Top Message
Aiming to create a “sustainable recycling-oriented society” that harmonizes theenvironment with the economy
Looking at the international economic situation during FYE 2022,
while economic and social activities have been normalized,
particularly in developed countries, in line with the rollout of the
COVID-19 vaccine, the future remains uncertain due to shortages ofgoods and logistics disruptions in the supply chain, rising prices, theresurgence of infections caused by coronavirus mutations, and thegrowing international tension surrounding the Ukraine issue. Against
this backdrop, our group focused its development efforts on
expanding its lineup of cordless products, including power tools andoutdoor power equipment, in the "40Vmax Lithium-ion Battery"
series, which offers high power, long life and high durability. On the
production side, we worked to increase production in response toincreasing demand and to promote multi-polarized global production.
On the sales side, we focused on increasing the level of thecommunity-based and customer-oriented service framework in orderto further strengthen trusting relationships with customers around theworld. We strive to deepen and develop the market centered on
cordless products.
Regarding initiatives toward carbon neutrality, the impact of climatechange on society, such as frequent wind and flood disasters, isbecoming more serious, and companies are playing an increasingly important role in realizing adecarbonized society. Our company views climate change as an important business issue. For this reason,
our company has prioritized contributing to the solution of climate change issues by, for example, focusing
on cordless outdoor power equipment that does not emit exhaust gas when used. However, in order tofurther accelerate these efforts, we have newly set targets for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Our targets are to reduce GHG emissions from our business activities (Scope 1, 2) by 50% from fiscal 2020
levels by fiscal 2030, to reach net zero emissions by fiscal 2040, and to achieve net zero GHG emissions
throughout the supply chain (Scope 3) by fiscal 2050.
In addition, recognizing the importance of dialogue with stakeholders on climate-related risks andopportunities, we disclosed information on our company website for the first time based on therecommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Going forward, in
addition to energy conservation in our business activities, we will steadily promote initiatives to reduce
GHG emissions, including the use of renewable energy, and work to enhance information disclosure.
“Environmental Report 2022” is published with the objective of presenting the Company’s initiatives forenvironmental protection activities. I hope this report helps your better understanding for our activities.

Topics■Product Initiatives
Shifting from engine-powered to battery-powered
In the past, the majority of OPE (Outdoor Power Equipment) was engine powered. However, while thatprovides superior power and stamina, the environmental impact of exhaust emissions has been a major issue.
In recent years, global warming, which is one of the most serious environmental problems, has drawn
particular attention from society. Our company is focusing on cordless OPE that do not emit exhaust gas
when used, and contribute to solving environmental problems, particularly global warming.
Our company will contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society in the future by utilizing our battery
and motor technologies cultivated through the manufacture of power tools, and accelerating shifting fromengine-powered to battery-powered products by proactively developing and expanding sales of cordlessproducts whose usability is comparable to that of engine-powered products.

■Sustainability Committee EstablishedThe role of corporations in achieving a decarbonized society is becoming increasingly important, and in
2021 we established a new Sustainability Committee chaired by the President to promote carbon neutrality.
In addition to setting targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we will proceed with promoting initiatives
to reduce emissions, including the use of renewable energy.

■Promoting the Elimination of Plastic
Due to concern about global environmental pollution in the form of plastic waste in the oceans and amidsocial efforts to reduce single-use plastics usage, we are working to cut back on the volume of single-use
plastics in our product packaging and thereby contribute to the realization of a sustainable society and thepreservation of biodiversity. In addition to our existing efforts to simplify packaging, from FYE 2021, we
have been reducing the use of plastic bags by devising internal materials and switching to environmentallyfriendly materials such as paper and biomass plastic bags. In FYE 2022, we will switch from plastic bags tobiomass plastic bags, and domestic factories have gradually started switching to these materials from in July
2021. Overseas plants have also been progressively switching to biomass plastic bags, and the equivalent of
220 tons of plastic per year has been converted into biomass plastic bags. We plan to further promote theelimination of plastic in the future.

Our Commitment to Creating Environmentally Conscious Products
Development of Environmentally Conscious Products■Development of Products including New Environmental Technologies
We are working to reduce the size and weight of our products as a whole, as well as to increase their power
and life by increasing the capacity of new technology motors (the DC brushless motor) and batteries,
improving motor efficiency, and reducing the size and weight of power components that affect the mass of
products. Furthermore, by utilizing our industry-leading battery charge and discharge technology and motor
technology to promote manufacturing various rechargeable products (cordless and engineless products), weare contributing to improving user safety, convenience, and comfort, as well as reducing exhaust gas, noise,and fuel consumption. The 40Vmax series is one of the most important and powerful platforms for the future,
which will further allow us to make various products cordless.

■Publication of Product Environmental Data Sheets
Since FYE 2011, we have been publishing quantitative data of the environmental performance of each of
our products (product weight, noise level, the percentage of reusability and recyclability, renewable rate,
efficiency, etc.) on our website, in order to give a better understanding of the environmental performance ofour products.

Green Procurement■Supply Chain Management
In order to review the status of environmental activities of our suppliers, we conduct a questionnaire survey
on environmental protection activities to our suppliers (e.g., to check whether they have acquired anenvironmental management system certification and review specific plants subject to laws and regulations).

■Compliance with Overseas Environmental Laws and Regulations (RoHS, REACH)
Substances regulated by environmental laws and regulations are defined as Makita Prohibited andControlled Chemical Substances. In order to ensure compliance with the European RoHS Directive, we
control chemical substances to conform to the RoHS Directive.
In order to ensure compliance with the European REACH regulations, we continuously issue a survey to our
suppliers to obtain information on chemical substance content because substances of very high concern(SVHC) are regularly added to the list.

Makita's Cordless Products that Contribute to Solving Social Issues■Solving the Labor Shortage and Improving the Working Environment<Battery Powered Wheelbarrow>
Japan’s agriculture is facing a serious labor shortage due to heavy labor and the aging population. It is said
that 60% of agricultural work involves carrying tasks, and the wheelbarrow used for carrying loads strain theshoulders and back due to uneven surfaces. There are engine-powered transport vehicles, but you sometimes
need to worry about the noise when using them early in the morning, and they take a long time to start up,need fuel (e.g., gasoline) to run, and generate exhaust gas emissions.
On the other hand, the CU180D cordless transport vehicle is powered by an 18V battery, which is a standard
battery for other cordless tools. As it can be used in the same way as a wheelbarrow and is motor assisted,even elderly people and women can carry heavy loads with less power.

< Battery Powered Pruning Shears>
For grape farms, pruning is an essential task to harvest delicious grapes every year. However, pruning
manually with pruning scissors has a risk of tenosynovitis as it puts a major strain on hands and arms.
The cordless pruning scissors are powered by an 18V battery, which is a standard battery for other cordlesstools. The combination of the blade and the trigger makes it possible to prune trees and fruit trees in thesame way as a pair of scissors. The scissors are lightweight at 0.8kg, reducing the strain on the hands andarms and increasing work speed.

<Cordless Fan Jacket>
Due to global warming, extremely hot days are increasing, and working in a hot environment increases
strain on the body and the risk of heat stroke.
The cordless fan jacket is a jacket with small fans that circulate air through the jacket to dry sweat and cool
the body with the heat of vaporization. This is an item for preventing heat and can be used in places likeoutdoors where air conditioners or fans cannot be used.
Related SDGs

<Robotic Cleaner>
Cleaning large areas, such as offices, stores, and warehouses, requires manpower. In addition, in factories
where manufacturing machines are lined up, there are many areas that cannot be cleaned manually unlessthe machines are stopped for safety.
The robotic cleaner can automatically clean areas that require cleaning by, for example, doing work that
requires bending over, which puts a strain on the back, and in very large areas. There is no need to turn onlights for cleaning or stop machines because people do not go near the manufacturing machines.

■Disaster Preparedness< Disaster Prevention Combo Kit >In recent years, due to frequent natural disasters caused by global warming, cordless products have attracted
attention in terms of early recovery from disasters and disaster preparedness. Our disaster prevention combo
kit, which is useful in case of a disaster, includes in the package a light needed in case of a power failure atnight, a radio and a television to obtain correct information, and a battery and charger. It also includes a lightthat can charge a smartphone by connecting a USB cord.

■Sustainable Society<Cordless Outdoor Power Equipment>
In the past, most chainsaws and mowers used outdoors were engine powered. Engine-powered products are
powerful and can be used for many hours, but because they generate exhaust gas emissions and noise, there
are time and locational constraints on using them, and they are not easy to use because they need gasoline.
The cordless OPE is an environmentally friendly product for workers and the environment, including
animals and plants, because it can be used just like an engine-powered product, is low noise, and does not
generate exhaust gas emissions.

In the future, we will systematically dispose of low-concentration PCB-contaminated waste electricalequipment that is generated when transformers and other power receiving equipment are upgraded.

■Conservation of Biodiversity
Our company is committed to conserving biodiversity company-wide by incorporating the phrase “aiming toconduct a wide range of environmental protection activities, in order to contribute to conservation of
biodiversity” in the basic principles of our Environmental Policy.
We basically believe that all our environmental activities, including those aimed at reducing theenvironmental impact of our business activities by, for example, preventing global warming and reducing
waste, lead to the conservation of biodiversity, and we promote such activities. Specific examples of suchactivities include promoting the greening of plant sites and making our water quality standards on water
discharged into public water area stricter than laws and ordinances.
In addition, the Okazaki Plant's new distribution building, completed in 2021, is planted with indigenous
species such as benthamidia japonica, machilus thunbergii, prunus yedoensis, weeping cherry, rhododendron
