Audit and assessment
Through internal audit performed by our own staff and external audit performed by a third-party
organization, we continuously reduce our environmental burden and enhance our improvement activities.

Internal environmental audit

Once a year, our internal auditors mutually audit each workplace to verify the implementation
situation of environmental management programs, and maintenance and inspection ofenvironment-related facilities.

ISO 14001 periodical audit by
an external audit
organization

To date, our Toyama, Namerikawa, and Higashi-Toyama plants have obtained ISO 14001
certification from the Japan Audit and Certification Organization for Environment and Quality(JACO).
After receiving audit of the conversion to the revised standard of April 2017, we received aperiodical audit in April 2020.

Bearings

Bearings make the movement of rotating parts of machines smooth
and accurate.
Bearings are used in many types of mechanical equipment: transport
equipment such as automobiles, Shinkansen trains, ocean-goingvessels, and aircraft; household appliances such as air conditioners;
FA equipment such as robots and machine tools; large industrial
equipment; and artificial satellites, substantially contributing to the
reduction of energy loss caused by friction of rotating parts.
NACHI-FUJIKOSHI offers products that contribute to various fields,
including automobiles and industrial machines, by using its
technologies to extend machine life, achieve high-efficiency anddownsizing.

Mission2

Preventing global warming and reducing energy
consumption
All our plants work to reduce total CO2 emissions by optimizing equipment operation and adoptingenergy-saving equipment.
In FY2020, we were able to achieve our target CO2 emissions because of significant reduction in
production but unable to achieve the target per unit gross value added emissions.
In FY2021, we will do our best, based on the medium-term energy conservation plan, to make capital
investment and conduct energy-saving activities to reduce energy consumption.

Report to the government: PRTR Law Class 1 designated chemical substances 462 items(contents: 1% or more; volume: 1 t/year or more)Efforts to prevent pollution
In addition to regulatory requirements, the Toyama Plant and the Higashi-Toyama Plant (Material Plant) have concluded anagreement on pollution prevention with Toyama City. These two plants set the limit of discharging water, air, vibration and noise
equivalent to or stricter than regulatory requirements, regularly monitor their emissions, and report to Toyama City.
The Namerikawa Plant has also concluded a comprehensive agreement on pollution prevention with Namerikawa City.

Prevention of air pollution
Sulfur oxide (SOx), nitrogen oxide (NOx),and soot dust
Boilers and furnaces in factories generate sulfur
oxide (SOx), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and soot dust,
etc. In addition to daily inspection of equipment, weperiodically monitor and analyze the discharging
air to not exceed the limit.
The Toyama Plant is a specified factory with
discharging gases of less than 40,000 m3/hour,
and the Higashi-Toyama Plant (Material Plant) is a
specified factory with discharging gases of morethan 40,000 m3/hour. Both plants do not have a
specified facility for hazardous substances.

Restriction on volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Some substances contained in paints and cleaning oils are discharged into the airas VOCs.
We do not have a facility subject to regulatory restriction (100,000 m3/hour ormore). We voluntarily measure VOC discharged from our facilities at least once a
year.
Although it was not the facility subject to regulatory restriction, we exceeded thelimit (700 ppm-C) once in our voluntary measurement in FY2016. We thereforechanged a part of our cleaning equipment in the beginning of FY2017 to use
water-based cleaning fluids instead of VOCs. As we think we can further improve
the process, we continue our studies to achieve our voluntary standard.
We newly introduced automatic painting lines with water-based cleaning facilities
in FY2019. In FY2020, they are in operation only for some parts and therefore ourvoluntary standard has not been achieved yet, but a reduction from the previous
measured values has been confirmed.

Prevention of water pollution
The Toyama Plant and the Higashi-Toyama Plant (Material Plant) are both the specified factory with discharging waterof less than 10,000 m3/day. Both plants have a specified facility for hazardous substances.
The main environmentally hazardous substance contained in discharging water is oil. In addition to limiting the volumeof discharging water, we also recover a small amount of oils in discharging water by using an oil-water separating tank
and absorption mat. Other alkaline, iron-rich waste liquids are appropriately treated with neutralization and flocculation
before discharging.

At the Material Plant, in order to detect a sign that leads to abnormal

Efforts to improve the management ofchemical substances❶ SDS management
The chemical substance SDS (Safety Data Sheet) has been available at the sites using chemical substances, but its updates
tended to fall behind when implementing internal data registration and risk assessment or revising it.
Therefore, efforts have been made to improve the situation by establishing the procedure (flowchart) and developing the SDS
management ledger at the sites using chemical substances.

❷ Management of hazardous material storage volumes
In some storage locations of hazardous materials, there are many types and large volumes of hazardous material products
and it could not be determined at first sight whether they were managed not to exceed the specified quantities/volumes.
Therefore, efforts have been made to improve the situation by promoting the improvement of notices and borders.
