We Contribute to Society throughWholehearted Manufacturing
Problems have emerged in recent years that jeopardize the futureof mankind, such as strained natural resources on a global scale
as a result of increasing population or global warming gaining
ground.
Similarly, in our country, conditions are such that the future isdiﬃcult to see, including problems surrounding energy in the future,
as restoration in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake is
not making headway as had been planned. Further, we areburdened with the critical issue of nuclear power plant accidents.
As a printed wiring board manufacturer, we aim to continue tocontribute broadly to society through our business.
Representative Director and President
The company motto of Development and Lasting Prosperity wascreated with the intention to express the concept of CSR itself inthe context of what a company is expected to deliver. We are
grateful that we have been able to continue our business as aleading company for half a century since establishment as it is in itself evidence that the society needsus.
All of our management and staﬀ members will continue to promote our business activities through our
motto of wholehearted manufacturing.

CSR Charter and Education of Human Resources
The CSR that we envision is based on the premise of how we would be able to contribute to society
through business, and in order to realize this, we believe that advancing philosophy and vision is an
essential theme to this end.
We also believe that as a starting point for a manufacturer, it is critical to be committed to the intricacies
of manufacturing and we would like to aim to be a company that continues to contribute to society byhaving all our employees devote themselves to wholeheartedly supporting manufacturing based on the
management policy of Quality First.
In order to clarify and advance this point to all employees, we have created a handbook that summarizes
information on items, such as our thoughts on CSR and basic knowledge on compliance. It also contains
the company motto as well as the basic principles and policies of the CMK Group in aneasy-to-understand manner. In addition, the company is setting the stage for globalization, by partly
revising the CMK Group Action Statement, included in CSR Charter, based on the international standard
ISO26000.
People are the power behind practicing wholehearted manufacturing based on the principles that havebeen identiﬁed. From this perspective, we have placed speciﬁc emphasis on cultivating human resources,
with the basic foundation being compliance, with which we educate all employees as we work on
reinforcing the basics of CSR.
Elsewhere, based on safety and security in pursuing product quality, we practice our business so that wewould be able to gain the trust of all our stakeholders through our business activities.

Future CSR Activities
As for the overall electronics industry, although market growth is expected to continue on a global scale,harsh business conditions are expected to continue in the electronics circuitry industry, in which ourcompany operates, as competition is expected to continue intensifying on the price and technologicalfronts.
Amid such conditions, from an even more global standpoint, we believe that it is necessary to promoteand develop our business with a broad perspective, while being completely aware of the connection
between CSR and business.
Going forward, while pursuing the premise of how we would be able to contribute to society throughbusiness, we will aim to be a business that will continue to contribute to society.

and industrial use arena

Printed Wiring Boards
A printed wiring board (electronic circuitry), which our company manufactures, is always installed in productsthat require electricity, such as automobiles and mobile devices.
The role of a printed wiring board is to serve as a base on which components are mounted, and further, tocommunicate electrical signals by connecting components together. Likening this to people, the role of theboard is like that of the bone, blood vessels and nerves and is thus an important element that makes up anelectrical product.
It is a product that is at the core of electronic and electric products, with the scale of its production among all
Japanese companies totaling over 1.3 trillion yen※.
※Production ﬁgures based on 2012 spot surveys by the Japan Electronics Packaging and Circuits Association (JPCA).

Printed wiring boards come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and types
Printed wiring boards can be divided primarily into single-sided printed wiring boards, on which circuitry isplaced on only one side, double-sided printed wiring boards, with circuitry on both the top and bottom sides,
and multilayer printed wiring boards, with multiple boards stacked together.
Multilayer printed wiring boards include boards with via holes drilled through all layers for electrical conductivity
and built-up boards with individual boards stacked together.
Moreover, we provide many diﬀerent types-including ﬂexible base boards that use ﬂexible base materials,
metallic base boards that can handle heat radiation and strong electrical current, and other types-to meet yourneeds.

■Double-Sided / Multilayer PWB
Double-face or multi-layer wiringboards that use piercing holes toconnect layers; base boards withe x c e ll e n t h e a t dur a b ili t y a n delectrical properties.

■PPBU
A standard built-up printed wiringboard that uses laser to create via
with excellent rigidity and reliability.

■CARFT■CMK−COMP

A high-functioning rigid ﬂexible baseboard that has a connector function
built in so that it responds to theminiaturization and thinning of mobile
devices.

A metallic baseboard that protects
heat-generating components with its
excellent heat-dissipating capacity,and its base can be selected,
whether it be aluminum or copper,
based on use.

CMK PWBs incorporated into a wide range of applications
CMK's printed wiring boards are used across awide range of applications.
While they are rarely seen with the naked eye, theye xi s t in everybody s daily lives, such as inautomobile-related products, including regeneration
brakes in hybrid vehicles, for which a high level ofreliability is expected, and engine ECUs as well as
mobile devices, digital cameras and other items
that are becoming more compact and slim.
In terms of sales by use, sales for vehicles make up
well more than half, and thus quietly supports theautomobile industry, a key industry in Japan.

TopicsBCP Training (YAMANASHI SANKO CO., LTD.)■Structure of the factory■Assumption made for the drill■Details of the drill

TopicsOur Group conducts training on BCP plans at every location.
Awareness on BCP is strong at YAMANASHI SANKO CO., LTD,
which is located in a more inland area compared with othercompanies within the domestic group. YAMANASHI SANKO, with asense of apprehension, is working on drills … ahead of a disaster.
Here is a portion of the drill that was conducted at the company on
March 26, 2013.
Two-factory structure: main oﬃce factory and NC factory
Assumed a large-scale earthquake with the epicenter ofthe earthquake in the Nankai trough(1) Tabletop exercise ahead of time (2) Evacuation/training
on conﬁrming safety (3) Ascertaining the status of buildings/
facilities (4) Launch of a local strategic chapter(Purpose of the drill)◆To improve understanding toward BCP and aim at mitigating disasters so that damage is kept to a minimum◆For each person to master activity patterns during times of emergency through actual drills aimed at learning
the procedures and methods involved in large-scale earthquakes, from the time of temporary evacuation toascertaining people s safety◆To check on the consistency between the actual drills and manuals, conﬁrm the validity of documents used
for compiling information, such as various checklists, and identifying challenges(Through BCP Training)First, we were able to conﬁrm physical safety, and compared with past drills, took the shortest time possible from the time people were guided toward an
evacuation route to the completion of a roll call.
Since there were departments that were slow to obtain information during the drill, we were able to share the belief that continuous training is important.
Because BCP was formulated by a limited number of members, we conﬁrmed that we would work on reinforcing the overall framework so that awarenessamong employees is heightened and that BCP policy and procedures are understood.
Going forward, we will continuously evaluate ourselves through drills and promote training so that each and every person can appropriately take action during
times of emergency.

Initiatives aimed at strengthening the compliance system■Renewal of the CSR Card
We partly revised the CMK Group Action Statement that outlines
our company s basic stance on compliance based oninternational standards (ISO26000, etc.) and also renewed theportable card for our management and staﬀ members.

■Issuance of the Compliance Handbook
We created the CMK Group Compliance Handbook in January
2013 to further strengthen the CMK Group compliance system
and instill our basic views regarding compliance in managers
and staﬀ members. This handbook begins with deﬁning
compliance and systemizes the company s policies as well as
identiﬁes basic actions that everyone needs to attend to, in a
speciﬁc manner, so that it could be understood by anyone. All
this information has been compiled into one book and posted on the
Intranet.
■ Development of basic compliance training for all employees
Regarding basic education on compliance, we conduct group training for
all domestic employees (2,133 people, which account for 99.8% of theemployees, took the training) from managers to general-grade employees.

Working with society−Environmental Protection−

Foundation of environmental management
Our company recognizes environmental conservation as one of the main management challenges, and assuch, to clarify our basic stance, we have built the foundation of our activities today by creating theEnvironmental Policy and General Environmental Policy as our Environmental Charter based on theManagement Policy formulated in January 1998.
Based on this Environmental Charter, we created the CMK Group Environmental Protection Activity
Program※1 and with employees united as one, we are working on realizing a society in which Development
and Lasting Prosperity are possible while coexisting with the earth by promoting various environmental
conservation activities.
Further, we have been stepping up our environmental conservation activity by building our own
Environmental Activities Management System (EAMS※2) starting in FY2011.
※1 Please refer to the Environmental Data posted on the company s oﬃcial website for details of theEnvironmental Protection Activity Program and its activities.

makes the best eﬀorts to all the business operationin order to protect the global environment.

The problems surrounding the global environment are
a common challenge for the entire world to realize asustainable society. To realize this, three activities
aimed at creating the society through the 3R s arenecessary, namely a recycling-oriented society thatlessens the use of new resources as much as possible
by recycling resources; a low-carbon society thatsaves energy and reduces green-house gas
emissions; and a symbiotic society that enjoys
nature s bounty into the future through biodiversity
protection.
To build these three societies, we have been
conducting environmental activities based on theEnvironmental Policy and General Environmental
Policy that were established as our company s
Environmental Charter in accordance with ISO14001.
Meanwhile, we built the EAMS to respond to customer
requests based on related laws and regulations going
forward and action that is required of the company inthe context of social conditions. EAMS consists of ﬁve
basic activities: system activities, communication
activities, educational activities, risk management
activities and evaluation activities. In addition, we willcontinue to be even more proactive in promoting
environmental activities through initiatives that merge
EMS activities with sites based on the ISO14001
positioned as the core.

Launch of the environmental governance survey
We conduct research, including ﬁeld surveys, in a bid tomaintain and improve the governance system by deﬁning
governance as whether each oﬃce is appropriately exhibiting its
supervision with regard to the organizational structure in thecontext of environmental activities, document architecture that
includes rules and regulations, and customary business.
We ﬁrst selected one site in FY 2012 and conducted a trial
survey.
This was broadened to include both domestic and overseas

Themes for FY 2012
Survey on conﬂict minerals
Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, called the conﬂict minerals
provision, requires the disclosure of whether four minerals (tantalum, tin, gold, or tungsten) that originate in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries located in regions where conﬂicts exist, areused in products.
Since our role as a company within the supply chain is positioned midstream, we respond to survey results sentfrom our customers and appropriately convey the information to business partners.
The result of working on the preliminary survey in FY 2012 showed that there were no minerals that would
apply as conﬂict minerals. Our company will further strengthen our initiatives in line with the CMK Group Action
Statement.

Relationship Between Business Activities and the Environment
By appropriately clarifying the resources and energy consumption necessary for our business activities and theresulting emissions of greenhouse gases and waste, we have carried out even more eﬀective environmental
practices.

In environmental activities, environmental risk management has been adopted from the 2007 ﬁscal year.

Environmental risk management
The Basic Targets for Environmental Risk Management
were established on May 15,2008, with construction ofan environmental management system getting
underway.
The applicable rules, including the establishment of anenvironmental risk management manual andenvironmental risk assessment management rules, arecurrently being prepared.

Since the trial in FY 2007, the number of sites that haveadopted the initiative has increased, with a total of 11
sites in FY 2012, and 600 risks discovered. Goingforward, we plan to move forward on creating a database
to centrally manage continuous monitoring risks.
Also, continuing from the previous year, we conducted anirregular survey on environmental risks in FY 2012 on the
backdrop of legal amendments and actual accidents tore-conﬁrm the risks that exist at each site.

From the perspective of environmental risk, we broadcast
information on enactments and amendments ofenvironmental laws that are related to business activities ina timely manner within the domestic group by usingv a r i o u s in f o r m a t i o n s o u r c e s t h a t i n c l u d e o ﬃ c i a lgovernment newsletters.
The information we collected is being included in the
Checklist for Compliance with Environmental Laws andRegulations, aimed at a thorough awareness of andcompliance with environment-related laws and regulations.
This checklist is
distributed to domestic group companies once a year.

Eﬀorts in Soil and Underground Water Preservation
Self-directed soil and groundwater surveys have been
carried out at all members of the CMK Group in Japan
since 1998, as part of the Group's environmental risk
anagement.
T h e s e h a v e b e e n b a s e d o n r e c o r d s o f chemica lsubstances used.
The survey revealed that the amount of chlorinatedorganic solvent in the soil and groundwater exceeded
standard values in several areas around the manufacturingsite, but puriﬁcation measures w er e immediately
implemented at the site, and no impact was observed
outside the land lot. We plan to continue regularobservation and management.
The phase-out of chlorinated organic solvents launched in1998 was successfully completed in March 2004 at all
domestic CMK Group companies.

Activities to control substances with environmental impact
For a corporation placed midstream in the supply chain, it is a given to comply with applicable laws andregulations in Japan and around the world that pertain to the control of Environmental Hazardous Substances
contained in printed wiring boards, and it is considered important to communicate information on Environmental
Hazardous Substances and environmental quality guarantees to customers. CMK has carried out activities tocontrol chemical substances under the rubric of EHS control since 2004.

EHS Control System
Along with adhering to laws and regulations, we created the EHS Control System to appropriately respond to
customer demands and to procure and use materials with reduced environmental loads.

Information sharing in the supply chain
In recent years, it has become increasingly important to communicate information about Environmental Hazardous
Substances contained in products. Coupled with laws and regulations and responses to demands for non-use ofEnvironmental Hazardous Substances, enhanced information partnerships in the supply chain have become essential.
Since CMK fulﬁlls the role of a company that is positioned midstream in the supply chain, we aim for collaboration to allow
us to communicate environmental information to both customers and business partners in the appropriate manner.
Regarding the materials and other products our business partners supply, we have asked them to specify [fourenvironmental data] in the standard and submit it.

Green Procurement Activities
At CMK, we promote green procurement activities to contribute to protecting the global environment and building a
recycling-oriented society.
Regarding green procurement in the context of evaluation standards used for business partners purchasedmaterials, we attach great importance to being environmentally conscious, in addition to focusing on quality, costs
and the delivery period.
We request our business partners to conduct a self-assessment on green procurement every year to conﬁrm that
customer demands regarding company s green procurement criteria are appropriately executed.
We also conduct on-site auditing once every three years, in principle, to further enhance control performance
among business partners. In FY 2012, we conducted onsite auditing of 11 business partners and were able to
conﬁrm that appropriate EHS management is being conducted. We have an in-house certiﬁcation system and train
EHS control auditors in charge of auditing.

Prevention of Global Warming
To reduce carbon dioxide emissions, a cause of global warming, CMK is promoting energy-conservation eﬀorts invarious business activities at both production facilities and oﬃces.
CO2 emissions in FY 2012 were 110,113 tons of CO2 for domestic group companies (13.8% Increase than theprevious year) and 75,165 tons of CO2 (2.7% less than the previous year).
We developed the CMK Group Low-Carbon Society Action Plan in FY 2012 as voluntary action over the medium tolong term for the ensuing years after the ﬁrst commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol (2008 through 2012).
We have also been involved in initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions in households. We produced the original CMK
environmental accounting book with examples of energy conservation in the household for distribution to all
employees. In FY 2012, 191 persons participated., Many of them told us that keeping the environmental
accounting book changed their thinking about energy conservation and global warming.

We established the Gunma Region Biodiversity Promotion Committee in May 2011 in Gunma region where our
key factories are located, and as part of our social contribution activities (voluntary activities), participate in the
Red Pine Ownership Plan run by Isesaki City.
Seeing that dozens of red pine trees were withering each year in the Hachisu Gongen-yama Park in Isesaki
City, the city government began calling for volunteers to overcome the current situation and help protect red
pine trees. In FY 2012, on three occasions, we worked on clearing the underbrush around 16 red pine treesthat our company maintains. Besides the Secretariat, employees, who were invited through an in-houseadvertising as volunteers, participate in this plan and are proactively working on protecting red pines.

Activities of CMK MULTI CORPORATIONCMK MULTI CORPORATION, located in the Kaetsu regionof Niigata Prefecture joined as a corporate member ofGreen One Hundred Niigata in 2012. The main activities,
primarily led by residents of the prefecture, include tree
planting during the 100 years in the 21st century. And byprotecting and growing the greenery, it promotes creating
a green legacy that the residents of the prefecture of the
22nd century would be able to inherit. During the ﬁrst
year after becoming a member, our company participatedin an event hosted by the non-proﬁt organization Buna
Tomo no Kai and planted trees on the grounds of theformer Gozusan ski resort that had been left unattended
for many years. We unloaded building materials needed torestore mountain trails so that it would be renewed into

Global human resource
Our company is proceeding with setting the stage for cultivating human resources in order to support corporate activities aimed at
globalization.
First, to promote localization at overseas sites, we are working on creating comprehensive education for local employees overseas by devisingan educational system and a one-year educational plan for overseas locations that reﬂects each company s actual conditions. This was madepossible by coordinating with local sites and using the educational system and a one-year plan used in Japan as the base. Also, we areplanning to conduct training in Japan for local employees who are managerial candidates at overseas sites. This is aimed at sharing the CMKGroup s sense of values and teaching management methods as well as initiatives used to bring about improvement. Further, as part of thecompany s work on cultivating candidates foroverseas transfers, we will adopt a system for
dispatching employees over a short term so thatthey would be able to learn about diﬀerent
cultures and improve language skills as well as
cultivate a broad perspective. In terms of hiring

For Development and Lasting Prosperity･ We aim to be a corporation recognized by society for fulfilling its responsibility asa corporate citizen.
･ We will maintain our position as a frontrunner in the industry through constantrenewal and innovation.

･ We strive to be a thriving company of proud employees and corporate excellence.
･ We are committed to providing a workplace that promotes trust among our

● CSR Report - Editorial Note
When mulling over the meaning of social responsibility, what comes to mind are the well-known ethics of conviction and ethical responsibility of Max Weber. The former prioritizes an individual s sentiment and intention,
while the latter is an ethical viewpoint that takes heed of the impact one s position and actions make on society,which are close to the concept of CSR.
This leads us to the diﬃcult challenge of ﬁnding out what type of actions and results lead to a question of
accountability in the context of social responsibility.
ISO26000 (guidance on social responsibility) issued in October 2010 has in fact pointed to views regarding thisquestion.
An interpretation of its details shows that the objective of social responsibility is sustainable development and inorder to achieve this, there is a need to be aware that the earth is ﬁnite and the needs of those in the next generation should not be threatened. In conclusion, this means that sustainable development will be out of the question if we lose even one of these arenas: the economic arena such as creating jobs; the social arena that holds
human rights and other issues in high esteem; and the environmental arena that protects the environment.
If we examine these three arenas closely, we realize that they are all related to what surrounds us in our day-today lives. Since there are more than just a few examples of how incidents have now turned into social problems,ﬁrst and foremost, it is important to confront society and this, in turn, will help elicit an understanding of themeaning of social responsibility and activities related to social responsibility.
It has been two years since our company started to use ISO26000 as a reference. We, as a company, work on
ways to confront social responsibility on a daily basis. Also, we have posted comparison table related toISO26000 on our oﬃcial website, so please take a look. We would be grateful if we could receive your candid
remarks.
