STRATEGY Leading the way in sustainability is the FUJIFILM Manufacturing Europe B . V .’ s centre of operations in Tilburg .
Sustainability at Tilburg Established in the 1980s , FUJIFILM ’ s Tilburg campus is home to FUJIFILM Manufacturing Europe B . V . and a large production facility for photo paper , membranes and cell culture media .
Among many things , the site is the largest producer of colour paper in the world .
“ That means that two of three pictures worldwide come from this factory ,” says Albert . “ Other competitors have stopped producing because it is a declining market , but we want to serve the customers . We still think it ’ s a valuable product , but we are aware it ’ s a declining market so we have to adapt .”
Sustainability was a key consideration at Tilburg from day one , and has continued to be a central tenet at of the campus .
“ Sustainability at Tilburg started early – it was a strong belief for us that if you want to produce in Europe , it needs to be green ”, Albert shares .
“ We became sustainable to contribute to a more sustainable world . But , in a more selfish way , it ’ s the only way to survive as an emerging company , because customers realise it ’ s important and the European Union is really aware – it determines which companies people do business with .”
Sustainability at Tilburg is consistently evolving , staying ahead of the curve and innovating to ensure it impacts every corner of the business .
