CSR Foundation
In recognition of its social responsibilities and constant aim to enhance corporate value, the Yokowo Group has
established a CSR promotion system so that it can meet the expectations of all its stakeholders and carry out
reliable corporate activities, as well as expand its business activities as a trusted company.

Approaches to CSR

Three Priority Issues

The Yokowo Group will aspire to increase corporate value, andto both fulfill our responsibilities towards employees and ourshareholders, and contribute to the development of asustainable society.
To achieve these goals, we have put forth its Policy on
Corporate Social Responsibility and its CSR Code of Conduct,
which together define the “Orientation of Activities” and“Guiding Principles.”Themes extracted and analyzed using our materiality
identification process (→ P.20) are broadly categorized into
what are considered the three priority issues of “environment,”“local communities,” and “diversity and inclusion.”

Details of CSR Activities
The Yokowo Group has its origin in the manufacture of micro
precision components, and we are currently developing avariety of products that utilize our micro precision processing
and wireless communication technologies. As such, we aredeveloping business activities centered around the
manufacturing industry, positioning energy consumption andCO2 emissions as issues of utmost concern, and are thus
promoting our global environmental preservation activities.
We have also been actively involved in activities that contributeto local communities, including supporting the development oflocal human resources and the development of local industries.
At the Yokowo Group, as well as clarifying the ideas thatwill serve as the foundation for the further promotion of our
CSR activities, we have carried out a materiality analysis withthe concept of “Yokowo in 10 Years” in mind, and identified
three priority issues. We feel that actively working to solvethese problems will lead to the making our corporate missionof “contributing to a sustainable society” to realize.
Looking forward, we hope that our stakeholders willcontinue to consider that “Yokowo is a good company.”
To this end, the Yokowo Group will strengthen our initiatives
in non-financial fields, aiming to constantly increase ourcorporate value, and striving to contribute to the developmentof a sustainable society.

Diversity
Through the promotion of diversity and inclusion, the Yokowo Group is promoting the recruitment anddevelopment of human resources without regard to nationality, gender, or age, with the aim of becoming
Team Yokowo, a “sustainably evolving company.”

Approaches to Recruitment

Globalization of Human Resources
Organization

The Yokowo Group carries out recruitment based upon its
corporate vision of “a sustainably evolving company that
accumulates technology to contribute to society and meet thetrust of customers, and challenges the creation of markets as awhole. Yokowo is a company united in commitment todiscovering and creating new markets.” So that we can continue
to be a sustainably evolving company, our goal is to build an
appropriate personnel organization from a long-term perspective.

The Yokowo Group corporate vision incorporates the message
that “as Team Yokowo, by creating new products thatincorporate cutting-edge advancements based upon theGroupʼs proprietary technology, we want to be a company
that while evolving, achieves persistent growth.”
The Yokowo Group in principle enhances our workforce byhiring new graduates, however recent years have seen an
increase in the ratio of mid-career hires supported by strong
business performance. We are bringing together all employees
who sympathize with this message, regardless of new graduate
or mid-career hires, irrespective of gender, age, or nationality.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, mid-career hires
comprised 57% of the total company-wide, meaning that weare a company at which both employees brought up with the
Yokowo culture and those who have experience in othercompanies participate.
Central to our companyʼs ethos is a culture of “openness” inwhich new graduates as well as mid-career employees can
succeed, and this is an environment in which they are evaluatedfairly. In this environment, the accumulated experiences of each
person can be utilized in the company, and these are being
sublimated through free and open-minded discussions, thus
leading to the business evolution and technical innovations
necessary for a sustainably evolving company.

TISP ProjectAt the Yokowo Group, we are promoting the “TISP (Tomioka
International Specialist Park) Project” as a central part of ourdiversity and inclusion initiatives.
This project brings together specialists from around theworld (in product design, production engineering, elemental
technologies, quality assurance, production control, etc.) to ourmain plant̶the Tomioka plant (Gunma Prefecture). Hiring
criteria place no particular requirements as regards Japaneseconversational ability, and have a focus on expertise for midcareer hires, and potential for new graduates. Looking forward,
we aim to bring together 120 foreign specialists centeredaround the Tomioka plant.
With this project, we are actively recruiting foreign employees
living in Japan, and those living overseas. In particular at our
main manufacturing bases in China, Vietnam, and Malaysia, wehave in place a multi-year training program in Japan for new
graduate hires who have graduated from local universities inthose countries. For these trainees, we create an individualized
CDP (Career Development Plan) with which we provide
systematic human resource training, and many of the trainees
who have completed their training in Japan return to work intheir own countries.

Yokowo 2020 Integrated Report

The Yokowo Group reviewed its Medium-Term Environmental
Plan in 2014 and identified four issues that need attention̶
addressing climate change, management of water resources,
resource recycling, and working towards zero hazardous
chemical substances.
For this, Yokowo sets goals and activities to be achieved
each year.

Addressing Climate Change
The Yokowo Group is promoting a variety of activities towards
meeting the goal of a year-on-year 1% reduction in thegreenhouse gas (GHG) emission factor.
Through the promotion of employee awareness programs
as well as improvements to production efficiency and theintroduction of energy-saving facilities, we are seeing a yearly
reduction in GHG emission factor, however higher sales meanthat CO2 emissions are still increasing. Looking forward, we will
be working to reduce both GHG emission factor, as well as
overall GHG emissions.

Of the water used within the Yokowo Group, the majority isfor domestic-type uses. We are working to achieve our goal ofa year-on-year 1% reduction in water consumption, measured
by consumption per employee.
Water savings and use of recycled water enable a certain
level of reduction, but the reductions have bottomed out overthe last three years, and new activities are being investigated.
Additionally, we are monitoring the quality of plant
wastewater using our internal standards, which are more
rigorous than legal requirements. At the Tomioka plant, we arerecovering all hazardous chemical substances in discharge fromour galvanization processes, and have achieved zero emissions
into public waterways.
