Last year, the 11th People and Environment Photography Competition received more than 15,000 submissions from all over the country. Students from more than 40 universities and photography enthusiasts from 337 cities participated in the contest. The event came to a close in a grand fashion. This year's contest will be held from June 5 to October 10, and the selection will be held in mid-November. The organizing committee will organize a jury of famous photographers, humanists, environmental protection and biological experts to select more than 100 works for exhibition. The authors will receive a maximum prize of 1200 yuan or equivalent prizes according to the awards. We also have the opportunity to be interviewed by the media and join the "Ecological Photographer Resource Bank". Our works will be recommended to the media and corresponding competitions.
It is worth mentioning that, on the basis of continuing the three major themes of "Landscape · Natural beauty", "humanity · Humanistic documentary" and "Biology · Ecological Vientiane", this year's competition has added a new theme of "Water-life flow", advocating photographers to pay attention to the important value of water in human life and culture, and using photos to reflect the restriction and promotion of water on nature. "Water" is also the natural resource that Fujifilm Group pays the most attention to, because "Fujifilm", known to many photography lovers, requires a large amount of pure water and air in the manufacturing process. Therefore, since its establishment, Fujifilm has made great efforts to conserve water resources through effective use of water resources, purification of waste water discharged by the company's factories and other environmental measures. Strive to achieve sustainable development of enterprises and ecology.
In "Sustainable Value Plan 2030" (SVP2030), a corporate social responsibility and CSR plan developed by Fujifilm, the targets for the 2030 fiscal year are specified. The contents related to water resources management include "reducing the water consumption of the whole group by 30% compared to the 2013 fiscal year", "by providing products and services for water treatment, To help society treat 35 million tons of water a year. As A phased achievement, Fujifilm received the highest level of certification in the internationally influential Water management survey and was selected from around 12,000 companies to be included in the CDP Water A List for the second year in a row.
In addition to conserving water, Fujifilm has also been making continuous efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in recent years. By the end of 2021, the company has released new emission reduction targets and plans to achieve carbon neutrality within the group by FY2040. To reduce the life-cycle CO2 emissions of the company's products by 50% by FY2030 compared with FY2019. To this end, Fujifilm Group has developed a new environmental strategy, the "Green Value Climate Strategy", to further reduce the environmental impact of corporate production activities (green value production), promote the research and development of products and services with excellent environmental characteristics (green value products).
In China, as a corporate citizen, Fujifilm continues to contribute to the environmental cause through various corporate activities: Since 1998, Fujifilm Group has been carrying out the desert greening campaign in Inner Mongolia, planting more than 51,000 trees and greening 345 mu of sandy land. A large area of "Fujifilm China Forest" is growing tough in the wind and sand, playing the role of wind and sand prevention. A series of green products and solutions, such as data streaming tape, completely process-free CTP SUPERIA ZX and digital inkjet printer Jet Press 750S, will also help the green development of the industry.
