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 to determine
whether the transactions all under Japan’s Export Trade Control Order or Import Trade Control Orderas well as the laws andregulations of other countries, and if so, to determine what actions must be taken. We conduct internal screenings andmaintain records of the results of those screenings. Only after these procedures are completed do we conduct the actualtransaction. Recently, even countries that formerly were developing countries or less developed countries have beenenacting laws relating to chemical products. We obtain information on domestic and foreign laws and regulations fromexternal organizations, share that information internally, and make investments for the introduction of systems to comply withthose 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 2018, we launched sales of 57 new environmentally friendly products (annual target of 30). Environmentally friendly
products accounted for 20.0% 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, we determined that approximately 20% of projects can be expected to reduce
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through means such as selling water-based chemicals that do not use organic solvents.
In addition, approximately 10% of projects were able to conserve resources such as mineral resources, improve working
environments at manufacturing sites, or use alternatives to substances subject to regulation such as phthalates. Goingforward, we will continue working with customers to expand sales of environmentally friendly products.
FY 2018 Topics
The manager of the Nagoya Branch gave a presentation at an internal conference on measures being taken to expand salesof environmentally friendly materials. The Nagoya Branch has engaged in particularly high number of such initiatives andboasts a large number of measures that lead to sales. We hope that other departments and branches will make use of thisinformation and that numerous projects conducted this fiscal year and later will lead to sales.
