Additionally, further examination of past data may lead to resultsthat differ from values given in past Environmental Sustainability
Reports.

With our foundation in the Sumitomo Business Spirit, we
will go on providing “first-class products” and services that
contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
I would like to say thank you to all our stakeholders: Your longstanding support and understanding of our Group's corporate
activity are greatly appreciated.
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group initiated theMedium-Term Management Plan 2016 (FY2014-2016) in theprevious fiscal year, so the plan is now in its second fiscal year.
The business strategy of the Medium-Term Management Plan
2016 declares these objectives:• Steady growth for the purpose of creating the foundation
for sustained growth• Return to higher levels of profitability• Persistent efforts for operational quality improvements
Our aim is to be a corporation that continues to provide "firstclass products."
One of these persistent efforts for operational quality
improvements is compliance.
As I understand compliance, it is not enough just to follow
legal statutes, or to follow in-house regulations or social norms. I
think compliance is responding to the societal demands that arein the background of those statutes, regulations, and norms. In
the current fiscal year, therefore, we have defined the following
thematic areas and are taking action accordingly:• Return to our starting point and engage seriously ininitiatives to improve operational quality.
• Engage in steady activity that mobilizes all our employees
to act together in promoting improvement.

The societal demands faced by corporations, including
the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group, are undergoingchange from moment to moment. However, the environmental
programs we have been pursuing in the Sumitomo Heavy
Industries Group, including our activities to prevent global
warming, have consistently responded to important societal
demands and have always been in accord with the "Sumitomo
Business Spirit."
Last fiscal year we started our 4th Medium-Term
Environmental Plan (FY2014-2016) based on the Medium-Term
Management Plan 2016. The 4th Medium-Term Environmental
Plan includes the following basic policies:• Promote environmental risk management• Contribute to achievement of a low-carbon society• Realize a resource-recycling society• Contribute to local communities and take measures forbiodiversity
Pursuing these policies, we will take steps to further
promote environmental activities at Group companies, including
those in other countries.
I myself have a very keen awareness of the importanceof environmental activities. The top management in eachbusiness division and every Group company as well as all Group
employees will conscientiously and steadfastly engage in specificimplementation of these activities.
In this implementation, we will place the greatest priority on
autonomous activities undertaken by each business division andGroup company to achieve the targets of the 4th Medium-Term
Environmental Plan.
Also of importance, as I see it, is for all the individual
employees who do the work of the various business divisionsand Group companies to learn with each other and from eachother as they pursue environmental activities.
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group will continue listening
attentively to our stakeholders and taking them seriously. We will
constantly pursue the effort to reform ourselves, without everstopping, as we steadily move toward realization of the Groupgoals.
We appreciate your opinions and advice, and we will bevery pleased to draw on them for our future initiatives.

society by holding fast to the “Sumitomo Business Spirit” and setting our sights on achieving a low-carbon society in 2020.

Contributing to the Prevention of Global Warming in Both Product Use and Production— 4th Medium-Term Environmental Plan Focuses on the amount of contribution to reducing CO2 emissions from product usage —CO2 emissions during production and during product use

Basic Policies of the 4th Medium-Term Environmental Plan

1 Promote environmental risk management
We will take steps to reduce environmental risks and aim to achieve zeroenvironmental accidents.
We will expand our environmental risk assessments to all our businessestablishments, including factories outside Japan, take steps to prevent
environmental accidents, and maintain our zero accident record.

2 Contribute to the achievementof a low-carbon society
We have long been taking measures to reduce CO2 emissions during production,and in addition we are reinforcing our activities to reduce CO2 emissions during
product use.

3 Realize a resource-recycling society
We will continue to reduce the amount of waste we generate and pursue zero
emissions.

4 Contribute to local communities and takemeasures for biodiversity
We will participate in local community activities in every region, and contributeto the protection of a diversity of organisms by afforestation at our factories andother such activities.

Relations with Society

Our Group’s 4th Medium-Term Environmental Plan has the achievement of a low-carbon
society as a major component. We are aiming for a 22% reduction in CO2 emissions fromglobal production and a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions from product use.
We have been taking measures for some time to reduce CO2 emissions during
production, and now we are putting additional focus on the amount of contribution to
reducing CO2 emissions from product usage. This will further reinforce our CO2
reduction activities working through both products and services.
“The amount of contribution to reducing CO2 emissions from product usage” refers
to the size of the CO2 reduction that we anticipate from the development of new
products with greater energy-conservation performance than the older products(FY2008 standard). In order to increase the amount of contribution to reducing CO2
emissions from product usage, we are setting fiscal year targets for the increase of thenumber of our proprietary environmentally friendly products and the expansion of oursales of those products. An overwhelmingly large part of lifecycle CO2 emissions for
our Group’s products comes during product use, at 96%. This amount must be
reduced. We will take steps to develop and popularize products with greater energy
efficiency. Our aim is to contribute to the realization of a low-carbon society.
Meanwhile, our efforts to reduce CO2 emissions during production are lowering CO2
from our factories in Japan every year. Our actual records show a 33% reduction from2004. There was also a slight reduction at our overseas factories, so when results inJapan and other countries were added together, we achieved our target. The 4th
Medium-Term Environmental Plan sets a global reduction target of 25% in FY2020,and calls for energy conservation at our factories outside Japan.

Relations with Society

In 1992, we established the Environmental Committee topromote environmental protection and compliance in local
communities. In September 1997, we established theSumitomo Heavy Industries Environmental Policy in order todrive home the message of environmental management.
In addition, in order to clarify the basic policy of activities
across the Group, we established the Sumitomo Heavy
Industries Group Environmental Policy in November 1999,
expanding environmental management across the Group as awhole including overseas facilities.

① Contribute to biodiversity

Our Group started activities to reduce CO2 emissions in Japan
in fiscal year 2005, taking 2004 as a baseline fiscal year. Fiscal
year 2014 was the start of the 4th Medium-Term Environmental
Plan, with the target of reducing CO2 emissions relative to fiscal
year 2004 by 32% by fiscal year 2016. This target value isequivalent to a target of 39% reduction relative to fiscal year
1990, which is the baseline year in the Kyoto Protocol.
In fiscal year 2014, we achieved a reduction of 33% (46%by basic unit) from the Company’s baseline of fiscal year 2004.
This is a reduction of 40% by comparison with fiscal year 1990,
and we have successfully limited CO2 emissions to an extent
significantly exceeding the target.
In other countries, we have set targets for improvement of
1% per year relative to the fiscal year 2013 figure in basic units,
which takes production increases into account.

Prevention of
Global Warming

Item

In the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group, activities to prevent
global warming are positioned as a part of environmental
management. The results from each business division are
managed on a monthly basis by the Environmental Management
Division and feedback is provided. The results are also reported
to the Executive Board at its quarterly meetings.
Each division in the Group promotes activities to prevent
global warming and is engaged in activities to improve a rangeof processes in order to further enhance the efficient use ofenergy and to “visualize” activities and initiatives through “theparticipation of all employees.”

For fiscal year 2014, we achieved the target value for theyear with a 7% reduction in emissions compared to fiscal year
2013.
The combined target value for Japan and other countries
was 146,000 tons, while the actual figure achieved was 138,000
tons, representing a 6% reduction from the target value.

Reduction of CO2 Emissions During Product Use

Promote technical innovation and sales
expansion in energy-saving products
Under the 4th Medium-Term Environmental Plan, our objective
is a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions during product use
compared to fiscal year 2008. We will take measures accordingly
for technical innovation and sales expansion in energy-saving
products. The reduction in CO2 emissions during product use
will amount to the equivalent of 270 thousand tons annually.

In Japan, our target for the amount of waste discharged in fiscal
year 2014 is a 13% reduction relative to fiscal year 2007. In fiscal
year 2014, we worked to increase the efficiency in production
activities, do away with waste, and limit the amount of metal
scrap and other such waste generated. As a result, emissions
amounted to 25,370 tons, which was a 25% reduction from fiscal
year 2007, and which achieved the target for fiscal year 2014.
The target for the amount of waste discarded was under 0.5%of emissions, and the 0.56 tons of waste discarded in fiscal year
2014 was only 0.002% of emissions, which exceeds the target bya significant margin. Furthermore, there has been a trend toward
lower and lower figures every year in terms of basic units, as well.

The SHI Group has defined factories at which the amount ofwaste disposed of as landfill as a percentage of total waste(the landfill rate) is less than 0.5% as zero emissions factories.
We have been promoting this program since FY2005, and as a

Relations with Society

In transportation, we have been making efforts to reduce CO2
emissions by eliminating waste and by improving efficiency.
With FY2006 as the benchmark year, we aimed to achieve a
8% reduction in the basic unit of transportation (t-CO2/weight)
in FY2014. Improved load ratio, modal shift, promotion of
the effective use of consolidated shipments and other suchmeasures in fiscal year 2014 achieved a 12% reduction. Also,in terms of total CO2 volume, the reduction was 37%.
In fiscal year 2015, we will pursue thoroughgoing
management of modal shift and other measures.

result in FY2014 we achieved zero emissions at all seven works
and all eight Group companies. We were also able to achievea zero emissions rate of 0.002% for the SHI Group as a whole,greatly exceeding the target. We have been continuously
achieving zero emissions since fiscal year 2011.
We are operating in other countries with the target ofmaking less than 7% of total waste go to landfill. We achieved
this target in fiscal year 2014 with an increase of 2.8%. In
terms of the combined figure for Japan and other countries,
the percentage of waste going to landfill was 1.5% in fiscal
year 2014. In order to achieve zero emissions, separation ofwaste materials by category for recycling is crucial. We intend
to continue with thoroughgoing separation of waste so as tomaintain zero emissions, and we will keep our aim on making
our factories kind to the global environment.

Measures to reduce environmental impact

Paper usage (A4 paper equivalent)TargetReducing Water Consumption

Water use reduction target achieved in Japan
There are limits to the volume of usable water resources.
Reducing water consumption is linked to the protection of
resources and reduction of discharge into public water systems,
and at the same time is also connected with the protection of
biodiversity. The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group has set the
reduction target for fiscal year 2014 in Japan at 35% relative
to fiscal year 2005, and we are pursuing this target. In fiscal
year 2014, we have continued to install visible water pipes(aboveground installation) in order to identify water leaks andeliminate waste. As a result, we achieved our target with a 43%
reduction relative to fiscal year 2005, and this also contributed
to cost cutting. We will aim for further reductions in fiscal year
2015. We have also been engaging in reduction activities inother countries since fiscal year 2010. The combined figure forJapan and other countries also shows a trend toward reduction.

Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group is strengthening environmental risk management and expanding theacquisition of ISO 14001 certification at factories outside Japan.

Complete Abolition of Organochlorine Chemicals

Emissions and Transfer of PRTR Substances

Stronger Environmental Risk Management

Continuing with complete abolition

Emissions reduced 42% in comparison withfiscal year 2006, a 37% reduction in terms ofbasic sales unit

Strengthening arrangements for tracking legal
and regulatory information and environmental
management systems in Group companies inother countries

Emission Control of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)

Emissions in Japan reduced 43% incomparison with fiscal year 2006, a 37%
reduction in terms of basic sales unit
Toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene in paint solvents account forover 90% of the VOC we use. Our goal is to reduce emissionsof these chemicals by at least 34% by FY2016 compared withthe level in FY2006.
In fiscal year 2014, the reduction reached 43% incomparison with fiscal year 2006 due to a variety of factors.
These include the introduction of solvent regenerators, theuse of low-solvent coatings, the adoption of detergents that
contain no VOC substances and reduction in the amount of
coating used. This was also a 37% reduction in terms of thebasic sales unit. Continuing from fiscal year 2014, measures tocontrol emissions in fiscal year 2015 will include expanding therange within which low-solvent coatings and detergents with
no VOC content are adopted as well as the use of powder
coatings. We will also make every effort to reduce waste andreduce the amount of coatings and other such substancesused, among other measures, in order to reduce emissions.
We have also begun activities in other countries, startingin fiscal year 2012, and achieved a 25% reduction in terms ofbasic units in fiscal year 2014.

Management of PCB (Polychlorinated Biphenyl) and Total Abolition of Equipment Containing PCB

Gradually upgrading and disposing ofstabilizers that contain PCBs
We have completed early registration of all equipment
containing high concentrations of PCB with the processing
company, Japan Environmental Safety Corporation, and weare undertaking systematic detoxification based on the Act on
Special Measures Concerning Promotion of Proper Treatmentof PCB Wastes. We are gradually upgrading and disposingof transformers that contain PCBs and lighting equipment
stabilizers that contain PCBs. We have also completed oursurvey of equipment containing low concentrations of PCBs,
and we are gradually moving forward with disposal.

Environmental Risk Assessment
Local environmental regulations and other such requirements
have been made more stringent at our factories outside Japan.
In order to comply with legal requirements, we are receiving
guidance from the authorities, and we are working to reinforce
our environmental management systems while adapting themto local characteristics.
In FY2013, we introduced environmental risk assessment
to our factories in China and Southeast Asia, whereenvironmental risks are relatively high. We are gradually
expanding environmental risk assessment of the higher risk
facilities at each of our factories and working to reduce therisks. This includes, for example, quality management of waste
water, standards-based management of emissions from paintfacilities, and control of oil leaks in machine tools. With this risk
assessment, we are promoting the horizontal deployment ofknowhow for dealing with environmental risk experienced in thepast by factories of the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group in
Japan.
Management Systems in China
By region, the largest number of Sumitomo Heavy Industries
Group factories in operation outside Japan is found in China,
which has eight. Special environmental management systems
have been instituted there. In order to provide centralized
environmental management operations for our Chinese
factories, we have established a department to provide overall
environmental management supervision at Sumitomo Heavy
Industries (Shanghai) Management, Ltd. as the base for ourGroup in China. A full-time manager has been assigned tothe department, which provides every factory with guidanceon environmental management operations in light of local
circumstances, including guidance on changes in local
environmental laws and regulations.
It is also the case in the China area, as in Japan, that wehold environmental management meetings twice every year.
These meetings bring together the environmental managers
from each of our factories in China to hear explanations ofenvironmental policy from the Environmental Management
Division of the head office as well as to present reports on
the environmental management situation at each factory. We
are taking these measures to raise the level of environmental
management in the China area as a whole.
From FY2013, we began to rotate the meeting venue
from factory to factory. The meetings are used not justfor coordination but to promote activities to strengthen
environmental management in more practical ways, such as bycarrying out on-site patrols of the factories that also look into
energy conservation concerns.

Relations with Society

Total abolition of ozone-depleting substances
We totally eliminated use of the ozone-depleting substance
HCFC-225 in fiscal year 2008, and that of HCFC-141b in fiscal
year 2010. We have maintained the total elimination of suchuse.

More than 90% of PRTR substances are paint solvents(toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene). In FY2014, we reduced thesesubstances by 42% of the level in FY2006. This also represents
a 37% reduction in terms of the basic sales unit. We will continue
to expand the use of low-solvent paint while ensuring that we
maintain the quality of our products. We will also install andexpand solvent collection and removal equipment to reduce
the emission and transfer of PRTR substances.

Environmental Initiatives

Complete abolition of substances subject to the Soil
Contamination Countermeasures Law
We are continuing our initiative for complete abolition ofdichloromethane, tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethylene,
which are organochemical substances covered by the Soil
Contamination Countermeasures Law.

Promoting Environmental Audits at Factories OutsideJapan
The head office Environmental Management Division periodicallyconducts environmental audits of factories outside Japan.
Since fiscal year 2012, these environmental audits atfactories outside Japan have been applying the same audit
standards as at factories in Japan. We are checking theenvironmental management activities at each factory in order toreduce the environmental risk to the same level as at factories
in Japan.
The audits are carried out at a frequency determinedaccording to the environmental risk of the particular factory
taking local environmental requirements into consideration. In
fiscal year 2014, we carried out environmental audits at 10 of
our factories in China, Southeast Asia and the United States.
When environmental audits are conducted, at the sametime we also give environmental managers and officers training
in activities for environmental accident prevention and energy
conservation.

Relations with Society

In order to reduce their environmental impact, Sumitomo
Heavy Industries Group factories in other countries are also
taking measures to reduce the percentage of waste disposed ofas landfill, setting their own environmental targets for reduction.
They have been setting their own quantitative environmental
targets for this purpose since fiscal year 2011, in the form of
reduction targets for the rate of disposal by landfill. In order
to meet these targets, each factory is separating waste andpromoting activities to raise the recycling rate as much as
possible.
Sumitomo (SHI) Cyclo Drive China Ltd. in Tianjin begansorting and collecting waste by category in December 2010.
They have been strengthening their waste management
methods for more rigorous implementation of sorting andcollection of waste generated within the factory.
Efforts to implement more rigorous separation ofwaste include improving the labels on waste receptacles.
Photographs of the waste materials actually generated at thatsite are attached to the top of receptacles in order to display
the separate waste categories in a more readily understandable
way.
This easy-to-understand method has been introduced as amodel waste separation and collection method at other Groupfactories in China and Southeast Asia. This has contributed
significantly to improving waste treatment methods in the
Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group as a whole.
We are also strengthening waste management every year
in order to prevent environmental accidents at waste storage
locations within our factories.
At outdoor waste storage points, we are placing fences
around rainwater inlets and taking other such steps to prevent
waste oil and rainwater contaminated by waste material fromentering the factory's rainwater drainage channels. Waste
management is being reinforced in such ways with a view topreventing environmental accidents.

Measures to Reduce Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)
Emissions at Factories in Other Countries
We are taking measures to reduce VOC emissions at Sumitomo
Heavy Industries Group factories in other countries, even atfactories where this is not legally required, as part of our own
activities to reduce emissions of toxic chemical substances.
Solvents used to dilute coatings account for 90% or moreof VOC use in the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group. The VOC
are emitted into the atmosphere during coating and drying.
VOC emissions are reduced by the operation of solvent
collection and removal equipment. We are also taking additional
measures to reduce the amounts of VOC used, for instance by
expanding the application of powder coatings that do not use
solvents and by adopting low-solvent coatings.
The coating factory at Sumitomo (S.H.I.) Construction
Machinery (Tangshan) Co., Ltd. (hereafter, Tangshan
Construction Machinery) in China is among the largest at
Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group factories in other countries.
It applies coatings to hydraulic excavator parts, completely
assembled vehicles and other such items requiring high coating
quality.
One section of a new coating factory that entered fullscale operation in the last fiscal year does not employ VOC
absorption treatment with activated charcoal filters at exhaustgas outlets, which is the usual system for VOC reduction.
Instead, we have introduced a waste treatment facility thatuses a concentration-incineration system.
As its name implies, this concentration-incineration system
concentrates the VOC in exhaust gases, then puts it throughincineration and oxidative decomposition. The amount of VOC
is kept at a low level in the discharge from this system. This
waste treatment facility also has an energy-saving function.
The heat from VOC incineration, for example, is further put
to effective use to reduce the amount of fuel used as a VOC
combustion aid.

Environmental Initiatives

Improving waste management at factories in othercountries
Factories of the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group in othercountries engage in more than complying with local statutory
requirements relating to waste management. They are also
working to lower waste emissions according to our Company
standards and promoting activities to reduce the rate ofdisposal by landfill.
Every overseas factory of the Sumitomo Heavy Industries
Group follows procedures with regard to industrial waste
at its location similar to those in Japan. They are required toseparate waste material generated by production activities andso on from general waste and handle it by various statutory
management methods.
These waste materials are referred to, for example, as
hazardous waste, and various requirements are imposed.
For instance, advance notification must be given of the yearlyscheduled volume of waste release, it must be discharged
to a waste treatment contractor with a government license,
management records must be kept of individual waste
emissions, and those records must be submitted to thegovernment. Every factory of the Sumitomo Heavy Industries
Group implements strict control of waste material in accordancewith laws and regulations at its location and the guidance of
local government.

Environmental Initiatives

Initiatives for Biodiversity

Relations with Society

The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group is engaging ininitiatives to protect biodiversity.
The Group has to date endorsed the biodiversity
declaration of the Nippon Keidanren (Japan Business
Federation) and we have joined the “Declaration Promotion
Partners.” In order to contribute to the protection of
biodiversity, we have been engaging in afforestation andgreenery planting activities.
Our Tanashi Works is preserving the Musashino Forest,
which occupies approximately 30% of the area of the
43,000m2 campus. This forest contains over 4,500 treesof 40 or more species, and 170 of the trees have been
designated protected trees by Nishi-Tokyo City. We havenamed a portion of these woods the Forest of Inspirationand opened it to the public.
Past wildlife habitat surveys confirmed the presence ofconsiderable wildlife in the forest, which is a stronghold forthe local ecosystem as well as a precious natural asset forscientific research.
In addition to the kind of forest maintenance activity
seen at the Tanashi Works, we are also carrying on
afforestation by means of the Acorn Plan as well as byexpansion and addition of green areas when redevelopment
work is done on the grounds of our factories in other areas.
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group has also been
contributing to the further protection of biodiversity bymeans of the LIME2 lifecycle impact assessment method
based on endpoint modeling, developed by the National
Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.
Using this method, we have performed quantitative
assessments of the impact that Group businesses have on
biodiversity.
As a result, we found that reducing the amount ofwood materials used would be particularly effective for
our Group, and we have been pursuing reductions in theamount of product packaging material we use.

Works■ Example of packaging material reduction

Seisa Gear, Ltd.

Specifically, we have been taking measures to simplify packaging andto adopt returnable shipping cartons to enable repeated reuse.
Reduction of packaging material is not the only measure we aretaking. We are also evaluating our former activities to determine whether
they have been activated and are in effect at our head office, branches,
works, and Group companies.
The evaluation items include afforestation, greenery planting, andgreen curtain implementation, water-use reduction, VOC reduction, landfill
disposal reduction, and utilization of renewable energy (electric power).
We are taking steps toward participation of all personnel in these andother such activities to protect biodiversity.

Students from Yokosuka Lower
Secondary Schools Tour Our
Environmental Activities
Our Yokosuka Works in Kanagawa Prefecture is taking
measures to reduce CO2 emissions and waste materials.
We are also actively engaging in communication with local
communities as part of our environmental activities.
In 2014, we invited local lower secondary school
students to tour the Yokosuka Works. They observed
the status of waste separation for recycling, toured ourwastewater treatment facility and water quality monitoring
system, looked at our environmentally friendly products,
and gained a deeper understanding of the environmental
measures we are taking at Sumitomo Heavy Industries.

Relations with Society

The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group takes active partin events held in local communities. The Niihama Factory
took part in the Saijo City Ofuki Area Friendship Sports Day
as part of the Ehime Prefecture Support Group Matching
Project for Healthy Village Development, with the aim ofregional revitalization. Many people here in the Ofuki area areelderly, and the sports days were suffering from a shortageof participants. Since the community also requested it, webegan taking part in the event from fiscal year 2011.
The weather was ideal on Sports Day in 2014, making
for a highly enjoyable and meaningful day-long event thatenabled exchange with residents of local communities andlarge numbers of volunteers.

Cleanup Activities
In the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group, we carry on
regular cleanup activities in the areas around our works.
We also participate in cleanup activities organized by local
government bodies and volunteer groups.
In addition to cleanup activities in the neighborhoodof our works, during fiscal year 2014 the Nagoya Worksand Sumitomo NACCO Materials Handling Co., Ltd. also
participated in the Adopt Program* organized by Obu City in
Aichi Prefecture, while the Niihama Factory took part in the
Adopt Program of Niihama City. All these activities involve
continuing engagement in cleanup of neighboring areas.
The Nagoya Works has been taking part in this Adopt
Program since 2004. In 2014, we held cleanup activities
in the area around the works on six occasions, with about
30 people participating each time. We are continuing thisactivity in the same way in 2015, as well.
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group will continue
with this commitment to beautification of the local
environment.
* Adopt Program: A volunteer campaign in which people designate a public facility, suchas a park or a footpath, and register it with the city. They then pickup trash, water the plants, and weed the designated facility so thatpeople will be able to enjoy using it.

Sumitomo Heavy Industries Environment Co., Ltd., exhibits
every year at an environmental exhibition in Minamiashigara
City, Kanagawa Prefecture. We also conduct an annual
environmental education event mainly for local elementary
students.
At the environmental exhibition in fiscal year 2014, we
gave a close look at water-related topics. This included
a microscopic display of microorganisms used in water
treatment, observation of waterside organisms and acomparative analysis of the calcium content of commerciallyavailable mineral water. We showed the organisms that live
in clean rivers and polluted rivers, explained the differences
between them and conveyed the importance of protecting
river environments.
We intend to keep up these activities in the future,and continue communicating to children the importance ofenvironmental protection.

Waste Reduction through the Use of
Recycled Plastics

Cleanup activity (Niihama Factory)

At the Link-Belt Construction Equipment Company, locatedin the state of Kentucky in the United States, the Maintenance
Department has started begun replacing over time wood
lumber with recycled plastic lumber for landscaping edging
and the Warehouse Department is doing the same with forwagon cribbing. The recycled plastic lumber will last much
longer than wood lumber reducing the amount of waste
which must be recycled or disposed of off-site.
