reorganized its previous structure for environmental conservation

by establishing the Ecology Center in 1991 and formulating its

for environmental conservation activities, in 1992. Toppan has

promoted environmental initiatives based on the declaration everBasic Principles

since.

1. We observe all laws, regulations and in-company rules relating to
the environment.
2. For the future of the Earth, we strive for the effective utilization oflimited resources and the reduction of all types of environmental
burden.
3. With foresight, we promote the development and widespread useof products that show consideration for the environment, andcontribute to the environmental activities of customers.
4. We engage in communication related to the environment with awide range of peoples both inside and outside the company, andstrive for mutual understanding.
5. We also take a proactive approach to environmental conservation incorporate activities in international society.

The Toppan Group targets the creation of a sustainable society

where all forms of life in the global ecosystem can coexist into the
future. In April 2009, the Group revised the Declaration on the

Global Environment into The Toppan Group Declaration on the
Global Environment, a new basic philosophy for environmental
activities applied to the entire Group. The revised declarationreflects Toppan’s more assertive approach to the conservation of the
