Fuji Xerox started to hold the “Summer Campaign” in 2003 to encourage employees and their families to be involved in environmental conservation activities. Social contribution has been added since 2007, when the company renamed the campaigns as “All FX Social Contribution and Environment Conservation Campaign”.

At Fuji Xerox we deem it important to support the employees’ voluntary participation in environmental load reduction and social contribution activities. The campaign in 2007 aims to provide ALL FX employees with opportunities for social contribution and environmental conservation activities together with their families, so that they become aware of how easy it is to take socio-friendly actions, and start to take such actions”.

Fuji Xerox endorses “Million People’s Candle Night” and has supports the campaign as a “Candle Holder” since 2007. We invited the employees of affiliate companies including overseas subsidiaries to turn off their lights for three nights from 20:00 to 22:00 on June 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, and to think about the global environment and take the opportunity to connect with their families. As a result, 2640 employees of 11 companies from Japan and 5 overseas companies and their families participated in the campaign. The overseas activities were taken up for news of “Million People’s Candle Night” as an exemplar.

In addition, the company participated in the second year of “Black Illumination” proposed by Ministry of the Environment. We realized lights-off in 6 offices and 21 affiliate companies, or a total 81 spots, (increased by 2 spots against last year) in Japan, and 9 overseas companies participated for the first time this year.

For energy-saving activities at employees’ households, 275 persons from 123 families fr0m 30 companies in Japan participated the project in 2007. Furthermore, individual activities such as road and beach cleaning, Satoyama woodland conservation, collection of old stamps and coins, sale of cakes made by the welfare facilities within the company, Special Olympics Convention/ activities support, nature tours and so forth were carried out in each company.

Regarding the activities, we are preparing to make opportunities to introduce the contents of the activities and deploy the administration know-how within the company, aiming for expansion of the campaign in 2008.
