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 Orderas 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 weconduct the actual transaction. Recently, even countries that formerly were developing countries or less developedcountries 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.
* Import/export consultation system
When conducting import/export transactions, our proprietary system monitors applicable country laws and regulations on chemic al
substances and applicable import and export orders issued by the Japanese government, determines import and export possibility, andmaintains records of the results and the basis.

We conduct education for all domestic sales staff on regulations related to chemical substances each year. The
fundamentals are covered repeatedly with the aim of ensuring reliable compliance with 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 FY 2019, we launched sales of 83 new environmentally friendly products (annual target of 30). Environmentally friendly
products accounted for 19.2% 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 20% of all projects. In addition, projects that will lead to less waste as a result of longer life spans of finalproducts and other measures for approximately 20%. We determined that just under 20% of projects can be expected toreduce 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.
Going forward, we will continue working with customers to expand sales of environmentally friendly products.
