Corporate Social Responsibility Report

Our Philosophy"Contributing to society by connecting people's lives and technology"
Upholding history and supporting the present as we look to the future.
Unitika - a company of the future.
Unitika started out as a spinning company at the beginning of modern Japanese industrial period
in 1889, and is currently transforming itself into a global company group centered on polymer
technology that precisely understands the needs of the present and the future as it continues to
evolve as a functional materials manufacturer.
Our philosophy to contribute to people’s lives and support their enrichment through technology has
been ever-present amidst rapidly changing social situations and environmental issues, and it will
never change.
Our role is to produce daily products and materials that substantially improve the quality of industrial
activities and infrastructure development, and to create a product group that leads to a future thatwill come from all of these.
Through our materials used for parts of life that are sometimes not visible, or through products that
directly connect with your lifestyle, we continue to provide reliable solutions to life in the present andthe future, as well as for the planet.

Corporate Governance
Basic Policy
Through our management philosophy of contributing to society by connecting people's lives and technology, we at the Unitika
Group aim to be a company with a clear social presence. We have worked to achieve stakeholder-focused management by
pursuing governance strategies that include the enhancement of legal compliance and risk management, the timely andappropriate disclosure of information, and the implementation of rapid decision making. The Unitika Group is confident in its
ability to maximize corporate value in an increasingly globalized environment, and to continue to grow, based on efforts at
establishing a management system that pursues these goals.

Structural Overview
Under the Companies Act, Unitika has introduced an executive officer system as well as an auditor system. We divide theoperational decision making/supervisory (governance) functions of the Board of Directors and the business execution(management) functions of the executive officers. In order to enhance the mobility and effectiveness of the management, we
promote cooperation between the directors and the executive officers, while most of the directors also serve as the executive
officers with some exceptions.
We believe that our governance system has is functioning as expected by means of the establishment of a voluntarycommittee, an executive officer system, external directors, and an auditor system.
As for the internal control system, we mainly collect information from inside the company and the group at the Risk
Management Office. We have also set up the Compliance Committee, for which the President serves as chairman, as well asinternal and external whistleblower contact points, that allow us to deal with such matters in a timely manner. In addition, we
are unifying information and strengthening our countermeasures by establishing a Chief Compliance Officer as the officer incharge, with a Risk Management Office under their authority, and a Related Businesses Offices for dealings with relatedcompanies.
Furthermore, we strive for thorough and general awareness of compliance through distributing the Unitika Charter ofCorporate Behavior and the Unitika Action Standards to our officers and employees of the group, while conducting training
with the Risk Management Office accordingly. We have also been distributing “Compliance Line Cards” to increase awarenessof the whistleblower contact points and to make sure employees understand the importance thereof.
Unitika regulates Basic Policy for Internal Control based on Companies Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act,as well as setting up the compliance/risk management system led by the Risk Management Office and various committees.
Under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, internal controls for financial reporting are dealt with mainly at the Audit
Office, while internal control regarding offices are set up at our key business branches in order to establish the corporate
framework for internal controls.

Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) Management
Unitika’s Environment Committee and Central Safety and Sanitation Committee are organizations created to oversee
environmental management, and health and safety management. The Environment Committee’s main functions are examining
basic plans on environmentally aware business and verifying their progress, discussing reports of results of environmental
audits of production sites and Group companies done by the committee secretary, and discussing other major items related tothe environment. The Central Safety and Sanitation Committee discusses measures to prevent work-related accidents andother accidents/disasters, and discusses other major items related to health and safety. These two committees are higher-level
organizations that oversee the Environmental Safety Groups of individual Unitika production sites and Group companies. They
play an important role in specifying and compiling Group policies when lower-level organizations propose and implement
measures reflecting their own unique circumstances.

Export Control
In the Unitika Group, export control managers appointed at our business sectors and group companies carry out the
management of the daily export operations under the Export Control Committee chaired by a director, based on the Export
Control Regulations. The committee administration supervises the situation while sharing information among the managers
regarding the management status within the group, as well as trends for the revision of laws and regulations, through the
manager conference held regularly. Also, in order to promote the acquirement of accurate information by our employees, we
disseminate information using the intranet and conduct training for each position in the group.

Information Security Management
Unitika set forth its “Information Security Declaration” establishing a management/operation system centered around theInformation Security Committee. This was created in order to outline approaches to ensuring the protection and effective use of
personal information received from users and of information obtained in the course of doing business. Unitika also strives toprevent accidents in our daily business operations through the enhancement of security devices against threats and risks,
including targeted attacks, by raising awareness through in-house education.

Unitika Information Security Declaration (Preamble Omitted)
1. We will take steps to ensure the security of information as set forth by our Information Security Policy.
2. We will create an information security management organization, and implement it in a systematic manner.
3. We will educate and train our directors and all employees on our Information Security Policy, working toprevent information security accidents.
4. We will work on improving our information security measures on an ongoing basis.
5. We will comply with all personal information protection laws and all relevant statutes and standards.
'Information Security Policy' refers to the documentation set forth and managed by the information Security Declaration, Basic Policy on Information Security,
Standards for Information Security Measures and Information Security Implementation Procedures.

AED training session
At Ako Unitech Service Co., Ltd.

While it had been established within the operational scope of the Sakoshi
Plant before, there was previously no AED in the special working area of
Ako Unitech Service Co., Ltd., which is located within the Sakoshi Plant,
and so one was set up there for the first time.
Employees attended a chest compression and AED course to coincidewith the delivery of the AED on Friday, June 14, 2019.
Because this equipment is not something that is used on a regular basis,
this seminar was a valuable opportunity to reconfirm the method of use.

Contributing to the Community and the Environment
The Unitika Group is seeking to protect the environment, preserve biodiversity and ensure solid educational opportunities
for children by disseminating information on a wide variety of topics ranging from local beautification drives and disasterreadiness programs, to woodland conservation and educational aid in developing countries.

Community-focused Initiatives
ECO Kyoto
Eco Kyoto 21 is a system run by Kyoto prefecture to certify and register production sites that play aleading role in environmental preservation or local recycling efforts. Unitika's Uji Plant is participatingin the system, and in 2004, was certified and registered in the system's Ecostyle category for
production sites and organizations engaging in highly original environmental awareness activities.

Participation in Local Beautification Activities
As part of their efforts to give back to the community, Unitika production sites actively take part in environmental beautification
drives to clean up their surroundings.
At the Okazaki Plant, 150 employees participated, cleaning the area around the plant, on Saturday, April 6, 2019.
At the Uji Plant, cleaning of the surrounding area was conducted three times a year through the project called the Clean Uji
Initiative. In fiscal 2018, the clean-up was carried out three times (Thursday, June 28, Thursday, August 30, and Friday, March1) with the participation of 704 employees in total.
At the Tarui Plant, the cleaning and weed-removal by 37 labor union branch members along the roads and waterways near theplant were carried out on Sunday, May 27, 2018, and the cleaning of the nearby roads was carried out by 18 labor union
branch members as part of the branch training seminar on Saturday, March 30, 2019.
At Unitika Textiles Ltd., a pizza-making event was organized by the company and the union on Sunday, May 26, 2018.
Participants made the one-hour journey to the venue (Noumaru Engei Kibiji Noen Farm) on foot after picking up garbage
around the plant.
In addition to our regular beautification activities, the employees at the Sakoshi Plant and Ako Unitech Service Co., Ltd.
participated in the cleaning of the surrounding area, as well as the cleaning of the central city area, as initiated by themembers of the chamber of commerce as a part of the Ako Clean-up Project on Thursday, May 30, 2019 (Zero Waste Day). At

Preserving the Environment and Biodiversity
Participation in Biodiversity Declaration
Unitika has endorsed the Declaration of Biodiversity released by KEIDANREN(Japan Business Federation) in 2009, and ispartnering with it in promoting the declaration. The declaration contains seven principles covering areas such as harmonizing
business activities with natural cycles, and promoting businesses oriented to these cycles. Unitika’s business activities aredesigned with an awareness of biodiversity.

Unitika no Mori ('Unitika Wood') Project
Unitika’s labor union, Unitika Union, established a volunteer fund in 1992 to develop a variety of domestic and international
support activities. As a project that commemorates its 30th anniversary in 2003, Unitika Union started the Midori no Plan('Green Plan') with the purpose of social contribution and environmental protection in Japan.
For the Midori no Plan, we planted Japanese chestnut oaks, konara oaks and Japanese cypresses in a 2 hectare area
(approximately 2.5 acres) of mountain forest that has been named Unitika no Mori, located in Hidakagawa-cho, Wakayama
Prefecture. Several times a year, Unitika employees visit the site to maintain the forest by clearing underbrush and pruning branches.
These activities have been officially recognized by Wakayama Prefecture as 'an effort that contributes to CO2 absorption throughforestation'. It is expected to result in about 800 metric tons of carbon dioxide absorption over the next 100 years.
“Unitika no Mori” was the first “corporate forest” in Wakayama, which was a pioneer nationwide in the establishment of suchcorporate forests. Unitika no Mori has received high praise for not only its woodland preservation activities but also its
contributions to revitalizing the local region by such activities as continuous interaction with the local people. In 2018 it wasawarded the Wakayama Prefecture Greening Achievement Award.
In September 2018, 27 of our employees joined the Midori no Plan training program and learned about the importance ofenvironmental preservation through being surrounded by nature. In total, more than 470 people participated in the project.

Disaster Prevention & Readiness Efforts
To prepare for major disasters like the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Tohoku in March 2011, disaster readinessmeasures are crucial both to fulfill the basic mission of protecting the lives of employees as well as to uphold the responsibility to
stakeholders of continuing business activities. In compliance with Japan’s Act for Promotion of Renovation for Earthquake-Resistant
Structures, the Unitika Group inspects structures and facilities of production sites. We also work to create self-supporting
emergency energy supply systems by providing for home generation facilities and working on production site energy conversion.

Disaster Readiness Training
The Unitika Group works on creating systems to prevent production accidents and accidents damaging surrounding areas,
while actively promoting training to prepare for accidents and natural disasters. To make internal standards for managing
safety at production facilities, Unitika has established a set of "pre-evaluation policies" on safety sanitation and environmental
effects at new facilities. As a disaster readiness measure when creating or renovating facilities, a total of two rigorous
inspections (during design and upon completion) are carried out in compliance with these standards.

Emergency drill(Union Co., Ltd.)At the Okazaki Plant, 400 employees participated in a large-scale integrated emergency drill on the “Disaster Drill Day at Plants”,
Friday, November 16, 2018. In addition to evacuation drills in preparation for an earthquake, drills in preparation for a variety ofcrises including the outflow of chemicals, fire breakouts, confinement and the cardiopulmonary arrest of employees were carriedout through cooperation between the headquarters for disaster control and the locations.
At other plants, too, we organize regular drills in the spring and autumn fire preparation seasons.
At the Uji Plant, separate drills were held for each division on announcement, contact, evacuation, rescue, early-stage firefighting,etc. The participation in fiscal 2018 was 811 people.
At the Tarui Plant, we held a hydrant water-discharge operating drill on Wednesday, April 25, 2018 and Wednesday, November
14, 2018. Two groups (total eight people) sprayed water with the fire hydrant on the plant’s outdoor field area. Then on
Wednesday, November 13, 2018, 145 employees from all divisions of the plant participated in the evacuation drill, evacuating tothe outdoor field area when the earthquake siren sounded.
At Unitika Textiles Ltd. on Tuesday, June 4, 2019, we conducted an emergency evacuation drill in preparation for an earthquake.The
drill included such things as getting under desks or between large machines from when an earthquake occurs to when the tremors
subside, evacuating while confirming the appropriate evacuation route on an individual basis, roll call to confirm that everyone issafe, etc. For evacuation from within the plant in particular, it is believed that evacuation routes are very important, and so each
person was made to confirm the evacuation routes themselves as they performed the work.
At Osaka headquarters on Friday, October 12, 2018, we conducted an emergency evacuation drill in preparation for an earthquake.
Union Co., Ltd. holds disaster preparation drills once a year. Until last year they were held in November, but in order to allow shift
workers to participate as well, this time it was held on April 26 (during a maintenance period when there is no manufacturing), and62 employees throughout the company were able to join in. Anticipating the occurrence of an earthquake, various drills (including
evacuation and assembly announcements, using fire hydrants for putting out fires, and providing emergency aid to the injured)and inspection of equipment were performed. Seminars taught by employees on such topics as how to use a fire extinguisher,
how to assemble a stretcher, and how to perform an LNG emergency shutdown, were also provided.

Preparation for large-scale disasters
Unitika established the Protocols for Returning Home which encourages our employees to stay in their worksites in case of
public transportation such as trains gets interrupted due to large-scale disasters, in order to prevent them from having
problems during their return home, or to prevent them from obstructing the operations of police officers and fire fighters. We
are also carrying out initiatives such as storing disaster equipment, supplies, drinking water and preserved food. We alsoestablished a system that allows us to handle requests for support from the people of local communities and local
governments.

Concern for Our Employees
Unitika's personnel system is designed to encourage employee self-actualization. We provide equal employment andwork opportunities, and make every effort to create accommodating workplace environments.

Personnel System
Unitika’s personnel system is designed to encourage employees to develop their careers and improve their abilities. It offers
several different educational programs to enable employees to work on their personal growth with a high degree of motivation
and an ambitious mindset. These programs are offered systematically and continuously to enable organizational growth andboost corporate competitiveness.

Personnel Rotation System
Unitika’s personnel rotation system is designed to enable systematic education of the human resources needed for theongoing running of organizations in accordance with the job level of each individual. It is designed to enable the careerdevelopment of each employee, to create synergy among organizations and to lead to better business opportunities andcorporate performance. Employees self-report the positions they want to be posted to, which are considered along with theneeds of the Company, providing the best possible understanding of expected employee roles and ability development goals,
and enabling more effective operations.

Evaluation System
Unitika’s evaluation system is designed to provide a more accurate understanding of the roles employees expect to occupy,
and to provide more impartial evaluations of the individuals producing the results needed to fill those roles. Employees are
given yearly performance evaluations that rate them based on their competency, ability, role improvement, attainment of
results, and job execution processes. They are also given twice-yearly performance evaluations in accordance with theCompany’s target management system. These evaluations form the core of an evaluation system that helps ability
development and education of each employee, is linked to pay raises, promotions and bonuses, and enables reliable
feedback through discussions of evaluation results with superiors.

Human Resources Education
Unitika provides our education system with the philosophy that raising the skills standards of all our employees leads to thestrengthening of the foundations of the organization. We consider OJT based on the career paths of employees as the core ofhuman resource development, and have established a system that more efficiently provides follow-ups for early-career
employees, as well as education and support for managers. For the OFF-JT (a system that supplements OJT), we haveenriched the programs for the improvement of management and problem-solving skills and understanding aimed at promotionof diversity, through position-based training, while increasing the “function-based education” options such as a sales group, atechnology development group, and a manufacturing group. Unitika will continuously implement the global human resource
development program that contributes to the promotion and strengthening of our global business development according to
the plan. We will also foster a global mindset, intercultural communication skills and language skills in our employees, andthereby promote the strengthening of our staff who can handle overseas-related work. We are also actively providing
self-development support for employees.

Utilization of Diverse Human Resources
Promoting Diversity

Return Employment System

In order to foster a corporate culture that allows diverse humanresources to thrive, we have established a “Diversity Promotion
Group”. We are implementing diversity training aimed at all
headquarters employees, and training programs divided byorganizational level, in order to deepen understanding andfacilitate the permeation of the concept of “diversity”. Throughthings like group work and opinion exchanges, we are working toreform awareness throughout all companies. We are also
distributing questionnaires so that we can take into account theopinions of the employees.
Promotion of women’s participation is one aspect of diversity
promotion that we are working on. In order to promote women’s
participation in the workplace, we feel it is critical to reform thecorporate culture. Based on this mindset, we are organizing
awareness reform training sessions for management (including
officers) and training seminars aimed at female employees, andthrough continuous training we intend to foster mutual awareness.

In the event that a full-time employee who has beenworking for us for three years or more is required to leave
the company for unavoidable family reasons (marriage,
child-rearing, caring for an infirm or disabled relative, theirspouse being transferred, etc.), and later that situation
changes and they are able to return to work, this system
grants that person a chance to come back and work for us
based on the mutual desire of both them and the company.

Reemployment System
At Unitika, we have established an “elder employee
system” that allows employees who have reachedretirement age to continue working for us energetically as
long as they have the aptitude and desire to do so. We
are working to improve this system constantly. Our elder
employees are making use of their experience andknow-how and thriving in a variety of our workplaces.

Work-Life Balance
In order to promote the balance between employees’ work and private lives, we have implemented “no-overtime days” toreduce the amount of overtime, and introduced both prenatal and postnatal maternity leave, caregiver leave, time off forsick/injured childcare, and time off for caregivers, all exceeding legal

but also cooperates with local employment agencies and welfare facilities in activities to provide self-reliance support topeople with disabilities. In October 2016, we were honored as an “excellent office for the recruitment of people withdisabilities” by the Osaka Prefecture Recruitment Development Association, and in September 2018 were awarded the“President’s Effort Award for excellent offices for the recruitment of people with disabilities,

Promoting Awareness of Human Rights
Raising Human Rights AwarenessElimination of forced labor and child labor

The Unitika Charter of Corporate Behavior that is distributed
to our employees upholds the respect for human rights. We
are working towards human rights awareness by setting up
a human rights awareness promotion organization andconducting in-house human rights training for our
employees including the CEO, executives and the CEOs of
our affiliates. As a member of the Corporate Report
Association of Human Rights Issue, Unitika works on humanrights issues in a variety of ways, such as by gathering
human rights educational information. Based on our
understanding that any kinds of harassment is considered aviolation of human rights, we have set up a support desk forsexual harassment, maternity harassment, and power
harassment at each of our offices and affiliates to raise thelevel of understanding and awareness of our employees.

Unitika Group companies and overseas affiliates have madedeclarations of their refusal to take part in any form of forcedlabor or child labor in violation of international agreements suchas the International Covenants on Human Rights or theConvention on the Rights of the Child. The Unitika Action
Standards document the Company’s refusal to permit thesepractices or human trafficking for the purpose of such practices.

Fair Recruitment Practices
Unitika has created the Unitika Employment Interview
Manual based on the spirit of the employment selection
guidelines issued by The Ministry of Health, Labour, andWelfare. We promote fair recruitment practices by
distributing the manual at meetings and training seminars forinterviewers and those involved in the selection process, andensuring that all concerned are familiar with its contents.

History of Environmental Preservation Activities
Unitika's Environmental
Preservation Activity History
Unitika's work on environmental management hascontinued uninterrupted for over 40 years, and willcontinue into the future.
Pollution first became a major issue in Japan in 1973. That
year, Unitika created the Environmental Preservation
Regulations, making a clear distinction between
environmental measures and outward-directed production
activities, to enable compliance with regulatory andstandards values.
In 1991, we created a new companywide organization
called the Environmental Preservation Committee, followed
in 1993 by the Unitika Global Environment Charter. That
year we began yearly environmental auditing, establishing
the basic direction for our environmentally-aware
management style that has continued to this day. In 1998,
we created the Unitika Charter of Corporate Behavior, adocument that sets forth the basic action policy needed tofulfill our Unitika Group mission as a public-spirited
corporation. Its first article sets forth our responsibility forenvironmental and safety awareness.
The Unitika Action Standards created and implemented in
April 2001 expanded on the Unitika Action Charter by
setting forth specific action standards for Unitika
organizations and employees to comply with in theperformance of their routine business activities. The Unitika
Action Standards represent a clear step toward corporate
activities grounded in a mindset of corporate social
responsibility (CSR). They cover areas such as theenvironment, safety, compliance, and coexistence with the
public good and stakeholders.

Medium-Term Environmental Plan
Last year, The Unitika Group initiated the 8th Medium-Term Environmental Plan, setting fiscal 2020 as the last target year. In
the 7th Medium-Term Environmental Plan, the amount of waste disposed of outside of industrial waste sites and the recycling
rate were far from the target due to such factors as China’s import ban on recyclable plastics, etc. The situation has notchanged in the “8th Medium-Term Environmental Targets”, but due to such efforts as the separation of waste plastics asvaluable resources, the amount of disposal outside of industrial waste sites is approximately 100 metric tons lower than theprevious fiscal year. Going forward we will continue to proactively advance the environment goals.
In a fire accident that occurred at the Uji Plant in January 2019, we caused great inconvenience and concern for everyone, butplease be assured that there have not been any environmental pollution accidents associated with this fire.

Biomass Materials (Polylactic Acid)
Is it true that tooth brushes
can be made from plants?

Can Terramac be used toreduce CO2?

Yes, it is even possible to make trays andgarbage bags as well.

Yes, it is very helpful because it
does not emit much CO2.

Toothbrushes, trays and garbage bags seen in the photoare made of a material called Terramac, which is madefrom an ingredient that uses corn starch. Terramac canbe processed in a range of shapes just like plastic, so it
is used for a variety of products.

Terramac is a kind of plastic made of plants. CO2 emitted
when burned and decomposed will be absorbed byplants through photosynthesis, and will become a basematerial of Terramac once again. This circulation leads toa reduction of CO2 emissions.

There is the one called XecoT, which is heat-resistant.
High function (heat resistant)Materials made from the composition of plants were weak
towards heat and could not be used for the parts of cars
etc. Unitika developed a material called XecoT using
castor oil extracted from seeds ofcastor-oil plants. It is a heat-resistantmaterial that can be used for parts ofCastor-oil plantcars and electronic devices.

Recycled/Environmentally-Friendly Materials
Can clothes be made from
PET bottles?

What is a material that is friendly
to both humans and the environment?

Yes, even stylish clothes andsportswear can be made from PET bottles.

For example, there is a material called SyLPH.
Cottons which produce SyLPH are made from fibers of
eucalyptus trees which are systematically planted. It is
not only soft and has a beautiful color, but also absorbs
moisture including sweat. It is used for fashion clothing,sportswear, underwear and uniforms.

Unitika collects and reuses used plastic bottles and wastematerials generated in the fiber production process andrecycles them into new fibers using material/chemical
recycling technology.

[No pollution from the factories, and the area ofarable land is 1/10 compared to that of cotton]

Energy-Saving Materials
Does it help to reduce CO2 if we
do not often use air conditioners?

What is “Warm Biz”?

Yes, it helps to reduce CO2 emissions
if we reduce the amount of electricity we use.

It is an initiative to wear warm clothes todecrease the time spent using heating.

CO2 is emitted when producing electricity. So, if we use
air conditioners less often, it will decrease CO2 emissions.
For instance, the use of a mattress made of high air
permeability materials called Cubic Eye allows you tosleep comfortably and reduce the time spent using air
conditioners.

We can decrease the amount of electricity and CO2
emissions by limiting our usage of heating devices andturning down the temperature settings. This is why initiatives
are being done for the wearing of warm clothes. Clothes
made from Unitika’s material called Thermotron Radipoka
keep you warm and comfortable by the synergetic effect ofsunlight and far-infrared rays.
