Our website, www.fujihuntusa.com, was updated to include an environmental section that includes the environmental and quality policies for all locations including Rolling Meadows. A link to our National Environmental Achievement Track report is included on our website. Also to be included in the website is a phone number to call to request a paper copy of the report.
