Revising Our Materiality Issues
meeting engages in such activities as reporting andproviding recommendations to the Executive Officers’
Meeting and the Board of Directors. Beneath this committee,
we have established seven teams to handle important
issues. When it becomes necessary to consider or draft
important items, the committee chairman appoints a task
force to address them.

In November 2021, we revamped our structure, establishingthe “Sustainability Committee” as an outgrowth of the CSR
Committee. Chaired by the chairman and CEO, thiscommittee oversees the drafting, formulation, planning, andimplementation of sustainability activities, and monitors andinvestigates information in addition to formulating basic
policies, establishing an operational structure, and setting
and discussing targets and indicators. In addition, theIn 2019, we identified seven material issues of particularimportance in our pursuit of sustainability for business andsociety. When formulating our medium-term management
plan commencing in fiscal 2022, we reviewed materiality
once again in order to realize the purpose and vision set
forth by the Sustainability Committee. After reviewing thestatus of the value chain surrounding the Group’s businessactivities, its impact on the environment and society, andother issues to be taken into account, we decided to utilize
the current framework.By presenting specific initiatives andgoals and putting them into easy-to-understand language,
we have clarified the issues that each employee needs toaddress and made it easier for them to understand the valueof their work, thereby increasing their motivation.

Response to Climate Change
For many years, Tokyo Seimitsu has set its own targets andworked to conserve energy at its production sites, theHachioji and Tsuchiura plants. In order to achieve thereduction targets required of signatories to the Paris
Agreement* 3 and the 2030 target for reducing greenhousegases set by the Japanese government on April 22, 2021, we
have set new medium- and Medium- and long term
reduction targets for CO₂ emissions for energy used andconsumed at both plants (Scope 1 and 2), including forbusiness activities, production activities, and research anddevelopment.

Sustainability
Special

Stakeholder
Engagement

We recognize it is impossible to achieve these goals byconserving electricity alone. Accordingly, we are working
to decrease electricity consumption by using electricity
produced using renewable and low-carbon sources, andswitching to high-efficiency equipment.
In addition to setting CO₂ emission reduction targets, we have
set targets for reducing water risk in corporate activities anddecreasing the consumption of paper as a resource. We havealso set target recycling rates that will help drive the transition
to a resource-recycling society. We are working to achievethese targets and are monitoring and evaluating our results.

Medium and Long -By fiscal 2025, reduce CO₂ emissions by 35% from 2018 levels (year target set : 2021)

Eco-Products (Environmental Contribution through Products)
Approach and Initiatives▶ By providing precision measuring instruments that are indispensable in the highefficiency product production processes of the manufacturers that are its customers, and semiconductor
manufacturing equipment that contributes to the production of electrical appliances that help conserve
energy and resources, the Tokyo Seimitsu Group has contributed to making society more convenient and to
reducing environmental impacts. Going forward, as well, we believe it is our role to continue being a responsible
manufacturing company that provides safe, high-quality, high-performance, and environmentally friendly
products.

New Product Development Screening
We screen the environmental performance of new products
based on our own internal regulations (TES*5), and work todevelop environmentally friendly products. In accordancewith the new product development screening rules, we
set up a product development screening committee andconduct deliberations for each product planning theme. The

screening rules stipulate principles to be considered during
development and design, and include the examination ofenvironmental performance in terms of compactness andminimization of the number of parts, as well as environmental
measures.

Development of Environmentally Friendly Products■ Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment

The AP3000 is a next-generation ultra-high-performance probing machine developed as a
successor to the UF3000EX. It achieves high precision, high throughput, low vibration, andquietness. We succeeded in reducing CO₂ emissions from LCA by 11.72% compared to theUF3000EX. (The number of years in service is calculated as 15 years.) The product carries
forward the functions and operability of the previous model and maintains compatibility withrecipe and map data, to offer safe and reliable ease of use.

■ Precision Measuring Instruments

SURFCOM NEX surface texture and contour measuring instrument has undergone a significant
renewal into SURFCOM NEX (DX2/SD2), which combines high efficiency, versatility, andreliability. Through improvements to the tracing driver and electric column drive mechanism, we
achieved an impressive drive speed 1.6 times that of conventional machines of the same type in
the X-axis (left/right) direction and 5 times in the C-axis (up/down) direction. In combination witha newly developed hybrid detector capable of simultaneously measuring surface texture andcontours at up to 26mm in the Z direction, the product is able to efficiently measure any
workpiece in a short time. As a result of this, we were able to reduce CO₂ emissions from theequipment during use by about 10%. Precision is guaranteed over a wide temperature range of
20℃±5℃, enabling highly reliable measurements even in environments where temperature
control is difficult.

The Company recognizes its responsibility for theenvironmental impacts of its products over their entire life
cycles. In 2016, the Technical Working Group (Technical WG)of the CSR Committee unified the calculation standards forconverting emissions to CO₂ at every stage from productmanufacturing to disposal (life cycle assessment : LCA). The
CO₂ emissions derived through this method are set as
essential evaluation items in new product development

test processing, and other work. Accordingly, we are continuing initiatives to reduce our usage of electricity andwater. Moreover, as the equipment has large numbers of mechanical parts and many paper drawings are used
for parts processing and assembly, we are working to use electronic data in processing and assembly to reduce
the use of paper, among other initiatives to cut resource consumption. We are also striving to recycle metal
processing scrap and waste liquid from processing as much as possible.

The Company also manufactures freezers that use
HFC* 8 gases, for use in semiconductor manufacturing
equipment. We properly manage the refrigerant gas,
discharging almost no gas to the outside. We are also
switching to gas refrigerants that have low global
warming coefficients.

Promotion of Global Warming Prevention (Toward a Carbon-Free Society)■ Electricity and CO₂*■ Water● Tokyo Seimitsu’s CO₂ emissions

The greenhouse gases emitted by the Company consist
primarily of the CO₂ equivalent of electricity purchased andused in the operation of the Hachioji Plant and Tsuchiura
Plant. As a global warming prevention measure, we arefocusing on conserving electricity. Specifically, we aresystematically switching to LED lighting, installing humandetection sensors and solar panels, and upgrading to highefficiency, energy-saving air-conditioners, compressors,and other equipment. To effectively achieve CO₂ reductions,
we upgraded heat-source facilities and adopted CO₂-freeelectricity* 7 in fiscal 2021, and have confirmed a CO₂
emissions reduction effect. We will make all possible efforts
to reduce carbon and move closer to a carbon-free society.

Control of Chemical Substances Contained in Products
We conduct briefing sessions for suppliers to request strict
control and reporting related to chemical substances
contained in the parts we procure. So far, over 400
suppliers have participated. With the cooperation of
suppliers, since fiscal 2016 we have conducted cloudbased surveys on the RoHS Directive, REACH regulations,and other topics. In addition, since July 2017 we havemanaged six substances related to Metrology Company
products in accordance with the RoHS Directive. Our export
products for the EU region are 100% compliant with thedirective. We are also examining the four types of phthalicacid that will be added to the RoHS Directive from July
2021. We have confirmed conformity for these substancesand have begun shipments. While Semiconductor Company
products are exempt from the RoHS Directive as large-scalestationary industrial equipment, we are gradually adapting
these to the directive as well. In fiscal 2018, we established28

We currently supply maintenance parts to customers in approximately 40 countries around the world. We are responding to thechallenges posed by COVID-related lockdowns and the numerous logistics problems stemming from current global
circumstances by working to propose routes that are both optimal and shortest. To achieve this, we are sharing information
with shipping and cargo-handling companies.

■ Consignment (External Inventory) Support■ Inventory Management

We stock maintenance parts at 17 locations in Japan andoverseas to facilitate emergency supplies. This arrangement
is working effectively under current conditions that arechallenging in terms of logistics and material availability. In
additio n, the CE S to ck S earch S ystem faci l itates
information-sharing on the status of all inventories. This
makes it possible for locations to support each other in theevent of an emergency.

We ensure an appropriate inventory level of parts in a timely
manner in light of changing conditions. Parts can be orderedwith an automated system using MRP, which reduces laborhours, speeds arrangements, and prevents ordering errors,
thereby maintaining the number of parts in stock.

■ Strict Compliance on Overseas Exports
We ensure strict compliance by responding appropriately tovarious export regulations in the face of ever-changing
international situation and environmental issues.

Support Structure (Precision Measuring Instrument Business)
Maintaining Support Quality Despite the Pandemic
As we work to maintain or enhance support quality despite COVID-19, we are taking into consideration the safety and securityof our customers and implementing infection prevention measures in accordance with our guidelines.

Approach and Initiatives▶ Adopting the slogan “No measurement, no manufacturing.” Tokyo Seimitsu’s Precision
Measuring Instrument Business sees providing society with precision and reliability, not merely selling measuring instruments,
as the origin of manufacturing. Armed with this understanding, we conduct support activities aimed at creating the future forour customers using precision measurement technologies. No manufacturing is possible without the process of measuring.
We further believe that measuring accurately is an indispensable task in order for our customers to reliably provide productsthat earn the trust of society. Toward that end, we have established a structure to provide various forms of support.

◦Working from home ◦Act in a way that social distancing is always kept in mind
◦Returning home directly after business trips

Initiatives by Metrology Centers◦Avoid multiple people traveling in one Company vehicle◦Employ other remote supports that meet the needs from restrictions on business travel

Tokyo Seimitsu has established four Metrology Centers, in Tsuchiura, Hachioji, Nagoya, and Osaka, to provide close support toour customers. Engineers with sufficient knowhow of measurement technologies and the operation of measuring instruments
are stationed at the Centers to meet our customers’ diverse needs.

■ New Remote Support Project
We have established the GSE-led ACCT GLOBAL REMOTESUPPORT (AGRS) team and launched a remote support
project. This project, which involves the use of smart
glasses* 3 , was established mainly by young employees
around Japan. By running and managing this project, we aim
to build a customer support structure that is unaffected bycircumstances, while learning work methods and principles
of conduct.

CSR Fulfillment Together with Suppliers
Training of Engineers Overseas
In our global service departments, service engineers from different countries come together at the Metrology
Center in the Tsuchiura Plant to undergo intensive training and drills. Given the difficulty for service engineers
abroad to travel to Japan, however, we create and provide video teaching materials to improve the skills of suchengineers.

Experience the Tokyo Seimitsu Value

Approach and Initiatives▶ In providing high-performance, high-quality products to customers, theTokyo Seimitsu Group views all suppliers that provide the necessary materials, parts, and services asimportant partners. To build WIN-WIN relationships with those suppliers, it is vital that we fulfill oursocial responsibilities throughout the supply chain, in terms of not only safety and quality but also humanrights and labor, occupational safety and health, the environment, ethics, and information security, fullycomplying with laws and social norms. Each supplier, acting autonomously as a responsible company thatmeets the needs of the international community while collaborating with our Group, builds a strong value
chain and engages in high-value-added manufacturing.

Supplier CSR Survey Activities
Since fiscal 2016, we have used the “SCM (Supply Chain
Management) Check Sheet” to survey suppliers’ compliancewith CSR. The average score of the 166 responding
companies was 88.7 points out of 100. Of the scores, 4.8%
were in the 70s, 51.2% in the 80s, and 44.0% in the 90s.
By category, the three items with the lowest percentages
were “Promotion of women’s advancement in labor andemployment management,” “Biodiversity,” and “Business
continuity.” We work through our Workshop for Suppliers tomake improvements in these areas. We confirmed thatproper management is being performed for the other fiveitems, and shared this confirmation. We are also deepening
close cooperative relationships with suppliers by means
including direct visits to ask about CSR compliance status
and areas of difficulties and to discuss support for resolving
problems. By doing so, we are promoting collaboration to

Human Rights

Occupational Health and Safety

Approach and Initiatives▶ The Tokyo Seimitsu Group recognizes that it is essential to respect the humanrights not only of its employees but also of the stakeholders involved in the Group’s business. Accordingly, we
ensure compliance with the five items of the “ACCRETECH Group Code of Conduct,” which is clearly stated in “2.
Respect for Human Rights.”

Approach and Initiatives▶ Within the ACCRETECH Group Code of Conduct, “3. Consideration for safety andthe environment” clearly states that we strictly observe laws and regulations related to occupational healthand safety in the regions where the Company operates, as well as rules established for the prevention ofoccupational accidents. Many devices, parts, tools, and machine tools from the Tokyo Seimitsu Group, amanufacturer of machinery, can be found at manufacturing and distribution sites. As our products consist ofequipment used in production, many tasks such as delivery, installation, maintenance, and inspection occur
in the unfamiliar environments of customers’ production sites. By carefully investigating risks associatedwith these, observing and predicting the movement and flowline of workers, and implementing measures tominimize safety risks, we promote occupational health and safety initiatives so that everyday work actions
can be carried out safely and rationally.

Respect for Human Rights（1）The ACCRETECH Group respects fundamental humanrights.
（2）ACCRETECH Group executives and employees shallrespect the personality and individuality of all
stakeholders, welcome diversity, and shall notdiscriminate on the basis of gender, age, nationality,
ethnicity, race, physical or mental disability, genderorientation, culture, religion, ideological or politicalbeliefs, national origin or family background, etc.
（3）ACCRETECH Group executives and employees shallnot engage in harassment, slander, jokes, sexual
advances, or other verbal or physical harassment (inother words, sexual harassment, power harassment,
and maternity harassment) or any other harassmentthat offends personal dignity or disrespects one’s
character, based on gender, authority, position, orother factors.
（4）The ACCRETECH Group complies with the laborrelated laws and regulations of the regions in which it
operates, and respects and does not infringe on thefundamental rights of workers. We do not engage inillegal or inappropriate acts, such as unfair labor,
forced labor, or child labor, in any aspect of ourbusiness activities. In addition, we will ask ourbusiness partners and others for their understanding
and strongly request that they comply with laborrelated laws and regulations, respect and protect basic
labor rights, and eliminate illegal and inappropriate
behavior.

（5）The ACCRETECH Group provides employees with
opportunities to demonstrate their abilities andachieve self-fulfillment, and evaluates the results of
their abilities in an objective and fair manner. We also
support our employees’ efforts to improve theirabilities through education and training programs andsystems.
We instruct our Group companies in Japan and overseas toverify the age of employees and to comply with local laws
and regulations to prevent child labor and to ensure that no
employee is restrained in a manner that constitutes forcedlabor. We also perform regular audits. We conduct e-learningon this Code of Conduct on a regular basis.

At the Tsuchiura Plant, managers and general staff conduct
weekly 5S patrols, while Health and Safety Subcommittee
members perform monthly safety patrols. In cases where
improvements are needed, follow-up patrols are conducted
after the improvements are proposed, to confirm theeffectiveness of the patrols. At the Hachioji Plant, we
conduct safety inspections of all workplaces once a year
through teams composed of several persons, including thePlant Manager. On safety inspections, we use a check sheet
to identify safety risks. At workplaces where risks are
discovered, we conduct follow-up inspections following a
set period of time after directions for improvement areissued, to confirm the effectiveness of the improvements.

We regularly carry out 5S patrols to promote the tidying andordering of workplaces. Using a scoring system introducedin fiscal year 2017, we commend high-scoring workplaces
twice a year, increasing 5S awareness in every workplace.

Handling of Chemicals and Chemical Substances
When considering the purchase of industrial chemicals, we
conduct a chemical substance risk assessment to check forthe presence of contained environmental pollutants (organic
solvents, specified chemical substances, hazardous
materials, etc.), in accordance with our internal regulations.
The department in charge of this matter at the Hachioji Plant
decides whether to purchase the chemicals based on the
results of assessments conducted at the Hachioji andTsuchiura plants. In fiscal 2021, 87 new chemical substancerisk assessments were conducted at the two plants, both for
new uses and for reviews of existing uses. We require
divisions that manage and use chemical substances to
conduct regular inspections and regular quantity checks.
We also conduct internal environmental audits inaccordance with ISO 14001, and carry out patrols ofchemical management and storage status through theRegulated Substance Control Working Group under the
Safety and Health Committee.

Assurance of Safety Outside of Plants
Operations at our plants that mainly supply semiconductor
manufacturing equipment take place in what are known as superclean rooms. The special clean room clothing worn during work inthese rooms narrows the field of view and restricts movement. The
Service Expert Committee of the Semiconductor Equipment
Association of Japan (SEAJ) aims to improve the quality ofmaintenance services for semiconductor manufacturing equipment
and other products and to eliminate accidents involving service
personnel. In addition to guidelines for entering clean rooms in theevent of a disaster, the subcommittee promotes efforts to create
work checklists and guidelines for preventing COVID-19 infections
among field service engineers. In addition, SEAJ’s Safety Training
Subcommittee is working to make safety training for installation,
maintenance, and ser vice personnel of semiconductor
manufacturing equipment an industry standard, as “SEAJ
recommended safety training.” Our employees on the SEAJ Safety
Training Subcommittee conduct online work safety training for CEs
and manufacturing/design engineers at the Semiconductor

Company, as well as for internal and regional offices. In fiscal 2021,
388 people attended our internal courses.

Disaster and Accident Prevention
Approach and Initiatives▶ The Tokyo Seimitsu Group conducts systematic drills, maintains stockpiles, andorganizes a self-defense fire brigade as a disaster-prevention countermeasure organization to prepare for inplant explosions, fires, toxic gas leaks, and natural disasters such as earthquakes and wind and water damage.

Evacuation Drills for All Sections
Each year, each plant’s Disaster Prevention Subcommittee plans
and conducts emergency evacuation drills for all departments inthe plant. In fiscal 2021, the Hachioji Plant conducted an evacuation
drill using “protecting yourself from disasters” as an e-learning
theme. To complete the course, participants were required to passa test (scoring 80 points or more). The details of such training arereported to the Tokyo Fire Department, by submitting a “Notice of

Self-Defense Fire Drill Implementation.” At the Tsuchiura Plant, drills
were conducted to teach employees how to use f ire
extinguishers and what to do as the initial action to put out fire, inthe event of a conflagration resulting from an earthquake or othercauses. All participants (40 people) received instruction andguidance on the use of fire extinguishers from an invited lecturer
from Japan Protect Co.

Self-Defense Fire Brigade
At the Hachioji and Tsuchiura plants, we organize selfdefense fire brigades and conduct regular training one or
two times a month according to annual plans. The company
also participates in an annual “self-defense firefighting
training review” hosted by the Hachioji Fire Department. In
this competition, self-defense fire brigades from businessestablishments in the city gather to compete in a heatedcompetition to test the effectiveness of their daily training
based on speed and accuracy of indoor fire hydrant
operation. For fiscal 2021, personnel from the Hachioji Fire

Department visited each
operation site to conductindividual reviews, and theHachioji Plant received anaward for excellence.

Emergency Scenario Training
In every division, we conduct emergency scenario training
for splash prevention, recovery/cleaning, and other tasks insituations such as hazardous substance leaks. A training

and a report is submitted following training. In fiscal year
2021, the Hachioji Plant conducted independent training 38
times for 12 divisions. At the Tsuchiura Plant, 107 people
from the plant department took part in chemical cleaning
agent splash prevention training.

Emergency Stockpiles
Based on the “Rules of managing stockpiles for majordisasters,” each year we review our stockpiled quantities
and the storage of drinking water, food, and other necessary
supplies.

As of the end of fiscal 2021, the Hachioji Plant had stockpiles
sufficient to supply 1,583 people for three days. The
Tsuchiura Plant had quantities sufficient for 30 people fortwo days.

Traffic Safety During Commuting and Business Trips
Every year, the Hachioji Plant and the Tsuchiura Plant invite
lecturers from the traffic section of their local police stations
to hold seminars on traffic regulations and traffic safety.
Employees authorized to drive company cars are required toattend the seminar, as are commuting employees who havereceived permission to park a car, a motorcycle, or a bicycle
at the Company.

In this sort of “adoption” program,■ Learning the Way of Manufacturing in Hachioji
The city of Hachioji, in the Tokyo metropolitan area, has many
fundamental technologies-related companies with advanced
technological capabilities, and companies, research institutes,
and universities with outstanding product development
capabilities. The proportion of these is particularly large in thetwo high technology fields of electronics and devices andelectrical machinery. Every year since fiscal year 2016, the Nihon
Kogakuin College of Hachioji has invited industry leaders frommanufacturing and other companies in Hachioji City as lecturers
for a special class (Learning the Way of Manufacturing in Hachioji)that communicates to students preparedness for becoming
members of society, the appeal of manufacturing and of Hachioji,
and other topics. Students attending the class aim to put thecontent of these lectures to use in future classes, practicaltraining, job hunting, and career design, to achieve their dreams
and goals. Our Company took part in the first class, and again in
the fourth class in January 2020. On the theme of “Current Statusof State-of-the-Art Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment:
Supplied from Hachioji to the World,” the Tokyo Seimitsu Hachioji
Plant Manager drew on smartphones, automobiles, rockets, andother familiar objects to talk about how our semiconductor

manufacturing equipment and world-class precision measuring
technologies are used in the manufacture of cutting-edge
technology products that move people’s lives forward. Attending
students expressed surprise at the depths of Tokyo Seimitsu’s
involvement in the industrial development of Japan.

The Board of Directors comprehensively examines whether
shares held as cross-holdings are worthwhile based on risk andreturn from perspective of medium- to long-term economic
rationality, and qualitative considerations such as the purposeof holding and credit status. If this examination results in the
judgment that it is not worthwhile to retain cross-holdings, inprinciple such holdings are reduced. However, if it is determinedthat holding of such shares will contribute toward theimprovement of medium- to long-term corporate value, they areretained. As a result of such deliberation, the Company sold 15
cross-shareholdings (including shares subject to deemedholding) for ¥7,421 million between April 2015 and March 2022.

Business Overview
Tosei Box offers richer living environments by providing delivery
lockers that can be used with peace of mind, under the motto“Safety, Comfort and Relief.” The company believes its business
contributes greatly to the environment and society by helping
logistics-related businesses reduce re-deliveries, resulting in the
reduction of CO₂ emissions and burdens on delivery staff. As one
measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19, such social tools are
growing increasingly important as part of “new normal” lifestyles
that seek to prevent in-person contact.

ThroughBCP activities, Tosei Box helps customers restore equipment andresume business operations in the event of disaster.

Business Overview
In recent years, climate change brought about by greenhouse gas
emissions has become increasingly apparent, and natural disasters
have been occurring frequently around the world. In particular,internal combustion engine automobiles and coal-fired thermal
power generation are cited as generating large amounts of CO₂,and it is said that curbing these emissions is key to saving the
global environment. It is important, therefore, that electric vehicles
that do not generate CO₂ spread quickly, along with systems that
store electricity from solar power generation. Lithium-ion and otherrechargeable batteries are at the core of such systems. Accretech
Powertro System’s main business is the development and sales ofcharge/discharge testing systems (used for testing and evaluating
rechargeable batteries), as well as the provision of battery
evaluation contract services using its own equipment. Charge/
discharge testing systems are used to evaluate batter ycharacteristics, performance, and safety by performing charge/
discharge tests under simulated real-world conditions (for example,
for in-vehicle use under various driving conditions). Going forward,
the company expects increasing demand for rechargeable batteries
that are reasonably priced and that offer high performance, long
life, and good safety. Accretech Powertro System believes its rolelies in the evolution and development of such batteries, and thecompany intends to help maintain a sustainable global environment
through its business.
