Fortifying Risk Management
In addition to fortifying all types of risk management in all phases of our businesses, we strive tostrengthen our management of environmental risks.

Strengthening the Implementation and Content of theGroup s Environmental Pollution Prevention System
The FDK Group conducts environmental conservation activities to comply with environmental laws preventing the pollution of environmental elements such as soil, underground water and air. The Fourth Environmental Action Plan promotes the deployment of strengthened activities in order to prevent environmental pollution and the violation of environmental laws.

Aim of the Fourth Environmental Action Plan
To strengthen the implementation and content of the environmental pollution prevention system

The FDK Group ensures pollution prevention and compliancewith laws and regulations by conducting regular internal environmental
auditing as a part of our environmental management system.

The FDK Group conducted surveys of soil and undergroundwater contamination with regard to VOC during 1998 and 1999.
Upon conﬁrming soil and underground water contamination atfour of our plants (the WASHIZU, SANYO, HOSOE and OSUKA
PLANTS) in October of 1999, the FDK Group publicly disclosed
the status of contamination and has been working on restoringsoil and underground water conditions. Conditions were restored
at the HOSOE PLANT in 2002.
We conducted a follow-up survey of the former OSUKA PLANT
property in 2004 for soil contamination according to the law
concerning soil contamination measures, and found the conditionof the soil to be totally restored. At the two other plants, wehave been cleansing soil and underground water utilizing the air
stripping method, and conducting regular monitoring to verify
the eﬀect of our restoration eﬀorts.

Social Activities Report

In addition to a detailed reevaluation of our compliance withenvironmental laws pertaining to pollution prevention in FY2007,
we also worked on establishing systems and responsibilities forcompliance with environmental laws and pollution control. In
order to clearly deﬁne the system of pollution control, we havedesignated a person in charge of pollution control at every site.
We plan on reevaluating our system for monitoring/measuring
and communicating information from the viewpoint of prevention,and, in addition, we will strengthen our checks for legal complianceand our system of pollution control through internal auditing.

Execution of Emergency Drills
At FDK Group companies, we conduct regular emergency drills
at each site to prepare for emergencies, including accidental
environmental pollution. Disaster drills implemented at eachplant take environmental contamination beyond plant property
into consideration.
