry Association, and the Japan Personal Computer Software Association, is the largest IT-related trade fair in Japan.
Providing Universal Design Products
The Hasu Club organizes a number of activities for employees to lend a hand in protecting our precious natural environment. The group donates funds to environmental non-governmental (NGO), non-profit (NPO) and other volunteer organizations. It also organizes a number of regular events jointly with such groups.
♦ Nature field tripsSince 1993, the Hasu Club has been sponsoring field trips to allow company employees and their families and friends to sample the joys of nature in their local areas. The field trips undertaken in 2000 are listed below.

Examination of environmental report by auditorsThe results of company's business operations are disclosed to the public through our annual environmental
report. Needless to say, it is essential that items stated in the report are pertinent and reliable.
Since the Annual Report of the company is audited, we believe it is also important to audit our environmental
activities. Taking this viewpoint into consideration, we audited our Environmental Report 2001.
In terms of the validity and authenticity of the contents of the reports, we based our judgement on the audit
results of the previous year's report. In addition, we referred to the E&S committees' documents and reports,
and information gathered by participating in various environmental activities.
In our opinion, the Environmental Report 2001 accurately represents the environmental activities in the Fuji
Xerox Group.
