ioral standards for all activities undertaken in realizing ourManagement Concept. The Code is intended to ensure that
all employees conduct themselves with integrity at all times.

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.

DNP Group Code of Conduct
The Code of Conduct that underlines each and every activity
aimed at realizing DNP’s Management Concept. This Code of
Conduct is to be observed by all DNP Group employees.

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.

4. Act with integrity, fairness, and impartiality, at all times
We are, of course, obliged to abide by the law and conform to social codes. At the same time, we should also be considerate of others, speak honestly, and act with integrity. By conducting ourselves in this manner, we will be able to win thesympathy and trust of society, which will in turn augment the ‘value’ that we provide to society.

5. Be responsible for your own decisions and conduct
Each of us should be responsible for our own decisions and conduct. A strong sense of responsibility will not only lead toour colleagues’ greater trust in us, but will also enable us to make objective and appropriate evaluations of our own work
processes, which will assist us in making greater strides at our next opportunity.

DNP Group Environmental Policy

The foundation of our environmental activities

As a manufacturer, the DNP Group is constantly considering how we can coexist with the global environment. We
value the gifts of nature, and strive for coexistence with it
so we can pass those gifts on to the next generation. Our
efforts to do so are of primary importance to us now in the
21st Century, which is called the “Environmental Century.”
We do our best for the planet day in and day out, as required by our DNP Group Code of Conduct, which statesthat “We shall strive to use resources effectively without
destroying or polluting the global environment, so as topass on a beautiful planet to the generations that follow.”

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 withthe environment. In this way 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 and environmental targets, and puts into effect continuous improvement of its activities and the prevention of environmental pollution.
2. For all construction projects, and before designing and commissioning new facilities, we carry out a full and detailed
environmental survey to assess the impact that the project will have on the environment to make proper 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 impactof the product on the environment throughout its life cycle, 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, and to prevent unpleasantodors, 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 and recycling
waste as much as possible.

The foundation of our environmental activities

We began implementing “Eco-Audits” in 1996, so as to makeour Environmental Management System (EMS) more effective. When an audit discovers that corrective measures arenecessary, a Correction Measures Performed Sheet is issued to the site involved, and the response report is referredto the DNP Group Environmental Committee for approval.

Research & Development Center
Water quality inspection by authorities
Exceeded standards for
suspended particle content; an Improvement Completion Report was
submitted.
The cause of the problem was a large amount of fallen leaves in the reservoir andsludge accumulation in the drain, so cleaning was performed. Regular cleaning
has been implemented to prevent recurrence. Measurement by the company afterwards has shown that standards are not being exceeded.

January 15, 2009
Tokyo Plant, DNP Ellio
Water quality inspection by authorities
Exceeded standards forhexavalent chrome; an Improvement Completion Report was
submitted.
The cause of the problem was diminished capacity of the curate resin in the wastewater treatment facilities, which is replaced regularly (every three months), so it
was replaced. To prevent recurrence, the twice monthly measurement conductedby the operators was changed to once a week, and when the control values arefound to have been exceeded the curate resin is replaced.

Measured levels ofn-hexane (animal and plant fats) exceeded the standards.
The cause was thought to be insufficient grease trap capacity, so larger grease
traps were installed as a preventative measure.

The DNP Group conducts soil inspections based upon ourvoluntary management guidelines. When soil contamination
is discovered, we file a report with the 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.

The cause was found to be an excess supply of solvent caused by a malfunctioning
flow volume gauge, causing an overflow from the mixing tank. Flow volume gauge
testing procedures were revised and the monitoring system strengthened as preventative measures.

In addition to continuing the purification of pump water at
one site in FY2010, we also implemented the updating oftank equipment, leak inspections, and levee building so as toprevent soil contamination.

so our environmental efficiency improved.
JEPIX (Environmental Policy Priorities Index for Japan)
This is a single-index environmental evaluation system developed in Japan, whichmeasures general environmental impact levels according to a single “EIP” (environmental impact point) index. The JEPIX Forum, in which DNP participates, wasestablished in 2003 for the implementation of JEPIX methods, as part of the MEXT
21st Century COE Program Committee (International Christian University).

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction

Achieving a low-carbon society

The DNP Group’s overall greenhouse gas emissions in

Unit greenhouse gas emissions (Unit: 1,000 tons CO2)

FY2010 totaled 903,000 tons. This breaks down as follows:

CO2 emissions unit (Unit: tons-CO2/¥100 million)

energy source CO2 emissions, 872,000 tons; non-energy

Target value to be achieved in 2010 (unit CO2 emissions) 214

CO2 emissions equivalent, 30 tons; N2O emissions, 640 tons.

1990

port-related emissions were 2,850 tons.
Per-unit CO2 emissions amounted to 251 tons-CO2 /100
million yen, a 0.4% improvement over fiscal 1990.
Our main efforts to reduce CO2 emissions included conserving energy used for air conditioning and power, switching
to low emissions fuels, improving production line operations,(Base year)

efficient cogeneration, etc. In FY2010, we will continue ouraggressive efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions by continuing with the switch to low CO2 emission fuels, introducing
energy-saving equipment such as inverters, and improving
production efficiency.

Greenhouse gas emissions volume: Electricity use, fuel use/combustion, burning of waste at plants, atmospheric emissions of HFC/PFC/SF6 at plants, as well as greenhouse gas
emissions due to the fuel use and running of DNP Logistics trucks are calculated according to the “Greenhouse gas emissions calculation and reporting manual Ver. 2.1” (Published June29, 2007; Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). The coefficients used for FY2010 calculations use the values contained in the “Act on Promotion
Global Warning Countermeasures” (March 31, 2010). Coefficients used for conversion of emissions due to electricity for FY2009 and FY2010 are according to FY2009 values (after
adjustment) published by the Ministry of the Environment on December 27, 2010; for other years those published in the environmental reports of the electric companies are used, with allemissions volumes converted to CO2. Also, the “Guideline for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculation for Businesses (Draft Ver. 1.6)” (July 28, 2005, partially revised; Ministry of theEnvironment) is followed in recalculating the base year greenhouse gas emissions due to the change in our aggregate accounting range resulting from M&A.
Per-unit CO2 emissions: This is direct CO2 emissions volume from plants through energy use divided by production output. Production output indicates business activity, and added value
is distributed to the direct amount according to the ratio of the energy amount for direct emissions and the energy amount for indirect emissions.

Promoting energy conservation through the DNP Energy Conservation Practice Council
The DNP Energy Conservation Practice Council is convened regularly as part of our energy
conservation promotion strategy. In this program, working groups are composed of members
from business segments sharing work methods and facilities. They assemble at a plant, andtogether conduct an energy conservation examination and share ideas, issues, and examplesof efforts and improvements concerning energy conservation. This not only speeds up
development of energy conservation precedents, but also is aimed toward creating new
proposals for our own energy conservation measures. This program serves to reduce energy
use and speed up conservation efforts, and in addition is useful in developing personnel capable of conducting energy conservation

Council Meeting Outline• Outline of the worksite / Introduction of energy measures• Introduction of energy measures at other units (around two plants)• Site confirmation: Utilities and production line
• After-meeting (taking a look at
good aspects as well as issues at

Biodiversity Efforts

Realizing a society in symbiosis with nature

We understand that our ability to do business is premised
upon a bountiful global environment, and therefore we seek
to create a sustainable society by fulfilling our biodiversity
responsibilities.
We established our Biodiversity Declaration in March
2010, and are conducting business that takes biodiversity
into consideration. The main activities in this regard include
participation in preservation of Osaka’s Yodogawa-Udono
Yoshihara (DNP Trading), sponsorship of nature observation classes (DNP IMS Odawara), support for garbage
composting for use in growing vegetables for special
schools (DNP Tohoku), and provision of used cooking oil
for use in making bio-diesel to be used in the Biomass Town
concept (DNP Data Techno).

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 our society 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 and sales.
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.

Development and use of low-environmental impact materials
DNP developed biomass packaging using polylactate, which is a plant-derived
plastic used to make PLA cups, shrink labels for bottles, and smart cards.
We also make an effort to use plant-derived biomass offset printing ink, so
as to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
We have also developed a biomass plastic composed of 30% ethylene
glycol from sugar cane- derived bio-ethanol. Mass production of thisBIOMATECH PET began in May 2011.

Basic Target and Calculation Items

Environmental Accounting

1. Use as an environmental management tool for
the DNP Group(1) Environmental accounting produces a breakdown ofenvironmental conservation costs that can be used
as a reference for determining the effectiveness ofenvironmental conservation activities.
(2) Environmental accounting data is used to determine
the cost of individual environmental facilities, theGroup’s overall budget for environmental conservation, and the amount of investment in environmental
activities.
(3) Environmental accounting is used to monitor and evaluate the effects and achievements of activities
performed throughout the year in order to ensure continuous improvement in our environmental
performance.

Environmental Accounting Calculation Bases(1) Period covered: April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011 (Environmental conservation facilities are those considered as of March 31, 2011)(2) Scope of coverage: Within DNP and among the companies subject to our consolidated financial accounting, domestic manufacturers (36companies), one distribution company, and one in-house food catering company were subjected to environmental accounting.
(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 the environmental conservation cost
1) The 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 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 12 R&D centers in the development of environmentally conscious products and manufacturing equipment.
(6) Basis for environmental conservation benefits
1) DNP uses consumption per added-value as an 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.
Furthermore, the DNP Group uses the added-value total of the company concerned as an indicator of the volume of business activities, given that companies within the Group perform product transactions. The added-value amount is calculated pursuant to the

2. Use as a tool for communicating with society(1) Environmental accounting provides the means forthe public release of our environmental conservation
efforts and their results.
(2) We use the reception concerning our environmental
accounting reports as received from shareholders,clients, and local communities as a reference for improving our approach to environmental conservation.

“Management Analysis of Japanese Corporations” issued by the Ministry of the Economy, Trade and Industry.
2) The benefit from atmospheric environmental pollutant emissions volume corresponding to business area costs from this period is in
regard to all VOCs, including those covered by the PRTR Act.
3) The benefit related to goods produced by business activities is that corresponding to the reduction of CO 2 emissions when disposingof or recycling containers or packaging products and dye-sublimation transfer materials. However, dye-sublimation transfer materials are calculated as non-export, domestically consumed items.
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) Bases for the calculation of the 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 reduction amount is calculated as follows: ((Benchmark period unit consumption - unit consumption for the current period) x business activity amount for the current period).
2) The calculation of business activities was performed using the added-value indicated in Item 6 of the above benefit calculation basis.
3) For unit consumption, we use (waste disposal cost/added-value).
4) The benchmark period unit consumption is the gross average value for the three-year period up to and including the previous term.

FY2010 Assessments(1) Investment in environmental facilities was roughly the same as the previous year, mostly consisting in the installation of new VOC collection and disposal equipment and refurbishing of water treatment equipment.
(2) Despite a reduction in depreciation expenses and waste processing costs, business area costs decreased over the previous fiscal year to ¥480 million (8.9%) because of lower wastewater processing costs and depreciation.
(3) R&D costs increased over the previous year due to increased costs of development of energy conservation-related products and the costs of development of technologies for improved energy conservation.

FY2010 Assessments(1) Energy consumption increased due to the inclusion of DNP Color Techno Sakai in the total, in addition to which order costs deteriorated, worsening the unit price. In contrast, water use decreased because of reduced domestic demand for photomasks.
(2) A ¥1.12 billion investment in VOC collection and disposal equipment (¥3.32 billion over the past five years) resulted in broadly reduced atmospheric emissions. Waste per unit of production improved over the previous year asa result of reducing waste emissions by eliminating waste from all production processes and converting undesired materials to valuable resources through “Manufacturing 21” activities, resulting in improved performanceyear-on-year.
(3) In the area of distribution, as a result of continued measures such as the optimization of vehicle assignments and transport routes, better efficiency through the installation of digital tachometers, the “idling stop” campaign,
the “modal shift” to rail transport, and the introduction of hybrids into our fleet, the amount of energy used during transport has been reduced, broadly improving per unit consumption for the fourth year in a row.

FY2010 Assessments(1) Sales of environmentally conscious products increased over the previous year due to increased sales of optical film for displays, flooring, and packaging. We have exceeded our target for four years in a row.
(2) Income from the recycling of undesired materials broadly increased year-on-year, through the conversion of waste to valuable material.
(3) The economic benefit calculated according to item (7) on page 34 of the “Environmental Accounting Calculation Bases” showed broad improvement over the previous year, due to waste emissions reduction through “Manufacturing 21” activities, progress in the conversion of undesired materials to valuable resources due to thorough separation and collection, and reduction of waste volume. This represents two consecutive years of improvement.

Issues Henceforth(1) Make further improvements in eco-efficiency through activities such as “Manufacturing 21.”(2) Continue to newly install more VOC collection and disposal equipment so as to reduce emissions of VOCs into the atmosphere.
(3) In addition to improving energy use efficiency, proceed with energy use monitoring and planned upgrading of the latest energy conservation equipment.

DNP Group Environmental Report 201138

Revisions of the DNP Group’s Environmental Targets

Revisions were proposed at the DNP Group Environmental Committee meeting held in March, and the following target revisions were enacted.
Theme

Target from FY2011 onMain points of revision

Global warming prevention

To reduce GHG emissions 10% form the 2005 levels by fiscal 2020.

Per unit targets were exchanged for a single comprehensive target, so as to better contribute to global
warming.

Reduction of environmental
impact incurred during transport

To reduce per unit fuel use for transport (amount of fuel used/sales) at 1% per annum, and 10%
by fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2010.

Reduced by 25% in comparison with FY2006 by FY2010.
Extend this target to 2020, making further reductions with FY2010 as the benchmark year.

VOC

To reduce emissions of VOCs (except for methane) by 20% compared to 2010 by fiscal 2015.

Reduced by 68% in comparison with FY2002 by FY2010.
Make further reductions with FY2010 as the benchmark year.

Reduction of industrial waste

To reduce per unit waste emissions (waste emissions/production) by 15% from the 2010 levelby fiscal 2015.

Refine the indicators to make it easier to judge the results of efforts such as conversion to valuable
material and waste volume reduction at the site.
Make progress in waste reduction and toward zero emissions.

To achieve zero emissions for the entire DNP Group by fiscal 2015.
Development and sales ofenvironmentally conscious
products

To increase sales of environmentally-conscious products and services to ¥400 billion by fiscal
2015.
To increase the rate of the materials purchased according to the DNP green purchasing standards to 50% by fiscal 2015.

Green purchasing
To increase the purchase rate of environmentally certified products, such as those labeled with
the Eco-Mark, of the total supplies (office supplies and equipment) to 85% by fiscal 2015.

Achieved the goal of “¥300 billion in FY2010.”
Increase the target amount, press on with development and sales.

Achieved targets both for raw materials and general supplies.
Raise the targets, expand green purchasing.

Environmental conservation

To keep the maximum concentration of atmospheric emissions, water quality, odor, noise, andvibration at 70% of the required standard or less.

Convert noise and vibration to audio pressure and vibration speed for evaluation, and maintain thesame “95% of the required standard or less” level.

Office environment

To increase the rate of the fractional recovery of waste paper to 70% of that for general waste.

Maintain at same level as prior to revision, but expand the scope.

Environmental management
systemTo perform Eco-Audits at all sites.

Maintain this target.
