Promoting Environmental Management

Tokuyama’s Environmental Management:
Performance for Fiscal 2012
Protecting the Global Environment
One of our most important corporate social responsibilities is to actively protect the global environment. Tokuyama practices environmental managementwith an emphasis on environmental perspectives in all of its business activities.
Performance for Fiscal 2012
Flow of Materials in Business Activities
Tokuyama strives to obtain accurate data on the input and output of materials and substances in its business activities and reduce the environmental
impact of these activities to meet its environmental targets.
Results of Environmental Preservation Activities
Among its fiscal 2012 targets for environment impact reduction, the Company
failed to achieve its soot and dust-emission reduction target due to theincreased utilization of facilities subject to environmental regulations. We also
failed to meet targets for the reduction of PRTR substance emissions and unit
energy consumption index because of a decline in the Tokuyama Factory’s overall facility utilization rate. On the other hand, we achieved our waste reduction target by pursuing proactive recycling efforts internally and externally.

Promotion of Energy Conservation
Tokuyama consumes a huge amount of energy in manufacturing its coreproducts, such as caustic soda, cement and polycrystalline silicon. Carbon
dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases, is generated chiefly by burning fossil
fuels and also by the decarboxylation of limestone used as a raw material
in cement production.
Aware of the high priority of preventing global warming, the Company
is conducting energy conservation activities to reduce carbon dioxide
emissions. The Tokuyama Factory is responsible for more than 99% of theCompany’s energy consumption. Taking this fact into consideration, in
fiscal 2012 the Tokuyama Factory undertook the switchover from coal toalternative fuels as well as the acceleration of energy-saving activities.
However, the unit energy consumption index of the Tokuyama Factoryhas been reduced no more than 22% (with unit energy consumption in
fiscal 1990 set as 0) due to a decrease in the factory’s overall facility utilization rate.

Global Warming Prevention Support Program
In April 2008, Tokuyama set up this program to encourage TokuyamaGroup employees to take action aimed at helping prevent global warming,as part of its environmental, energy-saving and social contribution activities from the standpoint of CSR promotion. Through the program, theCompany covers part of the costs incurred by employees purchasing andinstalling specific eco-friendly products closely related to the Group’s business, namely the plastic window sash for residential use and the solar
power generation system. Its objective is to help reduce CO2 emissions in
the household sector by raising Group employees’ awareness of global
warming and encouraging them to save energy.
The table below shows the status of use of the program by Group
employees in the past five years.

Actively seeking to protect the environment, Tokuyama has a longrecord of initiatives to reduce environmental pollutants released
into the atmosphere and into water environments.

Air Pollutant Emissions
We have equipped our boilers, cement kilns and other sources of air pollutants with such emission control systems as flue gas desulfurizers, denitration equipment, low NOx burners and high-performance dust collectors
in an attempt to reduce sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx) andsoot emissions.
In fiscal 2012, soot emissions increased year on year in line with theincreased utilization of the aforementioned facilities.

* The pollutant release and transfer register (PRTR) refers to a system of collecting
and publishing data on the sources of hazardous substances, the amounts ofsuch substances emitted into the environment or carried away from businesssites in the form in which they are contained in waste.

The program has been continued in fiscal 2012 despite the increasingly
harsh operating environment surrounding the Tokuyama Group. Over the
past five years, subsidies for the installation of plastic window sashes havebeen relatively stable while cases of subsidization for solar power generation systems have demonstrated increasing trend. We assume this reflects
the rising awareness, even for private households, of the need for global
warming prevention. We post data and status updates on the utilization of
the program on the Group’s intranet site, which also introduces external
websites providing additional information on global warming prevention
for the enlightenment of employees.

PRTR* Substance Emissions
Twenty-nine substances among those handled by Tokuyama in fiscal 2012
are subject to notification under the Pollutant Release and Transfer
Register (PRTR) legislation. In fiscal 2012, the Company continued to promote Companywide efforts to reduce the emission of PRTR substances.
However, Tokuyama Corporation’s total PRTR substance emissions (nonconsolidated basis) increased by about 6 metric tons year on year to 40
metric tons, reflecting an increase in operational disruptions due to themalfunctions of facilities that handle these substances.

The levels of chemical oxygen demand (COD),* nitrogen and phosphorus are subject to regulation in terms of total emissions in relation towater quality. To ensure compliance with indicators for these three items,
Tokuyama is working to reduce the levels of their emissions through theuse of activated sludge treatment facilities and other equipment.
In fiscal 2012, nitrogen and phosphorus emissions decreased slightly
year on year while the COD level remained virtually flat compared with theprevious year.

Waste Management
In fiscal 2012, Tokuyama generated 382 thousand metric tons of waste.
The Company actively recycled this waste internally and externally, mainly
reusing it as raw materials and fuel for cement production at the
Tokuyama Factory. Packing materials, pallets and other wood waste werecrushed into woodchips so that they could be effectively used as fuel at
power plants. As we worked diligently to recycle waste into raw materials
for cement, we kept on target, maintaining an effective waste utilization
rate of 94%. We stepped up our activities for reusing and reducing waste
and, accordingly, maintained our high landfill zero-emission rate at 99.9%.

Communicating with Communities
Tokuyama’s manufacturing operations originated in Shunan City (the former Tokuyama City). Proud of being one of
the largest plants in Shunan, we are providing society with high-quality, highly efficient products while paying theutmost attention to safety. With the goal of creating a factory that interacts proactively with local communities, wehave been promoting communication with local people through such initiatives as inviting them on factory tours,
aiming to gain the confidence of local society.

Tokuyama Factory RC Community Dialogues
On August 29, 2012, the fiscal 2012 RC Community Dialogue took place at the main conference room of theTokuyama Factory. With the objective of gaining the understanding of community associations around the
Tokuyama Factory with regard to the Company’s safety and disaster prevention efforts and environmental conservation initiatives, this event was the ninth of its kind.
The event drew 27 participants from community associations and one from the Shunan City Government. Mr.
Hashimoto, assistant manager of the Environmental Policy Division of the Shunan City Government, delivered apresentation on the environment of Shunan City. The Company gave a presentation centered on its process safetyand disaster prevention initiatives to dispel anxiety about factory fires and disasters, subjects of growing concern
among some community association members. Also, four general managers representing each of the manufacturing departments strongly expressed their determination to protect the environment and maintain safety.
Looking ahead, we will diligently pursue process safety and disaster prevention activities to achievezero-accident and zero-disaster status, with all factory staff working as one.

attitude and engage in responsible activities.
In line with these principles, we make painstaking efforts to ensure the safety of facilities and processes. Specifically, we continually strive to improve ourlevel of security control, identify the sources of hazards and enrich our security
education and training. Accordingly, we promote such efforts as safety patrol
operations, Kiken Yochi (KY) hazard prediction activities, Hiyari Hatto accident
prevention activities, the five-S activities,* as well as the practice of pointing
and calling a name out loud. In addition to these basic activities, we operateand continuously improve risk management and crisis management systems.
* Five-S activities: An initiative to ensure the five-S features at the workplace. The
five-S’s refer to Seiri (tidy), Seiton (organized), Seiketsu (clean), Seiso (cleaning)
and Shitsuke (disciplined).

Disaster Drills
Tokuyama conducts a variety of disaster drills, including general disaster drills
in tandem with the Shunan City Government.
Efforts to Maintain Safety Performance and Stay Accident-Free
The Tokuyama Factory maintained its zero-disaster record in fiscal 2012 for thefifth consecutive year. The
Kashima Factory and the
Tsukuba Research Laboratory
also saw no disasters in fiscal
2012. Moreover, we recorded
The New Year’s Fire Review(January 18, 2013)

no on-the-job accidents affecting Tokuyama employees. However, theTokuyama Factory experienced four accidents involving contractors’ employees.
One of these accidents forced a worker to take a leave of absence, while theother three required no time off to be taken. Looking ahead, we will continue
our efforts to achieve zero-accident and zero-disaster status.

Commitment to Occupational Health and Safety
Strengthening the Safety Management System
With the aim of completely removing potential risk factors, each factory and laboratory adopted Safety Management Systems and is continuously improving
these systems through risk assessments of work practices, facilities and processes. Also, discussions are now under way to formulate improved systems for themeasurement of the effects brought by changes in safety management methods.
Helping Contractors Promote Safety and Health Activities
By holding active dialogues on safety, Tokuyama and its contractors share their
wisdom and eliminate potential risks associated with work in the field, thereby
collaboratively promoting safety management activities. In these ways,
Tokuyama is striving to safeguard all personnel working at its plants from accidents and disasters.
Promoting Mental and Physical HealthWe implement such steps as taking measurements at worksites where specified chemical substances and organic solvents are handled. Our industrial doctor inspects these worksites and we take other steps to improve facilities andworking methods.
To combat lifestyle related diseases, we provided health guidance throughface-to-face counseling based on the results of health checkups and issued
written notifications to encourage those who failed to undergo a recommended complete checkup to do so. Consequently, the ratio of those who underwent such recommended checkups significantly improved to 85.5% from
69.3% in the previous fiscal year. Although Tokuyama has seen an upward
trend in employee absenteeism in recent years, the rate for fiscal 2012
decreased from 5.8‰ to 5.5‰ on a Companywide basis.
We are also working to strengthen our structure for assisting in the healthmanagement of expatriates
through such steps as dispatching an industrial doctor
to our locations overseas(Malaysia and Shanghai).

At the Kashima Factory, we have positioned the appropriate management of chemical substance handling as our mostimportant issue and are promoting waste recycling. As a result, in fiscal 2012 we achieved an effective waste utilization rateof 81%, maintaining the high level we marked in fiscal 2011.
Looking ahead, we will look into the possibilities of material and thermal recycling for handling more categories ofwaste with the aim of further improving our effective utilization rate for all the waste we generate.
In addition, our final landfill volume remained at only seven metric tons, staying unchanged from the record-low volume
we achieved in the previous fiscal year. Also, the zero-emission rate at our factory exceeded 99% in fiscal 2012.
For some products, Tokuyama Dental Corporation has switched from materials containing dichloromethane to waterbased materials, as part of efforts to reduce dichloromethane emissions into the atmosphere. Consequently, overall emission
volume decreased 20% compared with the previous fiscal year.

Located in the Itako Industrial Park in Ibaraki Prefecture, the Kanto Plant produces 25,000 metrictons of biaxial-oriented and cast polypropylene films per year. As a Type I Energy Management
Designated Facility, it has been pursuing medium- and long-term efforts to improve its unit energy consumption index. As one such effort, we are changing over lighting installed in the plantfacilities to LEDs. This move aims to not only conserve energy but also raise employees’ energy
saving awareness by implementing easily visible steps.
We have obtained certification for three management systems covering occupational safety
and health (OSHMS), the environment (ISO 14001) and quality (ISO 9001) and are continuously
implementing a PDCA cycle to enhance these systems. We are also striving to create a plant that
harmoniously coexists with local communities.
As a part of our regional contribution activities, in fiscal 2013 we will undertake cleanup
activities around the festival ground of the Itako Ayame Matsuri community festival.

Located on the premises of the Higashi Plant in Tokuyama Corporation’s Tokuyama Factory, theTokuyama Plant produces 23,000 metric tons per year of biaxial-oriented polypropylene films,
which are mainly used for food wrapping. In its environment-related activities, the Tokuyama
Plant is proactively pursuing the reduction of production losses as well as resource recycling, aiming to steadily curb waste generation.
The Tokuyama Plant obtained certification for the Occupational Safety and HealthManagement System (OSHMS) in 2008. In fiscal 2013, plans call for undergoing an examination
for the expansion of the scope of the OSHMS to include our development functions. Under theslogan of “Take pleasure in production, be stringent with quality and adhere to safety,” we are
pursuing plant operations that deserve the lasting trust of society, customers and employees.
