Introduction
As a producer of materials and positioned upstream in the industrial supply chain, Proterial Groupsees its efforts to protect the natural environment as a key responsibility. Accordingly, we pursue ourmanagement efforts based on the action policy of contributing to society as a good corporate citizen.
We also strive to protect the environment and to coexist in harmony with local communities.
With respect to the environmental repercussions of our products, we strive to expand our lineup of
eco-friendly products through eco-design assessments. A key part of these efforts involves minimizing
environmental impact at the stage of parts and materials purchases.
In particular, there is a strong and growing movement toward the increasingly stringent regulation ofchemical substances. Countries and regions around the world are enacting standards governing
harmful substances found in products. Examples include the Restriction of Hazardous Substances(RoHS) and End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) directives in the European Union (EU).
In response, Proterial Group has revised its Green Procurement Guidelines to make its green
procurement policies even more effective and to further promote the purchase of materials
characterized by low environmental impact.
Based on these guidelines, our procurement sections will actively promote green procurement
programs. This will require more than unilateral action on just our side. It will require comprehensive
efforts undertaken in partnership with all our suppliers.
We ask for the cooperation and support of all our suppliers in complying with these guidelines.

2.Proterial Green Procurement Concepts
2.1

PurposeThe purpose of green procurement and a key Proterial Group action policy is to contribute to society
as a good corporate citizen, to protect the environment, and to coexist in harmony with local
communities through the environmentally sound development, design, and manufacture of products
and the active promotion of green procurement, as described in these Guidelines.

2.2

Requests to our suppliers

The Proterial Group asks for suppliers’ understanding and support of Proterial Group’s Green
Procurement, and for their cooperation in the following:- Suppliers are requested to positively address environmental activities.
- Suppliers are requested to reduce the environmental burden of products delivered to the ProterialGroup.
The details are as below.

(1) Items related to the environmental activities of suppliers(i) Suppliers are requested to make, implement, and manage an action plan for Environmental
Management System (EMS).
(ii) In the case that the Proterial Group conducts an audit for green procurement, suppliers arerequested to fulfill the items specified in 4.2(1)(c) Items related to environmental protection activities(20 items).
(iii) Suppliers are requested to construct a system that properly controls chemical substances
included in their products.
(iv) We believe that obtaining international environmental certifications, such as ISO14001 and
EMAS, and Japanese environmental certifications, such as KES, Eco Stage, and Eco Action 21, isan effective measure for efficiently managing EMS. We therefore recommend that our suppliers
obtain and maintain these environmental certifications.

(2) Items related to reducing the environmental burden reduction of delivered products
To reduce the environmental burden of delivered products, suppliers are requested to comply with
4.2(2)(a) Reducing the environmental burden of delivered products (12 items).
EMS:
Environmental Management System; promoting business while systematically considering environmental protection
ISO14001: Composed of ISO registration bodies (International Organization for Standardization); an internationally recognizedenvironmental certification system
EMAS:
Eco-Management Audit Scheme; environment management system of the EC (at that time) enforced in April 1995.
KES:
Environmental certification system in Japan for small to medium enterprises, promoted by a specified non-profit
organization, KES Environment Agency
Eco-Stage: Environmental certification system for small to medium enterprises, promoted by a limited-liability intermediate
corporation, Eco Stage institute
Eco-Action 21: Environmental certification system for small to medium enterprises, promoted by the Institute for Global
Environment Strategies - Center for Sustainability(3) Items related to management of information on chemical substances present insupplied products
In order to use the presence of chemical substances in supplied products for work such as information
disclosure in supply chains, follow the instructions in Chapter 3 to report management and informationon the presence of chemical substances.
And if there is an agreement in contract or specification between suppliers and us, please comply
6with it.

3.Regulating chemical substances in suppliers’ products
3.1

Chemical substances regulated by the Proterial Group

Proterial Group uses the “chemical substances regulated by the Proterial Group guidelines” to classify
chemical substances contained in procured products into two separate categories, prohibited
substances and controlled substances.
■Chemical substances regulated by the Proterial Group guidelines

products might be restricted according to utility. For details,
see Separate table 2 or Attached list 2.

Note that the regulation factors (such as substance groups, control levels, and threshold values) mightvary depending on the operating division in the Proterial Group due to circumstances such as industry
trends. Pay attention to the division's requested items, and check the items accordingly.
In addition, we might request an investigation of the chemical substances used in the production,
storage, and transport stages before delivery (even if the substances are not included in the delivered
product) with the objective of conserving supplies. Suppliers' cooperation is also requested.

3.2 Warranty of non-inclusion of chemical substances in procured products
In the Basic Agreement entered into when trading materials, the Proterial Group requests our
suppliers to make certain considerations for the environment. Regarding chemical substances in theirproducts, suppliers are requested to conduct quality control by warranting the non-inclusion ofchemical substances in their products as necessary.
If non-inclusion of chemical substances in products is stated as a purchase specification requirementin the trade, documentations such as "Warranty of Non-Inclusion Concerning Banned Chemical
Substances in Products" (Warranty of Non-Inclusion) must be submitted to the Proterial Group as adelivery specification requirement.
7

"Non-inclusion" indicates that the following is rationally proved regardless of whether inclusion of thesubstance is intentional:- Certain chemical substances are not included, or they are included but at an amount less than thedesignated threshold value.

3.3 Guidelines for regulating information about chemical substances contained in
products (prohibition and control)
When collecting information about chemical substances contained in products, choose the best way
to do so from an economical and engineering standpoint.
Use of level 1 prohibited substances groups is basically prohibited according to regulations insideand outside Japan, so legally, their non-inclusion in products must be guaranteed.
For level 2 controlled substance groups, appropriate management of inclusion information is required
regardless of whether the substances are included in the products. Suppliers are requested to filereports in all cases; even statements such as "There is no information available that shows inclusionof the chemical substances" are to be reported when appropriate.

3.4 Regarding changes in materials and manufacturing methods, and information
about contained chemical substances
If any changes in materials, manufacturing methods, production location, major manufacturing
equipment, persons in charge of manufacturing, etc. are to be made for procured products, suppliers
are required to submit a notice about the details of the change and the scope of effect each time. In
addition, for information on inclusion of chemical substances, submission of a notice is mandatorywhen a new inclusion is discovered, or when previously-reported inclusions have changed.
