Message from the Director
in Charge of the Environment

Going Beyond
Society’s Expectations

Chairman of the DNP Group Environmental Committee

Satoru Inoue
Protecting the environment and bringing sustainability
to society are part of the Code of Conduct of the DNPGroup. Harmonious coexistence with the environmentis a constant consideration as we carry out sustainablebusiness practices. The DNP Group has been working
to reduce environmental impact in all processes from theprocurement and use of raw materials to their disposal.
We place priority on taking action to go beyond society’s
expectations, and we continue to issue reports speciﬁc to
our environmental action. Once more, this year’s reportoutlines our activities and their results so that stakeholders
can get a clear picture. The report is edited according to theEnvironmental Reporting Guidelines (2012 edition) issued
by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment and aims to be
exhaustive and provide continuity. The information in thisreport was subjected to a third-party review conductedby Ernst & Young Sustainability Co., Ltd., assuring thatimportant environmental data was accurately measured
and calculated, and fully disclosed.

Efforts in Fiscal 2014
Environmental targets for ﬁscal 2014 and a record ofactions taken are presented in this report.
The DNP Group has set and achieved its 2014 global
targets for reducing the total amount of its greenhousegas emissions; this year we also worked through energy
conservation subcommittees to promote group-wide
energy-saving measures. In conjunction with these
efforts we are implementing action across our entire
supply chain, including at our key overseas bases, tocalculate and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In
Japan we have already achieved our domestic ﬁscal
2015 target values for reducing atmospheric emissionsof volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Outside of Japan,
we have introduced a VOC recovery system at our plantin Karawang, Indonesia as part of steady efforts to
reduce emissions internationally, which we will be further
extending in the future. With regard to lowering industrial
waste, we have reached 2015 global targets for emissions

reductions ahead of time, and maintain zero emissions
domestically within the group, achieving a less than 0.5%
landﬁll rate. In addition, we have already reached 2015
sales targets for environmentally conscious products andservices aimed at conserving resources and energy andpromoting recycling. With regard to protecting biodiversity,
the DNP Group has focused on two key areas that areclosely tied to our business activities: the procurement of
raw materials and creating green areas on the premisesof our business sites.
Paper is one of the key raw materials that are essential
to the business continuity of the DNP Group. Based on
our guidelines set in 2012 for the procurement of printing
paper and converting paper, in consultation with our main
suppliers we are making improvements in utilizing forest
resources effectively and sustainably. In the creation ofgreen areas on business premises as natural habitats forcreatures in the vicinity and to protect rare or endangered
species, we have expanded activities with employee
participation from ﬁve to 24 locations. We have also held
seminars and events for citizens, welcoming our neighbors
in the Ichigaya district, to deepen overall understanding of
biodiversity.

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 same level ofawareness in their activities as we do in ours. Especiallywith regard to our global warming measures, we havelooked closely at emissions related to purchased goods
and services, which account for over 60% of greenhousegas emissions in our supply chain as a whole, and are
pursuing reductions in cooperation with our suppliers. We
have also set 2030 targets to move ahead with further
efforts to prevent climate change. For the future we plan
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 degreeof trust from society.

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 forperceiving 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.

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
to future 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 and supports
biodiversity, ﬁrst by complying with environmental laws and regulations and also by recognizing
the relationship that each of our business activities has with the environment. In this way we hopeto 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.
DNP Environmental Committee (March 21, 2000, revised March 16, 2010)

The DNP Group is a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact anda “promotion partner” of the Nippon Keidanren’s 2009 Declaration on Biodiversity.

Environmental Management System
The DNP Group created its own environmental
management system (EMS) in 1993, prior to the
publication of ISO14001. Our EMS uses the twin toolsof Eco-Reports and Site Eco-Reports set up by the
DNP Group Environmental Committee Promotion
Ofﬁce as a framework. We also execute the “PlanDo-Check-Action” cycle every six months.
The Eco-Reports cover trends in environmental
issues and changes in applicable laws, our coursesof action, and how well the DNP Group overall has
achieved its targets. The Eco-Reports are distributed
to the Operations & Group Company Environmental
Committees and to every business site. The Site EcoReports document each site’s targets, plans, andstatus of activities. The Operations & Group Company
Environmental Committees use the Site Eco-Reports
to gain an understanding of the situation at each siteand submit a summary report to the DNP Group
Environmental Committee.
The DNP Group Environmental Committee andthe Operations & Group Company Environmental
Committees carry out continuous improvement
activities through training teams, implementation
teams, liaison teams, etc. Progress is checked
through periodic environmental activities promotion
meetings.

Eco-Audit Content and Flow
We began implementing “Eco-Audits” in 1996, so
as to make our Environmental Management System(EMS) more effective.
Eco-Audits have the following features.
(1) Because auditors are DNP employees fromsites not being audited, they have specialized
knowledge about the products and processes andare able to maintain an independent perspective,
which produces meaningful, objective results fromthe audit.
(2) In the Eco-Audit we place importance on on-site
conﬁrmation of actual items. In addition, we pointout factors for which danger is projected andrequest preventive action when needed.

Preparation and notiﬁcation of annual plan

Under this system, when an audit reveals that
corrective measures are needed at a site, a “corrective
action request” is issued in writing and such actions
as necessary are managed by the DNP Group
Environmental Committee.

DNP Group Environmental Report 201511

Environmental Risk Management
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
substance handling, and have set up levees andemergency shutoff systems to prevent liquids fromoverﬂowing and installed two-tier holding tanks for theprevention of accidents at plants handling chemicals.
We also stock up on materials that can be usedduring emergencies and hold emergency response
drills to ensure the proper 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 FY2014, we also inspectedtanks, waste storage sites, and areas for storing
equipment that handles waste PCBs to prevent soil
contamination.

• PCB Storage
PCBs are currently in storage at 17 sites, with 143
condensers and 27 transformers; a total of 170 units.
The PCBs are contained in electrical equipment
formerly used in substation facilities at our plants.
Fluorescent lighting ballasts and other equipment
containing PCBs have also been placed in storage.
Storage consists of special containers in designatedstorage rooms at each site, managed under thestrictest conditions in accordance with applicableregulations 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 foreach region.
• Status of Legal Compliance
While we make all efforts to comply with environmental
laws and regulations, over the past three years we haveexperienced two 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.

Improving inspections of activated carbon
conveyance piping

Occurrences (causes, improvements, andrecurrence prevention measures)
March 4, 2013
Kyoto Plant, DNP Technopack
Governmental measurement of concentration of volatileorganic 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.

February 24, 2014
Tanabe Plant, DNP Technopack
Governmental water analysis → pH measurement values
exceeded regulatory standards for draining systems, so an
improvement report was submitted.
The cause of excessive pH levels was the pH level of a special
detergent used for an automatic dishwasher in the kitchen. The
detergent was switched to a type that meets water quality standards
and pH levels are being monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure thatstandard values are met.

Environmental Education
The DNP Group conducts environmental education
programs according to level, working group, andfunction concerning the DNP Group’s environmental
conservation efforts, environmental knowledge,
environmental laws, and domestic and overseas
trends concerning environmental issues. Our goal is for
employees to gain the knowledge and management
know-how necessary to improving employee
environmental conservation consciousness andachieving our environmental goals. A correspondence
course is held twice a year for everyone in the DNPGroup on ISO14001, lifecycle assessment (LCA), andother topics.
• New Awards System Instituted
In FY2012 we introduced an internal awards
system. The awards are presented once a year andare reserved for plants that have made a special
contribution through their environmental activities.
Such contributions include notable improvements inenvironmental performance, biodiversity protection
activities, and renewable energy utilization. Winners
are selected not only for speciﬁc accomplishments,
but also in light of their results in internal
environmental audits by meeting voluntary standards
for environmental conservation (additional to legal
requirements for air and water quality). In FY2014
awards were made to three plants for improvements
in environmental performance, and to one plant for its
environmental contribution activities.

FY2030 target: 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from FY2005 levels (domestic + international)

DNP Group Environmental Report 201518

Efforts to Reduce GHG Emissions Across the Entire DNP Group Supply Chain
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 vitalto understand GHG emissions in the overall lifecycle of a product. We havetherefore calculated GHG emissions across our entire supply chain including main overseas sites (for FY2011 to FY2014) (Scope 3), not only at thestage of manufacturing but also including indirect emissions.
The Scope 3 emissions for FY2014 stood at 5.66 million t-CO 2 and break
down as follows: “Manufacturing of goods and ser vices” (Categor y 1) at
65%, which accounted for the largest portion; “Downstream transportation & distribution (finished products)” (Categor y 9) at 12%; “End of life
treatment of sold products” (Category 12) at 10%; “Upstream transportation & distribution of raw materials and intermediate products” (Category 4)
at 9%. These four categories together accounted for 95% of the total.
We will continue to promote the reduction of 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 the Environment (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 not applicable, 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.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction

Achieving a Low-Carbon Society

Important steps that the DNP Group has taken leading to a low-carbon society include reducing the consumption of forms of energy that generate CO2 (energy conservation), switching to low CO 2 -emission
fuels, and introducing renewable energy sources.
• Reducing Consumption of CO2 -Generating Energy
The DNP Group’s overall greenhouse gas emissions in
FY2014 totaled 924,000 tons. This breaks down as follows:
energy source CO2 emissions, 902,400 tons; non-energy
source CO2 emissions, 21,300 tons; methane converted toCO2 emissions equivalent, 30 tons; N2O emissions, 470
tons. There were 5 tons of emissions of perﬂuorocarbons(PFCs) and 200 tons of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), but noemissions of hydroﬂuorocarbons (HFCs).
In FY2014, our main efforts to reduce CO2 emissions included conserving energy used for air conditioning andpower, improving production line operations, efﬁcient heating units, etc. Energy conservation subcommittees adapted to the characteristics of each business area were also
formed. In FY2015, we will continue our aggressive efforts
to limit greenhouse gas emissions by continuing with theswitch to low CO2-emission fuels, introducing energy-saving equipment such as inverters, efﬁcient air conditioners,
and heating units, 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 computationis 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 theRequirements 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, Tradeand Industry). Additionally, for electricity emission factors, the FEPC’s 2005 point-of-use CO2 emissions unit value of 0.423 (kg-CO2 /kWh) was useduniformly. Also, the Guideline for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculation for Businesses (Draft Ver. 1.6) (July 28, 2005, partially revised; Ministry of theEnvironment) 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) ﬁgure in the graph above is the sum of FY2005 domestic production site emissions and FY2009 non-production site
emissions.

Energy Conservation Subcommittees
In FY2014, continuing on from the previous year, DNP carried out energy conservation subcommittee activities
adapted to the characteristics of each business area, crucially addressing manufacturing processes that consume
high quantities of energy. Furthermore, we began breakdown diagnoses to reduce energy losses due to device
malfunctions attributable to degradation over time. At many more Information Communication plants this year, offset rotary press drying and deodorizing settings were optimized to reduce gas usage, an effort that had a huge impact the previous year. At Electronics plants, clean room air conditioning was again optimized to reduce power
consumption; other measures were also taken, such as identifying equipment with a low operating rate, particularly
in manufacturing, and shutting down the equipment at night or other times when not needed, or using the equipment in ﬂexible production to eliminate standby power consumption. At Lifestyle and Industrial Supplies plants,
with steam as the main energy source, steam pressure was optimized to improve the operating rate of waste heatboilers and reduce fuel costs. Additionally, DNP began deterioration diagnoses for the steam valve/trap systems in
all areas of plants. Faulty parts were repaired to reduce steam loss. Such effective energy-saving activities werealso written up, and the information was distributed to all plants through an “Energy Savings News” organ.

Switching to Low CO2-Emission Fuels

Achieving a Low-Carbon Society• Shift to Energy with Lower CO2 Emissions
The DNP Group is making progress in the switch to
low CO 2 -emission fuels to reduce emissions ofgreenhouse gases.
We have been making the switch from diesel, kerosene, and similar high CO2-emission petroleum fuels into low CO2-emission utility gas, LPG (liqueﬁed
petroleum gas), and LNG (liqueﬁed natural gas) since
before 1990, and plan to continue to do so.
We are also moving ahead with renewable energy.
DNP High-performance Materials’ Izumizaki Plant installed a solar power generation system in 2009,
while in FY2011 DNP Technopack Tanabe Plant andIchigaya Area South Facility both installed solar systems that have capacities of 30 kW and 30.95 kW,
respectively. Furthermore a 10 kW solar system wasinstalled to the Ichigayatamachi Building. In FY2014
these solar power facilities produced a total of
111,900 kWh of power. We also currently purchase1.75 million kWh of Renewable Energy Certificatesannually to cover part of the power consumption
used by manufacturing processes within the group(for printing, bookbinding and processing), the showroom of the Ichigayatamachi Building and other facilities.

Operational Improvements to Heat Source System
Haruki Kadowaki, Section 1, Kansai Plant, No. 2 Technology Headquarters, Packaging Operations
The DNP Technopack Tanabe Plant manufactures plastic packaging materials and paper containers. The Plastic Packaging Materials Division employs a heat pump chiller that draws and delivers chilled and hot water at the same time. The
chilled water is used as the coolant for production machinery and for
air conditioning, while the hot water is used as a heat source for production machinery and also for heating. When the amount of cold andhot water used by this heat pump chiller is roughly equivalent, it operates at an extremely high efﬁciency. However, in the winter, when less cold water is used, inorder to prevent a shortage of hot water, it is necessary to add heat by using steam generated from boiling cold water in a boiler.
By installing a heat exchanger to heat the cold water using waste heat generated by thesolvent recovery system, the amount of steam used to heat cold water in the winter was
successfully reduced by 90% (equivalent to 256 tons-CO 2). Further energy-saving measures will be taken to meet targets and help prevent climate change.

Anti-Global Warming Measures in Transport and at Our Offices

Achieving a Low-Carbon Society• Efforts in Transport
In FY2014, the group’s overall transport volume (atdomestic manufacturing sites) was 348 million tonkilometers. 22,180 kiloliters of energy (converted tocrude oil) was used in shipping, producing 56,200
tons of CO 2 emissions. The per-unit fuel use fortransport (amount of fuel used/sales) was 15.2 kl/billion yen, an increase of 5.6% from FY2010.
We will continue to implement distribution-related
environmental impact reduction measures such as
the optimization of vehicle distribution and transportroutes, improved efﬁciency through the installation ofdigital tachometers, an idling-stop campaign, a modal shift to rail transport, and the introduction of hybrid
vehicles.

Fuel use for transport*• Global Warming Measures for Ofﬁces and Homes
The DNP Group has been engaged in efforts to reduce CO 2 emissions both for offices and homes
since FY2005. In FY2014, we worked toward our target of a 20% reduction in power consumed at ourofﬁces throughout Japan relative to FY2010. Speciﬁc
actions that we implemented and will continue implementing, beyond regular energy-saving measures,
include completely revising the number of 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.

For Reduction of Environmental
Pollutants

The Air Pollution Control Act regulates substancessuch as toxic air pollutants and ozone depleting substances, including sulfur oxide (SOx) and nitrogenoxide (NOx), as well as volatile organic compounds(VOCs). These substances have an impact on healthand the global environment, causing problems suchas photochemical smog and ozone layer depletion.
We at the DNP Group are working hard to monitor
and reduce emissions of such substances.
• Reducing VOC Emissions
Inks, solvents, adhesives, and cleaning solutions
used in the printing process contain toluene and other VOCs (volatile organic compounds). The DNPGroup’s anti-VOC measures not only seek to regulate
concentrations as required under the Air Pollution
Control Act, but also to reduce emissions overall. We
have been switching to substitute products with alower environmental impact and installing equipment
for VOC treatment and collection. These efforts haveresulted in FY2014 in a 29.3% reduction in VOCemissions to 4,757 tons, in comparison with FY2010(base year).

Reducing Waste Products in Manufacturing Processes

Building a Recycling Society

To help build recycling into society we are engaged inefforts to improve resource productivity and increase
the recycling of undesired material. These efforts are
premised on the waste-free use of raw materials that
go into manufacturing processes. Undesired material
is recycled as much as possible to utilize limited
resources efﬁciently.
Due to consolidation within the Information
Communication segment that took place in FY2013,
emissions decreased in other segments in FY2014
while increasing in the Information Communication
segment.

General Affairs Dept.

At DNP Data Techno’s Warabi Plant, items
manufactured include business forms suchas delivery slips and waybills; invoices,
insurance policies and other products related to information
processing services; as well as gift certiﬁcates and store vouchers.
In a high-level information security environment, the manufacturing
division and our staff work together to ensure compliance withenvironmental laws and regulations.
We set FY2015 targets to reduce industrial waste by 15% from
FY2010 output levels and to maintain zero emissions, and areworking to achieve them. In FY2014 we promoted paper sorting to
reduce manufacturing waste and paper waste in the administrative
division, and to recycle and reduce the amount of incinerated waste.
Other efforts have included reducing the amount of waste ﬂuid byswitching PS plate developing solutions, and converting waste into
reusable materials by improving the processing methods usedby outsource contractors. The result of such efforts was a 37.5%
reduction from FY2010 output levels, far exceeding our targets.
Going forward, the manufacturing division and our staff will
work together further and continue to promote sorting, control
generated industrial waste, convert waste into reusable materials,
and maintain zero emissions.

Breakdown of Generated Waste Volume

Building a Recycling Society

We use waste per unit of production (waste emissions( E + F )/production volume) as a productivity indicator.
In FY2014 waste per unit of production was 37.6 t/billion yen, which is an improvement over 46.8 t/billion
yen in FY2010. This reduction was achieved in part
thanks to productivity gains made by implementing
the Production 21 Activities, which set out to createa resilient production system in terms of quality, cost,delivery, and other factors. It was also the result of areduction in waste volume through the extraction ofvaluable materials such as waste plastic and wasteoil.
We use “zero emissions” as the indicator forthe promotion of recycling undesired materials.
Zero emissions represents an effort to reduce thelandﬁll waste amount ( J + K )/undesired materials
production volume A to 0.5% or less; the rate for thegroup overall in FY2014 was 0.06%, an improvementfrom 0.14% in the previous year. At present, 66 of ourdomestic manufacturing sites have achieved zero
emissions.

Use of Recycled Resources

Building a Recycling Society• Ofﬁce Paper Recycling
The business of the DNP Group is closely connectedto paper, and we have be e n separating andcollecting paper at our offices for some time. In
FY2014, waste paper was collected at 60 of 178
eligible offices, primarily large-scale offices, for arecycling rate of 80.6%, exceeding our target of 70%.
• Use of Recycled Water
We are working hard to conserve water resources bypromoting a closed-loop system in which water isrecycled and reused instead of released. In this way
we have been able to cut down on the high volume
of water required for cleaning our products, airconditioning, and heating and cooling production
machinery. We used 417.7 million cubic meters ofrecycled water in FY2014, about 33.6 times theamount of pipe water we used.
We are also making effective use of rainwater inour office buildings and other sites. In FY2014 weused 7,300 cubic meters of rainwater for toilet
ﬂushing and the watering of grounds.

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
Products and Materials
The RoHS Directive and REACH Regulations adopted by
the EU are examples of tougher regulations on chemical
substances in products that call upon companies toproperly ascertain and control the substances containedin raw materials and products throughout the entire
supply chain.
To meet these strict regulations, DNP put into
operation a management system in accordance withstandards issued by JIS and the JAMP Guidelines for
the Management of Chemical Substances in Products.
We will continue to work in conjunction with clientsand suppliers to strengthen management of chemicals
in products.

Environmentally Conscious Products and Services

Building a Recycling Society

DNP’s Environmentally Conscious
Products and Services

At DNP we have created the Environmentally Conscious Products and Services Development Guidelines
to direct from the design stage the creation of environmentally conscious products, so as to reduce theenvironmental impact of our products throughout their lifecycle. To develop more eco-friendly products
and services, in 2013 we introduced an in-house point rating system for products and services,
according to which certain products earn the designation “Super Eco-Product” or “Eco-Product.”
We aim to increase sales of environmentally conscious products and services and expand the numberof Super Eco-Products we offer, as well as further reducing the environmental impact of our products
and services in the future.

Eco-Pro• Development and Sales of Environmentally
Conscious Products and Services
Sales of environmentally conscious products andservices reached 478.8 billion yen in FY2014 and havealready exceeded FY2015 targets.
Twenty ﬁve products have so far been designated as
Super Eco-Products as of March 2015. DNP intends
to continue developing more of such environmentallyconscious products and services.
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
is returned to the Earth.

In the case of sites and parts, considerations
regarding disassembly, cleaning, and reﬁlling;
establishment of a collection and reusesystem that is easy for the purchaser to use.

Example product • Decorative Sheeting

Example product • Peel-off Shipping Labels

Safmalle is our line of oleﬁn-based decorative
sheets for construction or decorative use, whichmeet the need for healthy, hygienic, and safe
living space creation.

These are shipping labels that are easily peeled
off of packing paper or cardboard. The labels
are one-ply, saving paper, and they make therecycling of cardboard and other packaging easy
because they peel off cleanly.

Example product• Biomass Plastic Packaging MaterialBM

Our Elbow Pouch is a reﬁll-use pouch withimproved opening and pouring features. It isuseful in saving bottle resources, and postreﬁlling volume is reduced.

These ﬁlm products are made partially fromplant-based materials. Their production and use
will help reduce emissions of CO 2, a greenhousegas, and the use of petroleum, a depleting
natural resource.

6 Recyclability

7 Use of recycled materials, etc.

8 Ease of treatment and disposal

Are the materials used in the product easy
to recycle? Does the design allow for easy
breakdown, disassembly, and separation ofmaterials? Is there a collection and recycling
system that is easy for the purchaser to use?

U se as many collected and recycledmaterials and parts as possible.

Attempt to place as little burden as possible
on incinerator facilities and landﬁll sites.

Example product• Environmentally Conscious Calendars

Example product • Magazines andPamphlets Using Recycled Paper

These are color ﬁlters using a black matrix (BM)made of resin instead of metal. Developmentof this product has resulted in reduced
environmental impact and cost.

These calendars are made with recycled paper
and low environmental impact ink. No metalor plastic need be removed post-use, because
neither is used in their production.

These are printed materials thatuse composites ofused paper, suchas used magazinesand newspapers.
Not only do they require fewer paper
resources, but theuse of low environmental impact soy
ink and non-VOC
ink is increasing.

Building a Recycling Society

Use of LCA and Efforts to Reduce Our Carbon Footprint• Assessment and Development of Products
Using LCAThe 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 and service
development.
Recently, we have been conducting efforts toward
the mitigation of global warming and reduction ofwater use based on detailed data on environmental
impact obtained through LCA methods.

it is 100% biomass based (photo 2), thereby reducing
greenhouse gas emissions by 14%.

Examples of Product Development Using DNP’s
Biomass Plastic Packaging, “Biomatech”
DNP’s biomass plastic packaging, “Biomatech,” is
DNP’s leading environmentally conscious product. It
is made from plant material rather than exhaustible
petroleum reserves. This plant-based plastic consistsof PET, PE, PLA, and other materials, of which plantderived PET ﬁlm has been commercialized in Japan forthe ﬁrst time. A full lineup of Biomatech
products is being developed, including
products with added barrier properties
and light-blocking performance.

• Carbon Footprint
DNP began participating in the Japanese government’s“carbon footprint of product” (CFP) pilot project in2008. We established product category rules (PCRs)for publications and commercially printed matter aswell as containers and packaging, for example, andreviewed veriﬁcation schemes.
In 2013, Japan’s carbon offset system using CFP
got into full swing with a system for displaying acertiﬁcation mark indicating that a product offsets a
certain volume of greenhouse gases with an equal
number of credits. At DNP we continue to implement
carbon offsets and display the mark primarily on
printed matter for internal PR and advertising.

Product Examples and LCA Evaluation(1) A reﬁll pouch with spout made withaluminum-coated ﬁlm (photo 1) makes it
possible to keep the innermost ﬁlm layer
thin and also reduces greenhouse gas
emissions by 26% through the use of
biomass PE ﬁlm.
(2) Biomass PE is used on the inside ofthis drink carton, and except for the ink,Conﬁrmation of Reductions through LCA
The reductions achieved by DNP’s biomass plastic
packaging material, Biomatech, are calculated eachyear. Approximately 2,270 tons of greenhouse gases
were saved through all products sold in FY2014 (April
2014–March 2015) in comparison to if the products
had been made with conventional petroleum-based
plastics. This amount is equivalent to the annual
emissions of approximately 420 households.

Photo 2• Water Footprint Initiative
As a company with a progressive take on water
footprint, DNP has been participating in the Study
Group on Water Footprint Calculation launched by the
Ministry of the Environment, submitting our views andexamining case studies. The study group publisheda collection of water footprint calculations on August

8, 2014, aimed at clarifying calculation objectives
and proposing calculation methods that adhere toconformance limits.
DNP also participates regularly in the Water Footprint Jissenjuku, an implementation study groupheaded by Prof. Norihiro Itsubo of Tokyo City University. Last year, DNP evaluated its culture ﬁlm forbacterial testing, “Medi•Ca™,” which was exhibitedat Eco-Products 2014, Japan’s largest environmental
trade show. In the future more calculation cases will
be added to deepen discernment, while we strive togain a good grasp of the impact of water on the environment and to reduce that impact.

Carbon Footprint
An index representing the total emissions of greenhouse gases of a product orservice over its entire lifecycle converted to CO2 by volume. Product labelingis a method by which a business can visually demonstrate to consumers themeasures it is taking to ﬁght global warming, who can then make product orservice choices which take CO2 emissions volume into consideration. LCA
methodology is used to calculate the carbon footprint.
Water Footprint
An index for converting the amount of water “used” through the entire lifecycleof a product, etc., into a numerical value, also applicable to the amount ofwater (drinking water, etc.) used in the process of producing agricultural andlivestock products. In making calculations, it is necessary to collect data while
taking into consideration regionality and to assess not only water volume but
effects of water quality on the environment. The international standard ISO
14046 was published in July 2014.

4Realizing a Society in Symbiosis
with Nature

At DNP we understand that we gain many beneﬁts
from ecosystems that are supported by abundantbiodiversity, and we believe that working to coexist
harmoniously and protect the environment is essential
for the company to maintain sustainable growth.
Based on this way of thinking, we work to protect
biodiversity through our business activities.
In every process, including but not limited to
product development, material procurement,
manufacturing, sales, transport, product use, anddisposal of waste, we have examined the relationshipto biodiversity. We established two key themes, bothof which affect our reliance on ecosystem services
and seriously impact biodiversity—the improvementof material procurement practices and the creation ofgreen spaces at our business sites.

and FSC-certiﬁed paper. In addition, starting from2012, in collaboration with suppliers including paper
manufacturers and paper sales companies, we havebeen active to promote sharing of the procurement
policies in our Guidelines for Procurement of Paper
for Printing and Converting, to ensure traceability andincrease the proportion of paper manufactured from
responsibly-managed forests.

• Guidelines for Procurement of Paper for
Printing and Converting
Paper is a principal raw material essential to theongoing continuation of DNP’s business operations.
We are committed to the conservation of forest
resources and effective use of raw materials. To
this end, we actively encourage customers to use
products made using timber from thinned trees

In FY2014, we compiled and analyzed the results of the survey conducted the previous
year to gauge supplier progress in complying with our Guidelines for Procurementof Paper for Printing and Converting. We also held meetings with six of our principal
suppliers to exchange opinions, confirm current status, and undertake improvements.
All six suppliers presented clear policies for raw material procurement and adherence totraceability, demonstrating that they are implementing paper procurement management
structures.
At the same time, by further sharing information from the beginning of the supply
chain all the way downstream to end users, and working to harmonize outlooks with our
suppliers, we were able to take our environmental impact reduction to the next level.
Going forward, we will implement responsible paper procurement throughout the
supply chain to further contribute to biodiversity preservation.

4The 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. We want to create a lush green environment
in Ichigaya similar to the Imperial Palace and its outermoat in which wildlife can thrive and travel from one
green area to others in the vicinity.
As a step toward building this environment, DNP is
holding public “Ichigaya Forest” seminars to deepen
communication between employees and local
residents. In FY2014 three seminars were held on thetheme of “green,” in addition to two events, one ofwhich was aimed at observing cicadas.
DNP “Ichigaya Forest” public seminars will continue
to be held periodically with different invited guest
lecturers as fun, useful, connective learning events.

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) Standards for calculation of environmental conservation costs
1) Environmental conservation costs include depreciation expenses for investments.
2) Personnel costs for full-time workers were calculated at the average labor cost per person, while personnel costs forworkers 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 three R&D centers and development departments within each operations
ﬁeld in the development of environmentally conscious products and manufacturing equipment.
(6) Standards 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
the atmospheric environmental pollutant emissions volume corresponding to business area costs.
3) The beneﬁt related to goods produced by business activities was 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. 19, the categories used were: part of Category 4 (Upstream transportation & distribution), Category 9 (Downstream
transportation & distribution), Category 10 (Processing of sold products), Category 11 (Use of sold products), andCategory 12 (End of life treatment of sold products).
4) The beneﬁt corresponding to the transportation environmental impact is converted to the energy usage reduction beneﬁt
to the shipper at the time the goods, etc., are transported.
(7) Standards 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) × amount of 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 theprevious term.

FY2014 Assessments of Performance Data of Environmental Accounting
Environmental Conservation Beneﬁts(1) Energy consumption, water usage, and greenhouse gas emissions were again reduced from the previous year thanks to energy-saving and water-saving efforts and theeffects of factory streamlining. This resulted in an improvement in unit consumption.
(2) Emissions of VOCs into the air were reduced from the previous year as a result of continued maintenance of VOC collection and removal equipment and reductions in use
amounts. Waste emissions fell due to greater conversion into valuable materials, resulting in an improvement in unit consumption over the previous year. Amounts ofundesired materials generated and materials input worsened owing to changes in product composition.
(3) Regarding the beneﬁts related to goods produced by business activities, increased transport efﬁciency resulted in an improvement in unit consumption. Environmental
burden from transport was also reined in.
Economic Beneﬁts of Environmental Conservation Activities(1) Sales of environmentally conscious products have already surpassed the FY2015 sales target.
(2) Business income from recycling undesired materials was increased from the previous ﬁscal year due to conversion into valuable materials.
(3) The economic beneﬁts calculated according to the basis outlined in (7) of the “Environmental Accounting Calculation Bases” on p. 37, i.e. “saving disposal costs by resource
conservation,” were increased, with a drop in processing costs accompanying a reduction in waste emissions, which represents an improvement in unit consumption for theﬁscal year.
Ongoing Efforts(1) Make further improvements in eco-efﬁciency through Production 21 Activities.
(2) Systematically promote replacement with energy-saving equipment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
