Commitment from the top

来自管理高层的承诺

By storing and managing electricity with our innovative technologies, theGS Yuasa Group is improving environmental management while
contributing to the emergence of a society committed to the environment.

杰士汤浅集团将凭借蓄备、控制电力技术承当社会责任，为实现环境对应型社会作贡献，并致力于进一步提升环境保护经营。

We are pleased to present to the reader the 2014 edition of
our Environmental & Social Report.
The year 2014 marks our milestone 10th year since ourGroup initiated its management integration initiative in April
2004. Looking back on this decade, we are convinced that
this effort has ushered in major positive changes to ourcompany, both in Japan and throughout our Group.
It has become quite clear that Japan is undergoingdeindustrialization of its manufacturing sector in the face ofintensifying cost competition arising from financializationand globalization of the economy. These circumstances
have been exacerbated by the influence of the Lehman
Brothers collapse (September 2008). However, in theaftermath of that event, the impact of the Great East Japan
Earthquake (March 2011) disrupted the stable supply of theenergy required by Japan’s manufacturing sector. At thesame time, this undercut the country’s commitment to
reducing CO2 emissions and offered an opportunity forJapan to leave the Kyoto Protocol (which took effect inFebruary 2005). I can say that this one incident put us
face-to-face with the challenge of achieving harmony
between energy and the environment for the final three
years of our first decade.
As we can see in the Basic Energy Plan recently
announced by the Japanese government, no “magic bullet”
exists that enables humanity to achieve a sustainable
society. Inevitably, we will have to prioritize each issue with alevelheaded approach while addressing problems which, at
first glance, appear mutually exclusive, or which we will findno solutions to. There is no way forward without addressingthese issues directly and in a straightforward manner.

Philosophy

Innovation and
GrowthWe are committed to the people,
society and global environment
through Innovation and Growth of
our employees and business
entities.
52014 Environmental & Social Report2014 环境·社会报告书“Energy and the Environment” represents one of themost important business domains of our Group. In fiscal
2013, the appeal of lithium-ion batteries widened
significantly beyond their application in electric and hybrid
electric vehicles. Peak shaving, a process formerly known
as load leveling, is being fully implemented through thecapability of storing electricity generated during periods ofload concentration. The adoption of battery power by
railroads and other means of public transport has also been
progressing steadily. By pursuing a new agenda throughinnovations linked to the development of power electronics,
our Group will resolutely strive to bring energy, theeconomy, and the environment into harmony.
Fiscal 2014 represents the first year of our Third
Five-Year Environmental Plan. This report contains theresults of our Second Five-Year Environmental Plan (known
as the medium-term plan for environmental conservation
until the preceding fiscal year). Looking ahead, theimportant challenge for our Group is to review our second
plan and implement our third plan’s environmental
management provisions while determining how tocontribute to society as we develop our business to achieve
harmony between energy and the environment.
In addition to dedicating ourselves to global
environmental initiatives, we remain committed to fullcompliance with relevant laws and ordinances. Equallyimportant, in our relations with our customers, business
partners, shareholders, local communities, and our own
employees, we shall proactively strive to meet our
responsibilities in full cognizance of our role as a good
corporate citizen.
This report has been prepared in two editions: a Japaneselanguage edition and a combined Chinese-language andEnglish-language edition. This publication is intended topromote a better understanding of our environmental
management initiatives and our efforts to contribute tosociety through our communities, business partners,
shareholders, and investors both inside and outside Japan.
In disclosing information related to our environmental andsocial initiatives, we aim to provide more transparency andfoster greater trust. Clearly, by working with a common
interest, we will contribute to the emergence of a sustainable
society.

We will balance environmental conservation and economic development by
developing a medium-term plan with policies targeting environmental conservation.

环境基本方针及中期计划
Fundamental policies and a medium-term plan for environmental conservation

The Fundamental Environmental Policy of the GS Yuasa
Group was established to serve as a guideline for theenvironmental management efforts implemented throughout
the Group. In our domestic offices, we have developed anorganizational environmental management system andhave been promoting initiatives to implement ourenvironmental policy, which is based on our overarchingenvironmental policy.
We have developed medium-term plans for important
issues related to our environmental policy in order tocontribute to the emergence of a sustainable society. We
continue to manage the status of implementation of these
initiatives. Fiscal 2013 marks the final year of our Second
Five-Year Environmental Plan; therefore, after evaluating theresults of this plan, we will formulate our Third Five-Year
Environmental Plan.

Objectives

Reduction of energy and resource usage

Energy conservation & GHG emissions reduction

In fiscal 2013, CO2 emissions related to production
increased by 19% compared to the fiscal 1990 level.

In the future, rather than managing aggregate amounts,
it is important that the lithium-ion battery businessconsider carbon management.

We will reduce the energy consumption intensity related to physical distribution by at least 5%of the fiscal 2008 level by fiscal 2013.

In fiscal 2013, we reduced energy consumption intensity
related to physical distribution by 7% of the fiscal 2008
level.

In the future, it is important that we work on energy efficiency
and cost reduction.

By 2018, to reduce the energy consumption intensity
related to physical distribution by at least 5% of the
fiscal 2013 level

We will promote energy efficiency initiatives at our operations division such as sales branches.

In fiscal 2013, we reduced the amount of energy
consumed by our operations division by 12% of the
fiscal 2009 level.

The benefits of energy conservation measures at ouroperations division are evident. In the future, efforts must
address energy conservation and cost reduction.

To build and operate an effective energy management
systemThe lead scrap rate in fiscal 2013 was 4%.

Through coordination of process improvement and“product design for environment,” we must strengthen
efforts to reduce waste and loss.

We will reduce the rate of production errors anddefective products (consistency with ISO 9001).

We will reduce CO2 emissions related to production by at least 30% of the fiscal 1990 level by
fiscal 2013.

By fiscal 2018, to reduce the CO2 emissions intensity
related to production by at least 5% of the fiscal 2013 level

Resource conservation

1

We will reduce the rate of production errors and defective products (consistency with ISO 9001).

We will reduce the lead scrap rate to less than 2% by
fiscal 2018.

GS Yuasa Group Fundamental Environmental Policies

We will reduce the lead scrap rate to less than 2% by fiscal 2013.

Fundamental philosophy

We will reduce the volume of waste water related to production by at least 67% of the fiscal 2003
level by fiscal 2013.

In fiscal 2013, we reduced the volume of waste waterby 59% of the fiscal 2003 level.

It is important that we make efforts to increase thewater-recycling rate.

We will reduce the volume of waste water related to production
by at least 77% of the fiscal 2003 level by fiscal 2018.

We will promote the proper disposal and recycling of used products according to the wide area
certification system.

In fiscal 2013, the percentage of industrial products we
discarded under the wide area certification system
was 95%.

The volume of industrial products discarded under thewide area certification system has been increasing
annually. This system is gradually taking root.

To achieve a 100% rate for industrial products discarded
under the wide area certification system by fiscal 2018

At the GS Yuasa Group, we set conservation of the
global environment as one of our most important tasks,
and we contribute to the creation of a sustainable society
through the development, manufacture and sale ofbatteries, which are a form of clean energy, power
supply systems, and lighting equipment.

Evaluating the Scope of Risk in Detailand Appropriately Managing the Risk

周密地评估风险的大小程度，
对风险进行正确管理

Thorough risk management and crisis management

风险管理的贯彻与危机管理

The GS Yuasa Group has adopted Risk Management Rules intended to avoid
or reduce exposure to business risk and minimize potential corporate losses.
Each department uses a Risk Management Sheet to evaluate the extent
of risk and the potential impact of risks identified within the department.
These departments hold monthly meetings to review the results of risk
evaluations performed by their respective risk management committees. In
addition, the Group Risk Management Committee — headed by ourpresident with members comprising chairs of various departmental Risk
Management Committees — holds semiannual meetings to promote
Group-wide risk management and to encourage the sharing of key
information related to risk management. The Risk Management Committee
confirms that appropriate risk management measures have been
implemented, and the committee chairs report on progress in this area.
Moreover, in preparation for the possibility that a risk materializes, thesystem maintains an emergency contact network to swiftly implement crisis
management. When a serious crisis occurs, members of the Group Risk
Management Committee are appointed to organize a crisis management
headquarters under the president in order to minimize corporate losses. We
have also established a system to implement an appropriate response tomoderate the situation.

杰士汤浅集团为避免、减少经营风险并力求将企业损失降到最低，制定了《风险管理规则》。
各事业部门采用《风险管理一览表》，评估各自部门所
特定的风险影响的重要性和发生的可能性，进行风险管理，在每月召开的风险管理委员会会议上修正风险评估的结果。
另外，为推进集团整体的风险管理和共享风险信息，本集团每半年召开一次集团风险管理委员会会议，该委员会委员长
由本公司总经理担任，组员由各事业部门风险管理委员长组
成。在委员会会议上，听取个事业部门的风险管理委员会委员长对风险管理情况的汇报，检测风险管理是否合理。
特别是，我们建立了预防风险的显著化事态，快速掌握
经营危机的紧急联络网等体制。一旦发生重大的危机事件，
我们将从集团风险管理委员会中选拔成员，设立由本公司总
经理担任委员长的危机管理对策总部，确立为平息事态而采取适当应对措施的体制，力求将公司的损失降到最低。

Publishing Guidelines and Manuals andConducting Compliance Training发行准则和手册，实施合规精神教育

Compliance activities

合规精神活动

By training our personnel according to our philosophy of “Growth andInnovation” while manifesting our commitment to society and preserving the
global environment, we are ensuring that all employees are guided in their
behavior focusing on compliance with laws, company regulations, and ethicalstandards.
In this spirit, we have adopted the GS Yuasa Corporate Ethical Standards
comprising 10 items that all employees must uphold. Moreover, we haveestablished Corporate Ethical Behavior Guidelines that stipulate responses tospecific situations. We also compiled and distributed Compliance Manual to all
employees. In fiscal 2013, we continued our fiscal 2012 initiative to improve each
employee’s compliance awareness through workplace meetings. In each
workplace, we choose two themes from the nine high-priority themes including
abuse of power in the workplace, health and safety, and management of working
hours. The teaching materials inevitably contribute to lively exchanges of views
and opinions.
We have also established the GS Yuasa Group Corporate Ethics Hotline for
employees who become aware of behavior that is unethical or otherwise
inappropriate. Accessible both internally and externally, the hotline enables
employees to provide information anonymously. Our investigation teamconducts inquiries and takes appropriate action while remaining committed toprotecting whistleblowers.
Moreover, our president periodically conducts a compliance survey by
distributing an in-house email questionnaire to all Group employees. The survey
contains questions on compliance practices that arise in day-to-day operations.

杰士汤浅集团为了通过“革新与成长”的企业理念为社会和地球环境作贡献，充分认识到全体员工开展
重视遵守法律法规、伦理及公司规则相关活动的重要性。
为此，我们制定了明确全体员工应该遵守的十项行动规则《杰士汤浅集团的企业伦理标准》，和表明其具
体措施的《企业伦理行动准则》，并向全体员工分发了归纳该内容的《合规精神手册》。2013年度，我们继续实施了继2012年以来开展的提高每个员工合规精神意识的“合规精神职场会议”。各职场从权利骚扰、安
全健康及工作时间管理等9个主题中选择两个优先顺序
高的主题，并使用教材热烈活跃地交换了意见。
此外，我们在公司内部和外部设置“企业伦理热线”，
以便一旦员工发现有合规精神方面的不恰当行为可用匿名进行报告。完善了在力求保护信息提供者的同时，可进行详细调查和采取适当措施的体制。
还有，以全体员工为对象，本公司总经理定期性地进行合规精神调查—通过公司内部邮件收集日常业务中的合规
精神方面的疑问等信息。
