Compliance forms the foundation of all that we do. We aim to be a fair and transparent company,
striving for a high ethical standard in all our business activities, with every employee and director
obeying the laws and regulations.

Corporate Ethics and Legal Compliancecompliance and human rights to directors and employees throughout the Group, and compliance education
by hierarchy to raise compliance awareness. These efforts to raise Group-wide awareness also include distributing our Corporate Ethics Handbook, which compiles important key points and self-checklists that must
be observed during daily work as well as running anawareness-raising article in Group newsletters.
In FY2020, we implemented compliance education forthe management team in an on-demand format. In addition, the Corporate Ethics Handbook has been revised toreflect changes in social conditions in recent years.

Compliance Framework
All directors and employees of the Kyodo Printing
Group declare that they will carry out their work according
to our Business Behavior charter and Ethics Charter withthe following principles in mind: proper understanding of
the importance of corporate ethics; observance of laws,
regulations, internal rules, and social standards; andself-discipline on the part of each director and employee.
Each division conducts daily management within thescope of their authority with regards to the observanceof laws and regulations by employees, with further proliferation of corporate ethics through the establishmentof the Corporate Ethics Committee chaired by the Corporate Ethics Executive Officer.
We translate and share our corporate philosophy, Business Behavior Charter, Ethics Charter and other policies
into other languages so that our overseas bases can carry out their work with a unified corporate ethics outlook.
In FY2020, there were 0 cases of serious violations oflaws and regulations.

Anti-Corruption and Bribery Countermeasures
The Ethics Charter of the Group prohibits gifts andspecial treatment that deviate from general businesscustom and commonsense. Furthermore, we endeavor
to maintain appropriateness with government in Japanand overseas by ensuring a sound and transparent relationship with public officials.
In addition, we have formulated a hospitality andgift-giving/receiving policy, and are operating a management system to record hospitality and gifts.

Whistle Blowing System

Respect for Intellectual Property Rights

A patent search system was established to avoid therisk of infringing upon others’ rights. A patent search
and analysis are conducted at various stages, ranging
form product and service development to customer presentation, to respect the intellectual property of others.
Additionally, patent information is used from the firststage of product and service development. And bybuilding a patent network to contribute to businessprofits, we are making efforts to develop and secure thestrengths of our business.

An Ethics Consultation Office was established. This
office is made up of an internal help desk for early discovery and correction of unfair acts by officers and employees, and an external help desk for consultations,anonymous or otherwise.
In FY2020, a new Auditory and Supervisory Board
Member Route was established within the Ethics Consultation Office, establishing a reporting route independent of management.
Whistle Blowing Rules, which prohibit the disadvantageous treatment of whistle-blowers, were established toprotect them. Based on the Whistle-Blower Protection Act,
notifications are also accepted from people who work at
companies who have a trading relationship with our Group.

Export Management Framework
Export of cargo related to weapons of mass destruction or provision of technology require strict export control
based on foreign exchange law, by international agreement. We have enhanced the export management framework by enacting Export Management Regulations, andestablishing a framework consisting of a first check by
the Export Trading Division and a second check by the
Export Management Secretariat (Legal Division).

Compliance Education
We are utilizing e-learning to offer education on legal

5Together with Customers Consumer Issues
Safety and quality are paramount in the provision of printed items that enrich people’s lives and culture. We have a strict information management framework in place to improve our technology andquality and bring our customers products and services with a high degree of added value.

Product Safety and Quality

Customer Information Asset Protection

Product Safety Promotion Schemes

Personal Information Protection (Privacy Mark)

Based on the Kyodo Printing Quality Policy, as a bodyto promote product liability (PL) and product safety (PS),
we established a Product Safety Committee chaired by
an executive officer in charge, to evaluate product safety
from new product development to the proposed products. We have also been working on examination andmanagement of specialized safety through subcommittees and expert committees. These activities are reviewed in an annual management review.

Based on the Personal Information Protection Policy,
we created a Personal Information Protection Management System conforming to the Personal Information
Protection Management System requirements (JIS Q
15001), and are managing operation of the system. We
are striving to raise awareness throughout the Group by,for example, providing education for all employees.

Information Security Management System
The Business Media Division has acquired certification at the Kawajima Solution Center and Tsurugashima
Plant for the international standards ISO/IEC27001 forthe Information Security Management System (ISMS),
and is creating an advanced information security framework to match the Privacy Mark. In addition, we are providing the customer with peace of mind by, for example,
acquiring certification for the international standard
ISO22301 for BCMS, in order to keep damage to a minimum in the event of an emergency and be able to restore business quickly.

Quality Assurance Framework
Based on the Kyodo Printing Quality Policy, we established the Quality Assurance Committee chaired by an
executive officer in charge to promote quality assurance
activities. The committee carries out activities to continuously improve quality, as well as conducting a review
each year via a management review.

Health Management
Challenges
Goal 8 of the SDGs calls for us to, “Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainableeconomic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.” InJapan, there are social issues accompanying the advancement of the super-aging society, such as the increase in health risks and social security expenses,
and an increase in people with mental health illnesses. In corporations, low productivity at work due to poor mental or physical condition is coming under the
spotlight. It is estimated that the cost of this is 17.7 times* more than that due totime off or leaves of absence through sickness or injury, so employee healthmaintenance has a significant impact on work productivity and finances.
*Source: Calculation from a report by the University of Tokyo Working Group, The University ofTokyo Policy Alternatives Research Institute

Basic Concept
Our Group recognizes that it is an important business issue to secure the “physical, mental and social wellbeing” of individual employees who are the source ofcorporate activities which lead to a rise in corporate value. We announced the
Kyodo Printing Group Health Management Declaration in 2018, and we will continue to practice health management enabling growth of employees and thecompany together.

Ideal Management in Future

We will grow together with our employees and their families, and together with
our suppliers, contributing to society through our business,
and we will realize the TOMOWEL idea of “a truly abundant world.”
As part of health management, to maintain an environment comfortable for women to work in, we conducted a Women’s HealthSeminar aimed at leaders and supervisory positions and above for the purpose of understanding female-specific health issues.
Here, we read the opinions of a supervisor and subordinate who attended the seminar.
fromSuperior

The key point is to create an environment in which discussion is easy and aframework that enables cooperation.

To be honest, I felt it would be difficult for a male manager to step into the area of female-specific health issues.
However, I think if a manager and staff can broaden theirunderstanding as in this seminar, then conditions are created in which women find it easier to discuss matters, andin case of an emergency to take time off. How this will betranslated into specific actions is an issue, but I think themessage I want to put out is, rather than actively avoid
mentioning something as it is a sensitive problem, to always be open to discussion. Each person’s circumstances
are different, but everybody is working while embracing avariety of problems. A female-specific health issue is one
such problem. By first deepening knowledge and understanding, I want to continue to keep in mind to create acooperative atmosphere within the group so as to always
enable positive care if a discussion arises.

While it is a female-specific health issue, I have dealt with iton a daily basis over many years, so up until now I have considered it as something that I have to control myself. I havenot actually discussed it with anybody. But if my supervisor isaware of my circumstances, then if something should happen, whether or not the conditions are such to enable a discussion, the reassurance while continuing to work is completely different. Fortunately, I always see a supervisor who
understands women and the home, and colleagues who actively participate in childcare. If there is a culture of cooperation in the group, I think it is easy to discuss not only women’s health issues but also other aspects such as childcare.
On the other hand, there was something that made me think
about me also having a junior colleague. As each person’s
problems or health condition are different, I felt anew that weshould pay attention to the colleagues around us.

7Together with Employees Human Rights and Labor Practices
We believe that a company grows when its employees grow,so we work to make sure that our employees’ rights are respected and strive tocreate an environment that brings out their unique characteristics and skills.

Work-Style Reformtem. We also provide a support program aimed at male
employees to encourage participation in childcare. We
have a parental leave support system in place to support parents from before the birth of their child until theirreturn to work, as well as a seminar on career support
for a parent’s return to work, and for nursing, we holdseminars divided into introductory and practical.

We announced the Work-Style Reform Declaration
aiming to realize a work-life balance for employees anda fulfilling life for employees and their families. Basedon the TOMOWEL philosophy, we are working to maintain an environment in which each individual employee’s power is used to the maximum and the employee
can play an active role with a sense of satisfaction.

Diversity & Inclusion

We “respect employees’ diversity, personality and individuality, and provide support to enhance their ability”
based on the Business Behavior Charter. We promote
the advancement of female employees, helping them todemonstrate their full potential and providing a framework to help achieve a proper balance between workand parenthood. We are working to realize a working
environment where workers can continue to demonstrate their ability while contending with concerns suchas childcare and nursing. Accordingly, we devised an
action plan that sets a 7% minimum of women occupying top management positions by FY2021.
In the case of elderly workers, we introduced an Elderly Scheme for re-employing people aged up to 65 ifthey want to work. We maintain a system in which they
can demonstrate ability as before retirement, for example, performance-based pay rises.
In our measures to employ people with disabilities,
we provide education for employees who work withthem, and support people with disabilities in settling in
the workplace and in ease of working. We are aiming toachieve an employment rate of 2.3% or over by 2021.

Based on the concept of “an organization that combines a sense of reassurance with a healthy feeling oftension, based on fair value,” through “employees who
independently work to create even slightly greater value
through their own roles or jobs,” we have built a training
system that aims for sustainable growth of people andthe corporation.
In addition to the annual self-assessment system, we
have established a Career Challenge System that recruits people from inside the company, supporting career formation for employees who desire a challenge,
and through this we aim to strengthen the organization.
In addition, we hold Career Design Seminars for thosein their 20s and 40s as an opportunity to form a careerplan looking to the future.

Health Management
We are conscious that health management initiatives
are an important management issue, published theGroup Health Management Declaration, and established a Health Management Promotion Team with the
President at the helm. We will focus our efforts more on
securing and improving the health management of employees and their families, and on providing a more
comfortable workplace.

Work-Life balance
We are promoting measures centered around telework as work-style reform initiatives, and we are working on preparing an “environment in which work can be
performed regardless of location.” In order to realize arange of work-styles that respect individual workers, weare striving to expand choices.

Safety and Health Management System

Based on the Group Safety and Health Policy, our activities are centered on the Safety and Health Committee chaired by the executive officer in charge. In addition to risk assessments for all staff working at
manufacturing sites, we improve safety and healthawareness through training, share relevant information,and conduct regular tours of inspection. In addition, we
listen to opinions and implement suggestions of industrial doctors and other experts to maintain and improvethe management system.

Childcare and Nursing Support

As well as completing a system of leave beyond legal
requirements, to enable employees busy with childcare
and nursing to balance home and work life, we are preparing a range of other systems. For example, we aremoving forward with the introduction of a telework sys8

Together with Suppliers Promoting Social Responsibility in the Value Chain
CSR activities are promoted with our suppliers in accordance with fair practices
for continuous and mutual development across the supply chain.

Supply Chain Management

Fair Trade

CSR Procurement

We work to establish a fair relationship with suppliersand eliminate any unfair practice through abuse of position as the ordering party.

We have established the CSR Basic Procurement
Policy of the Kyodo Printing Group, which defines thebasic policies that we should follow when procuring
items, and the CSR Procurement Standard of the Kyodo Printing Group which consists of the supplier compliance requirements, and initiatives are being put into
practice such as compliance, human rights, health andsafety, information security, the environment, social contributions, and so on. Headed by the CSR Procurement
Investigation Committee, CSR procurement is promoted across our entire supply chain to ensure a shareddirection and sense of value in every facet, from thosein charge of placing orders to each supplier.

Compliance with the Subcontract Act
We have established compliance regulations for the
Subcontract Act as a basis for transactions with our
suppliers. Using our Regulations on Compliance with
the Subcontract Act as a guide, we conduct education
for managers and supervisors as well as the purchasing, sales and development divisions, sending employees newly in charge of placing orders and related positions to training held by the Japan Fair Trade
Commission and the Small and Medium Enterprise
Agency to raise awareness.
In FY2020, a total of 3,966 employees from the wholeGroup attended the training on the Subcontract Act.

Supplier Surveys
As a part of CSR procurement activities, we conduct
surveys of main suppliers including overseas ones to
see their state of the CSR activities. We feedback thesurvey results immediately to the suppliers so thatthey can grasp and improve the statuses of
their initiatives. We also
conduct follow-up surveys and take corrective
measures when required.
These surveys become
a valuable opportunity tohear the opinions of our
Feedback screen
suppliers.

The Supplier Helpline
To enable transparent and fair trading with suppliers, we
set up an Ethics Consultation Office helpline. This lets us
know when there are organizational or individual violationsof the law or behavior deviating from the basic CSR proc u r e m e n t p o l i c y,and helps to solve
problems. There
were no reports or
consultations claims
from suppliers in
FY2020.

Supplier Communication

Green Procurement
The Green Procurement Guidelines were defined topromote green procurement related to reduction of
global environmental burden and advancement of
product safety related to chemical substances. We
seek the understanding and cooperation of each of our
suppliers in enacting environmental policy to provide
safe products to the market and reduce the environmental burden across the supply chain.

To strengthen cooperative relationships and develop
side-by-side with our best and most-valued suppliers,
we provide opportunities for communication such as a
New Year MutualAppreciation Ceremony and an Outstanding Associate

freely themselves. Participants gave their impressions,such as, “I want to create a variety of colors when I paintat home, too.” We will continue to contribute to activities
to pass on cultural and artistic traditions in the future, too.

As one of the activities to pass on cultural and artistic
traditions, we held a workshop to create an artistic reproduction with Yokoyama Taikan Memorial Hall, which wehave cooperated with for many years. We introduced thatthe printed materials are created with a variety of colors

Together with the Earth The Environment
We promote global environmental management aimed at environmental preservation and realizationof a sustainable society through the printing so deeply connected to daily life.

ular, attitudes toward the environment have changed rapidly, and a new international framework has been created.
With the Paris Agreement and the IPCC 1.5°C special
report in the area of climate change, efforts have begun
to achieve carbon neutrality globally by 2050. Corporations are being asked for financial disclosures in linewith TCFD requirements, and it is thought climatechange initiatives will impact corporate value. Also, toward building a recycling society, while regulating single-use plastic, efforts have started toward a circular
economy that collects and regenerates resources.
Based on these initiatives, our Group upholds “Striving to preserve and improve the natural environment
and living environment through the product lifecycle tocreate a sustainable society,” and we have formulated
the fifth environmental medium-term plan (- 2025) according to this principle. We are also moving forwardwith a long-term environmental vision to indicate what
we want the Group to become further in the future.
We will contribute to the creation of a sustainable society toward a future co-existence of humans and theEarth, as indicated in our corporate message, “Future
creation for all.”A Message from the Chairperson of
the Group Environmental Committee

Prevention of Water Pollution
We regularly monitor the pH (hydrogen ion density),
BOD, and metal content, etc., in drainage, and managelevels according to a voluntary control standard stricter
than the legal requirements.

Warming due to emission of greenhouse gases(GHG) caused mainly by energy usage is having a profound impact on the global environment. Prompted by
the Paris Agreement, specific international efforts arebeing sought to prevent global warming. Our Group is
actively making efforts toward the realization of alow-carbon society through business.
In addition to thoroughly handling energy management at each of our offices centered on the Global
Warming Action Department and based on the Energy
Conservation Guidelines, we are implementing initiatives such as investing in energy conservation at facilities and expanding solar power generation.
In FY2020, we kept GHG emission increases, causedby establishing new companies, to the same level as
the previous year by the entire Group working hard to
make cuts. In addition, we reduced energy consumption by 1.6% on the previous year. Also, we introduceda solar power generation facility at the Sagamihara
Plant, and estimate this will have a CO2 reduction effectof 106 tonnes annually.

Chemical Substance Management
Based on the Proper Chemical Management Guidelines for correct management and reduction of chemical substances, the Green Procurement Department is
at the core of activities. Also, a Chemical SubstanceManagement Department was established in each office. We manage and operate master data from 50,000
laws and regulations on chemical substances, centering around those related to printing, while we enter
newly purchased materials in a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
to ensure compliance with laws and regulations, reduce
product use, provide information to customers and support the health and safety of our employees.
We released the Green Procurement Guidelines toensure proper chemical substance management by all
our suppliers.
Across the entire Group, we have endeavored to cut
emissions of PRTR-designated chemical substances by
50% by 2020 compared to 2010. As a result, in 2020 we
cut emissions by 28.5% compared to the previous year,
and we have cut emissions by 72.0% compared to 2010,
achieving our environmental target. By changing to substitutes and reviewing work methods, we are working to
cut emissions further and continue to achieve targets.

Pollution Prevention
We endeavor to understand conditions and carry out
proper processing at each of our offices in order to reduce environmental burden and prevent pollution. We independently set increasingly strict voluntary control standards based on law and regulations to handle fluctuationsin amount of waste associated with changes in workload.

Prevention of Atmospheric Pollution
Regarding atmospheric emissions in FY2020, NOxemissions reduced by 13.4% compared to the previous
year due to the reduction in boiler facilities. VOC emissions were reduced by 67.3% and achieved the environmental goal as a result of activities in pursuit of thegoal of a 40% reduction compared to FY2010.

ciety. As well as achieving zero emissions by implementing 3R* and promoting proper treatment of waste,
we are contributing to the formation of a recycling society in the entire product lifecycle.
In FY2020, we progressed well with reduction and recycling of waste, reducing the amount of waste occurring by
7.2% from the previous year, and maintaining the recycling
rate medium-term goal of 99.7% Zero emissions have beenachieved 12 years consecutively at all the 8 major offices.

We promote sustainable use of limited water resources. We are making efforts to use water resources efficiently and cut water usage by, for example, efficient use
of water and introduction of common facilities in consideration of water-saving, and changing air conditioner
cooling systems to avoid use of water.
Water usage in FY2020 increased by 19.6% from theprevious year due to full-scale operation of plants of subsidized companies in 2019.

*The in-house standard of less than 1% of the total waste being the final
disposal amount generated in factories, or recycling of 99% or more of

New Value from Unwanted Items Move resources around to help society again
As well as making efforts such as cutting resource inputs and promoting re-use and recycling, our Group considers waste generated from our business activities that is difficult to recycle also to be a precious resource, which
we make efforts to use together with corporations cooperating as partners. We are conducting initiatives to imbue waste with new value, to recycle resources and be of help in people’s lives.
