of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), lowering
industrial waste output per unit, and achieving zero
emissions, as we aim for less than 0.5% landﬁll.
Two key themes upon which we have taken actionin protecting biodiversity that are closely tied to ourbusiness activities are: examining the procurementof raw materials, and creating green areas on thepremises of our business sites. Paper is one of
the raw materials that is essential to the business
continuity of the DNP Group. We have set guidelines
on the procurement of printing paper and converting
paper aimed at effective utilization of sustainable
forest resources. Furthermore, we have conducted
seminars to explain these guidelines to companies
from whom we procure paper. Another initiative has
been the creation of green areas as natural habitats,and we have been promoting employee participationin the Ichigaya district (Tokyo), at our Okayama Plant,
at DNP Chubu (Nagoya), and at other locations.
In December we revised our development
guidelines with regard to environmentally conscious
products and services to speed up their development.

Message from the Director
in Charge of the Environment

Going Beyond
Society’s Expectations

Chairman of the DNP Group
Environmental Committee

Satoru Inoue

The DNP Group has been working to reduce
environmental impact in all processes from theprocurement and use of raw materials to their disposal,
promoting sustainable business practices to protect
and support the global environment.
We place priority on taking action to go beyondsociety's expectations, and we have been producing areport since 1998 speciﬁc to our environmental action.
This report outlines our activities and their results
so that stakeholders can get a clear picture. The
report is edited according to the Environmental
Reporting Guidelines (2012 edition) issued by Japan's
Ministry of the Environment and aims to be exhaustiveand provide continuity. The information in this report
was subjected to a third-party review conducted by
the Ernst & Young Sustainability Co., Ltd., assuringthat important environmental data was accurately
measured and calculated, and fully disclosed.

Efforts in Fiscal 2012
Environmental targets for ﬁscal 2012 and a record ofactions taken are presented in this report.
The DNP Group has targets for reducing the total
amount of greenhouse gas emissions, and this year
we also implemented energy conservation subcommittees to promote energy-saving measuresthroughout the group. Starting in ﬁscal 2013, we will
expand such targets for reduction to our overseas
operations. We also began applying the “Scope 3”
standards to calculate greenhouse gas emissions
across our entire supply chain. Figures have been
calculated for ﬁscal years 2010 to 2012. By so doing,
we discovered areas in which there were excellent
opportunities to reduce emissions, and we thenimplemented effective reduction measures.
Steady progress is being made toward achieving
our target values in reducing atmospheric emissions

Future efforts
The DNP Group will continue to implement sustainablebusiness practices to steadily expand our measures
to reduce environmental impact worldwide. It is also
critical that our entire supply chain has the samelevel of awareness in their activities as we do inours. Speciﬁcally, in our Scope 3 estimates, we havelooked closely at emissions related to purchased
goods and services, which account for over 60% of
our overall business, and will be pursuing reductions
in cooperation with our suppliers. For the future weplan to deepen communication with our diverse
stakeholders and take action as we build deeper trust.
Through these activities we aim to be consistently
worthy of a high degree of trust from society.

DNP Group Vision for the 21st Century
The DNP Group Vision for the 21st Century consistsof our Management Concept, Business Vision, andGuiding Principles, and is an expression of our basic
philosophy of co-existence and co-development withsociety and the environment.
Our Management Concept is the DNP Group’s social
mission, and is an expression of the most importantvalue held by all DNP employees. Our Business
Vision and Guiding Principles provide direction for thebusiness and employee conduct that will enable us tomake our Management Concept a reality.
The DNP Group Code of Conduct establishes
the behavioral standards for all activities undertaken
in realizing our Management Concept. The Codeis intended to ensure that all employees conduct
themselves with integrity at all times.

Management Concept

The DNP Group will contribute to the emergently evolving society of the 21st century.
Business Vision

P&I Solutions
We will identify and solve the problems and issues that consumers and corporate clients face within theemergently evolving society by fusing our Printing Technologies (PT) and Information Technologies (IT).
Guiding Principles
1. Engage in TAIWA (Japanese for “dialogue”) with all persons concerned
Through TAIWA, we can identify the hopes and dreams of consumers and corporate clients, as well as uncover our own
problems of which we had been unaware. By pursuing TAIWA on the identiﬁed problems and issues with various membersof the company as well as people outside the company, we will be able to ﬁnd solutions to these problems and issues.

2. Work with an independent and collaborative mind-set in order to solve problems
Acquiring specialized knowledge and skills, thereby becoming independent, allows us to sharpen our sensitivity for perceiving
the problems and issues that surface within TAIWA. We should collaborate on these issues with other members while
recognizing one another’s sense of values and roles in order to propose solutions that will meet the satisfaction of our clients.

Management
Concept

3. Challenge courageously, even in the face of difﬁcult issues
As professionals, the expectation and conﬁdence entrusted upon us are proportionate to the level of difﬁculty of a problem
or issue. Therefore, we should approach problems and issues with a spirit of challenge and courage, which will enhance our
professional skills all the more.

DNP Group Environmental Policy

Rapid economic progress and a rising global
population are bound to continue through the twentyﬁrst century, so we must do what we can to protect
biodiversity and prevent further degradation of theenvironment. Different groups and organizations work
to protect the global environment in different ways; we
all must do what we can to pass on a healthy planet tofuture generations.
We follow the DNP Group Code of Conduct, which
guides us toward environmental conservation andthe realization of a sustainable society. The DNPGroup Environmental Policy links this code to speciﬁc
activities that take the environment into consideration
within the scope of our various business activities.

The DNP Group seeks to minimize the impact our businesses have on the environment andsupports biodiversity, ﬁrst by complying with environmental laws and regulations and also byrecognizing the relationship that each of our business activities has with the environment. In thisway we hope to create a sustainable society in a world with limited resources.
1. Each member of the DNP Group establishes and periodically reviews its own environmental policies andenvironmental targets, and puts into effect continuous improvement of its activities and the prevention ofenvironmental pollution.
2. For all construction projects, and before designing and commissioning new facilities, we carry out a full anddetailed environmental survey to assess the impact that the project will have on the environment to makeproper efforts to protect the environment. We shall also make aggressive efforts to use renewable energy.
3. When carrying out research, development, design, manufacture, and sales of a new product, we consider
the impact of the product on the environment throughout its lifecycle, including materials procurement,
production, distribution, use, and disposal, especially in terms of energy conservation, resource
conservation, and reducing the use of harmful chemicals.
4. When purchasing raw materials, stationery, and equipment, we choose items that are ecologically-friendly
and easy to recycle.
5. In manufacturing a product, we aim to comply with environmental laws and regulations, and moreover we
set up more stringent standards to reduce the emissions of pollutants into the air, watershed, and soil, andto prevent unpleasant odors, noise, vibration, and land subsidence. We are constantly improving facilities,
techniques, and manufacturing processes to promote the targets of energy conservation, resource
conservation, and the reduction of industrial waste.
6. When generating waste from business operations, we strive to achieve zero emissions by separating andrecycling waste as much as possible.

The Foundation of Our
Environmental Activities

The DNP Group publishes regular Eco-Reports which
cover trends in environmental regulations, and also
conducts Eco-Audits to ensure full compliance withall laws and regulations. Our compliance efforts also
include the establishment of and strict adherence toour own voluntary standards (air, water, noise, vibration,odor) and voluntary guidelines (chemical substancemanagement, soil contamination measures), which
exceed what is legally required.
The DNP Group handles many chemicals in its
production processes. We have drawn up a Chemical
Substance Management Guide for chemical substancehandling, and have set up levees and emergency shutoff systems to prevent liquids from overﬂowing andinstalled two-tier holding tanks for the prevention of
accidents at plants handling chemicals. We also stock
up on materials that can be used during emergencies
and hold emergency response drills to ensure theproper response in the event of an occurrence.
Soil and Groundwater Contamination
The DNP Group conducts soil inspections based
upon our voluntary management guidelines. Whensoil contamination is discovered, we ﬁle a report withthe ofﬁce of the governor or mayor in charge of that
prefecture or city, and upon receiving instructions
from the local authorities, we implement appropriate
measures for removing the contamination.
In addition to continuing the puriﬁcation of pumpwater at one site in FY2012, we also inspected tanks,
waste storage sites, and areas for storing equipmentthat handles waste PCBs to prevent soil contamination.

Environmental Risk Management
PCB Storage
PCBs are currently in storage at 19 sites, with 150
condensers and 18 transformers; a total of 168 units.
The PCBs are contained in electrical equipment
formerly used in substation facilities at our plants.
Fluorescent lighting ballasts containing PCBs havealso been placed in storage. Storage consists ofspecial containers in designated storage rooms ateach site, managed under the strictest conditionsin accordance with applicable regulations to ensure
there is no leakage or loss. The PCBs in storage will
gradually be disposed of as required by law according
to the disposal plans for each region.
Status of Legal Compliance
While we make all efforts to comply with environmental
laws and regulations, over the past three years wehave experienced three incidents in which air or water
quality standards were exceeded. There are no ongoinglegal disputes involving environmental issues. We
have unfortunately had some complaints from areas
neighboring our plants concerning noise and odors.
Whenever we receive such complaints, we respondpromptly by launching a thorough investigation into
the cause of the problem and by working to make
improvements and prevent recurrence.

Occurrences(causes, improvements, and recurrence
prevention measures)
December 3, 2010
Tokyo Plant, DNP Fine Chemicals
Storage of disassembled pieces of concrete → Leakage
from industrial site of rainwater exceeding regulatory pH
standards was discovered through voluntary checking.
The cause was the on-site storage of broken pieces of concrete.
Under the guidance of the authorities the concrete was removed, andongoing monitoring has conﬁrmed that levels are within the legal limits.

September 8, 2011
Chikugo Plant, DNP Nishi Nippon*
Governmental water analysis → pH and BOD measurement
values exceeded regulatory standards, so an improvement
report was submitted.
The cause of excessive pH levels was a broken CO2 vaporizer inthe boiler drain water neutralizing apparatus. To prevent recurrence,
inspections will be improved. The cause of excessive BOD was theuse of too much boiler corrosion inhibitor. To prevent recurrence, thetype of corrosion inhibitor was changed and the amount for injection
was revised downward.

March 4, 2013
Kyoto Plant, DNP Technopack
Governmental measurement of concentration ofvolatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaust air →Values for VOC concentration exceeded the legal limit, so an
improvement report was submitted.
The cause of the problem was found in the equipment that collects
VOCs. One of the four pipes carrying activated carbon for adsorbing
VOCs was not functioning properly. To prevent a recurrence,
inspections will be improved to check that the activated carbon is
ﬂowing properly.
* At the time of occurrence, the company name was Chikugo Plant, DNP
Technopack.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction

Achieving a Low-Carbon Society

The DNP Group’s overall greenhouse gas emissions
in FY2012 totaled 999,000 tons. This breaks down
as follows: energy source CO2 emissions, 975,400
tons; non-energy source CO2 emissions, 21,800 tons;
methane converted to CO2 emissions equivalent, 40
tons; N2O emissions, 510 tons. There were 60 tonsof emissions of perﬂuorocarbons (PFCs) and 1,260
tons of sulfur hexaﬂuoride (SF6), but no emissions ofhydroﬂuorocarbons (HFCs).
In FY2012, our main efforts to reduce CO2 emissions
included conserving energy used for air conditioning
and power, improving production line operations,
efﬁcient cogeneration, etc.
In FY2013, we will continue our aggressive efforts tolimit greenhouse gas emissions by continuing with theswitch to low CO2-emission fuels, introducing energysaving equipment such as inverters and efﬁcient air
conditioners, and improving production efﬁciency.

Greenhouse gas emissions volume The calculation of greenhouse gas emissions at domestic production sites due to electricity use, fuel use/combustion,
burning of waste, and atmospheric emissions of HFCs/PFCs/SF6 is performed according to type of energy. For city gas, the computation is performed according
to the quantity of heat in Appendix 4, “List of City Gas Suppliers and Supplied Quantity of Heat” (revised April 15, 2013) of the Requirements for Filling Out Periodic
Reports Based on Articles 15 and 19-2 of the Act on the Rational Use of Energy.
For other types of energy, the calculation is performed using the caloriﬁc value and emission factors contained in the revised Act on Promotion Global Warning
Countermeasures (an enforcement ordinance published March 31, 2010 by the Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry).
Additionally, for electricity emission factors, the FEPC’s 2005 point-of-use CO2 emissions unit value of 0.423 (kg-CO2/kWh) was used uniformly.
Also, the Guideline for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculation for Businesses (Draft Ver. 1.6) (July 28, 2005, partially revised; Ministry of the Environment) is used
for recalculating the base year greenhouse gas emissions due to the change in our aggregate accounting range resulting from M&As. The 2005 (base year) ﬁgurein the graph above is the sum of 2005 domestic production site emissions and 2009 non-production site emissions.

Energy Loss Diagnostic TeamWe have begun energy-saving activities through continuous improvement in
manufacturing processes, in addition to actions taken to stop energy losses suchas repairing air leaks. We are focusing on plants with high energy consumption,such as plants involved with printing and electronics.
At our printing plants, we looked at printing machine driers, which consume
high volumes of power. We were able to reduce fuel gas consumption by
optimizing both the quantity of airﬂow and the temperature at which drying anddeodorization equipment functioned.
At the clean rooms in our electronics plants, where a high level of air cleanlinessis required, we managed the cleanness of the environment by quantifying volumesof dust collection, room pressure levels, and other factors. We then reduced
excessive air conditioning to reduce energy consumption. In FY2013, when using
gravure printing, we are planning to promote use of waste heat generated bysolvent combustion equipment.

produced 33,316 kWh and 34,128 kWh, respectively.
Furthermore a 10 kW solar system was installed to the
Ichigayatamachi Building.
We also currently purchase 1.15 million kWh of
Renewable Energy Certiﬁcates annually to cover partof the power consumption used by manufacturing
processes within the group (for printing, bookbinding
and processing), the showroom of the Ichigayatamachi
Building and other facilities.

DNP Technopack’s Sayama Plant No.1 prints on food packaging and medicine bags, and performs other functions.
A large amount of ventilation is required at the plant to maintain the work environment. However, when you ventilate
this air, into which a lot of energy has been invested to maintain it at the right temperature and humidity, that energy isreleased outside, generating loss.
The ion adsorption-type total heat exchanger introduced at the plantis the ﬁrst one in use at DNP. It collects only the energy from the exhaust air pushed outside.
The rest of the air simply passes through and is released outside, so it is possible to maintainthe indoor environment optimally while reducing energy consumption signiﬁcantly. Between
the time the system went into operation in November 2012 and March 2013, steam use
for heating and humidifying was reduced by 1,200 tons in winter, and the estimate for CO2
reductions is about 300 tons on an annualized basis.
We aim to ﬁnd more ways to save energy in the future as well, and take more aggressive
measures against global warming.

Global Warming Measures for Ofﬁces and Homes
The DNP Group has been engaged in efforts to reduce
CO2 emissions both for ofﬁces and homes since 2005.
In FY2012, we set a target for a 20% year-on-year
reduction in power consumed at our ofﬁces throughout
Japan. Speciﬁc actions that we implemented and willcontinue implementing, beyond regular energy-saving
measures, include completely revising the numberof lighting ﬁxtures and level of illumination needed,
extending the “cool biz” dress code period, reviewing
how air conditioning is run, and expanding the use of
LED lighting.

Calculation of GHG Emissions
across Entire Supply Chain (Scope 3)

Achieving a Low-Carbon Society

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are one cause of
global warming. The DNP Group is taking active steps
to reduce GHG emissions on a global scale.
In developing environmentally conscious products,
we consider it vital to understand GHG emissions in
the overall lifecycle of a product. We have therefore
calculated GHG emissions across our entire supply chain(for FY2010 to FY2012) (Scope 3), not only at the stageof manufacturing but also including indirect emissions.
The Scope 3 calculations enabled the DNP Group to
limit GHG emissions across our entire supply chain in2012 (excluding Scope 1 and Scope 2) to approximately
5.13 million tons. Of this amount, “Purchased goods& services” (Category 1) accounted for the largest
portion at over 60%, followed by “End of life treatmentof sold products” (Category 12) and “Downstream
transportation & distribution” (Category 9), each of which
accounted for approximately 13%. The three categories
together accounted for 90% of the total. We will continue
to reduce emissions across our entire supply chain in the
future based on these results.
Calculation Method
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Ministry of theEnvironment (MOE) formulated and released the “General Guidelines on
Supply Chain GHG Emission Accounting, Ver 1.0”*1 the standards of which
our calculations*2 are based upon. (Calculated using the 11 categories
concerning DNP of the 15 Scope 3 categories. Three categories were notapplicable, so were excluded from the calculation.)*1 These guidelines were drawn up for the purpose of providing calculation
methods, etc., that are easy to use for Japanese companies based on the
Scope 3 Standard, an international standard from the GHG Protocol.

Tokyo Plant, DNP Lifestyle Materials
Major Reduction in Emissions per Unit by Turning
Waste into Valuable Materials
Yosuke Hidai, General Affairs Dept., DNP Lifestyle Materials
Based on DNP’s original electron beam (EB) technology,
DNP Lifestyle Materials’ Tokyo Plant produces many kinds oflifestyle products such as interior ﬁnishing materials for homes
and automobiles to support comfortable living.
In FY2012 we made a strong push to reduce emissions
per unit by reducing waste, bringing together production ﬂoor
workers and ofﬁce staff. Speciﬁc actions included improving
production efﬁciency through the Production 21 Activities andgetting every employee in waste-generating divisions to sort
items, as well as re-evaluating our business partners to be able
to turn waste into valuable materials.
These actions resulted in a 54% reduction in waste
emissions per unit from FY2011. By turning waste into
valuable materials, the percentage of the total volume ofundesired materials produced which
was accounted for by valuable materials
was 53% (a 39% improvement over
FY2011).
We will continue to analyze waste,
break it down further, and take action
at plants as a whole to reduce waste
loss and expand the number of valuable
materials.

Use of Recycled Resources

Building a Recycling Society

Ofﬁce Paper Recycling
The business of the DNP Group is closely connectedto paper, and we have been separating and collecting
paper at our ofﬁces for some time. In FY2012, waste
paper was collected at 55 of 178 eligible ofﬁces,
primarily large-scale ofﬁces, for a recycling rate of
75.6%, exceeding our target of 70%.
Use of Recycled Water
We are working hard to conserve water resources
by promoting a closed-loop system in which water isrecycled and reused instead of released. In this way wehave been able to cut down on the high volume of waterrequired for cleaning our products, air conditioning,and heating and cooling production machinery. We
used 455.5 million cubic meters of recycled water in
FY2012, about 30.8 times the amount of pipe water
we used.
We are also making effective use of rainwater in ourofﬁce buildings and other sites. In FY2012 we used
8,490 cubic meters of rainwater for toilet ﬂushing andthe watering of grounds.

Environmentally Conscious Materials
Procurement and Products

Building a Recycling Society

Promoting Green Purchasing
We carry out “green purchasing” to reduce theenvironmental impact of DNP’s product manufacturing
processes. Green purchasing involves selecting andbuying the most environmentally conscious materials,
parts, equipment, ofﬁce supplies, and other items—
from the upstream production processes forward. We
also give priority in materials and equipment purchasing
to suppliers that take an aggressive approach toenvironmental conservation.
Management of Chemical Substances in Product Materials
Based on laws and regulations such the RoHS Directive
and REACH Regulations adopted by the EU, as well
as client demand, we monitor and manage chemicals
contained in the products we manufacture.
This year, to improve our apprehension andmanagement of chemicals contained in raw materials,
Purchasing rate for environmentally conscious products

we revised the DNP Group Management Criteria for
Chemicals to use common formats such as MSDSplus
and AIS developed by JAMP for transmitting chemical
information.
We will continue to work with suppliers and clientsto strengthen management of chemicals in products.
RoHS Directive
Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances incomputers, communications equipment, home electronics, and other electricaland electronic equipment.

REACH Regulations
Regulations requiring the registration of chemical substances made and usedin the EU.

Development and Sales of Environmentally
Conscious Products and Services
The DNP Group created the Environmentally Conscious
Products and Services Development Guidelines to directfrom the design stage the creation of environmentallyconscious products, so as to reduce the environmental
impact of our products throughout their lifecycle.
Our sales of environmentally conscious products
reached ¥355.7 billion in FY2012.
We also revised our development policy andredeﬁned products and services (see p. 30) to expand
development and sales. These will be applied in
FY2013.

JAMP (Joint Article Management Promotion-consortium)This organization promotes cross-industry action aimed at creating andspreading the use of a framework for properly managing information on
chemicals contained in products and for easily disclosing and transmitting that
information through supply chains.

Lifecycle
This covers every aspect of the lifetime of a product or service, from the point
where the material resources that go into its manufacture are extracted fromthe Earth through production, distribution, use, and ﬁnally to when any waste isreturned to the Earth.

Use of LCA and Eﬀorts to Reduce
Our Carbon Footprint

Building a Recycling Society

Assessment and Development of Products Using LCA
The DNP group has introduced Lifecycle Assessment(LCA) for evaluating the environmental impact of eachproduct over its entire lifecycle with the objective of
making improvements; LCA methodology has also been
incorporated into new product development.
Recently, we have been conducting evaluation
studies on biodiversity and the mitigation of global
warming based on detailed data on environmental
impact obtained through LCA methods.
Ecoﬁt® UD Passbook Plus Developed
This new passbook, developed by DNP, is known as
the Ecoﬁt® UD Passbook Plus. It is a user-friendly, ecofriendly passbook that complies with Color Universal
Design (CUD) and carbon offset programs.
The Ecoﬁt Passbook uses FSC® (Forest StewardshipCouncil)-certiﬁed paper and plant oil-based ink. Being
carbon offset compliant, the product helps in theeffort to reduce greenhouse gases. To promote suchenvironmental action to consumers, it is possible todisplay various certiﬁcation marks on the passbook itself.
In addition to the paper and ink, a non-PVC lowemission magnetic stripe is used to minimize toxic gases
should the magnetic stripe be incinerated.
The design also helps to improve visibility and ease ofuse from a Universal Design standpoint. By being CUD
compliant, it is particularly considerateof those who havecolor vision deﬁciencies.

Carbon Footprint
DNP began participating in the Japanese government’s“carbon footprint of product” (CFP) pilot project in
FY2008. We established product category rules (PCRs)for publications and commercially printed matter as wellas containers and packaging, for example, and reviewed
veriﬁcation schemes.
The carbon footprint system got a new start in April
2012 under the auspices of the Japan Environmental
Management Association for Industry (JEMAI) as the
Carbon Footprint Communication Program.
We began full-ﬂedged implementation in July 2012, andwe continue to display the CFP mark primarily on printed
matter for advertising and publicity released by DNP.
New Carbon Footprint Efforts
DNP participates in a pilot project for making products thatare compliant with carbon offset programs.
Based on a product's carbon footprint, this project aims
to verify the procedures and rules needed for certifying that
products are 100% carbon offset by calculating emissions
and using offset credits.
We implemented this system with the trading card
game "My Earth," a fun game that helps children learn theimportance of the global environment. We printed 1,000 setsof the ﬁrst lot of two starter
packages—"Land and Rivers"and "Oceans and Rivers"—
using CFP-certiﬁed carbon
offsets. These sets weredisplayed at the DNP booth at
the Eco-Products 2012 tradeshow.
We will continue to develop
such environmentally conscious
products in the future.

Assessment of Water Consumption

The DNP Group has been focusing on assessing theconsumption of water resources. Our LCA efforts wererecognized in 2012 at the 9th LCA Society of Japan
Awards, with an honorable mention for the LCA of
Biomatech PET, made using sugar cane. The award
recognized DNP's effort in developing Biomatech PET
to calculate not only CO2 but also volume of water
consumed.
In the future as well, we will assess environmental
impact not only in a single area, but comprehensively,
identifying the key aspects of the environment that a
product affects.
Note: This project is described in Newsletter No. 62 (in Japanese),
downloadable from the LCA Society of Japan site. http://lca-forum.org/

Color Universal Design
An approach to designing products, facilities, buildings, environments, services,
and information in a way that is easy to use even by people with color visiondeﬁciencies.

Carbon Offsets
When releasing CO2 and other greenhouse gases is inevitable in our daily lives or
economic activities, we must ﬁrst try to minimize the output. When emissions areunavoidable, carbon offsets present a way to compensate by investing in action
to reduce greenhouse gases using a system of output matching.

Carbon Footprint
A carbon footprint represents the total emissions of greenhouse gases of a
product or service over its entire lifecycle converted to CO2 by volume. Productlabeling is a method by which a business can visually demonstrate to consumers
the measures it is taking to ﬁght global warming, who can then make productor service choices which take CO2 emissions volume into consideration. LCA
methodology is used to calculate the carbon footprint.

Realizing a Society
in Symbiosis with Nature

At DNP we understand that we gain many beneﬁts
from ecosystems that are supported by creaturesof all kinds, and we believe that working to coexist
harmoniously and protect the environment is essential
for the company to maintain sustainable growth. Basedon this way of thinking, we work to protect biodiversity
through our business activities.
In every process, including but not limited to productdevelopment, material procurement, manufacturing,sales, transport, product use, and disposal of waste,
we have examined the relationship to biodiversity. We
established two key themes, both of which affect ourreliance on ecosystem services and seriously impact
biodiversity—the improvement of material procurement
practices and the creation of green spaces at ourbusiness sites.
Major activities based on key themes
It is important that our employees are aware of thegoals and progress of our biodiversity protection
initiatives, and that they work to help achieve thosegoals.
In material procurement, we work to protect
biodiversity and have established the Guidelines for
Procurement of Paper for Printing and Converting,based on our CSR Procurement Criteria, that coverselection standards for suppliers and paper.
Employees conduct ﬁeld surveys that will be usedin the creation of green spaces at our business sites
so as to protect animals and their ecosystems in thesurrounding area.

Biodiversity Eﬀorts

DNP Group Biodiversity Declaration
We, the DNP Group, based on our appreciation for nature’s bounty and recognition that out
business activities impact the environment, will help build a sustainable society by fulfilling oursociety responsibility to protect biodiversity.
1. We view protection of biodiversity as an essential issue to be considered in all of our business activities,
including business planning, research, project planning, product development, design, production, andsales.
2. We will evaluate, understand, and analyze how we affect biodiversity through such actions as using energy
and water resources, procuring raw materials, and disposing of chemical substances.
3. In order to broaden our biodiversity protection activities, we will share our understanding of related issues
with customers, supplies, local community members and other stakeholders, and promote cooperative
action with them.
4. We will enhance understanding and awareness of biodiversity-related issues among all of our employees,
and strive to make them more conscious of the importance of protecting biodiversity.

Dr. Naoki Adachi
CEO, Response Ability, Inc.

Forests are more than just sources of material for paper and lumber; they are home to ecosystems that beneﬁt us
in untold ways. It is little wonder that the movement for sustainable use of forests is gaining traction worldwide.
Unfortunately, compared to other developed nations, Japan has been slow to adopt the use of paper certiﬁed by the
Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) and other organizations.
In contrast, I think DNP’s implementation of its Guidelines for Procurement of Paper for Printing and Convertingis a highly signiﬁcant move, and will have a positive effect not only on suppliers but also for a large number ofcustomers. Although these guidelines still need to go deeper in some areas, I have high hopes that DNP will lead theway as it brings its business partners on board at all stages of the supply chain.
Another major international trend is the expansion of greenhouse gas accounting to include calculation of Scope 3 areas, and I think DNP
deserves praise for its swift adoption of those methods. I believe that similar philosophies will be applied to water and forest resources in future,and it is pleasing to see that DNP has already begun projects to study and build environments for a diverse range of wildlife in and around its
premises. By expanding these activities upstream it should be possible to extend such environmental considerations throughout DNP’s entire
supply chain. I look forward to seeing such initiatives pick up speed and develop as DNP moves onward.

Setting new transaction criteria related to thesustainable use of forestry resources
Paper is a raw material essential to the business
continuity of the DNP Group. Up to this point wehave actively proposed to our customers that they
use thinned wood products or FSC-certiﬁed paper tocontribute to the sustainable management of forest
resources.
In FY2012, we established the Guidelines for
Procurement of Paper for Printing and Convertingwhich stipulate criteria related to transactions
with companies from which we procure paper. In
November we conducted a seminar to explain theseguidelines to our paper suppliers, and we are carryingout procurement following these guidelines both
domestically and internationally.
Together with our CSR Procurement Criteria
and green purchasing policy, our implementationof responsible paper procurement by working with
suppliers helps to protect biodiversity.
Biomatech PET—made from sugar cane-derived material
Biomatech PET is a form of packaging made fromplant-based material.
The LCA methods that DNP employs are recognized
for their sustainability and positive effect on protecting
biodiversity. We are making proposals that promote
the active use of such environmental data, and in
FY2012, four companies adopted these methods,
including Sumitomo Chemical Garden Products andKikkoman Corporation.

Selection

4. Guidelines
for Paper
Selection

The DNP Group will give precedence to companies that fulfill the following criteria when selecting
suppliers from which to procure paper.
• Companies that have a defined policy regarding procurement of wood raw materials• Companies that have established and are implementing a management system for verifying the legal
compliance of wood raw materials• Companies that are able to provide information regarding their pulp suppliers (information for verifying
criteria under Guidelines for Paper Selection)
Product selection in the procurement of paper will be based on the following guidelines.
1) Give priority to forest-certified paper2) Strive to select paper made from a higher ratio of wood raw materials obtained in a way that fosters
sustainability of forest resources• Paper made of wood harvested according to sustainable forest management methods• Paper with a higher deinked pulp content• Paper made from scraps from sawn logs, low-grade wood, and/or forest thinning wood
• Paper that contains non-wood pulp
3) Do not use paper made from wood raw materials that cannot be verified as legally compliant. (Weverify that paper does not contain illegally harvested wood.)(Excerpted)

Biomatech PET products now include Biomatech
A-PET for sheet forming, Biomatech IB-PET with barrier
properties, and Biomatech VM-PET, for application ina broader range of ﬁelds. We aim to promote morewidespread use of the Biomatech series into the future.

The PET ﬁlm itself has beencertiﬁed to use the Biomass
Mark, so packaging materials
that use Biomatech PET ﬁlm
are able to display this mark.

For Greater Life Diversity: Creation of GreenSpaces at Business Sites

Realizing a Society
in Symbiosis with Nature

Creating Green Spaces to Broaden the
Diversity of Life in the Local Area
The land use and site management of plants andofﬁces affect a region's ecosystem, but they can also
contribute to improving the quality and sustainable useof ecosystem services.
In order to create green spaces at businesssites that promote biodiversity, the DNP Group has
followed the JBIB Guidelines for Sustainable BusinessSites developed by the Japan Business Initiative for
Biodiversity. As an example, employees participatedin initiatives to survey vegetation and wildlife in andaround their facilities in late August and September
2012.
Based on the results and on expert advice, wehave created different types of green spaces. At the
Okayama Plant, a lack in the surrounding area spelt
the need for a grassland type of green space; at DNP
Chubu, trees and plants were planted to protect
butterﬂy habitats. Employees have gone as far as
drawing up wildlife maps and compiling ﬁeld guides.
Moving forward, regular wildlife surveys will help theteams track changes in the local ecosystem.
Surveys will also be conducted at other businesssites to improve their green spaces, to select suitable
plants and trees, and to update maintenancepractices. They will be used in creating green spacesthat promote biodiversity at our business sites.

Recreating the Musashino Woods through the
Ichigaya Forest Plan
The DNP Head Ofﬁce is located in Ichigaya, Tokyo,
which was once covered by the great Musashino
Woods. We are currently pursuing an ambitious plan—
the Ichigaya Forest Plan—to recreate the Musashino
Woods by 2017. The Ichigaya precinct has lush green
areas in the Imperial Palace and the former outer moatsof Edo Castle, which are home to a cornucopia ofbirds, butterﬂies, and other wildlife. The DNP Ichigaya
Forest Plan seeks to link up with those existing oases
to create a rich ecosystem so that the resident wildlife
can come and go as they please.

14 families, and 97 species of insects.
The plants at the site were primarily planted species, but the rare ma dou ling Dutchman's pipe, a vine eaten by the Chinese windmill
butterﬂy, was also found (red-listed in the Tokyo metropolitan area). Most of the birds found on site were common in urban areas, but
the forest-dwelling hawﬁnch was also discovered. Most of the insects were also common in urban areas, but many butterﬂies were
found, including the common bluebottle, a swallowtail butterﬂy that is capable of moving signiﬁcant distances. The pygmy grasshopper,
in contrast, is a small grasshopper that cannot move great distances, so it is possible that it inhabited the area prior to the site's
development.
The results of the survey are to be reﬂected in the plan and similar surveys are to be carried out regularly in order to ascertain how an
Ichigaya Forest may contribute to the surrounding ecosystem.

Environmental Accounting

The DNP Group positions and implements environmental accounting as follows.
1. As an environmental management tool for the
DNP Group(1) To evaluate and conﬁrm the effectiveness of environmental conservation activities(2) To determine the cost of and investment in individual
conservation measures and the Group's overall
environmental activities(3) To monitor and evaluate the effects and achievements of activities performed throughout the year
to ensure continuous improvement in our environmental performance
2. As a tool for communicating with society(1) To publicly announce the cost-beneﬁt relationshipof environmental conservation efforts(2) To reﬂect the opinions of shareholders, business
partners, local residents, and others in environmental
conservation activities

Basic Target and Calculation Items

Environmental Accounting Calculation Bases(1) Period covered: April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013 (Environmental facilities are those considered as of March 31, 2013)(2) Scope of coverage: At DNP and among its domestic group companies subject to consolidated ﬁnancial accounting,
32 domestic manufacturers and one distribution company (p. 45, 46), plus non-manufacturing sites (two development
centers, ofﬁce buildings, sales ofﬁces, etc.). However, newly built plants are included in the capital investment.
(3) Monetary unit: All monetary ﬁgures are expressed in millions of yen, rounded off to the nearest million.
(4) Announcement format: We used the format designated in the Ministry of the Environment "Environmental Accounting
Guideline" 2005 edition.
(5) Basis for calculation of environmental conservation costs
1) Environmental conservation costs include depreciation expenses for investments. The methods for calculating depreciation expenses
were revised in FY2011, accompanying changes in the environmental accounting aggregation system.
2) Personnel costs for full-time workers were calculated at the average labor cost per person, while personnel costs for workers holding
two or more posts were calculated at 1/10 or 1/5 the average personnel cost per person, depending on the worker’s assigned duty.
3) R&D costs are the total costs incurred by our four R&D centers and development departments within each operations ﬁeld in thedevelopment of environmentally conscious products and manufacturing equipment. The methods of calculation for FY2011 wererevised, accompanying improvements in calculation accuracy.
(6) Basis for calculation of environmental conservation beneﬁts
1) DNP uses energy consumption per unit of sales as an efﬁciency indicator for the volume of resources (energy and water) spent on
business activities, as well as for the volume of waste materials and CO2 emissions.
2) Beneﬁts apply to all volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including chemical substances subject to the PRTR Law among theatmospheric environmental pollutant emissions volume corresponding to business area costs.
3) Up to FY2011, the beneﬁt related to goods produced by business activities corresponded to the reduction of CO2 emissions when
disposing of or recycling containers or packaging products and dye-sublimation transfer materials. However, starting FY2012, it waschanged to the reduction of the volume of greenhouse gases emitted from all products shipped. Speciﬁcally, of the GHG emissions
calculated according to the Scope 3 standards listed on p. 22, the categories used were: Category 4 (Upstream transportation &distribution), Category 9 (Downstream transportation & distribution), Category 10 (Processing of sold products), Category 11 (Use ofsold products), and Category 12 (End of life treatment of sold products). Consequently, the methods of calculation for FY2011 wererevised.
4) The beneﬁt corresponding to the transportation environmental impact is converted to the energy usage reduction beneﬁt to theshipper at the time the goods, etc., are transported.
(7) Basis for calculation of economic beneﬁt of environmental conservation activities
1) The beneﬁt corresponding to resource circulation costs is calculated as the beneﬁt from savings on waste disposal costs. The
amount of reduction is calculated as follows: (Benchmark period unit consumption – unit consumption for current period) × amountof business activity for current period.
2) Amount of business activity is based on domestic consolidated sales.
3) Unit consumption is calculated as: waste disposal cost / domestic consolidated sales.
4) The benchmark period unit consumption is the gross average value for the three-year period up to and including the previous term.

FY2012 Assessments(1) Investment in environmental facilities continued from the previous year with the introduction of environmental protection equipment at new plants being built and where
production facilities were being expanded, as well as the expansion of our VOC processing facilities.
(2) Business area costs decreased from the previous year. This was primarily due to a reduction in processing costs through the conversion of undesired materials into valuable
resources. Environmental damage costs were comprised of costs for soil improvement accompanying the purchase and sale of land.

FY2012 Assessments(1) Energy consumption and water use decreased as during the previous year due to energy saving measures and decreased production in the Electronics Division. Unit consumption
worsened, however, due to stagnant sales resulting from a drop in the unit price of orders.
(2) In FY2012, a ¥0.81 billion investment in VOC collection and disposal equipment (¥4.59 billion over the past ﬁve years) resulted in reduced atmospheric emissions. Waste per unitof production improved over the previous year as a result of converting undesired materials to valuable resources.
(3) Regarding the effect of goods produced through business activities, from FY2012 we began calculating greenhouse gas emissions after shipment according to Scope 3
standards. As a result, emissions dropped from the previous year but unit consumption remained at the same level.
(4) In the area of distribution, while sales were stagnant, the amount of energy used during transport was reduced, primarily through the optimization of vehicle assignments andtransport routes, thereby improving the unit consumption of fuel in distribution.

FY2012 Assessments(1) Sales of environmentally conscious products are up, with increased sales of packaging, ﬁlm laminate ﬂooring, and other products; sales are on target for reaching 400 billion
yen in FY2015.
(2) Income from the recycling of undesired materials through the conversion of waste to valuable material decreased year-on-year due to falling sales prices.
(3) The economic beneﬁt calculated according to item (7) of the "Environmental Accounting Calculation Bases" on page 38 shows that even though efforts were made to reduce
emissions, unit consumption worsened, and the beneﬁt was lower than in the previous year.

Ongoing Efforts(1) Make further improvements in eco-efﬁciency through Production 21 Activities.
(2) Proceed with newly installing VOC collection and disposal equipment to reduce emissions of VOCs into the atmosphere.
(3) Proceed with energy use monitoring and systematically upgrade to the latest energy-saving equipment to cut down on emissions of greenhouse gases.
