1. Saving Energy with our Products
In February 2012, a major consumer electronics manufacturer adopted our high-thermal-conductivity sheet for its LED lamps.
Since then, our application development over a broad array of products, including electronic equipment applications
requiring heat dissipation measures and automotive component applications have progressed.

2. Reducing Waste in Our Operations
From fiscal 2012, we grew a green curtain at the office building of the Ibaraki Factory as apart of our summer energy conservation measures, which we also implemented at theYamaguchi Plant in fiscal 2013. In fiscal 2014, we have implemented these again at bothplants. We planted bitter melon and Ryukyu morning glory in planters and tended themwith care. We are reducing our air conditioner usage and therefore our power consumption
as the green curtain shades the building from the sunlight. In addition, caring for the plants
helped raise employee consciousness of saving electricity and also their eco-awareness.

Moreover, at Zeon Kasei, we are abiding by our zero landfill goal, which we implemented at
all of our factories in April 2011.

1. Participating in the Bando City Cherry Blossom Festival
Ibaraki Zeon Kasei participated in the 5th Bando City Cherry Blossom Festival organizedby Bando City on April 5 and 6, 2014.
The cherry blossom bloomed early in fiscal 2013 so the festival that year was held when
the trees were in leaf. This year, however, the trees were in full bloom, and the both days
were full of activity. We will also support this festival next year as we try to strengthen
local connections.

2. Participating in the Tokyo Station Regional Joint Patrol
The Zeon Kasei Head Office has been participating in the joint patrol of the areasurrounding Tokyo Station since November 2012 as a Zeon Group initiative. We collectedgarbage in the area surrounding Tokyo Station in July and the following March, making a
total of two times in fiscal 2014. The garbage bags were completely filled after just one
hour as a lot of garbage had been dropped in the middle of the streets, including plastic
umbrellas and cigarette ends. We will continue to participate in this activity while we hopefor manners to improve.
