Chemical Product Safety and Security Trade Control Initiatives
PolicyAs a trading company that handles chemical substances, we are strengthening our compliance structure to ensurecompliance with internal and external chemical regulations.
Specific Initiatives
Compliance with Domestic and Foreign Chemical Substances Laws and Regulations
When commencing transactions with a new trading partner, we use our own import/export consultation system todetermine whether the transactions all under Japan’s Export Trade Control Order or Import Trade Control Order as well as
the laws and regulations of other countries, and if so, to determine what actions must be taken. We conduct internal
screenings and maintain records of the results of those screenings. Only after these procedures are completed do we
conduct the actual transaction. Recently, even countries that formerly were developing countries or less developed
countries have been enacting laws relating to chemical products. We obtain information on domestic and foreign laws andregulations from external organizations, share that information internally, and make investments for the introduction ofsystems to comply with those laws and regulations.

Environmental Impact Reductions
Policy1. Expand sales of environmentally friendly products
2. Build and establish chemical substance management and regulatory compliance systems
Specific Initiatives
Expand sales of environmentally friendly products
In FY2020, we launched sales of 56 new environmentally friendly products (annual target of 30). Environmentally friendly
products accounted for 18.8% of total sales.
Projects that are expected to lead to reductions in electric power consumption during product use, projects that lower fuelconsumption and lead to energy savings through lightweight parts and bodies, projects that are expected to lead to reduced
energy consumption during manufacturing, and other projects with “energy savings” as their keywords account for
approximately 30% of all projects. In addition, projects that will lead to less waste as a result of longer life spans of final
products and other measures for approximately 10%. We determined that approximately 20% of projects can be expected
to reduce Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and improve working environments through means such as selling waterbased chemicals that do not use organic solvents. Furthermore, approximately 10% of projects use alternatives tosubstances subject to regulation such as phthalates, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), etc.
Going forward, we will continue working with customers to expand sales of environmentally friendly products.
