Business Summary

President

First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to the victims of COVID-19,
their families, and all those affected by the infection. I hope that by the time this Social andEnvironmental Report comes to your attention, you will be living a normal life closer to what
it was, while changing your lifestyle.
Now, I believe that the issue of COVID-19 has provided us with an opportunity to re-realize
the importance of continuous daily life.
Under such circumstances, Soshin Electric Group will continue to work on five possible
items in relation to SDGs (Addressing Sustainable Development Goals), for which efforts
are being made on a global scale. In addition, we will contribute to society by implementing
initiatives to create a sustainable world in our corporate activities.
Regarding quality compliance violations, which have become a problem in recent years,
we conduct a questionnaire specialized in this problem every year throughout our Groupto identify and prevent problems. However, in more than 80 years of corporate activities,
we have discovered problems that have been overlooked even though they do not comply
with the rules on a daily basis, and we report them to our customers whenever they are
discovered so as to correct them and take measures to prevent their recurrence.
We are aware that the trust of all our stakeholders, including not only our customers, butalso our shareholders and suppliers, ensures the existence of our Group.
We will continue to carry out our corporate activities in order to earn the trust of our
stakeholders and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

・Noise related
Needs are growing for countermeasures against disturbance due to noises arising in fields of industries such as semiconductor manufacturing facilities
and machine tools, equipment supporting our daily life such as air conditioners and elevators, and environmental facilities where load redution on the
global environment is anticipated.
Our EMC products have played a key role in many industrial fields as a solution for issues relating to noises generated in these equipment and facilities.
Furthermore, our range of business includes total support for customers such as provision of noise-measuring and diagnosing services on site (indesignated locations) or in our large radio-wave shield chamber.

・Car electronics, railway
Noise filters, capacitors, etc. are used in automobiles where high reliability is required. In addition, noise filters, LC filters,
and capacitors support safety and security in railway vehicles and railway operation management systems.

Environmental Report
O utline of Environmental Preservation Activities
We, the Group of Soshin Electric companies, have been trying autonomously to preserve theenvironment by setting environmental objectives and targets to accomplish the objectives.
◆ Activity report for 2019 and targets for 2020
【CO2 emission amount】

We achieved the target for reduction of CO2 emissions which was part of 2019 activities for environmental load reduction.
As an approach to CO2 emission reduction continuing from 2019, we will study a step-by step change over to energy-saving facilities including
lighting with LEDs in 2020.
Action will continue for productivity improvement, efforts to reduce losses and loads of facility operations and elimination of wastes through energysaving patrol.

【Amount of discharged industrial wastes】

We attained the goal of 2019 amount of discharged industrial wastes. We improve the recovery rate of law materials and reduce thre discharged
wastes in fiscal 2020. In fiscal 2020 we will try to improve the raw material recovery rate and reduce such wastes.

【Enhanced control of contained chemical substances】

Restriction and control of substances usable for products are getting increasingly stricter, as evidenced by the regulations related to phthalic acid
esters required by the RoHS directive and year-by-year additions by REACH Regulations of substances to be controlled.
We control such chemical substances in line with the latest regulations based on the Soshin Electric Co. Green Procurement Guidelines. To control
chemical substances contained in product component parts, we audit suppliers for their environmental quality to ensure adherence to the Green
Procurement activity.

【Environmental complaints and incidents】

In fiscal 2019, we had no complaints or incidents related to environmental matters. We will continue our activities for local environment preservation
to prevent any environmental matter-related complaints or incidents from happening in fiscal 2020.

We survey the contained chemical substances at the stage of part selection from the viewpoint of part life-cycling, in order to respond to thecustomers’s request to survey the contained chemical substances.

◆ Analysis with an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer

For parts and materials that may contain banned substances, we conduct a screening test using a fluorescent X-ray analyzer when they arrive in order

to confirm that such substances are not contained.

◆ Green procurement

The Group of Soshin Electric companies has proceeded with procurement of parts and materials with the minimum possible environmental impact by conducting asurvey of suppliers’ environmental quality and making sure that chemical substances were handled adequately.
Requests have been made to suppliers asking them to take necessary action to meet the requirements in the Soshin Electric Group Green Procurement Guidelines.

11Environmental Report

To prevent global warming, we tackled reduction of CO2 emissions as well as energy saving.
Domestic CO2 emissions in fiscal 2019 registered 6,639t due to an increase in the sales of noise-related products and thick-film PCBs and CO2
emission devided by the sales amount was 89.5t/100 million yen. Overseas CO2 emission in fiscal 2019 registered 553t and the CO2 emission amountdivided by the sales amonut was 67.4t/100 million yen.
Our target for CO2 emissions for fiscal 2020 is no greater than 6,773t (with the CO2 emission amount deivided by the sales amount of 83.2t/100
million yen).

Environmental Report

For preservation of the environment, the Group of Soshin Electric companies considers it imperative to make our society recycling-oriented. For this,we will promote “reduce”, “reuse” and “recycle” (3Rs) regarding the waste discharged as a result of business activities as resources.
Of 268t discharged in fiscal 2019, 166t was reused and 102t recycled with zero emissions continuing. Our target for the total discharge amount infiscal 2020 is 296t, max.
(* Our approach to zero emissions : Activities to reduce the final landfill (sales intensity) to 0.12t/100 million yen or less.)
Furthermore, we use no providers of waste disposal services other than those that have earned administrative approval so that disposal services will
be provided in compliance with relevant laws. Our control includes issuance of manifests (for control of industrial waste) and retention of disposal
records.
