(3) Strengthen company-wide energy conservation project
Reduce unit energy*2

65.1% of the 1990
level

Reduce unit CO2
emissions to 68.7% of1990 level (less than 2012level)

Unit CO2 emissions
was 67.8% of the1990 level*1 The final landfill amounts at each plant were as follows: Takaoka Plant: 3.4 to 0; Mizushima Plant: 5.4 to 1.3; R&D Center: 0.9 to 0.
*2 Per production volume*3 The annual unit CO2 emissions reduction target of 1% below the 2010 level was calculated as follows: 0.7100 (2010 level) x (0.99) √ 4 = approx. 68.2%.
The annual unit energy consumption reduction target of 1% below the 2010 level was likewise calculated to equal 65.1%.

There were no environment incidents* in fiscal 2013.
ZEON Corporation offices continue to maintain the FY2011 achievement of zero industrial waste emissions. ZEON groupcompanies had a final landfill amount of more than 600 tons in 2007, but that figure was reduced to around 10 tons in both2012 and 2013, which is roughly 0.4% of the 2007 industrial waste amount, and can therefore be viewed as zero emissions.
We will continue to promote further reductions in order to reach 0.1% or less of the 2007 amount, as we have done atZEON Corporation offices.
Acrylonitrile emission reduction plans are behind schedule, but we are now investigating the introduction of equipment forthis purpose.
We will continue to work towards reducing unit energy consumption and CO 2 emissions by an average of 1% per year.
* Environmental incident
In company rules, an environmental incident is defined as, "Any instance in which standards set by laws related to the environment, or standards set
independently are not met. Or, any instance in which there is a chance that standards will not be met under normal procedures , even if standards are actuallymet. Or, any instance a complaint is received or a complaint would have been received if things had been left alone, even if there is no set standard."-2-
