What does it mean to be seen, heard, and understood? For many, this isn’t a given – it’s a fight. We believe in embracing the unique experiences that make each of us who we are. And the latest issue of our Women4Women magazine, brings this ethos to life.
This edition, Women4Inclusion, is truly special. Bigger than ever, it gathers voices of our employees and external contributors from all across the globe telling their journeys towards diversity, equity, and inclusion. These voices, from different cultures, backgrounds, and industries, unite in a common belief that true strength lies in the unique selves, each having a seat at the table. Their stories are raw and unapologetic. Each brings something deeply personal and transformative, showing what it means to live and breathe diversity.
You’ll meet people whose lives and work break down societal biases, those finding strength in their community, or those who had to hard-earn self-acceptance confronting prejudice and discrimination. They all remind us that identity is not something to be hidden or explained but something to be embraced fully.
“Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are not themes, but calls to action for each of us. The stories we find in this magazine release an incredible positive force, and it is this force that we must express to aspire to a better society,”
— Yoshiki Kimura, President & Managing Director at Fujifilm Europe.
“By shedding light on the stories of real people, exploring their experiences, and examining the effects of diverse and inclusive practices, we aim to inspire our readers, calling them to action. Within the pages of our Women4Inclusion, we will delve into various aspects of culture, habits, perspectives and actions that are key to achieving a more diverse and inclusive society. We firmly believe that sharing these narratives will challenge preconceptions, stimulate authentic conversations and ultimately pave the way for positive change at Fujifilm,”
— Luana Porfido, European Head of Corporate Communication & ESG Management, Fujifilm Europe GmbH.
Also, we are proud to feature photos of our X-Photographers — Valentina Tamborra (Italy), Dorota Kaszuba (Poland), Ewa Meissner (Poland), Karolina Jonderko (Poland), Silvia Pogoda (Poland) — as well as works of a talented photographer from the UK, Amin Islam McDonald. Their photos capture raw emotion of people on the margins with a striking honesty and frame diversity in its most authentic form, each bringing their unique style.
We invite you to take a moment, read these stories, and let them inspire you to look beyond the familiar, to recognize and value the full spectrum of human differences, and more than that — to join us fostering a culture of belonging where people from all backgrounds feel welcomed and valued. Inclusion doesn’t just happen because diverse individuals are present. It happens when people feel they are truly part of the team — and this is an ongoing journey we are all part of.
