Business Report 事业报告Promoting global management of the environmental impact of products
throughout their lifecycle
The economic downturn that first manifested itself in
September 2008 (originating in a financial crisis in the U.S.) has
engulfed the entire world in a very short period of time. We now
find ourselves in a situation that has been described as theworst recession in 100 years. At the same time, theenvironment has suddenly become the center of attention as a
key issue that can bring the world out of this recession, as
expressed by the phrase “Green New Deal”.
Fortunately, our Group’s core technologies and related
business activities have characteristics that support andadvance these needs of society and underlying social trends. In
2008, our Group’s management took the first concrete steps
towards delivering results in areas such as the utilization ofsustainable energy and the effective use of stored energy. A
prime example is lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.
It is a fact, however, that in the process of these businessactivities, large amounts of energy and resources are
consumed, and the discharge of waste and the emission of
CO2 impact the global environment. For this reason, at all of
our Group’s offices, we have established environmental policies
based on the GS Yuasa Group Fundamental Environmental
Policies, and have implemented environmental management
activities to establish, implement, maintain, and continually
improve environmental management systems that comply with
ISO 14001.
In this context, the First Five-Year Environmental Plan wasformulated in 2004. Fiscal 2009 saw the start of the Second
Five-Year Environmental Plan, which will end in 2013. The
basic concept of the Second Five-Year Environmental Plan is to
fully understand the impact that our Group’s products have on
the environment throughout their lifecycle (both at acomprehensive business level and a global level) and to52009 Environmental & Social Report

Commitment from the top

manage this impact. Initially, we focused not only on
production processes, but also the entire spectrum of related
corporate activities, such as procurement and external
distribution. In the future, we will expand our range of vision to
include consideration of the circumstances in which products
are used and what happens to products after they have been
used, and we will promote business activities based on a
viewpoint that considers a product’s “footprint” which includes
product design and component selection.
In addition to activities related to the global environment, ourGroup will, in its relations with customers, business partners,
shareholders, local communities, and its own employees,
proactively strive to fulfill its responsibilities with a strong
awareness of the role of a corporation as a social entity.
This 2009 Environmental & Social Report has been preparedin both Japanese and Chinese/English versions, allowing
communities, our business partners, shareholders, andinvestors within Japan and abroad, to better understand ourenvironmental management activities and efforts to help society.
In disclosing information related to our environmental andsocial activities, we aim to provide more transparency andfoster greater trust. As we work as a whole to lessen ourenvironmental burden, we shall also contribute to therealization of a sustainable society.

经营活动和环境

We promote the reduction of environmental burdens in all business activities, not only manufacturing processes
不仅是生产工序，在整个经营活动过程中正在推进减少对环境的负荷
Our Group manufactures and sells batteries, power supply systems, and lighting equipment, and provides related services that areimportant in many aspects of today’s business and society. In the process of our business activities, raw materials, energy, water andresources are consumed, and waste water, the greenhouse gas CO2, waste products and other materials are generated. We are aware of
the impact that our business activities have on the environment. We are promoting efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle resources beginningat the product design stage, as well as to reduce CO2 emissions and other environmental impacts.
These pages show the material flows from our business activities during fiscal 2008. We consider data on the amount of inputs andoutputs to be important indicators of our environmental conservation efforts. We will use these methods to measure the success of our efforts.
It is noteworthy that lead, the main material in lead-acid batteries, is well-suited for recycling, but it is also a substance that can have aheavy impact on the environment. Because of this fact, we are striving to minimize the number of defective products generated from our
production processes as well as reducing the scrap rate. Our endeavors include working to reduce environmental impacts by recycling usedlead-acid batteries.

杰士汤浅集团生产及销售在生活及生产活动中的各个领域被广泛应用的蓄电池、电源供应系统、照明设备，并提供相关产品的服务。在经营活动过程中，原材料、能源、水以及资源作为输入性物质，而废水、温室效应气体CO2、废弃产品和其他材
料为输出性物质。我们清楚地认识到集团的经营活动对环境的影响，所以，从产品的设计阶段开始就致力于资源的3R（reduce:
节省资源、reuse:重复使用、recycle:循环再利用），并同时开展减少CO2排放量等活动。
该示意图显示了我们在2008年经营活动的原材料流程。在我们的集团，我们将这些输入和输出物质作为在环境保护方面活动的重要指标，并予以充分利用。
此外，铅作为铅酸蓄电池的主要原材料，非常适合循环再利用，但它同时也是很有可能对环境带来影响的物质。杰士汤浅集团通过在生产过程中使不良品的发生率降低到最小，消减废弃率并致力于旧铅酸蓄电池的循环再利用，来努力降低对环境的影响。

In 2008, energy conservation and a reduction in the amount ofdischarged waste were identified as key issues, and greater efforts
were focused on the reduction of environmental burdens.
By promoting systematic energy conservation activities centeredon an energy conservation committee, introducing highly energyefficient equipment and transitioning to more efficient production
methods, YTTL was able to cut the amount of CO2 emissions by
6.5% compared to the previous fiscal year.
A printing machine utilized to print lot numbers on the surfaces of
products was recently replaced. The old machine had low printing
quality and often malfunctioned. The new unit uses laser marking

printing as opposed to inkjet printing. This change eliminated theneed to dispose of the waste cloth that was used in frequently
performed maintenance and the used ink containers left after ink
replacement. As a result, the amount of discharged waste was cut
by 9.5% in comparison with the previous year, and operating costs
were greatly reduced.
To continue efforts aimed at reducing the environmental burdens
associated with its business activities, and to comply with regulations on chemicals contained in products (such as Europe’s RoHS
Directive), YTTL is implementing the management of chemicals
contained in products as part of an environmental management
system. In pursuing environmentally considered business activities
based on the three-point principle of “not buying, not using, and not
producing harmful substances”, customers will be provided withproducts they can use with peace of mind.

Our fundamental approach to corporate governance and our governance structure

Comprehensive risk management and crisis management

To realize our philosophy of contributing to “people, society, andthe global environment through Innovation and Growth”, our Groupis working to manifest its vision of “delivering security and comfort toour customers around the globe through advanced technologies
developed in the field of stored energy solutions” and to unite allGroup employees in this common commitment. We believe that
continuous efforts directed at corporate governance maximize
corporate value, and we believe corporate governance is an
important management issue.
To ensure efficient management and proper business judgment
across the entire Group, we are building a governance structure to

Our Group established Risk Management Rules to minimize therisks and corporate losses inherent in doing business. In
accordance with these rules, we have established a Group Risk
Management Committee, led by our President, to promote risk
management and to encourage the sharing of key information. We
are ensuring uniform risk management compliance through theappointment of risk management committees by each department
and each subsidiary.
Management risk is segmented into compliance, business, social,and disaster/accident risk. Each Risk Management Committee
creates a Risk Management Sheet. The Risk Management

strengthen the function of the Board of Directors. This includes theperiodic presentation to the Board of reports on the status of workof, and important items related to, each department and businesssubsidiary.
Also our auditors present their opinions at Board of Directors andimportant Group meetings. By facilitating the exchange of
information at Auditor Meetings, and ensuring coordination with the
GS Yuasa Business Auditing Office and accounting auditors, we aresolidifying a framework making it possible to obtain the information
required for auditing and to conduct audits in an efficient manner.

Committee uses the tool to identify and evaluate risk within adepartment or company, and to check the risk status on a daily
basis. We are also constructing mechanisms to ensure once arisk-related problem occurs, the applicable department, company,
Group Risk Management Committee office, and other relevant
departments promptly and appropriately respond to the issue.
To respond to accidents and other types of crises, Crisis
Management Rules have been established. These rules specify a
Crisis Management Response Team be established if the President
identifies the potential for a material adverse effect on our Group’sbusiness interests.
