The Environment
We consider the impact that our business activities have on the environment and strive continuously to
reduce that impact at every stage from the development of products and services to procurement,
production, transportation, sales, and after-use disposal, recycling, etc.

Basic
PolicyLong-Term Goals

Priority Initiatives●Reduce total CO2 emissions for domestic business by 6.5% or more
relative to FY2013 levels by 2027

●Continuously improve the eco-friendliness of products by building a management system forevaluating environmentally friendly processes and their results in products and services●Switch all palm oil used in our raw materials to certiﬁed palm oil by
2027●Promoting measures to create a carbon-free society based on the Paris Agreement, and efforts
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at all sites●Use certiﬁed paper for all paper containers and packaging by 2027

●Grasp the impact on biodiversity of each product throughout its life cycle and carry out
measures to protect biodiversity●Continuously achieve zero emissions●Achieve and maintain zero emissions by fully recycling industrial waste■ Environmental Philosophy and Promotion System
It is our sincere hope to instill OYAKUDACHI, a contribution towards a comfortable life, for our consumers, our community, and thepreservation of the global environment, through the actions of our business. We have always been environmentally conscious indaily operations at Mandom, and it came into fruition in August 1999, in the form of the establishment of the Mandom
Environmental Philosophy and Fundamental Environmental Policy. Also, our Fukusaki Factory set its "Environmental Policy" as
shown below in October 1999, which was revised on May 1, 2006. It was certiﬁed to ISO 14001 in November 2000.
In May 2016, we revised our Environmental Philosophy to strengthen efforts with respect to environmental protection throughout
the value chain, corporate response to social demands, and systematic performance improvements. We also set environmental
policies and are carrying out environmental activities for three priority areas̶products, biodiversity conservation, and the Fukusaki
Factory.

Environmental Philosophy
We seek to accurately grasp the effects on the environment in our value chain and work with society to move ahead
with systematic environmental conservation.

Environmental Policies●Product Environmental Policy
We consider environmental friendliness to be an important aspect of product value. To help create a moresustainable society and build product value we strive to combine ecological and economic value in our products.

●Biodiversity Conservation Policy
We recognize how much we rely on and receive from the abundance of nature and many living things, so we seek toaccurately grasp the effects on biodiversity in our value chain and to lessen and prevent such impact.

●Fukusaki Factory Environmental Policy
We seek to accurately grasp the effects on the environment of the production of cosmetics and quasi-drug products; tohelp create a more sustainable society we will carry out environmental activities aimed at improving global
environmental conservation and relations with the local community.

1. We seek to accurately grasp the effects of our factory operations on the environment, and set, implement, and regularly
review environmental targets within our technical and economic capabilities in the effort to continually improve ourenvironmental conservation.

2. In our factory operations we aim to reduce environmental load and help create a more sustainable society throughactivities that focus on the following areas:a. Saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions
b. Working to achieve zero landﬁll disposal ("Zero Waste Emissions")c. Reducing the volume of industrial waste
d. Conserving local environments by preventing wastewater risks

3. We strive to comply with environmental regulations, uphold agreements with the community and stakeholders, andprevent pollution.

4. We strive to make every one of our employees aware of their role in following this environmental policy in their daily
actions.

This environmental policy is open to anyone who needs this information inside and outside our group.

The Environment■ Environmental Promotion System
Mandom considers environmental conservation to be a key issue in our business activities, and we carry out environmental
measures based on the Environmental Philosophy and Environmental Policy.
The Fukusaki Factory became ISO 14001-certiﬁed in November 2000, and in Mandom's ofﬁces (head ofﬁce building, Tokyo
Nihonbashi Building, sales sites and so on) we have set up environmental management systems based on the ISO standard. We also
promote environmental action based on environmental targets using a Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle.

■ Environmental Considerations in Products and Services■ Policy on Plastic Microbeads
In recent years the issue of plastics released into the oceans and their impact on ecosystems as they move through the food chain
has come under scrutiny. In the United States a law was passed in December 2015 to phase in the ban of Plastic Microbeads inpersonal care cleansing products.
In light of this situation, the Mandom Group has set a policy to stop using Plastic Microbeads in its facial cleansing products by theend of 2017, replacing Plastic Microbeads using a formulation that does not cause such concerns.
In August 2016, Mandom introduced an updated version of the Gatsby facial scrub available in Japan, now with an environmentallyfriendly biodegradable scrub. Also, in ﬁscal 2017 we completed the switch to alternative raw materials in Gatsby facial scrub
manufactured in Indonesia for overseas markets, and started shipments of the new product.

■ Protecting Biodiversity
In April 2016, we established a policy for protection of biodiversity, and incorporated it into our Environmental Policies (see P.35).
At the CSR Promotion Committee meeting in February 2017, we established the following long-term targets as Mandom Group CSR
Material Issues (Ver. 2).

1. To switch completely to the use of RSPO-certiﬁed palm oil as a raw material source by 2027
2. To switch completely to the use of FSC-certiﬁed paper for paper containers and packaging by 2027

These efforts will not only protect both the environment and biodiversity; they will help to actively build and strengthen cooperative
relationships with related suppliers and experts, NGOs and NPOs, and people in various communities. At the same time, the efforts
will lead to our building and implementing a CSR procurement system that also considers human rights and labor issues.

■ Procurement of Sustainable Palm Oil
To move toward procurement of sustainable palm oil in light of impacts on the environment, we joined the Roundtable on
Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) in March 2018 as an initiative for FY2017. With an eye toward future long-term targets, we havedeveloped a plan to purchase credits via the RSPO supply chain certiﬁcation model (Book & Claim system) for our purchasedamount of glycerin̶the raw material derived from palm oil that is used in the greatest volume at our Fukusaki Factory.

■ Procurement of Sustainable Paper Container and Packaging Materials
As a FY2017 initiative relating to the procurement of sustainable paper container and packaging materials, we began phased
switching to FSC-certiﬁed cardboard at the Fukusaki Factory, starting from new deliveries in February 2018, with a focus on
cardboard used to transport products manufactured by Mandom.

The Environment■ Promoting Measures Toward a Carbon-Free Society■ Factory Systems
At the Fukusaki Factory, the power consumption data taken from the powermonitoring system is shared at a monthly supervisors' meeting and used in thevarious sections of the factory to develop energy-saving measures. A switch wasmade to thermal energy for nighttime power for the air-conditioning andrefrigeration system, and an ice thermal storage system was adopted for thed ay t i m e fo r t h e m o s t e f fe c t i ve u s e o f p owe r . We a re a l s o u p g ra d i n g
air-conditioning equipment, and changing lighting to LEDs.
Power consumption at the Fukusaki Factory in FY2017 was 7.492 million kWh,up by roughly 0.1% year-on-year (with a 3.7% decrease in speciﬁc consumption
per unit sales). CO 2 emissions (Scope 1 + 2) were 4,125 tons, down by 2.7%
from the previous year (a 6.3% decrease in speciﬁc emissions per unit sales).
Power monitoring system of the Fukusaki Factory■ Ofﬁce Systems
Our head ofﬁce building uses demand monitoring to manage electric power
consumption in different ways at different times of the day and reduce peakdemand-side consumption. Furthermore, we are engaged in an ongoing shift to
LED lighting and high-efﬁciency transformers.
Power consumption in domestic ofﬁces in FY2017 was 3.117 million kWh, for an
increase of 3.1% over the previous year, and CO 2 emissions (Scope 1 + 2)
declined by 0.2% year-on-year to 2,091 tons.

Demand monitoring equipment at the head ofﬁce building■ Product Distribution
To reduce CO2 emissions in distribution, we have been streamlining operations and pursuing a modal shift from trucks to freighttrains and cargo ships. We started outsourcing operations in October 2004 with the aim of streamlining our distribution operations,using freight trains primarily for transporting products from Himeji to Kyushu, and cargo ships for transporting products from
Maizuru to Hokkaido.
In truck transportation, we strive to continue achieving as close to a 100% load efﬁciency as possible.
CO2 emissions attributable to distribution in FY2017 were 2,259 tons, a year-on-year increase of 1.3% (with a 4.1% decrease in
speciﬁc emissions per unit sales).

■ Promoting a Recycling-Oriented Society■ Efﬁcient Water Use
At the Fukusaki Factory, we are working to reduce water use by regularly calling upon each department to save water, and reviewing
methods of cleaning production equipment, piping and other facilities. Also, at the head ofﬁce building we use water-saving
equipment that controls water ﬂow and low-ﬂush toilets to reduce water use.
Water resource consumption in FY2017 was 83,649 m3, a dramatic year-on-year decrease of 7.3% (a 10.8% reduction in speciﬁc
consumption per unit sales).

■ Reducing Waste
Since October 2003 at the Fukusaki Factory we have been maintaining a 99% or higher rate of resource recovery from industrial
waste to qualify as "zero waste emissions." In FY2017, this was achieved at all Mandom business sites in Japan.
To encourage waste reduction and recycling at our head ofﬁce building, we conduct annual environmental awareness seminars inJune relating to such topics as environmental problems, and rules for proper waste classiﬁcation and disposal for new employees andindividuals who have transferred to the head ofﬁce building.
Waste emissions including general wastes were 3,433 tons* in FY2017, a year-on-year increase of 0.3%.
*From the FY2017 report, waste calculations include waste from returned products (including air emissions) and sales promotion materials.

At the Fukusaki Factory, when the boilers operate for an extended time, there are increased emissions of the air contaminants sulfur
oxide (SOx) and nitrogen oxide (NOx). We are therefore taking measures to improve boiler usage efﬁciency, introducing electricwater heaters, etc.
In FY2017, emissions of sulfur oxides (SOx) were 21 kg, a 38.2% decrease year-on-year, but emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) were
342 kg, a 39.6% increase over the previous year.

■ Wastewater Efforts
Starting in September 2015, wastewater from the Fukusaki Factory began to be discharged directly into Hyogo Prefecture's Fukusaki
municipal sewage system, in effect relaxing efﬂuent standards, but Mandom has continued to set standards higher than agreed
values and treats wastewater accordingly. Also, the results of measuring water quality discharged into the sewage system arereported to the town of Fukusaki once a month.
The total domestic volume of wastewater in FY2017 was 39,904 m 3, a year-on-year decrease of 4.6% (with an 8.2% decrease in
speciﬁc volume per unit sales).
