Introduction to Zeon Kasei Co., Ltd.
Zeon Kasei Co., Ltd. was established in 1981 from the “Manufactured Products Division” ofZeon Corparation. As the core company in the category of manufactured products within
the ZEON Group, Zeon Kasei has developed by business expansion of “Plastic*1

Compounds ,” “Packing Materials,” “Housing Materials,” “Films,” “Thermal ConductiveSheets,” “Deodorants” and “Logistics Materials.” As part of our global strategy, in Feb.
*22012 we established a factory for “Powder Compounds for slush molding ” in China, whichstarted commercial production in July. Furthermore, we launched a Vietnam plant for

President Yoshiro Ogura“STEC™,” distribution container for synthetic rubbers, in 2013.
Based on the keywords “Ecology” and “Amenity,” we continue contributing to society in various fiel ds.

1. Saving Energy with our ProductsInFebruary2012,

amajorconsumerelectronics

manufacturer

adoptedourhigh-thermal-conductivity sheet for its LED lamps. Since then, the number of companies
employing our sheets has been increasing. LED lighting, which consumes little electric
power, is gaining attention as a key solution for saving electricity.
Dissipating the heat that LED lamps create is crucial to realizing their energy-saving
benefits. Our high-thermal-conductivity sheet was adopted in recognition of the superb
balance it achieves between various properties, including lateral cooling performance (at aright angle to its exterior and interior surfaces), flexibility, and adhesiveness. We expect theapplication of this product to expand since heat dissipation solutions are needed not only inlighting but in a wide range of applications from electronic devices to automotive parts.

2. Reducing Waste in Our Operations
From fiscal 2012, we grew a green curtain at the office building of the Ibaraki Factory as
a part of our summer energy conservation measures, which we also implemented at theYamaguchi Plant in fiscal 2013. We planted bitter melon and Ryukyu morning glory inplanters and tended them with care. We are reducing our air conditioner usage andtherefore our power consumption as the green curtain shades the building from thesunlight. In addition, caring for the plants helped raise employee consciousness ofsaving 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
thIbaraki Zeon Kasei participated in the 5 Bando City Cherry Blossom Festival organized byBando 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 April, September and the following
February, making a total of three times in fiscal 2013. 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 hope for manners to improve.
