Message

Aiming to bring about a prosperous community,
constantly growing in affluence
While global warming and the depletion of energy resources have become critical global
environmental issues, Japan has initiated a new approach to drastically reduce greenhousegasses by proposing a plan “Challenge 25”, investing to environmental preservation
activities and living a Low-Carbon lifestyle (an ecological lifestyle). Such an investment
for building a Low-Carbon society will expand the market and employment opportunities
and encourage the development of scientific technology, finally creating economic growthin various industrial fields. We have a vision to build such a low-carbon society by 2020.
For realizing this, responsibilities should now be imposed on every entity by improving
his/her motivation and playing active roles in environmental preservation activities toreduce greenhouse gasses in any fields.
Since its foundation over 85 years ago, Iseki has made exertions to improve theproductivity through the promotion of agricultural streamlining and by reducing fatigue
farming work through providing agricultural machines. An effective use of bio-mass for
agriculture in which Iseki Group’s business is based allows for not only great
contributions with respect to the prevention of global warming by controlling the emissionof greenhouse effect gasses and the formation of a recycle-oriented society by utilizing
resources which had been normally disposed of as wastes, but also for regional
revitalization and an increase in job opportunities. Iseki believes that we can serve society
by tangibly improving food self sufficiency rates through the utilization of sparse planting
technology that we have been developing through improvements in agriculture andagricultural machinery, provide insight regarding the expansion of consumption such as
the local consumption of local products, and by providing information regarding dietaryeducation and the future of our food strategy.
Iseki Group recognizes that it is our social responsibility to contribute to society whichis in the stage to be recycle-oriented. We therefore position these as importantmanagement tasks among others. Our environment preservation activities were started
primarily at our manufacturing factories and they have now spread widely throughout theentire scope of our business, from headquarters to sales subsidiaries, through theimplementation of the Environmental Management System (EMS). From initial productdevelopment, manufacturing, product logistics and all theway to after-sales activities all business activities at Iseki
Group are based on a tangible target and the management
system so as to be an environment-conscious company. Iseki
continues our efforts to be of assistance in establishing a“prosperous community, constantly growing in affluence.”
We are pleased to have an opportunity to publish this 2009
report of our approach and actions to preserve the global
environment. Iseki Group carries out now and in future years,
our social responsibilities to even greater improve theenvironmental quality through the group-wide environmental
management activities. We would like to ask for your further
support, assistance, and cooperation to make our activities
successful.

Iseki carries out internal environmental auditing as first-party auditing and regular auditing by external institutions as third-party auditing inorder to assess if the Environment Management System functions properly and effectively, as well as to ascertain whether approaches topreserve the environment are appropriate. In FY2009, there were no reports of nonconformance after both internal environmental auditingand external regular auditing. However, the result of auditing is based upon the matters sampled for auditing and not the grounds showingthat every matter in Iseki has been carried out perfectly. Iseki, therefore, will continue our follow up on the subjects and utilize every
opportunity to conduct improvements and recurrence prevention.

Reduction ofwater used

Reduced the volume of water used
for the total production volume by
30% or more compared to thevolume in FY1997

The volume of water used for the total production volume was reduced by 33% of thedatum year. As a result of renovation of the water supply piping, conducted as mid-term
plan, a steep reduction was achieved.

14

Reduction ofwastesReduced the final volume of wastes
for the total production volume by
70% or more compared to thevolume in FY1997

The final volume of wastes for the total production volume was reduced by 74% of thedatum year as a result of improvement of reuse and recycling rate of cast metal wastes,
as well as segregation of wastes.

Promotion and enlarging theapplication of environment-friendly
designing

We implemented the environment-friendly designing assessment at each main step ofdevelopment and designing to evaluate whether the number of components, the total
weight of machinery, or harmful substances had been reduced for promotion ofenvironment-friendly designing.
To reduce the air pollutants discharged by diesel engines, Iseki have developed
environment-conscious diesel engines conforming to legal emission control andcontinuously manufactures the engines. In addition to meeting the emission control ofJapan and other countries in the world, our engines comply with the agricultural industry’s
voluntary controls which are not legally binding.

Support ofnature-friendly

Reduction of air pollutants byemployment of tiller

We have developed electric mini tillers of no emission gas instead of the current engine
using petroleum-based fuel for prevention of global warming. From now on, Iseki keeps
developing environment-friendly products and promotes safe-conscious andenvironment-friendly activities.

Promoted purchasing green throughgood relationships with business
partners

The overall rate of purchasing green including office supplies in the entire company was
93%. The rate of the purchasing green for production parts and materials was 63%. Iseki
will assist our business partners in developing the environmental management system forincreasing the purchasing green rate. In 2009, Iseki obtained a green electricity certificate
from Matsuyama city by promoting solar energy generation, which is now used for the

Environmental accounting
Environmental management
Iseki Group employed the environmental accounting system from 2004
and deals with the use of aggregated costs used for the environment
preservation activities for our management decisions relevant toenvironment preservation, as well as for a guideline of valuation ofbusiness through information disclosures to the public. The
implementation of environmental accounting started in FY2004. The

amount invested for environment preservation costs (pollution prevention,
environment preservation, and resource recycling costs) in 2009 was
176,100,000 JPY. The total amount of expenses was 668,900,000 JPY
that we made through some investments into diesel engine emission gas
and maintenance and improvement of the environmental management
system.

Environmental performance

Iseki Group uses materials such as fuel, electricity, water and other raw materials in the process of production, and discharges chemical
substances and industrial wastes subject to laws related to carbon dioxide (CO2) and PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) law.
We always check the volume of materials used for production (INPUT) and discharged volume of chemical substances and industrial wastes(OUTPUT) as an index in reducing discharge of such chemical substances and industrial wastes for realizing business activities with lessenvironmental stresses. The following shows figures of undertakings for 2009.

Approach to reduction of environmental
stresses caused by products distribution
As Energy Saving Act amended in 2006 imposed energy saving activity on
every goods owner, we always check the environmental stresses caused by
the products distribution and promote the reduction. The CO2 discharged
volume in 2009 is 17% lower than the last year, and *the modal shift rate is
drastically lowered to 46%.
* The modal shift: means change of transportation ways.
For example : Changing the transportation ways from trucks to trains or ships.

Environmental risk management[ Examples of air pollution prevention and control ]Environmental performance[ Control to inhibit the emission of GHG (Global Greenhouse Gas) ]< Approach to energy saving by using the inverter compressor >Iseki Matsuyama MFG, Co., Ltd. uses compressed air as asource of energy to operate various equipment and tools.
Workload applied to the air compressor (compressor) changes
greatly according to the compressor operating time. We used todeal with this change in the workload by reducing or increasing
the number of units to be operated though; appropriatecompressed air for the changing workload can be supplied now
by employing 2 inverter compressors. This contributes to reduce
electrical usage.
This has resulted in a reduction of 400,000kWh per year, whichis equivalent to a reduction of 157 ton of CO2, saving approximately 2.8 million yen in the cost of electricity.

< Approach to energy saving for electrodeposition coating >Iseki-Kumamoto MFG Co., Ltd., has promoted to expand operation of the inverter for the electrodeposition coating circulation pump (22kW x 2units), which is operated 24 hours a day. The discharge nozzle inside the paint tank has been improved to the one with higher agitating capacity, allowing for the reduction in the output of the circulation pump motor. As a result, Iseki-Kumamoto was able to reduce the electrical usage.

[ Reduction effect in FY2009 ]- Electricity usage: Approximately 83MWh/year- CO2 reduction volume : Approximately 29t-CO2/year

Environmental risk management[ Examples of air pollution prevention and control ]Environmental performance[ Control to inhibit the emission of GHG (Global Greenhouse Gas) ]< Approach to electric energy recycling for the tractor test facilities >Tobe Office in Iseki Group renewed the test facilities for performance measurement and endurance test of PTO (Power Take-off) shaft to deal
with the trends of growth of tractors in size. The renewed test facilities will recycle the electricity by absorbing the output energy from PTO shaftof the tractor, and employment of the data automatic measurement and monitoring function allows for 24-hour continuous operation. This also
has high maintainability as the body of the dynamometer itself is an alternator and no brush is needed as well as high security without a risk ofignition of spark.

Power panel

Dynamometer

The test facilities uniquely employ an alternative dynamometer using the inverter control. The alternative dynamometer controls all
digital sign waves, PWM (Pulse with Modulation), realizing high performance and low noise level. This system enable the regeneration of approximately 80% to 90% of the energy of PTO shaft output as electric energy, allowing for reduction of electricity usage anddischarge volume of CO2.

- Yearly reduction of electric energy : Approximately 100MWh (electricity cost: reduced
by approximately 1,7million yen per year.)- Reduction volume of CO2 emission : Approximately 38t-CO2

Function overview of operation measurement control panel:
As well as automatically controlling the load of the dynamometer byusing the personal computer and control panel, this system automatically monitors various data (temperature, strain, shaft torque), etc.
Sufficient consideration to safety is given in the automatic measurement system, which will automatically reduce the load to nearly zeroand stop the engine.

such as electricity and fuel required for production activities in 4 factories, byrealizing the efficient operation of all machines and facilities, and by replacing
existing machines and equipment with energy-saving type ones.
The total volume of CO2 emissions due to energy usage was 4% lower than theprevious year and the emission volume was 6% lower than the datum year. The
reduction was because the production output in FY2009 was greatly reduced;
we are still going to keep reducing the energy consumption.

information (communication)< Approaches to LCA >LCA is a method to create an inventory (list for items related to emission and absorbing volume of greenhouse effect gas) for the emission
volume of toxic gas such as CO2, especially affecting the global warming, emitted during burning of fossil fuel consumed in manufacturingphase including manufacturing of raw materials, manufacturing of products in the factories, transportation, and use or disposal of products byusers.
For reducing toxic substance emission in the environment, LCA method allows for clarifying which items to be improved first and focused onin each phase by comparing our conventional products with newly developed products. Each technical department uses and promotes thismethod to realize effective reduction of the toxic substance emission, leading to energy and resource saving.

Approach to environment-friendly designing
Environmental performance< Approaches to improvement of workability for combine harvesters>
As a result of the governmental policy to cope withthe successor reduction issue in the agricultural
field implemented by “Ministry of Agriculture,
Forestry and Fisheries of Japan”, number ofcertified agriculture workers have been increased
and agricultural lands have been centralized,
expanding the demand of large size combine
harvesters. Under these circumstances, we havedeveloped the environmentally conscious and large
size combine harvesters, “JAPAN” series, aroundthe concept of “high accuracy, efficiency anddurability.”

New JAPAN HJ7120

Usability and workability have been greatly improved
Iseki 7-row type combine harvester has a 4-cylinder diesel engine of 120 horsepower, which is common rail andwater-cooled type. This combine harvester is the industry’s first 7-row type combine harvester, realizing ease of feeling
tired at high driving speed 1.75m/s.
The reaping section in this 7-row type combine harvester is wide enough, requiring only 2 turns at the corner unlike theconventional one requires 3 turns, which has reduced the number of turns in the field. In a field of 30 ares, the working
time was 17% lower when compared with that of our conventional 6-row type combine harvester. Thus, the operating
efficiency has greatly been improved.
This reaping section wide enough for the width required by running and threshing realized easy handling without
paying attention to the rear side even in a field near a residential area where there are high concrete walls or woods.

Approach to environment-friendly designing
Environmental performance< Approaches to reduction of environmental stresses caused by the combine harvesters >The “switch panel” of the new combine harvester “HJ7120” has an electronic control PC board inside. The electronic
control PC board requires “soldering” using leads, toxic substances, for joining the electronic panel to the PC board. For
avoiding usage of leads, Iseki has employed “lead-free soldering” method. For employment of the “lead-free soldering”, all
the electronic parts installed to the electronic PC board need to be applicable for the “lead-free soldering”, and have towithstand higher temperature welding, because the “lead-free soldering” has higher melting point.
This “switch panel” uses parts and materials such as cases, labels, water-proofing sealing materials and screws
conforming to European RoHS directives as well as the PC board parts applicable for the “lead-free soldering.”

Integrated structure of the switch panel
The switch panel installed in the “New JAPAN” series contributes toreduction of toxic substances.
The switch panel is equipped with sensors and switches including
input circuit, output circuit and communication circuit in addition to
the toxic substances, integrating into the electronic control PC board
while it was separately installed in the conventional switch panel.
This structure enabled removal of the operating parts such as
switches or volume controllers and electric cable connection
between the electronic control PC boards, reducing the weight of theswitch panel.
The integral arrangement of electronic parts improved thedisassembling capability for easy maintenance and repair. For theindicators of the switches, super luminosity LEDs are employed,
eliminating replacement work of the conventional incandescentlamps. This realized the maintenance-free switch panel.

Switch panel

Facilitations of maintenanceFor greatly improving the maintainability of the engine, we designed
the “4 point link” type open mechanism in which the engine is more
widely opened. This mechanism is able to reduce extended part insize when opening, and it is not necessary to open the grain tank orreaping section. Instead, the entire operating seat was madeopenable. This facilitated maintenance of the important parts suchas shift HST, shift transmission case, hydraulic valve, etc. as well as
the engine and improved the safety.

Opened operating seat

Improvement of strength and durability
CAE analysis was implemented about mainly leg section which has
many important parts, reaping frame greatly affected when it isvibrated and cylinder driving part assuming application of excessive
load to select shape and material of the cases, reduce the vibrationand improve the strength and durability.

Boilers or hot air heaters are installed as a heat source of theheating system for heating the greenhouse plantation facility duringcold period. Many of those boilers or heaters use petroleum-based
fuel. The consumption of the petroleum-based fuel is one of causesof global warming, and it is our duty to reduce the consumption.
For this duty, we have made the greenhouse roof multi-layered,allowing for great reduction in consumption of petroleum-based fuel.
The multi-layered roof was created by overlaying a new covermaterial on the existing cover material in parallel with some spaceleft between. By creating air layer between cover materials, thegreenhouse insulation capacity increased allowing for reduction of
the volume of the heat from the heater inside the greenhouse.
In our laboratory greenhouse, the fuel consumption has been
reduced by 1/3 by employing multi-layer roof with fluorochemicalfilms applied inside the glass.

Environmental performance< Approaches to electric mini tiller, which is environment-friendly >Recently many people have been appealing for food safety, andgardening and table gardens have become a boom in a wide
range of people including baby boomers or people interested in
the field. Under the circumstances, demand for tiller which canbe handled by aged person or women has grown. Thus, Iseki
commercialized the field’s first electric mini tiller driven by lithium
ion battery for realizing both full-scale work (cultivation, ridge
making, field filing and weeding) and environment-conscious
work.

Electric mini tiller

Clean operation- The electric mini tiller, emitting no gas and releasing noodor, is a environmental and human-friendly product.
- There is no need for supplying gasoline or replacement of engine oil.
- Employment of a clean tray realized to keep the tiller clean evenwhile it is running on a road, a worker is loading a cargo into thevehicle or the tiller is stored.

Silent operation- This noise-less tiller, driven by a motor, allows forenvironment-friendly operation around a residential area.

Clean tray

Simple operation- Easy charging
A lithium ion battery, having large capacity and rechargeable,
is employed.
- Easy transportation
The tiller is equipped with 2 driving wheels for stable and easytransportation. This tiller is foldable and can be loaded into atrunk of an automobile.

The graph proved that the new motor driven tiller
is superior to the conventional one in almost all
the aspects except for weight. It is notable that
there is no emission from this new tiller during
operation, contributing to environment-friendly
manufacturing activities.
When evaluated (compared with our standard) by
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) from the manufacturing phase to disposal phase including thephase of recharging batteries, the lifetime
emission volume of CO2 is 42% of that of theconventional one driven by a gasoline engine,
realizing drastic reduction of CO2 emission
volume.

Support to promote environment-friendly agriculture
Environmental performance< Approaches to low-fuel consumption for TJV tractor >In response to the gain of momentum for improvement of foodself-sufficiency ratio in Japan, demand for high horsepower tractors
exceeding 50PS has been expanding in a field of tractors. Iseki
developed an environment-friendly new model tractor (TJV series)
with PS between 58 and 95 meeting the demand.

TJV95

With a common rail type electronically-controlled fuel injection
system, conforming to the emission control standard in Japan in
2008, installed, this new tractor accurately controls pressure,volume and timing of injection by using a computer for fuel injection
appropriate for the operating condition of the engine.

Iseki common rail engine

Standard mode

It employed a function to select either mode between 2 modes(standard mode or green mode (fuel-efficient mode)) depending on
the kind of work, attaining reduction in usage of energy, high fuelefficiency and environment-friendly operation.
By selecting the green mode (fuel-efficient mode), the fuelconsumption was reduced approximately by 10% in light load
operation.

efficiency was improved due to change in the operating condition or
method. Thus, fuel efficiency can be improved.
Operators’ awareness of reduction of fuel consumption, by thegraph display of thefuel consumption rate on the panel, was improved, contributing to
improvement of the global environment.

Education and training for environment / Qualified persons
Collaborative creation together with our stakeholders<Approach to systematic environmental education and training>

to environment-related laws and legal qualification<Strict complianceand promotion of licenses related to environment>

The principle to develop the recycle-oriented society and realize theLow- Carbon emission society is to promote the reduction ofenvironmental stresses and thus it is necessary for each employee
to enhance their own consciousness and competency of theenvironment. For this, Iseki Group aims to improve environmental
consciousness by providing all employees with the education andtraining called environmental program in three major steps
according to the level of environmental stresses: subjective training
for every employee, training for special jobs and education for
employees who engage with jobs which require certain official
qualification.

As we acknowledge that conformance to environment-related laws
and legislation is the basis of environmental preservation activities,
we therefore encourage all of our employees to observe safety andhygiene rules strictly. At the same time, we offer our employees theopportunities to participate in seminars held by external institutes for
managers in charge of pollution supervisor, chief electrical engineer,and boiler engineers to have the official qualifications needed for thepromotion of developing recycling-oriented society. The number of
employees qualified for official environmental qualification as of theend of March, 2010 is shown in the following table.

System for education and training for environment / Qualified persons<Environmental education><Training for internal environment auditors>

Iseki Group promotes the environmental preservation not only in theirworkshops but also in their home and community such as energy
saving in their home and eco-driving.
We realized that the first step to the environmental preservation is toraise the awareness of each employee about the environment
through the environmental training of new employees and issuancesof Iseki Group newsletters.

Iseki promotes appropriate improvements and continuous activities
through the environmental education based on the environmental
management system and yearly regular audits by external certification institutes, as well as internal system application audits.
Iseki Group focuses on the internal audits. Therefore, we have beenoffering our employees unified and systematic training and educationby third-party institutions as we think it is important for us to traininternal auditors and up-grade the skills and capabilities of ouremployee in order to maintain and improve the application of theenvironmental management system.

<Environmental training>
It is required to complete training and educations to a certain level forany employees assigned to particular jobs such as casting, heat
treatment and painting before performing actual jobs. This training
and education is offered on a regular basis in accordance withvarious standards describing the impacts of such particular jobs tothe environment, daily management procedures, and emergency
procedures.

Collaborative creation together with our stakeholders< Renewal of Exhibition Pavilion of Iseki-Kumamoto MFG. CO., Ltd. >Following the renewal of Iseki-Matsuyama MFG. Co., Ltd., Iseki-Kumamoto MFG. Co., Ltd. renewed the exhibition pavilion for offering factory
tours featuring food education as well as displaying “approaches of Iseki Group towards improvement of food self-sufficiency ratio” called“FOOD ACTION NIPPON” activity. The 3 companies, Iseki & Co., Ltd, Iseki-Kumamoto MFG. Co., Ltd. and Iseki Kyusyu Co., Ltd. worked
together to press-show the renewal of the exhibition pavilion on July 23rd, 2009.
In the exhibition pavilion, we set up an exhibition corner for displaying articles about improvement of food education and food self-sufficiency
ratio and our approaches and PR corner for displaying Kumamoto-made products. In the machine exhibition area, exhibited are articles about
history of agricultural machines, our main products, articles explaining the function of the combine harvesters produced by Iseki-Kumamoto
MFG. Co., Ltd. examples of a telescopic discharge pipe equipped with the combine harvester and transmission mechanism which are cut sothat the mechanism inside can be seen.
Outside of the pavilion, there is “Sanae-chan Farm” featuring a home garden for gaining attention of visitors other than farmers. There, visitors
are able to actually take care of the farm by using tools and equipment there.
In the company cafeteria of Iseki-Kumamoto MFG. Co., Ltd., a corner for “local production for local consumption” is set up for offering somedishes using local food such as “Katsu-don” (deep-fried pork on rice) and salad. Set meals using ocal foods only are on the menu on every 3rd
Friday for promoting improvement of the local production for local consumption activity and food self-sufficient ratio.

Renewed Exhibition Pavilion

Local production for local consumption corner

FOOD ACTION NIPPON corner< Participation in an interactive event with producers and consumers >Iseki Co. & Ltd. participated the event built on the concept of “Encouraging Japanese agriculture” held in Yoyogi park in Tokyo on March 13thand 14th 2010 for improving awareness of “FOOD ACTION NIPPON” (FAN). The event was held together with “Local food, Japanese food”
activity hosted by NHK, etc., and the event place was full of visitors.
Iseki participated this event as a sole agricultural manufacturer for aiming to increase awareness of people, who do not have much opportunity
to have exposure to the agricultural machines or agriculture, about “agriculture” or “food” by actually handling the agricultural machines.
Many visitors were interested in our exhibitions corner where we displayed the panels introducing our approaches to “local production and local
consumption” activity and approaches to low cost agriculture and plant factory as a partner of FAN promoting team as well as handing out
balloon with a logo “FAN”, implementing PR for promoting FAN activity and showing DVD of promotion and improvement of rice powder
consumption. We also had a photo session with the tractor which had driven around Tohoku region for PR of FAN activity in September 2009.
In order for the visitors to feel more familiar to “agriculture” and “food”, we set up a corner at which they were able to handle electric mini tiller“ERENA” and/or “ASUNA” suitable for home garden. Many children seemed to be more interested in driving the cultivators than adults. There
were huge queues of people form in front of the corner for the driving the cultivator. This event proved to be very popular. From now on, Iseki
is going to participate events for foods through FAN activity for giving more information to consumers.
