MITSUMI has devised unique technologies and established high level of corporate
ethics to contribute to the world. We are going to fulﬁll our social responsibility as
a company, and contribute to the sustainable development of society.
Aiming at Continuous Growth Based on the High Level of Corporate Ethics
Looking at the current world economy, the economy is still expanding in the U.S.A. and seems to havebottomed out in Europe. However, the rate of economic growth of developing countries such as China isslowing more noticeably. In a world economic condition like this, each companyʼs proﬁtability has risen in
Japan, and we think that the resilience of the Japanese economy keeps on increasing vigorously.
It is important for MITSUMI to adapt to changes in the times ﬂexibly and continue to provide products andservices useful for solving problems of the society as well as the customers by manufacturing electronicparts, which is our main business, so that we can meet expectation of stakeholders and continue to growwhile the world is fast changing. We also assume that each employee of MITSUMI has to fulfill his/her
responsibility as a member of society and play his/her part.
As for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), we regarded it as one of the most important issues, andorganized the CSR Promotion Committee in order to increase involvement of the top management with
it as the cross-sectoral endeavors. We will strengthen the entire CSR promotion system of the MITSUMI
group further for other issues such as management control, compliance with laws, regulations and social
norms, and management and timely disclosure of information.

Further Promotion of Resource Saving, Energy Saving and Environmental Conservation
Recently the economy has developed rapidly in developing countries and this has driven the global
economy. On the other hand, several problems such as depletion of resources caused by increase inenergy consumption and the progress of global warming caused by emission of CO2 and other factors havebecome so serious that they can threaten the sustainability of the society. In Japan, the energy measure
has reached the critical changing point after the Great East Japan Earthquake, and companies are required
to use energy more eﬀectively than ever to conduct business activities.
We believe that activities of companies have a signiﬁcant inﬂuence on the global environment and society
and this inﬂuence will become greater in the future, and that companies have to consider the inﬂuence on
the global environment and society more seriously than ever when they perform business operation. So, we
believe that our role and responsibility for society will become greater than ever.
MITSUMI regards environmental problems as one of the most important business challenges and will
make greater eﬀorts to reduce the environmental loads in all aspects from the product development/design
to the manufacturing process and promote resource saving and energy saving. We will continue to promote
reduction of greenhouse gases emission and promote biodiversity conservation activities also.
Meeting Your Expectations to Contribute to the Development of Society Further
We started business in Yukigaya, Ohta Ward, Tokyo in January 1954 as “Mitsumi Denki Seisakusho”.
We manufactured and sold parts for communication devices such as sockets and connectors at start ofthe business. From the beginning to present, we have made a wide contribution in development of society
through “manufacturing” as a comprehensive electronic parts manufacturer.
The business environment surrounding companies changes very rapidly now. We are and will be required
to keep providing you with value-added products special to us while corresponding to this environmental
change. To do so, we have to enhance our operational capabilities.
We have decided management integration with Minebea Co., Ltd. in order to meet expectation of
stakeholders and make the leap to the next step. We believe that management integration of MITSUMI
and Minebea will produce synergy effect to improve the respective company values continuously. Even
after this management integration, we will continue to contribute to development of society through ourcore business, “manufacturing,” and then provide you with new values.
We hope we can count on your continued support and assistance in the days to come.

Protection IC with Built-in Memory for Li-ion / Li-poly Secondary Battery
In response to the market trend of large current required as a result of the higher capacity ofbatteries and increase of a load to be imposed on batteries, we have developed this IC basedon the concept: use time of a battery will be extended by increasing precision of the overcharge
detection voltage and normal current for the corresponding product will be secured by increasing
precision of the overcurrent cut-oﬀ current to cut oﬀ abnormal current in the safer area. This IC
contributes to improvement of the safety of a mobile terminal that uses a lithium ion secondary
battery. Concretely speaking, it allows a mobile terminal to compensate the overcharge detection
voltage and/or overcurrent cut-oﬀ current even after the terminal is assembled thanks to its builtin memory. Both a protection IC and an FET for a charging/discharging switch incorporated into
one package and the proﬁle reduced up to 0.5 mm allow you to design a PWB more easily.

Small GPS/GLONASS Antenna
A GPS is widely used as a satellite positioning system. Recently, there has been a growing needfor an antenna that performs positioning with a GLONASS as well as a GPS in the market. Due toincrease of positioning performed with a satellite, the receivable area is widened and the positioning
precision is improved. This product is a small antenna for a GPS/GLONASS: the size is 55% of ourconventional products, and the shape is the same as that of an antenna for a GPS alone. Whilethe number of devices to be mounted on in-vehicle electronics is increasing, it is getting harder tosecure a space for mounting an antenna. The shape of this product is designed to allow the productitself to be mounted on the conventional space in consideration of such a situation.

Corporate Governance
Strengthening corporate governance to speed up business operations and promote eﬃciency
while securing better corporate soundness and transparency, and increasing shareholder worth.
Faced with a ceaselessly changing global market, MITSUMI believes that it is important to improve the eﬃciency and speedof operations as well as to maintain soundness and transparency of operations so that we can improve our corporate value
steadily while improving the corporate performance and dealing with expansion of our business.
With this philosophy as our basis, MITSUMI is creating systems for speedy and accurate business judgments, and also
is improving and strengthening the corporate governance system by using the statutory audit system, selecting outside
directors and introducing an executive oﬃcer system in April 2014 to establish the eﬀective corporate governance system.

Corporate Governance Policy

In accordance with the Japanʼs Corporate Governance Code formulated by Tokyo Stock Exchange, MITSUMI establishes its policies in
December. With the Board of Directors acting as a top decision-making body, MITSUMI strives to establish an appropriate environment for the
execution of shareholdersʼ rights. We take the initiative in promoting opportunities for a dialogue with our shareholders in addition to the generalshareholdersʼ meeting, maintaining and improving a good relationship with other stakeholders, and disclosing and providing correct information.
Further, the structures, roles and duties of the Board of Directors and the Board of Auditors, as well as the criteria for selecting candidates forthe positions of director and auditor are clearly deﬁned.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors, acting as a decision-making body, carries out ﬁnal decisions on corporate objectives and important issues ofbusiness management, while also monitoring how executive oﬃcers execute their duties. In addition, several outside directors have been
selected to improve the validity of decision making and the soundness and transparency of management.

Board of Auditors

The Board of Auditors conducts audits on the situation for executive oﬃcersʼ execution of duties, as well as the business and ﬁnancesituation of MITSUMI and its subsidiaries. It also attends important meetings such as the Board of Directors, acting in concert with auditing
corporations and the internal auditing oﬃce to audit the legality, soundness and eﬀectiveness of our operations. Among four auditors of
MITSUMI, three are assigned as outside corporate auditors to carry out checks on our management from outside the company.

Executive Oﬃcers

Executive oﬃcers are our senior staﬀs who execute business of the division of which each one is in charge. Introduction of an executiveoﬃcer system allows each executive oﬃcer to have suﬃcient authority to make decisions or execute business more quickly. The meeting of
the executive oﬃcers has a function of an advisory body for helping the president to make decisions.

Internal Auditing Oﬃce

The Internal Auditing Oﬃce conducts ongoing ﬁeld auditing of the legality and properness of our business management and procedures in
MITSUMIʼs diﬀerent divisions and at subsidiaries. There are regular meetings with auditors to exchange information and opinions in e orts
to improve auditing quality.

Internal Control

The internal control systems required by the Companies Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act have been established in
the entire MITSUMI Group. These function to improve the eﬀectiveness and eﬃciency of our operations, secure reliable ﬁnancial contents,
observe laws and statutes on corporate operations, and maintain resources.

Environmental Management System
The entire MITSUMI Group strives to achieve harmony with nature andenvironment as the basic environ mental philosophy of the company.
MITSUMI Group Environment Management System
MITSUMI Group conducts most of its production activities abroad. In carrying out activities
to promote environmental protection, our business divisions in Japan and abroad as well asaffiliated companies overseas are indispensable in creating an environmental management
system and making ongoing improvements. The recent environmental problem has become a
big global problem beyond national boundaries including the global warming phenomenon, ozone
layer depletion, usage of noxious chemical substances, illegal damping of waste products andcrisis of loss of biodiversity, and then aﬀects our business activities seriously. All of MITSUMIGroup business divisions in Japan and production bases abroad had been making eﬀorts to gain
ISO14001 global certiﬁcation, and ﬁnally gained it in December 2010. As a result, we can set
the policy and goal uniﬁed as the MITSUMI Group, share and unify information, and respond toany problem more quickly.

Environmental Management System
Green Procurement
MITSUMI Group believes that close cooperative relationship with customers is essential to productionof high performance and high quality electronic parts, and thus considers the factors such as the quality,
price, delivery date and environment when procuring an article to make efforts to perform a fair andjust purchasing operation. We have asked for the business partnersʼ understanding on this matter andcooperation. Especially since environmental loads generated due to products and/or articles themselves
and their production process have become an environmental problem, eﬀorts toward
reduction of the environmental loads (that is, environment-friendliness) are required.
MITSUMI Group regards eﬀorts to preferentially procure environmentally-friendly articles
as “Green Procurement,” and recognizes reduction of environmental loads as the mostimportant matter related to the environmental protection promotion activity to continue
to address this challenge. Moreover, we will advance the Green Procurement to the “CSR
Procurement” from business partners who are promoting the CSR activities such as
respect for human rights and development of the working conditions.
We established the “Statement of Green Procurement Standards,” which regulates
the Green Procurement and CSR Procurement for the business partners, in August
2014 to ask for their cooperation.

● Statement of Green
Procurement Standards

Management Organization
MITSUMI Group determines group objectives and directives in the MITSUMI Environmental Committee withattendance by the CEO. Environmental management oﬃcers then relate ﬁndings to individual business divisions.
Upon receiving that input, those business divisions implement the directives in their respective systems.
A Chemical Substance Management Committee, composed of representatives of the business divisions and therelated organizations at the company headquarters, iron out objectives and action regarding the chemical substances
contained in products of the MITSUMI Group, after which information on those substances (client demand, domestic
and overseas legislation, etc.) is pooled and investigations of problem areas take place. At the same time, theoverseas plants connected with those business divisions come up with decisions and supply reports.
The Environmental Management Promotion Committee is composed of environmental management personnel
and offices at the individual action sites to investigate the activities at MITSUMI Group regarding theenvironment and to locate problems. Other tasks are creating drafts of Fiscal Year Environmental Objectives andGoals common to all business divisions in Japan and issuing reports to the MITSUMI Environmental Committee.

Environmental Education
Beginning with the environmental education that is carried out for all new employees every year in April,
we conduct various forms of environmental education based on ISO14001 and our chemical substancecontrol regulation at our domestic business divisions as well as overseas aﬃliated companies.
In creating texts required for environmental education, the Environmental Management Division (Quality
and Environment Headquarters) examines text contents and then writes textbooks. Up to now they havepublished an Environmental Handbook, Educational Textbook on Chemical Substances, Environmental Law
Handbook, and Biodiversity Handbook. These teaching materials are sent to each business division in
Japan and overseas aﬃliated companies to carry out environmental education for all employees.
In 2015, we revised the Environmental Handbook and the Environmental Law Handbook to increase ourunderstanding of the environment and our environmental consciousness.

Environmental Accounting Guidelines 2005
Starting in ﬁscal 2006, we embarked on introduction of environmental accounting
for all business divisions in Japan, and thus gained a grasp on the environmental
protection cost and the economic eﬀects of environmental protection measures.
The environmental protection costs during fiscal 2015 featured a total
investment of 11.6 million yen, and costs amounting to 753.6 million yen. As
was the case in fiscal 2015, 46.7% of the investment amount was occupied
by prevention of pollutions, 17.8% was occupied by protection of the global
environment and 16.5% was occupied by management activities
The economic eﬀect of environmental protection measures was 50.4 million yen,and 96.4% was occupied by the energy-saving effect and 5.4% was occupied
by proﬁts of sale of valuables and so on. Note that MITSUMI is computing these
economic effects only in cases where the results of activities are clear andunmistakable.

Outline of the Environmental Loads in Fiscal 2015
Outline of the Environmental Loads in Fiscal 2015
In the MITSUMI Group there is the direct environmental load resulting from industrial activities (productdevelopment and production, supply) and then an indirect load on the environment due to the generation ofwaste water and waste substances in industrial and production activities.
Especially in the production stage, use of materials and other resources, use of energy such as electric
power and fuel, and use of various chemicals is involved.
The MITSUMI Group makes every effort to get an accurate grasp on these direct and indirectenvironmental load in order to reduce that load.

Situation for Use and Discharge of PRTR Target Substances
In Japan, as based on the PRTR Promotion Law, regarding the 462 substances that are thetarget of PRTR (Class 1 Designated Chemical Substances), enterprises manufacturing or using
more than one ton yearly of those substances must autonomously grasp the amounts being
discharged in the environment and the amounts that are transferred outside the operations

Mangrove Planting Activity in Cebu MITSUMI
Total of 150 persons such as employees and theirfamily members and participants of the subcontract
factories planted 2,500 seedlings of mangroves on
the tidal ﬂat in Danao City, in which Cebu MITSUMI
is located, as one of the environmental activities
on October 18, 2015. Cebu MITSUMI started themangrove plating activity in September 2012, andthey planted seedlings of mangroves for the fifth
times this time, and the total number of seedlingsof mangroves they planted reached 11,000.
Cebu MITSUMI started making diligent efforts toplant trees as well as mangroves in 2008, andconducted a tree-planting activity five times andplanted a total of 25,000 trees so far.
Mangroves grow on a tidal flat, so people may
have to plant seedlings until water rises above
their knees or may bog down in the quagmire. It isquite hard to plant mangroves on a tidal flat. Big
complicated roots of mangroves are characteristic.
Crabs and fishes lay their eggs among roots ofmangroves. Young fishes grow and hide among
the roots: the ecosystem unique to mangrovesis formed. The spreading big roots prevent
saltwater from flowing into the inland when highwaves are generated by a typhoon. Recently, a●Scene of the mangrove planting activity in Cebu MITSUMI
