Achieving Sustainable Growth
Issues related to climate change, such as global warming and extreme
weather, have been growing in severity in recent years. In addition tothese problems, the birth rate has been declining in developed
countries, while international society also faces a number of othersocial issues. These issues include world population growth, foodshortages, securing energy resources, environmental pollution, humanrights, and poverty.
CMK Corporation is a specialized manufacturer of printed wiringboards. Through our business, we aspire to continue to contribute to
the greater society.
Our motto of Development and Lasting Prosperity was created with theintention of expressing the very nature of CSR itself, which all
corporations must observe. Since its foundation more than half acentury ago, CMK has been operating at the forefront of the industry.
This is the result of the continued support we have received from ourcustomers. We are grateful to know that our business is needed bysociety.
We know what we need to do to achieve sustainable growth andrespond to the needs of society. Motivated by the slogan ofwholehearted manufacturing, we will continue moving forward withour business.

President and Chief Executive Officer

CSR Charter and Education of Human Resources
We believe that CSR stands as a statement for what we need to do to contribute to society throughbusiness. To fulﬁll this aim, we must establish and promote a clear management policy and vision.
Beginning with our starting base as a manufacturer, we must consider manufacturing from the perspective of
our customers. They are our stakeholders, and it is essential we give them our full attention in order to
identify their needs. Operating under the slogan of wholehearted manufacturing, we have succeeded inencouraging our employees to change their way of thinking. We constantly listen to society, ask ourselves
what is expected of us, and seek to determine what we can do. Adopting this frame of mind, we aim to be a
corporation that continues to contribute to society.
To install this awareness and attitude within all of our employees, we will establish a system thatincorporates the basic philosophy and policy of the CMK Group, including the company motto. We also
intend to compile a compliance handbook that provides basic knowledge about compliance, which lies at
the heart of CSR, and make it known to all employees. In addition, we will also update part of the CMKGroup Action Statement in the CSR Charter, which is based on the international standard ISO26000, toprepare a system for globalization. In accordance with the policy we set, the driving force for practicalimplementation is people. We place special emphasis on cultivating human resources who can be active in
the global market, and capable of eﬀectively using IT technology to conduct education on compliance sothat our employees can learn the basics of CSR.
Likewise, we pursue product quality rooted in safety and security. This report introduces the diﬀerent
activities through which we seek to earn the trust of all our stakeholders.

Future CSR Activities
We anticipate future growth for the entire electronic circuit board industry within which our company
operates. This growth will be spurred by the needs for safer and greener vehicles and the widespread use ofsmartphones and digital appliances. At the same time, we expect the business environment to remain harsh
as global competition intensiﬁes in terms of pricing and technology.
Adopting a broader perspective within these conditions, we believe we must be fully aware of therelationship between CSR and our business, and work to promote and develop our operations on a global
scale.
We will continue striving to determine what we need to do to contribute to society through business, andaim to be a corporation that continues to fulﬁll this aim.
We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support in the future.

Recycling Resources

Corporate Governance

TopicsThere are a number of important steps in the manufacturing process of printed wiring boards, including
The electrode copper plating step consists of dissolving a high-purity copper metal ball, which is referred toas a copper ball, in an electrolytic copper plating tank. The copper plating, which is used to conduct

Topicselectrode copper plating and circuit forming.

electricity, is applied to the inner side of the hole (through-hole: TH) of the printed wiring board.
To make the circuits, an etching solution (copper hydroxide) is applied to an electrical conductive board. It
melts the excess copper to form an electrical circuit on the printed wiring board.
The copper oxide team at the plant in Thailand has been working on a recycling system. In this system,
copper is extracted from the etching waste liquid that is generated during the manufacturing process. This
copper is then changed into a more useful form like copper hydroxide, which is fully utilized as an alternative
resource for the copper ball used in the copper plating step. These steady efforts have paid off, andfull-scale operation has finally begun. With this system, we now have the means for recycling waste liquid.

Today, we are able to supply copper hydroxide to our affiliated companies. Our customers havepraised this system and have commended us in our efforts to establish it. It was extremely difficult
to build a recycling system to boost production, but we were able to construct it on our own
thanks to the careful thought and planning of all thestaff.
Finally, our copper oxide team realizes that
additional efforts to promote the resource recycling
and zero emission efforts not only contribute to thebetterment of our company, but also society as awhole. They intend to continue to working to help
improve our operations. Keep your eye on the work
being done by CMK Thailand.

Survey Conditions Survey period: April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014
Survey targets: Domestic CMK GroupRisks are inherent to company activities, and risk management grows more important each year.
In environmental activities, environmental risk management has been adopted from the 2007 ﬁscal year.

Environmental risk management
On May 5, 2008, our company established its Basic
Targets for Environmental Risk Management and began
to build an environmental risk management system. The
system is gradually being developed and expanded. At
the same time, we are also moving ahead with review ofour systems and documentation, such as ﬁxing stagnant
systems and revising our system for calculating andassessing risk.

In FY 2013, the ﬁfth year of this initiative, we detected
approximately 800 environmental risks. We determinedwhich risks were high priority, and formulated a plan toaddress them. Likewise, we also compiled a database forcentrally controlling the continued monitoring of risks.
Also, continuing from the previous year, we conducted
an irregular survey on environmental risks in FY 2013 on
the backdrop of legal amendments and actual accidents
to re-conﬁrm the risks that exist at each site.

Observing Environmental Laws and Ordinances
From the perspective of environmental risk, we broadcast
information on enactments and amendments ofenvironmental laws that are related to business activities
in a timely manner within the domestic group by using
various information sources that include oﬃcial
government 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 andregulations. This checklist is distributed to domestic
group companies once a year.
In addition to the conventional compliance check, in FY
2013 we also checked the status of compliance focusedon rules and regulations related to environmental
pollution standards concerning high-risk businessactivities in Japan and other countries.

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.
These have been based on records of chemical
substances used.
The survey revealed that the amount of chlorinatedorganic solvent in the soil and groundwater exceeded
standard values in several areas around the manufacturings i t e , but p uri ﬁ cat i on mea sures were immedia t ely
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
in 1998 was successfully completed in March 2004 at
all domestic CMK Group companies.

Activities to control substances with environmental impact
A variety of chemicals are used in the production of printed wiring boards. Among those used, there are substancesthat potentially contribute to the destruction of the earth s environment and damage our health. Our company believes
that managing these chemicals is a global issue, and has taken a number of steps to address this issue.
One way in which we do this is by labeling chemicals considered to substantially aﬀect the earth s environment andthe human body as EHS※. This label helps us to avoid using materials that contain these substances, as well as to
avoid using these chemicals during the manufacturing process. We strictly monitor and manage the use of thesechemicals and comply with the corresponding laws and regulations. We also respond sincerely to requests from ourcustomers and conduct initiatives that help us fulﬁll our social responsibility.
※ EHS stands for environmentally hazardous substances.

Our company is a processing company, and thus

important to convey information about chemicals.
In light of this trend, greater cooperation isneeded within the supply chain. Our company

General EHS Management Policy
１．Recognize the importance of chemical substance management in EHS
management activities, and establish and promote an organizational structurecommitted to this.
２．Promote activities that comply with laws and regulations, industrial standards
and customer requirements concerning EHS.
３．Promote commitment to the reduction and proper management of EHS andcontinual improvement in this area.
４．Build good relationships with suppliers and promote EHS management activities
throughout the supply chain.
５．Promote enlightenment and education activities concerning EHS management.
６．Evaluate EHS management performance and work to communicate this outside
the Group.

■ The Five Rules for EHS Management
Large posters featuring the slogan for EHS
management activities and the ﬁve EHS
management rules in English, Japanese,and Chinese have been distributed to all
production centers and other operations in
the CMK Group to enhance awareness ofand familiarity with handling of environmental
hazardous substances.

Slogan for EHS management activities
CMK never accept any prohibited
environmental hazardous substances
into CMK Group.

Five Rules for
EHS Management① We do not incorporate
the use of EHS in plansor designs.
② We do not purchase EHS.
③ We do not produce EHS.
④ We do not discharge EHS.
⑤ We do not skip any steps
in EHS management.

At CMK, we promote green procurement activities to contribute to protecting the global environmentand building a recycling-oriented society.
This initiative is consistent with green purchasing standards. In assessing clients and the materials
that we purchase, we place an emphasis on environmental awareness, as well as factors such as
quality, cost, and the delivery schedule.

reduction of CO2, reduction of waste, such as chemicals management.

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.
CO 2 emissions in FY 2013 were 111,119 tons of CO2 for domestic group companies (1.0% Increase than theprevious year) and 74,483 tons of CO2 (0.9% less than the previous year).
We have also been involved in initiatives to reduce CO 2 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 2013, 160 persons participated., Many of them told us that keeping the environmental accounting
book changed their thinking about energy conservation and global warming.

Surveying CSR（Corporate Social Responsibility）
initiatives at business partners

Feedback of analysis results

We have asked our business partners on a regular basis to conduct
self-assessments on CSR to conﬁrm the progress of their CSR activities.
This is the sixth survey we have conducted. In FY 2013 we surveyed atotal of 21 companies, and asked them for improvement in areas thatneeded to be addressed. We believe that each year this survey helps toincreasingly enhance our clients awareness of CSR activities.
This veriﬁcation process gives us an important opportunity to help ourbusiness partners understand our concept of CSR, and we plan tocontinue these activities while striving to enhance them.

Response to Conﬂict Mineral
In recent years, serious human-rights violations and environmental destruction have occurred in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo and neighboring countries. Some of the minerals that can be mined inthis area are said to be sources of funding for antigovernment forces. Our company cooperates with ourcustomers and clients to promote initiatives that ban the use of mined minerals (tantalum, tin, gold, andtungsten) used to fund these armed groups.

Response to tighter legal compliance including the Subcontractors Protection Act
To comply with the Subcontractors Protection Act, which protects the proﬁts of subcontractors in Japan, CMK is
proactively participating in the activities of the Fair Trade Commission and industry groups, ascertaining the latest
information on the Subcontractors Protection Act, and building up information at factories and subsidiaries in Japan.
In addition, in FY 2013 we began promoting the conclusion of memorandums of understanding on requirements forprevention of bribery to completely eradicate this practice.

Maintaining and Enhancing Information Security[Regular Activities to Promote Awareness]
Threats to information security are continually evolving and becoming more complex. To stay on top ofthese threats, we ensure our employees are familiar and aware of how to properly handle IT equipment andinformation assets. We also promote protective measures to counter threats through the internal newsletterand other publications on a regular basis.

[Inspection Based on Self-assessment Sheet]
We use a self-assessment sheet for information security to regularly conduct assessments and inspections.
These help us to determine whether IT equipment and the classiﬁed information we receive from customers
are properly managed and used. In this manner, we are able to conﬁrm that information security is
maintained. We also conduct reviews when needed, and implement corrective and preventive measures forrisk management. We intend to introduce these information
security eﬀorts within our aﬃliated companies in Japan and other
Information security self-evaluation sheet
countries, and then later expand the scale of these eﬀorts.

[Client Survey on Information Security]
Items related to information security are included in the survey
on CSR activities for our clients. We ask them to conduct
regular self-checks and make improvements when necessary. In
the future we will continue to share our approach to information
security, and work to enhance awareness and develop mutually
beneﬁcial relationships with our clients.

[Protection for Laptops and Smartphones]
We implement strict control measures to prevent device theft
and the leakage of information when devices are lost. These
measures include the installation of a strong authentication system on computers used outside thecompany, encrypting hard disks, and installing mobile device management (MDM) tools on smartphonesthat delete data, lock all operations, and pinpoint the location of devices when they are lost.

In-house audit on information security
Following our Information Security Manual, we conduct regular audits in the company to determine whether
the information assets held by each division are properly managed. If improvements need to be made, we
propose the necessary measures. These audits enable us to establish a means for managing information
security and enhancing operations.
