S i n c e t h e p r o d u c t s p r o v i d e d b y To k y o S e i m i t s u a r e
production equipment, their "quality" should consist of"stable and reliable quality of product" and "quality of prompt
and meticulous support". Based on this belief, we are always
striving to improve such "quality".
Keeping in mind that we are responsible for providing stable
and high quality and services to protect and enhance customer'ssocial status and profits, we are implementing quality
improvement activities.
We contribute to society by being committed to "maintenanceand improvement of product quality", "establishment of global
and highly functional support structure" and "ensuring customer
satisfaction and trust in our products and services".

Continuous efforts have been made to strengthen quality
control since the collective acquisition of ISO 9001
certification by Hachioji and Tsuchiura Plants in 1994. In
fiscal 2017, we started to operate a new quality system
program in accordance with ISO9001:2015 revised in
September 2015. With this new quality management system
program, quality policy was revised and quality targets wereset by each plant to improve quality performance in order toaddress the needs of stakeholders, internal and external
challenges and control risk.
More specifically, the section devises its implementation plan toachieve the quality targets by creating an implementation plan
document for quality targets as well as a quality management
system program.
Quality Working Group, in its quarterly meetings, confirms
achievements of the quality management system program,evaluates progress and examines measures for improvement.

■ Upgrading of Change Management ★
We have strived to eliminate defects by verifying the risks
associated with changes in design and production and taking
measures beforehand.
In 2017, change management rules were established inhigh-level standard documents of the Company and the rules
were incorporated into lower-level standard documents ofrelevant sections. Since then, we have been mitigating therisks of defects caused by changes by performing risk
assessment of change management in accordance with the
management standards.
We are accumulating change management results data to
use it as a data base of similar change risks and seek
speedier and more efficient change management operation.
Also, in 2018, with regard to reduction of complaints by change
management, we started setting change management
effectiveness as a KPI, with the target as 0.5% or lower.
Change management effectiveness ratio [%] =No. of complaints occurred / No. of change
managements implemented × 100%
The ratio in 2018 was 0.37%, which cleared the target.

We have prepared skill-specific curricula and training systems,
including practical skill training using actual equipment andclassroom training for enhancement of knowledge, as well aspractical training at manufacturing sites and training incollaboration with Technical Application Department, to meet
diverse requests.
The training is highly effective as it is basically conducted for asmall group so that the trainer can proceed with the training
while recognizing all the trainees and a lot of time is allocatedfor practical skill training.
Also, demonstration equipment is installed at major locations ineach area to create a conducive environment for basic
education programs at local sites and self-learning.
Japanese engineers are encouraged to work overseas or makeperiodic business trips abroad so that they can develop
themselves as an engineer who can play an active role in theworld through the experience of working abroad.

GSM (Global Service Meeting)Standardization of Service Parts

With regard to the equipment at customer's production site that
operates at a full capacity around the clock throughout the year,
it is critically important to promptly supply service parts in theevent of troubles.
For major parts of each model, consignment parts are stocked
at 15 locations in Japan and abroad, which are managed by theParts Center of the Customer Engineering Department asservice parts. Also, with the CE Stock Manager System, whichallows easy checking of stocks around the world and sharing of
the information on the web from anywhere, we are ready topromptly provide parts to customers.

Standardization of Support Quality and
Implementation of GSM (Global Service Meeting)All engineers are subjected to an annual skill check to certify
and manage their levels. By certifying each engineer byspecifying the jobs that they are authorized to perform, we
provide high work quality to customers.

■ Precision Measuring Instrument BusinessLeading-edge Bases and Support for Accelerating
Value Creation for Customers

Under the slogan of "what cannot be measured cannot be
produced," Tokyo Seimitsu regards our precision metrology
instrument business as "the original point of manufacturing"that provides society with precision and reliability instead ofseeing it as mere sale of measuring instruments.
No activity of "manufacturing" is possible without the process of"measurement." Also, measuring accurately is indispensable forour customers to provide reliable products to society. To convey
this idea to society on a broader basis, we are committed to thefollowing efforts.

Initiatives of Metrology Center

Relationship with Suppliers
In order to deepen win-win relationships with all suppliers, we aim to build a supply
chain focused on social responsibility and work with them to achieve sustainablegrowth.

Basic Stance on Procurement
Suppliers provide the materials, components, and services thatare indispensable for us to deliver high-performance and highquality products to customers, and we consider all of them ourvalued partners. To establish win-win relationships with these
suppliers, it is essential to comply with laws, regulations andsocial norms and fulfill social responsibilities in terms of "humanrights and labor", "occupational safety and health","environment", "ethics" and "information security" among othersby the supply chain as a whole, let alone address "safety andquality".
We expect every supplier to act voluntarily as a responsible
enterprise committed to meeting the needs of the international
community. By working together with them, we intend to turn our
entire supply chain into a robust value chain and promote valueadded manufacturing.

Supply Chain Enhancement ★
Tokyo Seimitsu has declared compliance with RBA (Responsible
Business Alliance: old EICC). To meet the requirements of theinternational community with regard to corporate responsibilities
for ensuring safe working environment, protecting worker dignity
and reducing environmental impacts, among others, we ask
suppliers to cooperate in complying with the international
standards.

■ Formulation of CSR Guidelines for Suppliers
and Request for Cooperation
In order to fulfill expectations of RBA and the global community,
we have created "Tokyo Seimitsu CSR Guidelines for Suppliers"
which state the 'procurement policy' and stipulate guidelines for
suppliers in 'human rights and labor,' 'safety and health,' 'theenvironment,' 'ethics,' 'safety and quality' as well as 'information
security.' We ask for suppliers' understanding of the guidelines
and cooperation in promoting sustainable procurement.

■ Establishment of Supplier Survey System
As a study into suppliers' state with CSR, Tokyo Seimitsu
started a survey in fiscal 2016 using an "SCM check sheet." Thesurvey is conducted to score the performance of suppliers withregard to eight high-level classifications: legal compliance,
ethics management, environmental management, facility andequipment (safety) management, labor and employment
management, biodiversity, conflict minerals and business
continuity. The results show the average score is 88.7 (out of
the maximum of 100) and that more than 90% of the suppliers
18

ACCRETECH CSR REPORT 2019scored 80 or higher. Items with low scores were "promotion of
women's advancement in labor and employment management","biodiversity" and "business continuity".We are undertaking
improvements on these items in cooperation with suppliers.
With regard to the other five items, we have confirmed that they
are managed without problems and shared our awareness with
suppliers.

The "SCM check sheet" survey was started in 2016.
A total of 166 suppliers were covered by the survey.
Improvements will be made on "promotion of women's advancement","biodiversity" and "activities for business continuity in case of emergency" withlow scores through supplier workshop.

We also visit our suppliers, inquire how they work on CSR as
well as their difficulties and discuss ways to assist them inovercoming challenges. We are advancing collaboration in orderto have our entire supply chain fulfill social responsibilities bydeepening close cooperation with suppliers.
With regard to the activity in fiscal 2019, we are considering the
replacement of "SCM check sheet" with RBA (Responsible
Business Alliance: former EICC) check sheet. This will enable
us to perform more meticulous checking to further strengthen
the cooperation with suppliers.
In addition, Tokyo Seimitsu has also asked suppliers to conduct
separate surveys for improvement on "environmental
consideration". We have asked them to conduct a survey basedon "Environmental Management Structure Survey Sheet" andsubmit "Environmental Impact Contractor Register" and"Environmental Conservation Status Survey Sheet" byidentifying the operations that may affect the environment.

Relationship with Suppliers■ Commendation of SuppliersTokyo Seimitsu conducts supplier commendation once a year.
We commend excellent suppliers based on the evaluation of"quality", "cost", "delivery", "cooperation" and "management".

■ Workshops and other events for suppliers
In order to ensure that suppliers understand the importance offulfilling social responsibilities, we participate in the CSR
seminar, which is a workshop organized by suppliers.
In fiscal 2018, we made presentations on "Report of CSR
Activities by Tokyo Seimitsu", "Global Trends in CSR" and"Supply Chain Initiatives" for information sharing.
At the seminar, we explained the procurement policy andcontent of "Supplier CSR Guideline", which was established by
us in January 2019, and asked suppliers to submit "confirmation
report".
In order to deepen win-win relationships with suppliers, we aim
to build a supply chain focused on social responsibility and workwith them to achieve sustainable growth.

Relationships with Employees
To enable employees to work lively, we strive to enrich the work environment in which
each individual worker remains mentally and physically healthy and safe and candemonstrate their full potential, and we also promote human resource development.

Employment and Human
resource development■ Basic Views on Employment and Human
Resource Development
We seek to have diversity and respect different viewpoints andvalues in order to create new values through synergy effects.
We promote diversity and seek human resources widely, whileeliminating discriminations based on age, gender, race, religion,
country of origin, disabilities, etc. by expanding employment of
women and people with disabilities and increasing global
recruitment opportunities. We also promote work-life balance,
creating a safe work environment in which employees canmaintain their health both physically and mentally andencouraging them to seek fulfillment and achieve personal
growth both at work and in private life.
Various types of participative training programs are provided to
employees to encourage awareness and e-learning thatcombines mandatory and elective subjects to create anenvironment for sustainable growth through innovation by
diverse people.

■ Promotion of Work Style Reform ★
We are nurturing the culture of considering the living
environment and values of each other and creating theenvironment and systems to accommodate diversity.
In particular, we take a proactive approach for employment of
women, focusing on the activities to promote women's
advancement by expanding job opportunities andresponsibilities, providing career plan guidance and flexibly
responding to needs arising from life events.

Promotion of Women's Advancement

Revision of Employment Regulations
Women's working group, which was formed in last fiscal year,
reported their activities to the management. As a result,
employment regulations were revised to enable employees to"take parental leave until the child becomes three years of age","work shorter hours for childcare until the child enters middle
school" and "shorten working hours for childcare or elderly careby up to 3 hours per day" to make the work environment evenmore comfortable.

ACCRETECH CSR REPORT 2019slightly decreased and the ratio of new female employees also
decreased due to the increase in the number of new male
employees for manufacturing and engineering positions.
However, due to the increased hiring of women for engineering
positions in mid-career recruitment, the number of female
employees has securely increased.
We are proactively working on various forms of PR for hiring of
women in new graduate and mid-career recruitment activities.

Employment of the DisabledTokyo Seimitsu is committed to creating a work environment
where people with disability can be socially independent andactively play their roles. As part of such efforts, we areupgrading facilities to make them barrier-free and exploring
workplaces and jobs that people with disabilities can be
assigned to.
We also collaborate with the Public Employment Security Office("Hello Work"), employment support centers for the disabledand special needs schools in identifying workplaces suitable forindividual aptitudes at the time of recruitment and providing
support after employment. Simultaneously, prospective
workplaces for the disabled receive in-house training on support
for and communication with workers with disability in an effort tocreate a working environment friendly to the disabled. The
employment rate has increased to 2.0% (June 2019) from 1.9%in the previous fiscal year. We will continue our efforts toachieve the mandatory employment rate (2.2%).

Measures to Reduce Working Hours

The regular annual working hours at Tokyo Seimitsu in fiscal
2018 are 1847.8 hours (with 128 holidays a year in fiscal 2018),
approximately 3% lower than the regular annual working hours
in fiscal 2018* reported in the "2018 Comprehensive Survey onRelationships with Employees

Working Hours."
To manage working hours, a system to capture the time whenemployees enter and exit the gate has been implemented at
Hachioji and Tsuchiura Plants. Differences between the time ofarrival and departure reported by employees and the time
recorded in this system are checked to understand the reality of
their working hours. As a concrete step to reduce working hours,
every Wednesday and bonus payment days are marked as the
day to leave the office at the end of office hours. We try toensure that employees take a substitute day off when they must
work on a holiday. The section in charge also monitors theutilization of the long vacation system and uses the information
to promote higher usage. As a result of these measures
overtime work is decreasing. (5% reduction from the previous
fiscal year)
We will continuously and actively work to reduce annual working
hours and to encourage employees to take vacations.

■ Human Resources Development
Human Resources Development Policy*According to "FY2018 Comprehensive Survey on Working Hours" reported in
Roseijiho No.3959 compiled by the Institute of Labour Administration, theannual prescribed working hours was 1910 hours 57 minutes and thenumber of holidays was 119.9 days in fiscal 2018.

The new human resources development scheme wasintroduced in April 2018, enhancing development of humanresources from the medium- to long-term point of view.
We regard the education and training system as "an importantmeasure for bringing out the strength and competence of
employees" from the viewpoints of "diversity" resulting from theprogress of globalization and sustainable "development ofprofessionals".
The system is structured based on the notions that "anenvironment and an opportunity (platform) are offered where
each and every employee can spontaneously participate intraining and education" and that "the company provides
assistance to gain necessary knowledge synchronizing with
employees' growth stage."
It is essential that outcomes of training are utilized in work. The
system is based on the premise that a training plan is designed
to also include "an opportunity" (assignment) to actually utilize
the knowledge to be learned in the training and that the trainee
and the superior build consensus on the training.

Management of Working Hours of Managers

Development Scheme and Training Systems

In accordance with the revision of Industrial Safety and Health
Act in April 2019, we have strengthened the management ofworking hours of managers. Holding a briefing session for all
managers, we took measures to reduce working hours as with
non-managerial employees. This will pave the way for creatinga work environment where all employee can work comfortably.

Activities to Facilitate Acquisition of Paid Holidays

In accordance with the revision of Labor Standards Act in April
2019, we started initiatives to mandate the acquisition of at least
five paid annual holidays. Notification about the revised act wasmade at the labor management training for managers in thesecond half of fiscal 2018 and to all employees. As an initiative
to achieve 100% acquisition of paid holidays, all employees wereencouraged to take paid holidays on August 15 and 16, 2019.

Leave Systems

In order to fully support employees tasked with childcare andnursing care of family members as well as those who are ill or
injured, Tokyo Seimitsu has unique family leave systems thatare well beyond statutory requirements.
Parental leave can be taken until the child becomes three yearsof age and the company pays 20% of the pay to employees onchildcare leave while the child is younger than two years old.
Employees who opt to work shorter hours due to childcare canshorten their working hours up to three hours per day until thechild graduates from middle school. This helps them inbalancing work with childcare.
As with employees tasked with childcare, employees tasked
with nursing care can take leave while being paid 20% of thewage or shorten their working hours up to three hours per day.
In this way, the Company supports employees who work while
being engaged in nursing care.
For employees on long-term leave for therapeutic care due toillness or injury, we have a wage compensation system, which isapplicable for a maximum of two and a half years. This allows
them to concentrate on treatment free from financial concerns.

Tokyo Seimitsu has a variety of training systems for employees
to develop their capabilities and these systems are incorporated
into the human resources development scheme. "Level-specifictraining" for employees at different career levels, "common
training" for learning basic business skills and "section-specifictraining" for acquiring specialized knowledge according to thework of each section are implemented.
We have introduced an e-learning system and also encourage
employees to actively attend seminars outside the company. A
full program is in place to enable self-development for each
employee. New training has also been introduced to foster thegrowth of employees.

Industrial Health and Safety■ Basic Views on Industrial Health and Safety
We promote safety, health, and disaster prevention activities,
giving top priority to the "physical and mental health and safetyof employees." In fiscal 2016, we started implementing stresschecks for all employees and group analysis of workplacetendencies, driving the initiatives for creating a safe work
environment where employees can work lively and maintainphysical and mental health.

High-pressure gas safety training (at Hachioji Plant)■ Promotion of Safe Operations ★
Reduction in Accident Rate (KYT Activity)

Major causes of disasters and accidents involving generalmachinery in manufacturing are "getting caught or cut, reaction
to action and actions unreasonable or by force."
In Tokyo Seimitsu all the employees devise and implement
thorough measures to prevent recurrence in an effort to reduce
the accident rate.
We also deploy KYT activities as a preventive measure andstrive to lower the accident rate.

■ Safety and Health Promotion
Activities of the Health and Safety Committee

Each plant has a Health and Safety Committee, led by the plant
manager. The Committee is responsible for industrial safety
related to the environment, machinery, and work, industrial
health related to infection, food poisoning, mental health,chemicals, and disaster prevention and mitigation such as firefighting, traffic safety and emergency aid, based on an annual
plan approved by the Board of Directors. Internal audits are
conducted twice a year and the results are submitted to Audit
Department and reported to Board of Directors. The committee
is subject to auditing by Audit Department.

Industrial Safety Activities

In addition to assessment and control of work environment risks
through workplace patrol and risk assessment conducted when
new machines are installed or operating procedures arechanged, we implement education and training in machine
operations, heavy machinery operational and wiring operations
as appropriate to avoid hazards.
Besides in-house training, employees are encouraged toactively attend industrial safety training sessions relevant totheir work in external educational institutions.

Sections controlling or using chemicals are obligated to performperiodic inspection and quantity check. In addition to periodic
internal audit conducted by personnel qualified as ISO14001
internal auditor, Regulated Substance Control Working Group
under the Safety and Health Committee conducts patrols tocheck the management and storage status of chemicals. In
fiscal 2018, the patrol was conducted eight times, including
follow-up patrols.

Relationships with Employees

In fiscal 2018, 147 cases (180 cases, cumulatively) of chemicalrisk assessment were conducted in the two plants combined for
adopting new chemicals and reviewing the chemicals that are
currently used. Also, efforts to introduce stricter standards forhandling of regulated substances are steadily progressing. By
establishing three handling standards in fiscal 2018 (62standards, cumulatively), we have covered all chemicals
currently in use.
Going forward, we will create the standards for new chemicals
to be adopted.

■ Self-Defense Fire Fighting and Disaster
Prevention and Mitigation Initiatives

At Tsuchiura Plant, safety training for forklift and slinging
operations and training for prevention of splashing of chemicalcleaners are conducted in the National Safety Week in earlyJuly every year. At the safety training, qualified personnel acted
as instructor and 46 employees learned safe operations using
forklift, sling belt and other work equipment. The training forprevention of splashing of chemical cleaners was attended by
87 employees from plant and engineering sections handlingchemical cleaners and all employees relevant to the handling ofchemical cleaners, including new employees, learned the"method of wiping with mop and disposal" using recovery kit
through OJT.

Each plant has its own fire brigade and conducts regular training
as well as an annual fire or earthquake evacuation drill. In linewith the annual plan, the fire fighting team, which is a unit of thefire brigade, is equipped with digital CB radio enabling accurate
fire fighting and communication in case of emergency (power
outage). Drills are conducted once or twice a month. In addition,
we also conduct training by assuming leak accident to improvethe disaster responsiveness.

Relationship with the Global
Environment
We make concerted efforts to reduce the environmental impact of the entire value
chain, including the life cycle of our products, and maintain a sustainable society
and global environment.

Basic Stance on the Environment■ Core Environmental Philosophy
Based on the concept of "Manufacturing is possible only when
the global environment is preserved," we formulated the "Core
Environmental Philosophy" in 1997. The "Company
Environmental Policy" reflects this core philosophy, and the"Environmental Policy" defines the actions that all employees
are required to take in their business activities.
We conduct all business activities based on this philosophy andpolicy.

Core Environmental Philosophy
Recognizing environmental protection as a critical issue, Tokyo Seimitsu makes environmental preservation an integral
element of all product development, design, manufacturing and service activities.

Company Environmental Policy
In all activities, extending from manufacturing through the provision of services, everyone at Tokyo Seimitsu must work in anenvironmentally responsible manner. The goal is to reduce our impact on the earth's environment to the absolute minimum.

Environmental policy
1. We will resolutely drive environmental protection activities by organizing an environmental management structure, inwhich all managers play the key role overseen by the Environmental Management Committee.
2. ‌	We will comply with environmental laws, ordinances and agreements as well as the Environmental Policy and establish
voluntary goals to grapple with pollution prevention and environmental protection.
3. ‌	We will strive to develop and improve environmentally responsible products (products contributing to energy and resource
conservation, products that do not use harmful substances).
4. ‌	We will establish environmental objectives for the following items concerning the environmental impacts caused bybusiness activities and improve environmental performance by implementing continuous improvement and reviewing theactivities by internal audit.
1) Effective use of natural resources by energy conservation, resource conservation and reduction and recycling ofwastes.
2) Proper management of harmful substances, reduction in their use and the adoption of replacements.
3) Prevention of the global warming through the emission control of the greenhouse gas.
5. ‌	We will ask for the understanding and cooperation of suppliers in the execution of environmental programs.
6. ‌	We will tackle environmental protection activities, including use of sustainable resources, mitigation of climate changes
and conservation of biodiversity, through individual business operations, strive to achieve a better global environment andcontribute to the development of society.
7. The environmental management system applies to the activities, products, services and environmental protection
activities of the plants relating to the business activities of Semiconductor Company and Metrology Company.
8. ‌	This environmental policy is disclosed internally and externally.

■ Internal Environmental Audits
Periodical internal environmental audits are conducted twicea year to check the implementation of action as prescribed in
the environmental management manual. An audit team of twoor three members led by the lead auditor conducts the audit
based on a checklist accumulating the findings in each year.

Eco-products ★
■ Development of Environmentally Friendly
Products
Tokyo Seimitsu Group continues to provide products of highaccuracy and high quality to achieve sustainable developmentof society. The Group is also working to maintain sustainableglobal environment by reducing the environmental impact of the
products. For product development, by establishing the standard
for reduction of environmental impact in the "Tokyo Seimitsu
Engineering Standard"*1, we make it an obligation to consider
environmental impact with regard to the entire process frommanufacture to disposal of products by attempting to decrease
raw materials, reduce the consumption of power, water andhazardous chemicals during operation and implementing
meticulous management of hazardous substances contained in
product materials. As our products are production equipment,
they operate for a long time and have a long service life.
Accordingly, we are particularly focused on reducing theenvironmental impact, which is mostly dependent on the hoursof use by the customer. Also, considering the 24/7 use of the
products in clean rooms and constant temperature
measurement rooms, we are striving to reduce the productfootprint and consumption of compressed air and vacuum. To
realize environmentally friendly products, not only direct*1 Tokyo Seimitsu Engineering Standard: Abbreviated as TES, it is acompany regulation that determines the rules applicable to development,
design, production, production control, quality management and service aswell as environmental management. It encompasses regulations,specifications, standards, criteria and guidelines with binding force andcoercive power.

departments, such as development, design, purchasing,production, manufacturing, and shipping, but also indirect
departments, such as planning, sales, administration, andservices, work together. Collaboration with suppliers and otherexternal partners is also vital. We will continue the effort tospread awareness of the importance of environmental
consideration by implementing internal training and strengthen
the collaboration with external partners.

■ Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in ProductDevelopment
Being aware of our responsibilities for the environmental impact
in the entire life cycle of the products, in 2016, Technical
Working Group (Technical WG) of the CSR Promotion
Committee unified the calculation standards for converting theenvironmental impact in each stage from production to disposalof products to CO2 emissions (Life Cycle Assessment: LCA*2). It
is essential to assess the CO2 emissions determined by thismethod in product development. By performing the LCA ofexisting products under production at the same time, we
improve existing products and evaluate products underdevelopment and new products in comparison with existingproducts.
*2 LCA (Life Cycle Assessment): Life cycle assessment is a method toquantitatively assess the environmental impact in each stage of the entire life
cycle (procurement, manufacture, transportation, sale, use, disposal, reuse)of a product or a service.

High-Rigidity Grinder HRG3000X

Stack Prober AltaProv

With regard to thinning of silicon wafers, in the past, we were providing polishgrinders with a finishing step where slurry containing chemicals is used for
grinding. However, we have developed HRG3000X enabling slurry-freethinning by a new method. It eliminates environmental stress concerning thepurchase, storage and discharge of chemicals, as it not only makes treatmentof waste slurry unnecessary but also eliminates the use of slurry itself.

An ordinary single prober consists of an electrical test measurement partcomprising one unit and a wafer conveyance part comprising one unit. In
contrast, AltaProv, which also has a wafer conveyance part comprising one
unit, has an electrical test measurement part comprising 12 laterally andlongitudinally connected units. It is a small footprint machine, which has
achieved reduction of the maximum footprint of single prober by about 89%(including maintenance area).

ACCRETECH CSR REPORT 201927◀

Eco-factoryTokyo Seimitsu is a machinery manufacturer which also processes precision parts in-house. More than 99% of the energy consumed isthe electrical energy of the production plants and a significant amount of water is also used in cutting and processing operations. Since
the production of products processing semiconductors by using water is on the increase, we are making efforts to reduce theconsumption of electric power and water.
Many paper drawings for parts processing and assembly are used due to a high number of mechanical parts in equipment and we arecommitted to reduction in paper purchase as a priority measure to cut resource consumption. We also strive to recycle as much as
possible scrap metal and waste fluid from processing.

■ Efforts for Prevention of Global Warming ★

Most of CO2 emissions by Tokyo Seimitsu is conversion from electricity purchased for operating plants in Hachioji and Tsuchiura and ourpriority in implementing global warming prevention measures is to save power. By taking measures to improve power consumption
efficiency, such as replacement of air-conditioners and compressors with energy-saving type equipment, balanced operation of such
equipment, use of LED lights as lighting fixtures and installation of motion sensors, we have succeeded in reducing the power
consumption per unit of production*1 over a medium term, despite the increase in production and expansion of plants.
Also, solar power generation was started in Hachioji Plant No.5 in fiscal 2015 and in Hachioji Plant No.6 in fiscal 2016. The total power
generation amount in fiscal 2018 exceeded 450,000kWh. This is equivalent to annual reduction of more than 220t-CO2 in emissions. We
are determined to continue our efforts to curb global warming through power-saving production and expansion of renewable energy
usage. Hachioji Plant consumes approximately three times more electricity than Tsuchiura Plant and thus conducts every year thirdparty verification to verify these initiatives.

Chemical Substances Management
In regard to chemical substances we use and those contained in parts, we are committed to minimizing impact on the environment andpeople by not only observing laws and regulations in Japan and in export destinations but also managing non-regulated chemical
substances based on voluntary standards.

■ Chemical Substances Management Based on Voluntary Standards

We apply internal company regulations which specify substances with the potential to pollute the environment. When these substances
are used, the responsible person for environmental management must be notified. The amount of each substance used, the storage
location, and the maximum storage amount are identified. SDS* and emergency tools are made available and regular contingency drills
are conducted. Also, we are examining the replacement of harmful chemical substances (organic solvent, etc.) with harmless or lessharmful substances.
*SDS : SDS stands for Safety Data Sheet. Information on the name of the chemical substance, the manufacturer, handling methods, the nature of the hazard andtype of toxicity, physical properties, impact on the environment, safety measures, emergency measures, and actions in the event of an emergency arerecorded on this sheet for each chemical substance. According to the PRTR Law, manufacturers are supposed to compile the amount of emissions ofchemical substances and the amount of transferred wastes and submit a report to the national government via local government. It is mandatory to attach
SDS to the report.

■ Specified Chemical Substances Management

We have submitted notification for two substances whose amount of use exceeds the standard for the substances specified by the PRTR
Law. With regard to the chemical substances requiring appropriate management stipulated in the Environmental Ordinance for Ensuring
Health and Safety of Residents in Tokyo Metropolis, five of them are used in Hachioji Plant and we have submitted notification for them.

■ Control of Chemical Substances Contained in Products

We hold briefing sessions to request suppliers to strictly control and report chemical substances contained in procured materials. So far,more than 400 suppliers have attended the session.
Since fiscal 2016, we have been conducting an investigation on the RoHS Directive, the REACH Regulations, etc. using a cloudsystem.
Products of Metrology Company comply with the RoHS Directive from July 2017, and all the products exported to the EU are compliant.
Although products of Semiconductor Company areoutside the scope of RoHS application, because they arelarge-scale installation-type industrial equipment, we are
gradually taking measures to make them compliant.
In fiscal 2018, RoHS analysis laboratory, which isequipped with instruments for analysis of chemical
substances contained in products, was installed tocreate an environment conducive for analysis.

Nakanuki Park is beautifully colored withcherry blossoms in spring and yellow leavesof gingko trees in autumn. Many people,
including the residents of Tsuchiura City,
gather at and use this park not only as aplace of relaxation but also as place forstrolling and physical exercises. However,
unfortunately, this park is not free fromwastes. Different kinds of wastes are foundthere. Of course, it is not that everyone who
uses the park litters. It is very regrettablethat the park gets dirty because of someinconsiderate people who litter.
A lot of wastes are also found on the roads
around the park. It seems like the roads
have more wastes than the park. The
wastes probably include those thrown away
by people who do not use the park or fromvehicles.
Why do people illegally litter?
I feel annoyed, but thing do not improve soeasily. I think it is also necessary to do some
activities to prevent littering by making
everyone informed of the penalties andpatrolling.
Personally, since I am hesitant to voluntarily
clean the inside and outside of the park bymyself, I am very happy that Tokyo Seimitsu
provides me an opportunity to participate in
the cleaning work as a company activity. If
we could collaborate with the environmental
sections of the City and other companies
operating around the park, it would be evenmore helpful in maintaining the cleanlinessand beauty of the park. Going forward, I
would like to take an active part in the local
cleanup activities besides cleaning the park.
