Sales expansion of environmentally sound products
Since acquiring ISO 14001 certification on December 1, 2006, Tokyo Zairyo Co. has viewed increasing sales ofenvironmentally friendly products as a key environmental objective. In fiscal 2012, we launched 42 newenvironmentally friendly products (against our goal of 30), by cultivating demand in this category. Still, the sales ratioof environmentally friendly products has dipped slightly since fiscal 2008, given that we posted sales retroactively.
We plan to increase this percentage by boosting sales of plastics, chemical products, and chemicals for fuel-efficienttires that use plant-derived raw material, while at the same time reviewing our lineup of environmentally friendly
products.

Promotion of Compliance
As a company that deals in chemical substances, we are reinforcing compliance systems for observing laws andregulations on chemical substances in Japan and overseas.
1.

Global shared system for information on chemical substance regulations
We built a trilingual (Japanese, English, Chinese) system that allows sales staff in Japan and overseas toconfirm information on chemical substance regulations. By inputting the CAS registry number, the user canconfirm information, such as UN-classified dangerous goods and existing chemical substances.

We continued employee training programs in fiscal 2012. Basic training on chemical substance regulations andtraining on Japan's Export Trade Control Order was conducted for all sales staff in Japan. Overseas, we
provided training on China's Regulations on Safe Management of Hazardous Chemicals for employees at ouraffiliated companies in China.

Global human resource development
As a part of our global human resource development, our young employees participate in technological training
conducted by major overseas suppliers. At the same time, we also implement practical measures that aim toincrease the number of overseas business trips which domestic sales staff take.

Promoting technological training
Staff with specialized technical expertise hold sessions for young employees andmid-career hires to deepen their technical knowhow, including basic properties ofrubber and resins, and compound agents. Our goal is to arm our employees withtechnical expertise so that they can make proposals that accurately match customer
needs.
