Message from the Director in Chargeof the Environment

Going Beyond Society’s
Expectations

Chairman of the DNP Group
Environmental Committee

Satoru Inoue

T h e D N P G r o u p h a s b e e n w o r k i n g to r e d u c eenvironmental impact in all processes from theprocurement and use of raw materials to their disposal,
promoting sustainable business practices to protect
and support the global environment. We place priority
on taking action to go beyond society's expectations,and we continue to issue reports specific to ourenvironmental action. Once more, this year's reportoutlines our activities and their results so thatstakeholders can get a clear picture. The report isedited according to the Environmental Reporting
Guidelines (2012 edition) issued by Japan's Ministry of
the Environment and aims to be exhaustive and provide
continuity. The information in this report was subjected
to a third-party review conducted by Ernst & Young
Sustainability Co., Ltd., assuring that impor tantenvironmental data was accurately measured andcalculated, and fully disclosed.

Efforts in Fiscal 2013

Environmental targets for fiscal 2013 and a record ofactions taken are presented in this report. The DNPGroup has set and achieved its 2013 targets for
reducing the total amount of its greenhouse gas
emissions; this year we also worked through energy
conservation subcommittees to promote group-wide
energy-saving measures. In fiscal 2014 we have begun
to expand such reduction targets at our overseas
operations. In conjunction with these ef for ts we
implemented action at our key overseas bases tocalculate and reduce greenhouse gas emissions acrossour entire supply chain. Figures have been calculated
for fiscal years 2011 to 2013, based on which we areworking to discover areas with high potential for
reducing emissions and to then promote effective
reduction measures.
Ahead of the establishment of Japan's domestic
fiscal 2015 targets for reducing atmospheric emissionsof volatile organic compounds (VOCs), we have alreadyachieved our own target values. Outside of Japan, oneof t h e m e a s u r e s we h ave i m p l e m e n te d i s t h e
introduction of a VOC treatment facility at our newly
built plant in Malaysia. We have thus started and willcontinue to expand ef for ts to reduce emissions

internationally. With regard to lowering industrial waste,
we have reached zero emissions group-wide throughactions taken, achieving a less than 0.5% landfill rate.
Two key themes related to protecting biodiversity
upon which the DNP Group has taken action since lastyear that are closely tied to our business activities are:examining the procurement of raw materials andcreating green areas on the premises of our businesssites. Paper is one of the key raw materials that are
essential to the business continuity of the DNP Group.
B a s e d o n o u r g u i d e l i n e s s e t i n 2 012 f o r t h e
procurement of printing paper and converting paper,
we conducted a survey of our main suppliers and will
use the results to ascertain the current reality and make
improvements aimed at the effective and sustainableutilization of forest resources. Another initiative has
been the creation of green areas as natural habitats,re g a rd i n g w h i c h we h ave b e e n ex p a n d i n g th epromotion of employee participation in the Ichigaya
district (Tokyo), at our Okayama Plant, and at DNP
Chubu, to Sagami Yoki (Odawara), the Kashiwa Plant,
and other locations. We have also held seminars andevents for citizens, welcoming our neighbors in the
Ichigaya district, to deepen overall understanding of
biodiversity.

Future efforts

The DNP Group will continue to implement sustainablebusiness practices to steadily expand our measures toreduce environmental impact worldwide. It is also
critical that our entire supply chain has the same level ofawareness in their activities as we do in ours. Especiallywith regard to our global warming measures, in our
Scope 3 estimates, we have looked closely at emissions
related to purchased goods and ser vices, which
account for over 60% of our overall business, and will
be pursuing reductions in cooperation with ours u p p l i e r s . F o r t h e f u t u r e w e p l a n to d e e p e ncommunication with our diverse stakeholders and takeaction as we build deeper trust. Through these activities
we aim to be consistently worthy of a high degree oftrust from society.

Business Vision

P&I Solutions
We will identify and solve the problems and issues that consumers and corporate clients face within theemergently evolving society by fusing our Printing Technologies (PT) and Information Technologies (IT).
Guiding Principles
1. Engage in TAIWA (Japanese for “dialogue”) with all persons concerned
Through TAIWA, we can identify the hopes and dreams of consumers and corporate clients, as well as uncover our own
problems of which we had been unaware. By pursuing TAIWA on the identified problems and issues with various membersof the company as well as people outside the company, we will be able to find solutions to these problems and issues.

2. Work with an independent and collaborative mind-set in order to solve problems
Acquiring specialized knowledge and skills, thereby becoming independent, allows us to sharpen our sensitivity for perceiving
the problems and issues that surface within TAIWA. We should collaborate on these issues with other members while
recognizing one another’s sense of values and roles in order to propose solutions that will meet the satisfaction of our clients.

Management
Concept

3. Challenge courageously, even in the face of difficult issues
As professionals, the expectation and confidence entrusted upon us are proportionate to the level of difficulty of a problem
or issue. Therefore, we should approach problems and issues with a spirit of challenge and courage, which will enhance our
professional skills all the more.

DNP Group Environmental Policy
Rapid economic progress and a rising global population
are bound to continue through the twenty-first century,
so we must do what we can to protect biodiversity andprevent further degradation of the environment. Different
groups and organizations work to protect the global
environment in different ways; we all must do what we
can to pass on a healthy planet to future generations.
We follow the DNP Group Code of Conduct, which
guides us toward environmental conservation and therealization of a sustainable society. The DNP Group
Environmental Policy links this code to specific activities
that take the environment into consideration within thescope of our various business activities.

The DNP Group seeks to minimize the impact our businesses have on the environment andsupports biodiversity, first by complying with environmental laws and regulations and also byrecognizing the relationship that each of our business activities has with the environment. In
this way we hope to create a sustainable society in a world with limited resources.
1. Each member of the DNP Group establishes and periodically reviews its own environmental policies andenvironmental targets, and puts into effect continuous improvement of its activities and the prevention ofenvironmental pollution.
2. For all construction projects, and before designing and commissioning new facilities, we carry out a fulland detailed environmental survey to assess the impact that the project will have on the environment tomake proper efforts to protect the environment. We shall also make aggressive efforts to use renewableenergy.
3. When carrying out research, development, design, manufacture, and sales of a new product, weconsider the impact of the product on the environment throughout its lifecycle, including materials
procurement, production, distribution, use, and disposal, especially in terms of energy conservation,
resource conservation, and reducing the use of harmful chemicals.
4. When purchasing raw materials, stationery, and equipment, we choose items that are ecologicallyfriendly and easy to recycle.
5. In manufacturing a product, we aim to comply with environmental laws and regulations, and moreover
we set up more stringent standards to reduce the emissions of pollutants into the air, watershed, andsoil, and to prevent unpleasant odors, noise, vibration, and land subsidence. We are constantly
improving facilities, techniques, and manufacturing processes to promote the targets of energy
conservation, resource conservation, and the reduction of industrial waste.
6. When generating waste from business operations, we strive to achieve zero emissions by separating
and recycling waste as much as possible.
DNP Environmental Committee (March 21, 2000, revised March 16, 2010)

The DNP Group is a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact anda “promotion partner” of the Nippon Keidanren’s 2009 Declaration on Biodiversity.

Environmental Management System
The DNP Group created its own environmental
management system (EMS) in 1993, prior to the
publication of ISO14001. Our EMS uses the twin toolsof Eco-Reports and Site Eco-Reports set up by the
DNP Group Environmental Committee Promotion Office
as a framework. We also execute the “Plan-Do-CheckAction” cycle every six months.
The Eco-Reports cover trends in environmental
issues and changes in applicable laws, our coursesof action, and how well the DNP Group overall has
achieved its targets. The Eco-Reports are distributed
to the Operations & Group Company Environmental
Committees and to every business site. The Site EcoReports document each site’s targets, plans, andstatus of activities. The Operations & Group Company
Environmental Committees use the Site Eco-Reports
to gain an understanding of the situation at each siteand submit a summary report to the DNP Group
Environmental Committee.
The DNP Group Environmental Committee andthe Operations & Group Company Environmental
Committees carry out continuous improvement
activities through training teams, implementation teams,
liaison teams, etc. Progress is checked through periodic
environmental activities promotion meetings.

Eco-Audit Content and Flow
We began implementing “Eco-Audits” in 1996, so as tomake our Environmental Management System (EMS)
more effective.
Eco-Audits have the following features.
(1) Because auditors are DNP employees from sites
not being audited, they have specialized knowledge
about the products and processes and are able
to maintain an independent perspective, which
produces meaningful, objective results from the audit.
(2) In the Eco-Audit we place importance on on-site
confirmation of actual items. In addition, we point out
factors for which danger is projected and request
preventive action when needed.
(3) In addition to confirmation of compliance, we
confirm the status of continuous improvements andcorrections being made towards the achievementof the environmental targets. When necessary, we
require audited sites to review plans.
Under this system, when an audit reveals that
corrective measures are needed at a site, a “corrective
action request” is issued in writing and such actions
as necessary are managed by the DNP Group
Environmental Committee.

conducts Eco-Audits to ensure full compliance with alllaws and regulations. Our compliance efforts also
include the establishment of and strict adherence to ourown voluntary standards (air, water, noise, vibration,odor) and voluntary guidelines (chemical substancemanagement, soil contamination measures), which
exceed what is legally required.
The DNP Group handles many chemicals in its
production processes. We have drawn up a Chemical
Substance Management Guide for chemical substancehandling, and have set up levees and emergency
shutoff systems to prevent liquids from overflowing andinstalled two-tier holding tanks for the prevention of
accidents at plants handling chemicals. We also stock
up on materials that can be used during emergencies
and hold emergency response drills to ensure theproper response in the event of an occurrence.

• Soil and Groundwater Contamination
The DNP Group conducts soil inspections based uponour voluntary management guidelines. When soil
contamination is discovered, we file a report with theoffice of the governor or mayor in charge of that
prefecture or city, and upon receiving instructions fromthe local authorities, we implement appropriate
measures for removing the contamination.
In addition to continuing the purification of pumpwater at one site in FY2013, we also inspected tanks,
waste storage sites, and areas for storing equipmentthat handles waste PCBs to prevent soil contamination.

• PCB Storage
PCBs are currently in storage at 19 sites, with 145
condensers and 29 transformers; a total of 174 units.
The PCBs are contained in electrical equipment
formerly used in substation facilities at our plants.
Fluorescent lighting ballasts containing PCBs have also
been placed in storage. Storage consists of special
containers in designated storage rooms at each site,managed under the strictest conditions in accordancewith applicable regulations to ensure there is no leakage
or loss. The PCBs in storage will gradually be disposedof as required by law according to the disposal plansfor each region.
• Status of Legal Compliance
While we make all efforts to comply with environmental
laws and regulations, over the past three years we haveexperienced three incidents in which air or water quality
standards were exceeded. There are no ongoing legal
disputes involving environmental issues. We have
unfor tunately had some complaints from areas
neighboring our plants concerning noise and odors.
Whenever we receive such complaints, we respondpromptly by launching a thorough investigation into thecause of the problem and by work ing to make
improvements and prevent recurrence.

Occurrences(causes, improvements, and recurrence prevention
measures)
September 8, 2011 Chikugo Plant, DNP Nishi Nippon*
Governmental water analysis → pH and BOD measurement
values exceeded regulatory standards, so an improvement report
was submitted.
The cause of excessive pH levels was a broken CO 2 vaporizer inthe boiler drain water neutralizing apparatus. To prevent
recurrence, inspections will be improved. The cause of excessive
BOD was the use of too much boiler corrosion inhibitor. To prevent
recurrence, the type of corrosion inhibitor was changed and theamount for injection was revised downward.
March 4, 2013 Kyoto Plant, DNP Technopack
Governmental measurement of concentration ofvolatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaust air → Values
for VOC concentration exceeded the legal limit, so an improvement report was submitted.
The cause of the problem was found in the equipment thatcollects VOCs. One of the four pipes carrying activated carbon for
adsorbing VOCs was not functioning properly. To prevent a
recurrence, inspections will be improved to check that theactivated carbon is flowing properly.
February 24, 2014 Tanabe Plant, DNP Technopack
Governmental water analysis → pH measurement values exceeded regulatory standards for draining systems, so an improvement report was submitted.
The cause of excessive pH levels was the pH level of a special
detergent used for an automatic dishwasher in the kitchen. The
detergent was switched to a type that meets water quality
standards and pH levels are being monitored on an ongoing basis
to ensure that standard values are met.
* At the time of occurrence, the company name was Chikugo Plant, DNP
Technopack.

DNP Group Environmental Report 201418

Efforts to Reduce GHG Emissions Across the Entire DNP Group Supply Chain
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are one cause of global warming. The DNP Groupis taking active steps to reduce GHG emissions on a global scale.
In developing environmentally conscious products, we consider it vital tounderstand GHG emissions in the overall lifecycle of a product. We have therefore
calculated GHG emissions across our entire supply chain including main overseas
sites (for FY2011 to FY2013) (Scope 3), not only at the stage of manufacturing but
also including indirect emissions.
The Scope 3 emissions for FY2013 broke down as follows: "Manufacturing ofgoods and services" (Category 1) at 65%, which accounted for the largest portion;"Downstream transportation and distribution (finished products)" (Category 9) at
12%; "Upstream transportation and distribution (raw materials and intermediate
products)" (Category 4) at 9%; and "End of life treatment of sold products" (Category12), also at 9%. These four categories together accounted for 95% of the total.
We will continue to promote the reduction of emissions across our entire supply
chain in the future based on these results.

Calculation Method
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) formulated and released the “General Guidelines on
Supply Chain GHG Emission Accounting, Ver 1.0”*1 the standards of which our calculations*2 are based upon. (Calculated using the 11 categories
concerning DNP of the 15 Scope 3 categories. Three categories were not applicable, so were excluded from the calculation.)*1 These guidelines were drawn up for the purpose of providing calculation methods, etc., that are easy to use for Japanese companies based on the
Scope 3 Standard, an international standard from the GHG Protocol.
*2 All DNP business sites in Japan were set as the scope of calculations (excluding Hokkaido Coca-Cola Products and the Bookstore Group), in
addition to key overseas sites (PT DNP Indonesia, DNP IMS America, and Tien Wah Press (Pte.) Ltd.).
In addition, the unit values database used for our calculations can be viewed on the MOE’s Green Value Chain Platform.
(http://www.gvc.go.jp/business/estimate.html)

DNP explained its environmental initiatives to suppliers and calledon them to reduce GHG emissions throughout the supply chain.
DNP also made individual visits to major suppliers of raw
materials and began joint efforts at reductions.

• Reducing Consumption of CO2 -Generating Energy
The DNP Group’s overall greenhouse gas emissions in FY2013
totaled 965,000 tons. This breaks down as follows: energy source
CO2 emissions, 938,900 tons; non-energy source CO2 emissions,25,300 tons; methane converted to CO2 emissions equivalent, 30
tons; N2O emissions, 560 tons. There were 10 tons of emissionsof perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and 240 tons of sulfur hexafluoride(SF6), but no emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
In FY2013, our main efforts to reduce CO2 emissions included
conserving energy used for air conditioning and power, improving
production line operations, efficient heating units, etc. Energy
conservation subcommittees adapted to the characteristics ofeach business area were also formed. In FY2014, we will continue
our aggressive efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions bycontinuing with the switch to low CO2-emission fuels, introducing
energy-saving equipment such as inverters, efficient air
conditioners, and heating units, and improving production
efficiency.

Greenhouse gas emissions volume The calculation of greenhouse gas emissions at domestic production sites due to electricity use, fuel use/
combustion, burning of waste, and atmospheric emissions of HFCs/PFCs/SF6 is performed according to type of energy. For city gas, the computation is
performed according to the quantity of heat in Appendix 4, “List of City Gas Suppliers and Supplied Quantity of Heat” (revised April 15, 2013) of theRequirements for Filling Out Periodic Reports Based on Articles 15 and 19-2 of the Act on the Rational Use of Energy.
For other types of energy, the calculation is performed using the calorific value and emission factors contained in the revised Act on Promotion Global
Warning Countermeasures (an enforcement ordinance published March 31, 2010 by the Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Economy, Trade andIndustry). Additionally, for electricity emission factors, the FEPC’s 2005 point-of-use CO2 emissions unit value of 0.423 (kg-CO2 /kWh) was used uniformly.
Also, the Guideline for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculation for Businesses (Draft Ver. 1.6) (July 28, 2005, partially revised; Ministry of the Environment)
is used for recalculating the base year greenhouse gas emissions due to the change in our aggregate accounting range resulting from M&As. The 2005
(base year) figure in the graph above is the sum of 2005 domestic production site emissions and 2009 non-production site emissions.

Energy Conservation Subcommittees
In FY2013, DNP promoted energy conservation subcommittee activities adapted to thecharacteristics of each business area, crucially addressing manufacturing processes that
consume high quantities of energy. At Information Communication plants, offset rotarypress drying and deodorizing settings were optimized to reduce gas usage; at Electronics
plants clean room air conditioning was optimized to reduce power consumption; and at
Lifestyle and Industrial Supplies plants efforts were begun to optimize equipment settingsand introduce equipment to improve the efficiency of photogravure press driers and offset
sheet-fed press UV driers. Additionally, DNP developed a system to promote the use ofunutilized energy that takes the waste heat from solvent combustion equipment and uses
it for a dry laminator dryer. The system's efficacy is now being tested. Recognized for suchcompany-wide energy-saving activities, DNP was awarded the Energy Conservation
Grand Prize for Energy Conservation in the Workplace (Special Award from Judging
Committee) by the Energy Conservation Center, Japan.

Switching to Low CO2-Emission Fuels

Achieving a Low-Carbon Society• Shift to Energy with Lower CO2 Emissions
The DNP Group is making progress in the switch to low
CO2-emission fuels to reduce emissions of greenhousegases.
We have been making the switch from diesel,
kerosene, and similar high CO 2-emission petroleum
fuels into low CO2-emission utility gas, LPG (liquefied
petroleum gas), and LNG (liquefied natural gas) since
before 1990, and plan to continue to do so.
We are also moving ahead with renewable energy.
DNP Energy Systems’ Izumizaki Plant installed a solar
power generation system in 2009, while in FY2011 DNP
Technopack Tanabe Plant and Ichigaya Area South
Facility both installed solar systems that have capacitiesof 30 kW and 30.95 kW, respectively. Furthermore a 10
kW solar system was installed to the Ichigayatamachi
Building.
In FY2013 these solar power facilities produced atotal of 119,400 kWh of power. We also currently
purchase 1.46 million kWh of Renewable Energy
Cer tificates annually to cover par t of the power
consumption used by manufacturing processes within
the group (for printing, bookbinding and processing),
the showroom of the Ichigayatamachi Building andother facilities.

Chikugo Plant, DNP Technopack
System Introduced to Utilize Waste Heat from Deodorizing Equipment
Hideo Kaniyama, Technical Engineering Division, Chikugo Plant, Packaging Operations
DNP Technopack's Chikugo Plant prints on and processes both flexible packaging and containers made of ordinary
paper. At the flexible packaging plant, a deodorizer was installed to eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and theexcess heat energy generated in the combustion process was used to power
steam boilers. However, exhaust steam at a relatively low temperature of 100°C
was being released into the atmosphere.
From that point forward, we introduced a system to recycle waste heat for use
in drying—heat generated by the dry laminator, which draws a lot of power in the process ofmanufacturing flexible materials. The system was developed jointly by DNP's Integrated Manufacturing
Technology Laboratory and DNK Co., Ltd. Air is pumped into the dryer unit and heated, reducing theamount of power normally required to raise the temperature. The system is predicted to cut 30% offenergy used by the dryer unit.
We plan to take further initiatives in saving energy and achieve our targets to help prevent global
warming.

Achieving a Low-Carbon Society• Efforts in Transport
In FY2013, the group’s overall transport volume (atdomestic manufacturing sites) was 356 million tonkilometers. 23,980 kiloliters of energy (converted tocrude oil) was used in shipping, producing 61,200 tonsof CO2 emissions. The per-unit fuel use for transport(amount of fuel used/sales) was 1.66 kl/¥100 million, an
increase of 3.1% from 2010.
We will continue to implement distribution-related
environmental impact reduction measures such as the
optimization of vehicle distribution and transport routes,
improved efficiency through the installation of digitaltachometers, an idling-stop campaign, a modal shift torail transport, and the introduction of hybrid vehicles.

• Global Warming Measures for Offices and Homes
The DNP Group has been engaged in efforts to reduce
CO2 emissions both for offices and homes since 2005.
In FY2013, we worked toward our target of a 20%
reduction in power consumed at our offices throughout
Japan relative to FY2010. Specific actions that we
implemented and will continue implementing, beyond
regular energy-saving measures, include completely
revising the number of lighting fixtures and level ofillumination needed, extending the “cool biz” dress
code period, reviewing how air conditioning is run, andexpanding the use of LED lighting.

For Reduction of Environmental
Pollutants

The Air Pollution Control Act regulates substances suchas toxic air pollutants and ozone depleting substances,including sulfur oxide (SOx) and nitrogen oxide (NOx),
as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These
substances have an impact on health and the global
environment, causing problems such as photochemicalsmog and ozone layer depletion. We at the DNP Groupare working hard to monitor and reduce emissions ofsuch substances.

• Reducing VOC Emissions
Inks, solvents, adhesives, and cleaning solutions usedin the printing process contain toluene and other VOCs
(volatile organic compounds). The DNP Group’s antiVOC measures not only seek to regulate concentrations
as required under the Air Pollution Control Act, but also
to reduce emissions overall. We have been switching tosubstitute products with a lower environmental impact
and installing equipment for VOC treatment andcollection. These efforts have resulted in FY2013 in a
27.9% reduction in VOC emissions to 4,849 tons, incomparison with 2010 (base year).

We detoxify and reduce the pollution load of thewastewater from our industrial processes and dining
halls by using purification tanks and wastewater
treatment equipment. We continued to conduct
measures in FY2013, such as changing out the filtration
membranes and absorbent materials in wastewater
processing equipment, improving wastewater treatment
in our kitchens, and reducing COD (chemical oxygen

3Reducing Waste Products in Manufacturing Processes

Building a Recycling Society

To help build recycling into society we are engaged inefforts to improve resource productivity and increase
the recycling of undesired material. These efforts are
premised on the waste-free use of raw materials that go
into manufacturing processes. Undesired material isrecycled as much as possible to utilize limited resources
efficiently.
Due to the integration of the packaging division thattook place in FY2012, emissions decreased in otherdivisions in 2013 while they increased in the Lifestyleand Industrial Supplies division.
Odawara Plant, Sagami Yoki Co., Ltd.
Kazumi Nakamura, General Affairs Dept.
Sagami Yoki manufactures the laminated tubes used in people's
daily lives for toothpaste, food containers, and other items.
The employees of Sagami Yoki are working together to help
preserve and pass on the beautiful green area of Odawara tocoming generations. Based on compliance with environmental
laws and regulations we engage in activities that help to protect
biodiversity and reduce environmental impact.
We began taking action in earnest to reduce waste in
FY2010. We focused particularly on separating the waste thatcame out of the manufacturing process in order to reutilize
substances of value. Both full-time and part-time employees
re ceive d instr uction on how to separate waste. Daily
management of the waste holding area was bolstered, and we
also shared information with other plants. These activities havebeen ongoing, and in FY2013 our emissions per-unit value was
44% less than the previous year, representing a 70% reduction
from the FY2010 level.
Looking ahead, we aim to build onthese activities and strengthen
cooperation to keep total waste down,
promote recycling, and continue tomaintain a record of zero emissions
established in FY2010.

Breakdown of Generated Waste Volume

Building a Recycling Society

We use waste per unit of production (waste emissions( E + F )/production volume) as a productivity indicator.
In FY2013 waste per unit of production was 0.416 t/¥10
million, which is an improvement over 0.468 t/¥10
million in FY2010. This reduction was achieved in part
thanks to productivity gains made by implementing the
Production 21 Activities, which set out to create aresilient production system in terms of quality, cost,delivery, and other factors. It was also the result of areduction in waste volume through the extraction ofvaluable materials such as waste plastic and waste oil.
We use “zero emissions” as the indicator for thepromotion of recycling undesired materials. Zeroemissions represents an effort to reduce the landfill
waste amount ( J + K )/undesired materials production
volume A to 0.5% or less; the rate for the group overall
in FY2013 was 0.14%, an improvement from 0.54% in
the previous year. At present, 68 of our 70 domestic
manufacturing sites have achieved zero emissions.

Building a Recycling Society• Office Paper Recycling
The business of the DNP Group is closely connected topaper, and we have been separating and collecting
paper at our offices for some time. In FY2013, waste
paper was collected at 58 of 178 eligible offices,primarily large-scale offices, for a recycling rate of
78.1%, exceeding our target of 70%.

• Use of Recycled Water
We are working hard to conserve water resources bypromoting a closed-loop system in which water isrecycled and reused instead of released. In this way wehave been able to cut down on the high volume of
w a te r r e q u i r e d f o r c l e a n i n g o u r p r o d u c t s, a i r
conditioning, and heating and cooling production
machinery. We used 435.4 million cubic meters ofrecycled water in FY2013, about 32.2 times the amountof pipe water we used.

We are also making effective use of rainwater in our
office buildings and other sites. In FY2013 we used
9,500 cubic meters of rainwater for toilet flushing andthe watering of grounds.

Environmentally Conscious Materials Procurement and Products• Promoting Green Purchasing
We carry out “green purchasing” to reduce the environmental
impact of DNP’s product manufacturing processes. Greenpurchasing involves selecting and buying the mostenvironmentally conscious materials, parts, equipment, officesupplies, and other items—from the upstream production
processes forward. We also give priority in materials andequipment purchasing to suppliers that take an aggressive
approach to environmental conservation.

• Management of Chemical Substances in
Products and Materials
The RoHS Directive and REACH Regulations adopted by
the EU are examples of tougher regulations on chemical
substances in products that call upon companies toproperly ascertain and control the substances containedin raw materials and products throughout the entire supply
chain.
To meet these strict regulations, DNP significantly
revised in-house guidelines previously known as the DNPGroup Management Criteria for Chemicals, creating the
new DNP Green Purchasing Standards regarding
Chemical Substances, which went into effect in April. The
key revisions made were to use the common formats ofMSDSplus and AIS developed by JAMP for transmitting
chemical information. DNP put into operation thismanagement system in accordance with the Managementof Chemical Substances in Products—Principles andGuidelines issued by JIS, along with the Guidelines for theManagement of Chemical Substances in Products fromJAMP.
We will continue to work in conjunction with clients andsuppliers to strengthen management of chemicals in
products.

Environmentally Conscious Products and Services

Building a Recycling Society

At DNP we have created the Environmentally Conscious Products and Services Development
Guidelines to direct from the design stage the creation of environmentally conscious products, so as
to reduce the environmental impact of our products throughout their lifecycle.
In 2013 we applied an in-house point rating system to products and services, according to which
products might earn designations as "Super Eco-Products" or "Eco-Products."
We aim to increase sales of environmentally conscious products and services and expand thenumber of Super Eco-Products we offer, as well as further reducing the environmental impact of our
products and services in the future.

Building a Recycling Society• Assessment and Development of
Products Using LCA
The DNP Group has introduced Lifecycle Assessment(LCA) for evaluating the environmental impact of eachproduct over its entire lifecycle with the objective of
making improvements; LCA methodology has also been
incorporated into new product and service development.
Recently, we have been conducting efforts toward
the mitigation of global warming and reduction of water
use based on detailed data on environmental impact
obtained through LCA methods.

• Carbon Footprint
DNP began participating in the Japanese government’s“carbon footprint of product” (CFP) pilot project in
FY2008. We established product category rules (PCRs)for publications and commercially printed matter as wellas containers and packaging, for example, andreviewed verification schemes. We continue to display
the CFP mark primarily on printed matter for advertisingand publicity released by DNP.

• Creation of International Carbon Footprint
Standards for Printed Matter
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/
TC130 began discussing international CFP standards
for printed matter in 2009 and issued an international
standard in July 2013. The standardization was originallyproposed by Great Britain. DNP began participating in
the discussions as vice-chair, encouraging theorganization to incorporate Japan's CFP calculation
rules, already an advanced system. These standards
specify the basic rules for calculating CFP for printed
matter, allowing the global communication of calculation
results using Japan's existing rules.

Use of LCA and Efforts to Reduce Our Carbon Footprint• Efforts to Draft PCRs for Electronic MediaDNP also actively participated in efforts to draft ProductCategory Rules (PCRs), which are rules for calculating
CFP. DNP joined a working group for drawing up rules
for electronic media, which were then adopted as PCRs
as of June 4, 2013.

• Water Footprint Initiative
ISO 14046 is the new standard for water footprinting.
The international standard is scheduled to be publishedas early as February 2015 and is highly anticipated in
the area of environmental assessments. Calculations
will require the collection of data that takes regionality
into consideration, and also require the assessment ofenvironmental impact on water quality in addition tovolume of water used.
To clarify calculation methods proposed by the ISO
14046 standard and its calculation objectives, Japan's
Ministry of the Environment launched a study group on
calculating water footprints, at which academic experts
and corporate representatives could exchange ideas.
DNP participated in the study group as a corporate
representative, submitting opinions and examiningcases. A collection of calculation examples expected to
be issued during FY2014 will cover water footprintconcepts, various calculation methods, and a list of
examples of calculations from various companies.
DNP also continues to participate in the Water
Footprint Jissenjuku, an implementation study groupheaded by Dr. Norihiro Itsubo of Tokyo City University.
By gaining knowledge about water footprinting andgaining experience with calculation examples, it will bepossible to improve calculation accuracy.

• Environmental Efficiency inContainers and Packaging
It is important for containers and packaging to not only
have low environmental impact but be easy to use, as
they are handled frequently by consumers. For suchreasons, in FY2011 DNP began to develop environmental
efficiency rating methods based on environmental
indices, with the factor of functionality/ease of use added
in. Further research was conducted through FY2013.
In order to develop these methods into standards forthe industry, beginning in FY2014 DNP and two othermajor container manufacturers launched a study groupwithin the Life Cycle Assessment Society of Japan andbegan activities. The group aims to establish indicesand put them into action during FY2016.
Carbon Footprint

A carbon footprint represents the total emissions of greenhouse gases of a
product or service over its entire lifecycle converted to CO2 by volume. Productlabeling is a method by which a business can visually demonstrate to consumers
the measures it is taking to fight global warming, who can then make product orservice choices which take CO 2 emissions volume into consideration. LCA
methodology is used to calculate the carbon footprint.

Water Footprint

An index for converting the amount of water "used" through the entire lifecycle ofa product, etc., into a numerical value, also applicable to the amount of water(drinking water, etc.) used in the process of producing agricultural and livestock
products. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) decided tocreate an international standard for water footprinting in June 2009 and has been
studying how to systemize it.

4Realizing a Society in Symbiosis
with Nature

At DNP we understand that we gain many benefits
from ecosystems that are supported by creatures ofall kinds, and we believe that working to coexist
harmoniously and protect the environment isessential for the company to maintain sustainablegrowth. Based on this way of thinking, we work toprotect biodiversity through our business activities.
In every process, including but not limited to
product development, material procurement,
manufacturing, sales, transport, product use, anddisposal of waste, we have examined the relationshipto biodiversity. We established two key themes, bothof which affect our reliance on ecosystem services
and seriously impact biodiversity—the improvementof material procurement practices and the creation ofgreen spaces at our business sites.

Biodiversity Efforts
Material Procurement• Questionnaire on Guidelines for Procurementof Paper for Printing and Converting
Paper is a key material without which DNP could not dobusiness. In 2012 DNP therefore drafted its Guidelines
for Procurement of Paper for Printing and Convertingwith the purpose of sustainably maintaining forestry
resources. In FY2013, DNP distributed a questionnaire
to all of its suppliers in order to ascertain the currents t a te o f a f f a i r s a n d m a ke i m p r ov e m e n t s . T h equestionnaire for the suppliers, who are responsible for
9 0% of th e p u rc h a s e d a m o u nt of p r intin g a n dconverting paper, covered six categories related to such

topics as procurement policy and proof of origin.
Moving forward, DNP will work together with its
suppliers to strengthen the system of management andraise the overall percentage of paper purchased from
ecologically managed forestry resources.

DNP Group Guidelines for Procurement of Paper for Printing and Converting
3. Guidelines

Selection

4. Guidelines
for Paper
Selection

The DNP Group will give precedence to companies that fulfill the following criteria when selecting
suppliers from which to procure paper.
• Companies that have a defined policy regarding procurement of wood raw materials• Companies that have established and are implementing a management system for verifying thelegal compliance of wood raw materials• Companies that are able to provide information regarding their pulp suppliers (information forverifying criteria under Guidelines for Paper Selection)
Product selection in the procurement of paper will be based on the following guidelines.
1) Give priority to forest-certified paper2) Strive to select paper made from a higher ratio of wood raw materials obtained in a way that
fosters sustainability of forest resources• Paper made of wood harvested according to sustainable forest management methods• Paper with a higher deinked pulp content• Paper made from scraps from sawn logs, low-grade wood, and/or forest thinning wood
• Paper that contains non-wood pulp
3) Do not use paper made from wood raw materials that cannot be verified as legally compliant.
(We verify that paper does not contain illegally harvested wood.)(Excerpted)

held for employees on the topic of activities thatanyone can do to protect the river environment.

The land use and site management of plants andoffices affect a region's ecosystem, but they can also
contribute to improving the quality and sustainable useof ecosystem services.
The DNP Group creates green spaces at businesssites for the benefit of wildlife in the local area. Plant
and wildlife surveys will also be conducted at businesssites to improve their green spaces, to select suitable
plants and trees, and to update maintenance practices.
These surveys will be used in creating green spacesthat promote biodiversity at our business sites.

4Realizing a Society in Symbiosis
with Nature

The DNP Head Office is located in Ichigaya, Tokyo,
which was once covered by the great Musashino
Woods. We are currently pursuing an ambitious
plan—the Ichigaya Forest Plan—to recreate theMusashino Woods. We want to create a lush green
environment in Ichigaya similar to the Imperial Palace
and its outer moat in which wildlife can thrive andtravel from one green area to others in the vicinity.
As a step toward building this environment, DNP is
holding public "Ichigaya Forest" seminars to deepen
communication between employees and local
residents. In FY2013 three seminars were held on thetheme of "green," in addition to two events, one ofwhich was aimed at observing cicadas.
DNP "Ichigaya Forest" public seminars will continue
to be held periodically with different invited guest
lecturers as fun, useful, connective learning events.

the effects of the Ichigaya Forest on the area. The invited lecturer for the first public seminar was Mr. Tadashi Kawashima of theKiyosato Educational Experiment Project. He spoke of the importance of fun programs for learning about forests and enjoyable
hands-on learning experiences. In the second half of the seminar, participants split into groups for a workshop on forests. The
guest speaker for the second public seminar held in January was Professor Hiroshi Kamiya of Hosei University with whom DNP
has been working on a public study project of the outer moat. He spoke about how water was channeled in Tokyo in the Edo
period, the restoration of the outer moat, and the relationship between the outer moat and the Ichigaya Forest. A large numberof people participated in these seminars each time—local residents, employees, and others.
In August, an event to observe cicadas was held for employees working in the Ichigaya district and their families. Participants
collected the empty shells of cicadas at Kitanomaru Park and Yasukuni Shrine and investigated their habitat and varieties.

Basic Target and Calculation Items

Environmental Accounting Calculation Bases(1) Period covered: April 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014 (Environmental facilities are those considered as of March 31, 2014)(2) Scope of coverage: At DNP and among its domestic group companies subject to consolidated financial accounting, 33
domestic manufacturers and one distribution company (p. 44, 45), plus non-manufacturing sites (two development
centers, office buildings, sales offices, etc.). However, newly built plants are included in the capital investment.
(3) Monetary unit: All monetary figures are expressed in millions of yen, rounded off to the nearest million.
(4) Announcement format: We used the format designated in the Ministry of the Environment "Environmental Accounting
Guideline" 2005 edition.
(5) Basis for calculation of environmental conservation costs
1) Environmental conservation costs include depreciation expenses for investments.
2) Personnel costs for full-time workers were calculated at the average labor cost per person, while personnel costs forworkers holding two or more posts were calculated at 1/10 or 1/5 the average personnel cost per person, dependingon the worker's assigned duty.
3) R&D costs are the total costs incurred by our four R&D centers and development departments within each operations
field in the development of environmentally conscious products and manufacturing equipment.
(6) Basis for calculation of environmental conservation benefits
1) DNP uses energy consumption per unit of sales as an efficiency indicator for the volume of resources (energy andwater) spent on business activities, as well as for the volume of waste materials and CO2 emissions.
2) Benefits apply to all volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including chemical substances subject to the PRTR Law
among the atmospheric environmental pollutant emissions volume corresponding to business area costs.
3) The benefit related to goods produced by business activities was reduction of the volume of greenhouse gases
emitted from all products shipped. Specifically, of the GHG emissions calculated according to the Scope 3 standards
listed on p. 19, the categories used were: part of Category 4 (Upstream transportation & distribution), Category 9(Downstream transportation & distribution), Category 10 (Processing of sold products), Category 11 (Use of soldproducts), and Category 12 (End of life treatment of sold products).
4) The benefit corresponding to the transportation environmental impact is converted to the energy usage reduction
benefit to the shipper at the time the goods, etc., are transported.
(7) Basis for calculation of economic benefit of environmental conservation activities
1) The benefit corresponding to resource circulation costs is calculated as the benefit from savings on waste disposal
costs. The amount of reduction is calculated as follows: (Benchmark period unit consumption – unit consumption for
current period) × amount of business activity for current period.
2) Amount of business activity is based on domestic consolidated sales.
3) Unit consumption is calculated as: waste disposal cost / domestic consolidated sales.
4) The benchmark period unit consumption is the gross average value for the three-year period up to and including theprevious term.

FY2013 Assessments of Performance Data of Environmental Accounting

Environmental Conservation Benefits(1) Energy consumption, water usage, and greenhouse gas emissions were again reduced from the previous year thanks to energy-saving and water-saving efforts and theeffects of factory streamlining. This resulted in an improvement in unit consumption.
(2) Emissions of VOCs into the air were reduced from the previous year as a result of efforts to introduce more VOC collection and removal equipment. Waste emissions
increased from the previous year due to a period of shift away from valuable materials, and unit consumption worsened.
(3) Regarding the benefits related to goods produced by business activities, CO2 emissions after product shipment increased due to greater shipping distances, and unit
consumption worsened.
(4) Regarding distribution, efforts were made to streamline the allocation of vehicles and transport routes, but energy usage increased due to greater shipping distances andenergy usage amount/gross sales also worsened.
Economic Benefits of Environmental Conservation Activities(1) Sales of environmentally conscious products are moving steadily toward the FY2015 sales target of 400 billion yen.
(2) Business income from recycling undesired materials was reduced from the previous year due to a period of shift away from valuable materials.
(3) The economic benefits calculated according to the basis outlined in (7) of the "Environmental Accounting Calculation Bases" on p. 37 were reduced, and unit consumption
for the fiscal year worsened even though efforts were made to reduce waste emissions.
Ongoing Efforts(1) Make further improvements in eco-efficiency through Production 21 Activities.
(2) Systematically promote replacement with energy-saving equipment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
