Growing into a Rock-Solid Company that Adapts to Changes in the Environment
Over the last few years we find ourselves facing various social issues, such as global warming,
food crises, and resource depletion stemming from world population growth. There are also
human rights and poverty problems caused by economic disparities. We have very little time left
to solve these issues and create a sustainable society.
In the midst of these conditions, we at CMK Corporation work hard every day to contribute to
the greater society through our business as a specialized manufacturer of printed wiring boards.
Printed wiring boards form the core of many different electronic devices. As a product that isessential for our everyday lives, they are applied in a wide array of devices throughout society,ranging from familiar ones we see on a daily basis to those used in the outer space. We believe
this makes it the top priority for us to earn the trust of society and build upon that base.
Our motto For Development and Lasting Prosperity reflects the very essence of CSR thatcompanies are required to fulfill. We have continued to run our business in line with this mottoon the front lines of the market for the 50 years since our foundation. This proves that we are

President and Chief Executive Oﬃcer

deemed to be necessary and supported by society, and we are extremely grateful for the
response we have received.
We know what we need to do to achieve sustainable growth and respond to the needs ofsociety. Motivated by the slogan of “wholehearted manufacturing,” we will continue moving forward to grow into a rock-solid company
that adapts to environmental changes.

Establishment of Our CSR Approach and the Education of Human Resources
We believe that CSR stands as a statement for what we need to do to contribute to society through business. To fulfill this aim, wemust establish and promote a clear management policy and vision.
Beginning with our starting base as a manufacturer, we must consider manufacturing from the perspective of our customers. They
are our stakeholders, and it is essential we give them our full attention in order to identify their needs. We encourage our employees
to ensure wholehearted manufacturing in order to improve the quality at all of our factories in the world, pursue high quality, andenable the standardization of quality.
We constantly listen to society, ask ourselves what is expected of us, and seek to determine what we can do. Adopting this frame ofmind, we aim to be a corporation that continues to contribute to society.
To install this awareness and attitude within all of our employees, we continue to promote initiatives such as the establishment of the
CMK Group Compliance Handbook, which describes the concept of compliance in an easy-to-understand manner, as well as norms
such as the basic philosophy and policy of the CMK Group, including the company motto and the CMK Group Action Statement.
It is people who form the driving force in actually implementing measures in accordance with the policy we set. We place special
emphasis on cultivating human resources who can take an active role in the global market, and in doing so foster an awareness as
business managers among them. At the same time, we will further accelerate the promotion of initiatives to function as a group of
professionals who can think and act on our own.

Future Prospects of Our Business and CSR Activities
We anticipate further growth for the entire electronic circuit board industry within which our company operates. This growth will be
spurred various factors, such as the needs for the computerization of vehicles for greater safety and environmental performance, thegrowth of demand from the healthcare field, the growth of markets related to security devices and communication module devices, andthe widespread use of smartphones and tablet terminals.
Our company has a competitive edge, particularly in the market of automotive circuit boards, in terms of our comprehensive capability
to ensure a high level of quality. We have strengthened this capability to improve it, while also strengthening our production capacity
and ability to ensure high cost efficiency. The aim of our operations is to become the leading global manufacturer in this market.
Within these conditions, we believe we must remain fully aware of the relationship between CSR and our business as we work topromote and develop our operations on a global scale.
We will continue striving to determine what we need to do to contribute to society through business, and aim to be a corporationthat continues to fulfill this aim.
We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support in the future.

Environmental problems in China, such as PM2.5 air pollution, have been growing more severe. Faced with these
problems, the CMK Groupʼs production facilities in China (CMKC (DONG GUAN) LTD. and CMK ELECTRONICS (WUXI)CO., LTD.) have been promoting initiatives proactively, with a focus on energy-saving and resource-saving activities.
This section highlights and introduces these activities.

Replacing Existing Motors with
Energy-Saving, High-Efficiency Motors

One environmental measure we have been considering is
the conversion of fuel to liquefied natural gas (LNG). We
started work and completed full conversion to LNG in
January 2015.
It was a painstaking process to complete the applications
for installing the LNG tank and converting the boiler. Thanks
to fuel conversion, however, we can now reduce 180 tonsof CO2 emissions every year and save energy costs.

In FY2014, we replaced 54 motors in our factory withenergy-saving, high-efficiency motors. This has enabled
us to reduce CO2 emissions and save on energy costs.

Introduction of an energy-saving
water chiller system

Using Recycled Water
The quality of recycled water supplied from the Wuxi New
District is extremely high and exhibits a low level of conductivity.
The use of this water has enabled us to make pure water,which is essential for manufacturing printed wiring boards, more
efficiently than before. In addition, we do not need to use theextra amount of heating steam to adjust the temperature
because recycled water is of a stable temperature.
In addition, we have introduced a system for recycling
wastewater from our factory to cope with the tough effluent
regulations of China. The use of the recycled water has
prolonged the life of consumables used for devices byapproximately two years. Thanks to these unique water-related
benefits of the Wuxi New District, we were able to reduce thecost while at the sametime save on resources.

The water chiller, or the item of equipment used tocreate cold water for use in the factory, consumes more
power than expected. To deal with this issue, we haverepeatedly conducted various tests to reduce the level ofpower consumption. Following this series of tests, we
decided to adopt a connection module type high-efficiency
chiller system.
This system has enabled us to reduce power
consumption by 1,425,000 kWh per year and CO2 emissions
by 813 tons per year from their previous levels.

Voice of individuals whose slogan was
selected for the FY2015 Environment Slogan

Every year since FY2001, the CMK Group has solicited newenvironmental slogans from employees.

Themes for FY 2014
Energy Conservation Diagnosis
We conduct various energy conservation initiatives. To further promoteenergy conservation activities, we ask an external institution to conduct anenergy conservation diagnosis at our factories in Japan. In the on-site surveys,
we toured the factories with specialists, who pointed out problems and gave
us advice from various points of view.
At the debriefing session following diagnosis, the specialists showed us
specific energy conservation measures based on the diagnostic results. These

Field survey

measures have helped to clarify the energy-saving initiatives we need to take.
We will continue to implement energy conservation initiatives at our factories
in Japan and other countries in a well-planned manner. Through these efforts,
we will make our factories environmentally friendly.

Environmental risk management

Observing Environmental Laws and Ordinances

We conduct a diverse range of measures in ourenvironmental risk management activities, aiming to ensurethat the potential risks involved in our business activities,
which will or may affect the environment, are detected
before they become too serious.

As a part of our environmental risk management, we checkthe status of compliance of our domestic and overseas
business activities with laws and regulations, focusing on
those related to environmental pollution standards.

Implementation of the FY2014 Environmental Risk Management Program

We collect information about the establishment and revisionsof environmental laws and ordinances related to our businessactivities. This information is collected through various related
sources, such as official gazettes, and sent to groupcompanies in Japan and other countries on a timely basis.
We reflect the information in the Checklist on Compliancewith Environmental Laws and Ordinances, the purpose ofwhich is to check the status of compliance with environmental
laws and ordinances, and conduct the check once a year ateach facility. The results of the check are integrated with theenvironmental risk management program, based on which we
perform risk management.

We implement an environmental risk management program
every year at our production facilities in Japan and othercountries.
In the programs implemented in FY2013 and thepreceding years, we applied a unified assessment method
throughout the entire CMK Group. In the sixth program in
FY2014, we promoted the improvement of efficiency andswitched to methods integrated with the ISO 14001-certified
systems of individual facilities.
In FY2014, we assessed a total of 119 domestic andoverseas environmental risks, and judged that preventive
measures were needed to address 18 of these. For theseenvironmental risks, we suggested plans and implemented
measures, beginning with the most feasible ones.

Checking the status of compliance with the Clean Production Standard of China
Every year we study the business activities of our production
facilities in China (CMKC (DONG GUAN) LTD. and CMK
ELECTRONICS (WUXI) CO., LTD.) to check their management andstatus of compliance with laws and ordinances in light of the Clean
Production Standard※.
We check the status of production, the amount of resources andenergy consumed, and the amounts of pollutants generated ateach facility, and then see whether they are at the levels
consistent with the Clean Production Standard. We also identify
current problems, and take initiatives to solve them in the future.

Self-directed soil and groundwater surveys have been carriedout at all members of the CMK Group in Japan since 1998, aspart of the Groupʼs environmental risk anagement. These havebeen based on records of chemical substances used.
The survey revealed that the amount of chlorinated organic
solvent in the soil and groundwater exceeded standard values
in several areas around the manufacturing site, but purification
measures were immediately implemented at the site, and no
impact was observed outside the land lot. We plan to continue
regular observation and management.
The phase-out of chlorinated organic solvents launched in1998 was successfully completed in March 2004 at all
domestic CMK Group companies.

Management of Environmentally Hazardous Substances through the Supply Chain
Various chemical substances are used in the creation of printed wiringboards. These include substances which destroy the global environment
and those which cause damage to our health.
Our company defines chemical substances that affect the environmentor human body as environmentally hazardous substances (EHS). We
prohibit or restrict the use of EHSs in our products under our Standards
for Controlling Environmentally Hazardous Substances, and also comply
with international laws and regulations such as the RoHS Directive andthe REACH Regulation. The Standards for Controlling Environmentally
Hazardous Substances cover chemical substances that are deemed
likely to be hazardous in light of information obtained from externalsources, such as other companies in the industry and our customers.
We only purchase raw materials and materials for use in the
production process that conform to the Standards for Controlling
Environmentally Hazardous Substances. We strictly monitor and control
our purchases as part of our activities to manage EHSs through the
supply chain.

products produced at plants around the world. In order toestablish this system, all the offices of our group haveobtained ISO9001 certification, which is an international
standard for quality management systems. Likewise, offices
operating in the automotive industry have obtained
ISO/TS16949 certification. The in-house quality assurance
system we have built is based on these international
standards, and helps to improve our quality on a global level.

Our company has also established a material accreditation
scheme designed to help us provide customers with reliable
products. In this scheme, we conduct evaluation tests on
the materials used in printed wiring boards (such as thebase materials and solder resists). Materials that pass thetests are registered as certified materials, which enable them
to be used in our products.
As part of the accreditation process, suppliers are
required to submit a guarantee of non-use of EHS
materials and other documentation, including SDS.
Overseas, applications are submitted for new products
and materials in accordance with the UL safety standards toensure products comply with the standard.
CMK will supply safer, more reliable printed wiring boards
manufactured from safe and responsible materials for use inan ever widening range of increasingly reliable andhigher-density electron.

Working with customer ー Efforts to Collect Information about Customer Needs ー
To understand customer needs, we create opportunities to identify issues, including customer opinions and requests, throughactivities such as customer satisfaction (CS) surveys and active participation in exhibitions held by external organizations. We
constantly work to make improvements, aiming to be a company that always leaves customers satisfied.

Identifying Customer Needs through CS Surveys①Conducting CS surveys

INPUT

The CS survey assesses the general aspects of ourcompany̶which include our products, services related tooperating activities, quality, delivery dates, andtechnologies̶and performs a comprehensive evaluation. In
FY2014, we conducted the survey to directly collectvaluable opinions from our customers all over the world,such as identifying what products and services they require.

②Collection of responses

CS surveys

CMK③Analysis of responses and activities for making improvements④Reporting results of activities⑤Verifying the effects of improvement activities in the CS survey conducted during the next fiscal year

We received responses from 111 companies. We werehighly pleased to see the evaluation results reveal that the
majority of them were satisfied with our products and services.
However, there were some customers who voiced harsh criticism.
We believe it is especially important to listen and respond tothese harsh and stern comments and demands. Therefore, we
promote activities intent on making improvements to fulfill the
expectations of these customers.

OUTPUT④Reporting results of activities
We provide reports on the progress of improvement activities tocustomers via the sales representatives assigned to them. We
believe it is important to share information with customers about theinternal measures we need to take to address the problems they
pointed out and make improvements that will leave them satisfied.

③Analysis of responses and activities for making improvements
We analyzed the results of the CS survey conducted in
FY2014, and the information from this analysis shared by
the top management and related departments. By sharing
this information, we aim to solve problems in a well-planned
manner.
In the process of making improvements, we hold regularmeetings to check progress as well as share information
about countermeasures to address issues via the internalbulletin board. We carry out a wide range of initiatives toaddress the issues, including those that produce immediate
results and ones that take time and steady efforts. We willcontinue these activities so that customers can benefit fromthe results of our initiatives.

⑤Verifying the effects of improvement activities in the
CS survey conducted during the next fiscal year
We verify the effects of our improvement activities through the CS
survey conducted during the next fiscal year. We judge theeffectiveness of our improvement measures by analyzing the results ofthe survey to determine whether we have successfully addressed theissues pointed out in the previous yearʼs survey and whether our
initiatives have led to improved customer satisfaction. We carefully
examine whether there were any differences between the level of
improvement we aimed for and the level required by customers, andcontinue improvement activities if the results are insufficient.

Participation in Exhibitions Held by Other Organizations
We exhibit our products at exhibitions held by other organizations. These events provide
us with the best opportunities to gather information about customer needs.
In addition to our mainstay products of automotive circuit boards, we have developed
high-density, highly-functional printed wiring boards that respond to needs for small, thin,bendable components used in wearable equipment and other products for which efforts
are being made to achieve the smallest possible dimensions and the lightest possible
weight. We exhibited our products at NEPCON Japan 2015 and JPCA Show 2015.
Both events attracted more visitors than the previous year, and we received many
requests and new orders from people who came to the venues. The events have helped
increase the number of orders.

A System Permitting Employees to Take
Annual Paid Leave by Units of Half Days

The concept of diversity represents a willingness toaccept people regardless of gender, age, nationality,
disability, differences in attributes and culture, anddifferences in values, while at the same time seeking tounderstand, recognize, and make effective use of thesedifferences.
The following comments are from a non-Japaneseemployee who was hired as a sales representative in
December 2014 and now works in Japan.

（Paid Half-Holiday System）
In April 2014, we introduced a paid half-holiday systemthat allows employees to take annual paid leave by units ofhalf days. The purpose of this system is to improve the
comfort of employees and enable them to achieve work-lifebalance. The number of paid half-leave taken in FY2014
was 1,407 (taken by a total of 1,146 employees).

Compensatory Leave System

My name is Patitta. I joined CMK Corporation in December 2014.
I currently handle order fulfillment, manage deliveries, adjust
delivery dates together with factories, and perform other duties at East

To prevent overwork and help employees stay healthy, we
introduced a system in April 2014 which permits employees
to take a compensatory leave when they have worked on a
day off or when the number of overtime hours worked hasreached that of regular working hours. The number of
instances in which compensatory leave was taken in
FY2014 was nine (taken by eight employees).

intersection on Route 129. There is a constant stream oftraffic flowing by the factory day and night.
Unlike roads in other countries, roads in Japan have
reputation for being clean because there is no trashlittered on the ground. However, this particularintersection has a considerable amount of empty cans,plastic bottles, and plastic bags thrown away by drivers
that lie scattered along the road.
In addition, a lot of weeds grow in summer, making it
difficult for people walking on the sidewalk. In response,
employees at the factory clean up the green areas andpull the weeds on the sidewalk once a month as a part oftheir cleaning and beautification activities.
The company was commended by the Technopile TANA
