Promoting global management of the environmental impact of
products throughout their life cycle
This year, we published our Environmental & Social Report.
At the 15th Conference of the Parties of the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Copenhagen,Denmark in December 2009, the Copenhagen Accord wasframed by leaders of about 30 countries including the U.S.A., theEU, China, India and Japan. Unfortunately, it did not passunanimously due to the dissenting views of some participating
countries, and it was decided the members would merely “takenote of” this agreement. As with the preceding United Nations
Summit on Climate Change in September, Japan’s approach to
the global environment was greatly highlighted at the 2009 event.
Specifically, then Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama
announced the medium-term target of a 25% reduction ingreenhouse gas emissions by 2020 compared with 1990 levels
and proposed the “Hatoyama initiatives” comprising four
approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Moreover, in light of events such as the tenth meeting of theConference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological
Diversity will be held in Nagoya in October, the internationalframework for global environmental conservation is becoming
both more specific and more diverse.
Considering these developments, our Group has made steadyprogress in dealing with changing times and shifting demands
while refining our unique technologies and leveraging our special
expertise in both our product lines and the scope of our business.
In fiscal 2009, we achieved great progress in developing ourbusiness as an environmentally focused enterprise involved ininitiatives such as the mass production of lithium-ion batteries forelectric vehicles.
It is clear, however, that these business operations consume
large amounts of both energy and resources while generating
both waste and CO2 emissions, all of which have an impact on
the global environment. For this reason, all the offices of ourGroup have adopted specific environmental policies based on
the GS Yuasa Group Environmental Policy. At the same time, wehave put into practice environmental management initiatives toestablish, implement, maintain, and continually improve our ISO
14001-compliant environmental management system.
Fiscal 2010 represents year two of our Second Five-Year
Environmental Plan, which is scheduled to conclude in fiscal 2013.

We are approaching the stage at which we must execute our policy
in bold terms by fully understanding and managing the impact that
our Group’s products have on the environment throughout the
product life cycle (both at a comprehensive business level and a
global level). Initially, we focused not only on the environmental
impact generated by Group operations, but also on the impact
generated by our supply chain and customers. Life cycle
assessments (LCA) are focused on the recycling of post-consumer
products, the disposal stage, and the effects on biodiversity in aneffort to determine the impact of the product life cycle on the living
world. We strongly recognize the need to accelerate our Group’s
approach to environmental management as well.
In addition to our global environmental initiatives, our Group
complies with all laws and regulations. Moreover, in all relations withcustomers, business partners, shareholders, local communities,
and employees, we shall proactively strive to fulfill our responsibilities
with a strong awareness of the role of a corporation as a part ofsociety.
This Environmental & Social Report has been prepared in a
Japanese version and a combined English and Chinese version tocreate a better understanding of our environmental management
initiatives and our efforts to help society among communities, ourbusiness partners, shareholders, and investors both inside andoutside Japan. In disclosing information related to ourenvironmental and social initiatives, we aim to provide moretransparency and foster greater trust. As we work to reduce ourenvironmental burden, we are also contributing to the emergenceof a sustainable society.

Special Feature: Addressing the product life cycle

We are measuring and minimizing the environmental impact throughout all stages ofthe product life cycle, from development and design to collecting.

Development of lithium-ion batteries

Saving additional energy through specific process verification utilizing
visualization
We are designing a method of visualizing our energy consumption in order toeffectively conserve energy consumed in the production process. We installed
meters in a variety of locations and at the start and end of the processes whereenergy consumption is visible. As a result, we are able to measure the energy
consumed in each process in detail. By examining whether the appropriate amountof energy is consumed, we can identify processes that can be used to conserve
energy.
For example, even when not in production, we maintained the temperature of thefurnace used in the process of melting lead, a principal material used in battery
production. We had been setting the heater temperature slightly higher thannecessary in order to prevent cracking of the furnace and heater damage.
However, we were able to adjust it to the proper temperature and thus reduced ourenergy consumption. In addition, by optimizing the air pressure supplied by the air

Development & Design

The history of lithium-ion batteries is stillrather short, as it is a new technology that only
came into practical use in the early 1990s.
Because this battery offers performance that
dramatically exceeds that of conventional
batteries, it is used in cellular phones,
notebook PCs and electric vehicles. The
applications for lithium-ion batteries are
expected to continue expanding in the future.
We have started to develop lithium-ion
batteries for applications such as manned
research submersibles and satellites, both ofwhich require a high degree of reliability. The
special advantages of these batteries makethem suitable for use in mobile products. As aresult, we have focused on developing
batteries for use in industrial mobile products
such as electric vehicles, regenerative brakes
for use in electric trains, and hybrid driving
systems for cranes.
Lithium-ion battery technology holds significant
potential for the future. Our goal is to develop
lithium-ion batteries that exhibit the optimum
performance in a variety of applications and tocontribute to the effective use of energy
through electric storage technologies.

●Effective physical distribution●Conserving energy in production processes
compressors located in every
plant, we were able to further
reduce our power consumption.
Moreover, during future facility
upgrades — which are a good
opportunity for promoting dramaticenergy conservation measures —we plan to introduce inverter-type
equipment and distributed systems
for facilities and the like. We will
also adopt individually controlledlamps to ensure effective energy
usage on a daily basis.

Adopting the terminal physical distribution method

Procurement

Production●Operational aspects of the CDM for small- and medium-sized enterprises

Reducing CO2 emissions in cooperation with suppliers
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) for small- andmedium-sized enterprises enables large companies to help smalland medium-sized companies reduce their CO2 emissions byproviding technology and funds for reducing CO2 emissions. In thisway, large companies are able to obtain emission credits for a shareof the reduction achieved. Kyoto Prefecture has many internationallyrenowned companies that have a variety of technological strengths,
as well as many small- and medium-sized companies that supply
components and the like. Thus, the supply chain is fertile ground for
nurturing the adoption of this system.
As a trial member of this project in Kyoto Prefecture, GS Yuasa
International Ltd. is actively implementing this approach by tracking
CO2 emissions of principal suppliers, selecting target suppliers for thismechanism, undertaking energy-saving diagnoses for selectedsuppliers, and verifying the results of CO2 emissions reduction

measures.
In the future, by helping to identify
target suppliers of this system andcarrying out CO2 emissions reduction
measures, this system is expected tohelp suppliers reduce their CO2
emissions.
This CDM for small- and medium-sizedenterprises is an important approachto achieving emissions reduction
targets for CO2 (a greenhouse gas) in
the future. Going forward, I expect
GS Yuasa International Ltd. to remaincommitted to initiatives incorporating
this system in cooperation with the
supply chain.

Physi c a l●Operational aspects of the wide area certification system under the Waste Management
and Public Cleansing Law for industrial batteries●Adoption of lead-acid batteries and reduction of environmental
burdens during use

New initiatives for collecting and recycling post-consumer batteries

Reducing fossil fuel consumption by improving theperformance of lead-acid batteries

To date, we have been active at using recycled materials in the manufacture of our lead-acidbatteries. In order to promote additional initiatives targeting the emergence of a recycling-oriented
society, we are collecting and recycling post-consumer industrial batteries by using the wide area
certification system under the Waste Management and Public Cleansing Law.
We initiated a trial implementation of this system from January to March 2009. The application rate
was 11%, but rose to 69% in fiscal 2009 due to our continuing efforts to explain this system to ourcustomers. Thus, we greatly improved the application rate of this system. We will further expand
the system’s scope of operation with the goal of a 100% application rate while monitoring
compliance. Toward this end, we will promote the establishment of a collection scheme forsmall-sized valve regulated lead-acid batteries and shall make our best efforts to prioritize
lithium-ion batteries as a collection target, even though they exceed the scope of recognition for
wide area disposal.
By implementing this system, we are promoting more efficient recycling and use of recycledresources — as reflected in our product development and design — while implementing
extended producer responsibility.

D is tribution & Sales●Environmentally considered products
and technologies

LEV50
The products of ourGroup, notably lead-acid batteries, play an important role in every corner of society. On the other hand,
they impact the environment at every stage in the product life cycle. To date, we have tended to address environmental impact
reduction in the stages of procurement, physical distribution, and production; however, in the future, we will seek to address
the entire product life cycle including during usage to disposal.

Batteries are a clean power storage system that has little environmental
impact in use. It is possible to reduce the fossil fuel consumption by
improving performance and adopting batteries. For example, electric
forklifts have been widely adopted for warehouse use due to their lack of
exhaust emissions and the emergence of improved maintenance-free
lead-acid batteries with fast charging times. In recent years, they haveexhibited higher energy densities and improved charge-discharge
capabilities. High-powered versions of forklift batteries are now being
developed with capabilities approaching those of gasoline-fueled engines.
In the future, they will compete in outdoor applications as well.
We will continue to develop and popularize lead-acid batteries, our principal
product, that are even more environmentally considered in addition to
optimizing models for specific applications.

When large industrial batteries are delivered, theyoften require installation work. For this reason, ourconventional approach has been to charter a truckfor each customer on the specified completion date
and to ship the product directly from the plant to thecustomer. This method, however, entailed a large
loading loss, so an improvement was needed forenvironmental conservation.
As a result of recent advances in the IT industry, we
are now able to keep track of construction details.
Consequently, we have been taking steps to switch
over to a terminal physical distribution system. With
such a system, we can batch-transport products
from our plants to our delivery center and then shipthem separately to individual customers. Comparedwith our conventional approach of shipping
individual products, this innovation greatly improved
loading efficiency. Because replacement demandfor industrial batteries is high, it is expected that
return-trip loads will increase once the wide area
certification system under the Waste Management
and Public Cleansing Law has been implemented.
Implementing such energy conservation measuresby transforming the existing system cannot bedone in a day; in fact, it has taken us more than 10
years to fully adopt the terminal physicaldistribution system. Going forward, we intend tofurther improve loading efficiency by adopting
information technology.

Fundamental policies and a medium-term plan for environmental conservation

Maintaining compatibility between environmental conservationand economic development
Our Policies and Medium-term Planfor Environmental Conservation
ISO 14001 standards stipulate the establishment of anenvironmental policy as a guideline for corporate environmental
management efforts and the regular examination of thesepolicies to reflect changes in corporate status and businessconditions. We established the Environmental Policy of the GS
Yuasa Group and implemented it in our domestic offices. Eachoffice used this policy as the basis for establishing its own
environmental policy.
In keeping with our corporate vision of “Innovation and
Growth,” we have developed medium-term plans for important
issues related to our environmental policy in order to contributeto the emergence of a sustainable society. Most recently, wedeveloped our Second Five-Year Environmental Plan, whichstarted in fiscal 2009 and concludes in fiscal 2013.

Second Five-Year Environmental Plan (Fiscal 2009 to2013) and Results for Fiscal 2009
Key items

Reduction of energy and resource usage

Fundamental philosophy

Action agenda•

We will reduce the rate of production errors and defective products(pursuit of greater efficiency of resource usage and the 3Rs;
consistency with ISO 9001).
• We will reduce the lead scrap rate to less than 2% by fiscal 2013.
• We will reduce the amount of waste water produced by industrial
processes to one-third of the fiscal 2003 level by fiscal 2013.

•

The lead scrap rate in fiscal 2009 was 4%.
• We reduced the amount of waste water produced in fiscal 2009 by
67% below the fiscal 2003 level.

•

We will further promote the proper disposal and recycling ofused products on the basis of the wide area certification system
under the Waste Management and Public Cleansing Law(increasing the range of businesses and products covered).

In fiscal 2009, the percentage of used industrial batteries under thewide area certification system under the Waste Management andPublic Cleansing Law was 69%.

With the current scope of the wide area certification system under the
Waste Management and Public Cleansing Law, there are businessareas and product categories to which the system cannot be applied.

We will implement product design for the environment and life
cycle assessment in development and design departments andprepare to address the issue of carbon footprints.
We will address the issue of MIPS (Material Intensity Per Service)in product design.

We promoted the development and design of environmentallyconsidered products on the basis of the GS Yuasa Design for theEnvironment Guidelines issued in October 2005.

Compared with the development of product applications, theincorporation of environmental consideration in product design isinsufficient.

Promotion of green procurement

We implemented second-party audits for suppliers subject toenvironmental auditing. We also undertook improvements to ourenvironmental management systems.

The introduction and improvement of environmental management
systems by suppliers must continue to be promoted.

In coordination with green procurement activities, we implemented
the comprehensive identification and management of chemicals
contained in products, and attained compliance with both Japaneseand overseas regulations on the amount of contents.

We will continue to practice chemical management within the frameworkof our environmental management systems.

In an effort to strengthen awareness of environmental risks, we distributed
the GS Yuasa Group Regulation Guidelines on Environmental Risk issued
in March 2009 to the environmental management representative at eachof our domestic offices, to Group Risk Management Committee, and to ourdomestic and international affiliates.

The level of sensitivity towards environmental risk, including
compliance, is insufficient. Reconsideration of environmental risks isnecessary at each site.

2

There were no instances of emergencies directly related toenvironmental pollution, and there were no instances of lawsuits,
punitive fines, or administrative fines related to environmental aspects.

We will continue to implement compliance measures within theframework of our environmental management systems.

Our Odawara office reacquired its certification of ISO 14001
registration in November 2009 following its relocation. All domestic
offices periodically underwent internal and external audits to identify
issues in order to implement improvements to our environmental
management system.

All of our domestic offices are committed to the continuous
improvement of our environmental management systems following
certification of registration with ISO 14001.

We undertook various activities such as cleaning the areas aroundour office grounds and conducting environmental education
programs at elementary schools. Moreover, under our environmental
management systems, we developed and implemented training
programs.

We will continue to practice social contribution initiatives within theframework of our environmental management systems.

We published our annual Environmental & Social Report in a
Japanese version and a combined English and Chinese version, bothof which were posted on our website in order to reach a diverse rangeof stakeholders. The completed questionnaires returned bystakeholders revealed a generally favorable impression of the report.

We will continue to implement environmental communication initiatives
within the framework of our environmental management systems.

We will support the acquisition and advancement of environmental
management system certification by suppliers.

3Management of chemicals

1

We carefully evaluate the environmental impacts of ourbusiness activities, products and services, and we are working
to reduce environmental burdens and to prevent pollution.
Through energy and resource conservation, waste reduction
and recycling, we will continuously improve our results.

2

We promote the development and design of products that
protect the environment throughout product life cycles. We seek
to reduce environmental impacts from the product development
and design stages to manufacture, use and disposal.

We will implement environmental risk education based on the GS
Yuasa Group Regulation Guidelines on Environmental Risk (andmake the management of environmental risk a subject ofenvironmental management systems).

4

We work to decrease environmental burdens with ourbusiness partners throughout our entire supply chain,including materials procurement and physical distribution.
We have created environmental management systems
according to ISO 14001 standards and have enacted
environmental policies at each of our offices based on thesefundamental policies. We also advance our environmental
management activities by setting related goals and targets.

5

We abide by all laws, ordinances, agreements andregulations related to the environment, as well as otherrequirements agreed on by the Group. We also makevoluntary management standards according to these asnecessary to promote environmental conservation.

6

We steadily execute revisions based on environmental audits
and management reviews to maintain and improve ourenvironmental management systems continuously.

11 2010 Environmental & Social Report

We will set voluntary management standards that exceed the requirementsof municipal and national government environmental regulations andpursue the improvement of our environmental management technologies.

Maintenance and continuous improvement ofenvironmental management systems

6

We will conduct internal environmental auditing and undertake continuous
improvement of our environmental management efforts.
We will receive environmental auditing from external inspection agencies
and seek to raise the level of our environmental management efforts.

Contributions to society

7

Through education, training and other environmental
awareness efforts, we promote the environmental awarenessof all group employees, and we contribute to society throughour environmental preservation activities.
We seek to achieve good communications with our
stakeholders and with society as a whole by providing
information related to the environment, including ourfundamental environmental policies.

Efforts aimed at reducing waste must be intensified through coordinationof process improvement and “product design for the environment.”• Further efforts — such as improved recycling — are required to facilitate
the efficient use of water.

Focusing on higher levels in the management of environmental aspects

On the basis of GS Yuasa Group Chemical Management
Guidelines established in April 2005, we will monitor the material
flow of chemicals regulated by these guidelines.

3

Our target achievement status is favorable. From now on, we must
manage our CO2 emissions in response to changing business conditions.
• In fiscal 2010, we will establish an energy reduction target for oursales locations and take appropriate actions.
• Our target achievement status is favorable. In the future, we willremain committed to increasing our energy efficiency and reducing
costs.

We succeeded in reducing CO2 emissions in fiscal 2009 by 34%
below the fiscal 1990 level.
• We calculated the amount of energy used by the various divisionsof our offices, including our sales locations, for fiscal 2009.
• We reduced the amount of energy used for physical distribution
by 7% below the fiscal 2006 level.
••1

Self-assessment/Challenges

We will reduce the amount of CO2 emissions to 30% less than the fiscal
1990 level by fiscal 2013.
• We will promote energy-saving activities at sales branches.
• We will reduce the amount of energy used in physical distribution to 5%
less than the 2006 level by fiscal 2011 (applicable to specified shippers).
•

GS Yuasa Group Fundamental
Environmental Policies

At the GS Yuasa Group, we set protection of
the global environment as one of our mostimportant tasks, and we contribute to the creationof a sustainable society through the development,
manufacture and sale of batteries, which are aform of clean energy, power supply systems, andlighting equipment.

Results for Fiscal 2009

Objectives

We will actively and continuously participate in environmental
conservation efforts and community beautification activities.
We will conduct continuous environmental education and training
for our employees.

Communication about the environment

Business activities and the environment经营活动和环境

We aim to reduce environmental burdens in all aspects of our business operations,
including manufacturing.

不仅是在生产工序，而且在事业活动的整个阶段致力于降低对环境负荷。

Our Group manufactures and sells batteries, power supply systems, and lighting equipment and provides related services
that are essential to many aspects of today’s business and society. Our business operations consume raw materials, energy,
water and resources while generating waste water, the greenhouse gas CO2, waste products and other materials. We are wellaware of the impact of our business operations on the environment. As a result, we are promoting efforts to reduce, reuse, andrecycle resources beginning with the product design stage. At the same time, we are striving to reduce CO2 emissions andother environmental impacts.
The principal product of our Group is the lead-acid battery, which incorporates lead as a main component. While lead is
ideal for recycling, it can also have a large environmental burden. Consequently, we are striving to minimize the defect ratefrom our production processes in order to reduce the scrap rate. Our initiatives include working to reduce environmental
burdens by recycling depleted lead-acid batteries.

杰士汤浅集团生产及销售在生活和生产活动的各个领域被广泛应用的蓄电池、电源供应设备、照明机器等等，并提供相关产品的
服务。在此经营活动过程中，我们投入了原材料、能源、水等资源（输入），而排放了废弃物、温室效应气体CO2、废水等（输出）。
我们充分认识到集团的经营活动对环境造成的影响，因此，从产品的设计阶段就开始致力于资源的3R（Reduce：节省资源化；
Reuse：重复使用；Recycle：循环再利用），并同时推进减少CO2排放量等活动。此外，本集团的主要产品铅蓄电池，其主要材料使
用铅。铅非常适合于资源的循环再利用，但同时它也可以说是给环境带来负担可能性很大的物质。杰士汤浅集团通过在生产工序中将
不良产品发生率降低到最小范围，减少废弃率并致力于已使用后铅蓄电池循环再利用，努力降低对环境的负担。

Comprehensive risk management and crisis management

杰士汤浅集团为了实现“通过革新与成长，为人类、
社会和地球环境作出贡献”的企业理念，把“通过电池而培植积累起来的先进能源技术，致力于为全球客户提供舒适而

本公司为了实现集团整体的高效管理以及正确的经营决策，通过定期向本公司董事会报告事业分公司业务执行情
况和重要事项的方式，构筑强化董事会职能的管控体制。
此外，还设置了公司内部、外部监查员以及监查员会议制度，每位监查员在董事会和其他重要集团会议上发表意见。同时，通过监查员会议上的信息交流，以及与本公司监
查室和会计监查人的协调，建立了可以迅速收集监查信息，并且可以开展高效监查的体制。

■Governance structure■管控体制

Our Group has established Risk Management Rules for risk avoidance
and in order to minimize both exposure to risk and corporate losses. We
have also established Crisis Management Rules in order to respond to
accidents and other types of crises that have the potential to materially
impact our business interests.
Each department holds a monthly meeting of its own Risk Management
Committee. Moreover, our Group Risk Management Committee holds
semiannual meetings to promote Group-wide risk management and toencourage the sharing of key information related to risk management.
Each department uses a Risk Management Sheet to evaluate thepotential for risk occurrence and the potential impact of identified risks
within the department. As a result, these departments determine the risks
to be managed.
Moreover, these departmental Risk Management Committees, led by
the respective department general manager, determine whether we areexposed to risk and evaluate risk mitigation measures.
Our president heads the Group Risk Management Committee, whose
members chair the various departmental Risk Management Committees.
The progress of risk management is reported by the chair of the Risk
Management Committee, who monitors whether appropriate risk
management measures have been implemented and encourages thesharing of risk information.
When a risk is identified, our system swiftly transmits data by
centralizing the information within the integrated department for crisis
management according to Crisis Management Rules. When a crisis ispredicted or actually occurs, members of the Group Risk Management
Committee organize a headquarters for crisis management and seek tominimize corporate losses.

风险管理的贯彻与危机管理
杰士汤浅集团为避免、减少风险并力求将企业损失降到
最低，制定了《风险管理规则》。为妥善应对给经营带来重大恶劣影响的、或者可能带来重大影响的事故，制定了《危机管理规则》。此外，为了贯彻风险管理，各事业部门每月召开风险管理委员会会议；每半年召开一次集团风险管理委员会会议，以推进集团整体的风险管理和共享风险管理所需的信息。
各事业部门采用《风险管理一览表》，评估所特定的各
自部门风险影响的重大性和发生的可能性，明确需进行管理的风险。同时，由各事业部门负责人担任委员长的各部门风险管理委员会对有无出现风险以及采取的风险对策进行评估。
集团风险管理委员会的委员长由本公司总经理担任，委员由各事业部门的风险管理委员会委员长组成。在该委员会
会议上，听取各事业部门的风险管理委员会委员长对风险管理状况的汇报，监测风险管理是否合理，并力求共享风险相关的信息。
我们正在健全一项体制，当风险明显存在时，基于《危机管理规则》将信息汇总到危机管理统括部门，并能迅速传达信息。另外，一旦预测将有危机发生或判断已发生危机
时，我们会设立由集团风险管理委员会成员组成的危机管理
对策总部，力求将公司的损失降到最低。

合规精神活动
杰士汤浅集团为了更切实地贯彻合规精神，制定了《合规推进规则》、《企业伦理标准》和《企业伦理行动准则》，
来推进合规活动。
2009年度，为进一步提高员工的合规意识，我们开展了以集团全体员工为对象的合规培训，修订了合规手册，实施了合规调查。另外，我们还采用网络远程教育方式，对本集团的
董事成员以及管理人员开展了合规培训，且开展了发布相关法
令修改的信息、定期在公司内部刊物刊登关于遵循法律法规的
消息和修订公司规则等工作。
