Environmentally Conscious
Production Processes and Oﬃce Activities

Prevention of Global WarmingWith energy consumption accounting for mostly of CO2 emissions at CMK production facilities in Japan, conserving energy is
an important activity for reducing CO2.
The CMK Group promotes energy conservation in every facet of business activities at its production facilities, oﬃces, anotherworkplaces to reduce CO2, a major cause of global warming.
In the 2014 ﬁscal year, CO2 emissions by Group companies in Japan totaled 108,269t-CO2 (a reduction of 1.0% from levelsin the previous year) and 80,918t-CO2 for overseas Group companies（a increase of 8.6% from levels in the previous year).

New formula for converting electrical energy to CO2
Carbon dioxide emissions coeﬃcient to that used by Japan's Ministry of the Environment. A default value (0.000555t-CO2 /kWh)
is used for overseas data.
For the Thai factory only, we recalculate by replacing the value with the coeﬃcient for power generation at the industrial park
(0.000197t-CO2 /kWh).

Prevention of Global Warming - Legal Compliance
The company's Working Group on CO2 Reduction holds regular panel meetings to discuss ways of reducing CO2
emissions, revisions to legislation and compliance.
With regard to local government ordinances for the prevention of global warming including those of theMetropolitan Tokyo government, we are planning our response by scrutinizing the ordinance requirements and thetargeted business sites.

Waste reduction，Resource-recycling and Resource-saving Activities
Domestic group companies generated a total of 22,259 tons of waste and valuable resources in ﬁscal 2014
and maintained a 100% zero-emissions rate.
Overseas group companies generated a total of 15,043 tons of waste and valuable resources and achieveda zero-emissions rate of 94.3% (up 1.1 percentage points on the previous year). Although overseas groupcompanies are aﬀected by conditions in the countries and regions in which they are located, the company isactively working to achieve zero emissions and has already done so at CMKC (DONG GUAN) LTD.

No waste material is generated for direct disposal into landﬁlls.
(Excludes material deposited into landﬁlls following intermediate treatment by subcontractors.)
Zero emissions is considered achieved when a 100% ratio can be maintained on an ongoing basis.

Production Processes and Oﬃce Activities

Examples of Activities at the Production Bases
Energy conservation case studies
Implementation of Energy Saving Diagnosis at Domestic Production Bases by a Third-Party Institution
CMK maintains and manages production and ancillary facilities. It conducts energy-saving activities at its factories
by assigning staﬀ members from the Facilities Department to each factory. This setup allows for production
activities to be conducted every day without delay.
The thermal energy at our factories consists of electric energy, gas, and heavy oil A. Of this, electric energy
accounts for more than 80%.
In particular, compared to the previous ﬁscal year fuel adjustment costs and renewable energy charges, which are
added to the electricity bills, represented a considerable increase in energy costs in FY2014.
In light of these factors, the Environmental Promotion Department, which acts as the headquarters, took theEnergy saving diagnosis of factory facilities
initiative in FY2014 by having a third-party institution conduct an energy saving diagnosis at the seven factories inJapan between July and November 2014.
The Environmental Promotion Department held discussions with the Facilities Department at each factory. Based on the results of the diagnosis, they worked together
to implement projects that were extremely eﬀective in reducing the amount of energy used and delivering high cost-beneﬁt performance in a planned manner.

Energy Conservation Initiatives at G Station Factory: Energy saving through highly-eﬃcient steam boilers
The G Station Factory was considering plans for refurbishing the existing stream boilers used for production. Energy saving diagnosisof new boilers showed that the amount of energy used can be reduced while improving the cost-beneﬁt performance. In light of theseresults, we replaced the existing stream boilers with highly-eﬃcient steam boilers with unit control capabilities in early February 2015.
Following the replacement of the steam boilers, the production per unit (the amount of heavy oil A used for the production of 1 ㎡ of
substrate: ℓ/ ㎡ ) improved by 29%, which was greater than expected (the amount of heavy oil A used for the six months fromFebruary decreased about 114KL, or 199 tons of CO2). However, the veriﬁcation period is still short.

・The boilers were refurbished in February 2015 and operated stably in April 2015 following subsequent trial runs, adjustments, and condition settings

Energy Conservation Initiatives at Kanbara Factory: Energy-saving V belts cut down on the amount of energy used
Energy-saving V belts were recommended following the energy saving diagnosis conducted at the Kanbara Factory. The records ofenergy-saving V belt manufacturers show that their energy-saving rate improved 3% due to reduction of the power transmission loss.
We conducted repeated experiments comparing the energy-saving eﬀect of existing V belts and energy-saving V belts, using theexhaust-gas treatment equipment at the factory as a model. These experiments veriﬁed that the energy-saving rate improved 2 to 3%.
There are a considerable number of power transmission belts at the factory, and thus even if the energy-saving rate improves by only afew percentage points, the amount of electric energy consumed is expected to fall. We plan to gradually replace the existing V belts
with the energy-saving V belts at each factory.

Environmental Measures for Company Cars
With the enactment of the Automobile NOx and PM Law in October 2003,useof non-compliant diesel cars is subject to regulation in designated regions.In
response to these restrictions,CMK switched the diesel cars in its sales ﬂeet
to gasoline cars（Full switch as of FY 2006）.
At the same time, it worked to reduce CO2 emissions by switching to small
Compact gasoline cars（using engines of 1,300cc or less）with high fueleﬃciency and low emissions.
As a result, the company owned a total of 38 compact gasoline cars,24
regular gasoline cars,13 hybrid cars.

Summer Energy-saving Efforts
In accordance with governmental guidelines, during the summer, the CMK Group sets oﬃce air conditioners in areas where ambient temperatures do not aﬀect productquality to 28℃.
This helps relieve consumption and demand at a time of the year when most air conditioners in Japan are operating at full capacity and energy demand is at a peak.
Each business site regularly implements energy eﬃciency patrols under the guidance of the energy eﬃciency committees.
The company has also extended the duration of cool biz initiatives and encourages employees to wear lighter clothes during the summer months.
The company is committed to raising environmental awareness amongst its employees, by promoting environmental activities in which everyone can readily participate.

Green Purchasing Activities
CMK promotes environmentally sound procurement of oﬃce supplies throughthe positioning of Green Procurement.
We have also established green-purchasing guidelines, referring to information
provided by the Green Purchasing Network（GPN）and Eco Mark, recording
all relevant purchase data.
FY2011, we expanded the scope of conﬁrming green purchasing ratios to all
the domestic CMK Group companies.

Implementation of Environmental Audits by the CMK Group

Formulation of the FY 2015 environmental slogan（selected from employee entries）

The CMK Group engages in two types of environmental audits: EMS audits for theenvironmental management system and EHS control audits with a focus on thecontrol of environmental hazardous substances.
Additionally, an in-house certiﬁcation system has been established to train EHS
control auditors to increase the number of auditors and maintain and enhanceauditing skills.
Internal EMS audits were carried out at ISO14001-certiﬁed facilities to conﬁrm
eﬀective implementation of environmental management systems and environment
preservation activities.
The CMK Group also conducted periodic audits through outside auditing companies.

Each year, CMK chooses a new Environment Slogan designed
to boost awareness of the importance of environmental
initiatives by each and every employee.Selected from a ﬁeld ofsome 779 entries, the FY 2015 slogan is " Make steadyeﬀorts ！ Generate unconventional ideas! Let's be a advanced
excellent company of environment!"◆Number of EHS management auditors◆Number of internal environmental auditors（as of the end of March, 2015）（as of the end of March, 2015）
