in Charge of the Environment

Going Beyond
Society’s Expectations

Chairman of the CSR-Environment Committee

Satoru Inoue
Protecting the environment and bringing sustainability
to society are part of the Code of Conduct of the DNPGroup. We are working to reduce environmental impact
throughout the supply chain from a global standpoint,
carefully considering the relationship between our businessactivities and the environment. In fiscal 2016 our activities
included efforts to prevent global warming, reduce thevolume of water used, and protect biodiversity, based,
naturally, on regulatory compliance. In carrying out ourbusiness activities, we found that there is still a strong needfor comprehensive solutions to a range of economic andsocial problems, in addition to environmental problems,
as represented by the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) adopted at the 2015 United Nations Sustainable
Development Summit. The 2015 DNP Group Vision
outlines four growth areas for generating new value, oneof them being Environment and Energy. The aim here isto help solve social problems by reducing environmental
impact and addressing climate change as we expand ourbusiness and through our products and services. One
example is DNP Lighting Film, which effectively reflects
and diffuses sunlight entering rooms from windows,

thereby reducing power consumption and enhancing
the comfort in a room. This product received the 26th
Grand Prize for the Global Environment Award, the Japan
Business Federation Chairman’s Prize. Going forward, we
aim to utilize DNP’s strengths in P&I (printing & information)
to provide new value in the environmental field.

Efforts in Fiscal 2016
The record of our actions in fiscal 2016 is presented in thisreport. In all areas we have achieved our targets.
We have been taking group-wide action to conserve
energy in the effort to mitigate global warming. Suchactions have reduced emissions of greenhouse gases
from the previous year, which includes our sites outsideof Japan. We have reduced emissions of volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) from the previous year, both insideand outside of Japan, thanks to the installation andupgrading of VOC processing systems. Regarding
industrial waste, productivity improvements have limited
the amount of waste generated, and sorting and recovery
efforts have turned potential waste into usable resources.
These improvements have lowered our per-unit emissions

year-on-year. Our landfill rate has also improved as we
continue to maintain zero emissions. DNP has expanded
the number of designated environmentally conscious
products and services, for which sales increased from theprevious year. Improvements were also made in reducing
impact from transportation and the volume of water used.
With regard to protecting biodiversity, the DNP Grouphas focused on two key areas that are closely tied to ourbusiness activities: the procurement of raw materials andcreating green spaces on the premises of our businesssites. In the area of raw materials procurement, basedon the DNP Guidelines for Procurement of Paper for
Printing and Converting set in 2012, we are working with
our suppliers to promote the use of forest resources
confirmed as lawfully harvested. In the creation of green
spaces at business sites as natural habitats for wildlife andto protect rare and endangered species, we have carriedout activities with employee participation in 31 locations.
We also have been maintaining the Fujimae Tidal Flat in
the Shonai River downstream basin by trimming reeds
and using the pulp to create graduation certificates fora local elementary school. This effort was recognized
and approved as a partnership project of the Japan
Committee for United Nations Decade on Biodiversity.
We also received a Biodiversity Action Award Japan in
fiscal 2016 for efforts to expand the use of certified fairtrade coffee (which supports biodiversity in developing
countries) at our company cafeterias and cafés.

Future Efforts
In less than one year since the Paris Agreement was
adopted and implemented, measures to combat climatechange have become one of the most important global
issues. DNP has set targets for fiscal 2030 and we will
strive to achieve further reductions that include ourentire supply chain. At the same time, we will pursue
environmental business practices that create new value
and provide answers to social problems. We also plan tocommunicate closely with our stakeholders to build deeper
trust, meet our ideals, and remain consistently worthy ofsociety’s high confidence in DNP as a corporation.

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 conservationand the realization of a sustainable society. The DNPGroup Environmental Policy links this code to specificactivities. We take the environment into considerationin all of our business activities, and focus on thosethat not only reduce environmental impact, but alsopreserve the global environment.

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.

Environmental Management System
The DNP Group created its own environmental
management system (EMS) in 1993, prior to the
publication of ISO 14001. Our EMS uses the twin toolsof Eco-Reports and Site Eco-Reports set up by the
CSR-Environment Committee Office as a framework.
We also execute the “Plan-Do-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 CSR-Environment
Committee.
The CSR-Environment Committee and the
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 CSR-Environment
Committee.

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 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 FY2016, we also inspected tanks,
waste storage sites, and areas for storing equipmentthat handles waste PCBs to prevent soil contamination.
• PCB Storage
PCBs are currently in storage at 17 sites, with 130

condensers and 27 transformers; a total of 157 units.
The PCBs are contained in electrical equipment formerly
used in substation facilities at our plants. Fluorescentlighting ballasts and other equipment containing PCBs
have also been placed in storage. Storage consistsof special containers in designated storage rooms ateach site, managed under the strictest conditions inaccordance 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 thedisposal plans for each region.
• Management of Chemical Substances in
Products and Materials
Companies like DNP are being called on to properly
ascertain and control the chemical substances
contained in raw materials and products in use
throughout the supply chain.
DNP has put into operation a management system
in accordance with standards issued by JIS and the
JAMP Guidelines for the Management of Chemical
Substances in Products.
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 transmittingthat information through supply chains.

• 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 orwater quality standards were exceeded and in eachcase improvement reports were submitted to thegovernment. There are no ongoing legal disputes
involving environmental issues. We have unfortunately

had some complaints from areas neighboring ourplants concerning noise and odors. Whenever we
receive such complaints, we respond promptly bylaunching a thorough investigation into the cause of the
problem and by working to make improvements andprevent recurrence.
Occurrences (causes, improvements, andrecurrence prevention measures)
July 24, 2015
Tanabe 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 recovers
and treats VOCs in exhaust gas. The adsorption ability of the activatedcarbon that adsorbs the VOCs had deteriorated. To prevent a
recurrence, we are changing the operational conditions of the activatedcarbon regeneration equipment to improve the adsorption ability of theactivated carbon, and are periodically monitoring its adsorption ability.
After implementation of these steps, we were able to confirm that VOC
concentration levels were within standard limits.

November 12, 2015
Chikugo 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 failure of the wastewater
neutralizing apparatus on the waste heat boiler. To prevent a recurrence,
we repaired the controller and alarm device and will conduct periodic
inspections. After implementation, we were able to confirm through water
quality tests that the values met regulatory standards.

December 22, 2016
Tanabe Plant, DNP Technopack
Governmental water analysis → n-hexane extracted
substance content (animal and plant oils and fats) exceeded
regulatory standards for draining systems, so an improvement
report was submitted.
The likely cause was the discharge of oil content not captured by kitchen
grease traps. To prevent a recurrence we reexamined our cleaning
procedures. After implementation, we were able to confirm through water
quality tests that the values met regulatory standards.

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 ISO 14001, lifecycle assessment (LCA), andother topics.
• 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 FY2016
awards were made to one plant for improvements inenvironmental performance.

Efforts to Reduce GHG Emissions Across the Entire DNP Group Supply Chain
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are one cause of global warming. The DNPGroup is taking active steps to reduce GHG emissions on a global scale.
In developing environmentally conscious products, we consider it vital tounderstand GHG emissions in the overall lifecycle of a product. We therefore
calculate GHG emissions across our entire supply chain including main overseas
sites (Scope 3), not only at the stage of manufacturing but also including indirectemissions.
The Scope 3 emissions for FY2016 stood at 5.28 million t-CO 2 and break
down as follows: “Manufacturing of goods and services” (Category 1) at 63%,
which accounted for the largest portion; “Downstream transportation &distribution (finished products)” (Category 9) at 14%; “End of life treatment of soldproducts” (Category 12) at 10%; “Upstream transportation & distribution of raw
materials and intermediate products” (Category 4*1) 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.

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 theconsumption of forms of energy that generate CO2(energy conservation), switching to low CO2 -emission
fuels, and introducing renewable energy sources.
• Reducing Consumption of CO2 -Generating Energy
The DNP Group’s overall greenhouse gas emissions in
FY2016 totaled 820,000 tons. This breaks down as
follows: energy source CO2 emissions, 799,000 tons;
non-energy source CO 2 emissions, 20,300 tons;
methane converted to CO2 emissions equivalent, 38
tons; N2O emissions, 436 tons. There were 9 tons ofemissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), 27 tons ofper fluorocarbons (PFCs) and 6 tons of sulfur
hexafluoride (SF 6), but no emissions of nitrogen
trifluoride (NF3).
In FY2016, our main efforts to reduce CO2 emissions
included conserving energy used for air conditioning
and power, improving production line operations,efficient heating units, etc. Energy conservation
subcommittees adapted to the characteristics of eachbusiness area were also formed. In FY2017, we willcontinue our aggressive efforts to limit greenhouse gas
emissions by continuing with the switch to low CO2emission 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, thecalculation 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 forrecalculating the base year greenhouse gas emissions due to the change in our aggregate accounting range resulting from M&As. The 2005 (baseyear) figure in the graph above is the sum of FY2005 domestic production site emissions and FY2009 non-production site emissions. Furthermore,
Scope 1 emissions attributable to transportation and distribution carried out by group companies are not included.

Energy Conservation Subcommittee Activities
DNP carried out subcommittee activities extensively to support energy conservation activities at our plants. At Information Communication
plants a system was implemented to reuse the previously unutilized high-temperature waste heat from deodorizing equipment for the offset
rotary press in the drying equipment, thereby reducing gas usage. We also reduced the amount of compressed air by fixing leaks and by linking
blow molding machines, thereby reducing compressor power usage. At Lifestyle and Industrial Supplies plants, the exhaust gas processing
settings were optimized for the deodorization equipment used to incinerate the drying exhaust gases from gravure printing machines and thelike, thereby reducing fuel usage. At Electronics plants, a change in methods for controlling the air volume of clean room air conditioners(switching to an inverter system for damper adjustment) reduced the amount of power used by the air conditioning fan. To achieve further
energy savings, efforts have been started to verify energy conservation measures using IoT. There have also been calls for better compressed
air leakage prevention from plants, so talks were given to plants on how to diagnose air leaks and how to use diagnostic equipment.

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 Kagacho No. 2 Building each installed solar
systems with respective capacities of about 30 kW.
Furthermore a 10 kW solar system has been installedat the Ichigayatamachi Building, and in FY2015,
systems were installed at the Ichigaya Kagacho
Building (36 kW), Takashomachi Building (24 kW),and Sayama Plant (6 kW). We also currently purchase1.82 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), theshowroom of the Ichigayatamachi Building and otherfacilities.

The Recycling of Vented Air Conditioning (DNP Data Techno Ushiku Plant)
Sadaharu Hamadate, No. 2 Engineering Dept., Ushiku Engineering Section 2, Group 4, Information Innovations Operations

ReturnThe Ushiku Plant specializes in cards—everything from credit cards to point cards, from card manufacturing to card
issuance. To ensure that no foreign matter adheres to the surface of a card and to prevent defects due to uneven levels of
humidity, a clean room and stable hygrothermal manufacturing environment is required for certain processes. We therefore
adopted an all-fresh-air conditioning system that takes in air whose
temperature and humidity has been adjusted to the inside of the room andAC unit

1Anti-Global Warming Measures inTransport and at Our Offices

Achieving a Low-Carbon Society• Efforts in Transport
In FY2016, the group’s overall transport volume (atdomestic manufacturing sites) was 318 million tonkilometers. 20,860 kiloliters of energy (converted tocrude oil) was used in shipping, producing 51,800
tons of CO 2 emissions. Additionally, emissions
attributable to transportation and distribution carriedout by group companies (Scope 1) came to 2,400
tons. The per-unit fuel use for transport (amount offuel used/sales) was 14.8 kl/billion yen, a decrease of
8.1% 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, amodal 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 CO2 emissions both for offices and homes
since FY2005. In FY2011, we established a target of
a 20% reduction in power consumed at our offices
throughout Japan relative to FY2010. Specific actions
that we are implementing, beyond regular energysaving measures, include completely revising thenumber of lighting fixtures and level of illuminationneeded, 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 andother VOCs. The DNP Group’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 tosubstitute products with a lower environmental
impact and installing equipment for VOC treatment
and collection. In FY2016, these efforts have resulted
in a 38.5% reduction in VOC emissions to 4,141 tons
compared to FY2010 (base year).

3Reducing 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 materials. These efforts are
premised on the waste-free use of raw materials that
go into manufacturing processes. Undesired materials
are recycled as much as possible to utilize limited
resources efficiently.
We use waste per unit of production (waste
emissions ( E + F [next page])/production volume)
as a productivity indicator. In FY2016 waste per unitof production was 30.9 t/billion yen (domestic waste
emissions/production), which is an improvement
over 40.8 t/billion yen in FY2010. This reduction wasachieved in part thanks to activities which set out tocreate a resilient production system in terms of quality,
cost, delivery, and other factors. It was also the resultof a reduction in waste volume through the extractionof valuable materials such as waste plastic and wasteoil.
We use “zero emissions” as the indicator for thepromotion of recycling undesired materials. Zeroemissions represents an effort to reduce the landfill
waste amount ( J + K [next page])/undesired materials
production volume A [next page] to 0.5% or less;the rate for the group overall in FY2016 was 0.05%,
maintaining zero emissions. Two of our domestic
manufacturing sites did not achieve zero emissions.

In our efforts to reduce waste, we aim to achieve a 5%
reduction in per-unit emissions in FY2020 as compared to
FY2015.
In FY2016, we reduced our per-unit emissions by 9.2%
from the previous year. Specific activities included narrowing
down the defects and losses by product to about 10
individual areas, and discussing conditions of occurrence,
number of occurrences, and relevant issues. We unified thequality control section, equipment group, and manufacturing
workplace to decide on a specific improvement plan,
introduce high-performance inspection machines, improveequipment, review work methods, and take other step-bystep measures to reduce defects and losses.
We will continue such efforts to prevent the generation ofwaste and to supply better products to the world.

Use of Recycled Resources

Building a Recycling Society• Reducing Volume of Water Used
The electronics division requires large volumes ofwater, so we are working to optimize the volume ofwater used in each manufacturing process, and to
expand the collection and reuse of water. We arealso looking at expanding water conservation andcyclic usage efforts throughout the DNP Group. In
FY2016, the amount of water used domestically was
11 million m3, a reduction of 900,000 m3 from theprevious year.
• 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 306.6 million m 3 of recycledwater in FY2016, about 34.3 times the amount ofpipe water we used.
We are also making effective use of rainwater inour office buildings and other sites. In FY2016 weused 18,700 m3 of rainwater for toilet flushing and thewatering of grounds.

Environmentally Conscious Products and Services

Building a Recycling Society• Development and Sales of Environmentally
Conscious Products and Services
At DNP we have 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. To
develop more eco-friendly products and services, 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.”
Sales of environmentally conscious products andservices reached 589.8 billion yen in FY2016 and haveachieved targets. Moreover, thirty-five products have so
far been designated as Super Eco-Products as of March2016.
In FY2016, DNP Lighting Film, which effectively
reflects and diffuses light coming in from windows, wasrecognized for its ability to reduce power consumption
and enhance the comfort in a room; it won the 26th
Grand Prize for the Global Environment Award, theJapan Business Federation Chairman’s Prize.
DNP intends to continue developing more of suchenvironmentally conscious products and services.

DNP Recycling System
DNP has built a recycling system for making paperrecycled products at DNP Group plants by utilizing
excess blank paper and unused white paper generated
in the manufacturing process.
There is 100% traceability of resources in allprocesses, from paper used as a raw material to thecreation of paper-recycled products from the plant’s
waste paper. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) has
also granted use of its mark for the products. The firstsuch implementation was the production of coasters
at the Tanabe Plant (Kyoto), which manufactures
packaging materials. The coasters are used in theplant’s reception room and at other domestic DNPbusiness sites.
These FSC® coasters are manufactured entirely fromrecycled waste paper, primarily from paper that comesfrom the DNP plant.

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)

The FSC is an international body that certifies wood product-producing
forests around the world for environmentally sound management, alongwith certifying the many stages of distribution and processing of the wood
products from those forests. Only recycled products using materials
recognized by FSC standards are FSC certified.

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 product development,material
procurement,
manufacturing,sales,
transport, product use, and disposal of waste, wehave examined the relationship with biodiversity. We
established two key themes, both of which affectour reliance on ecosystem services and seriously
impact biodiversity—the improvement of material
procurement practices and the creation of green
spaces at our business sites.

Biodiversity Efforts

Partnership Project Approved by the Japan Committee
for United Nations Decade on Biodiversity (UNDB-J)
DNP has partnered with local governments, an elementary school,
paper makers, and others to protect the Fujimae Tidal Flat in the
Shonai River downstream basin. Specifically, we trim the reeds
that grow in the reed beds of the tidal flat to maintain their functionof purifying the water. We then pulp and make paper from thecut and collected reeds. The paper is used to make graduation
certificates printed for a local elementary school that participatesin the reed cutting (Nagoya Tochi Elementary School). In 2016 thiseffort was approved as a partnership project as recommended by
the Japan Committee for United Nations Decade on Biodiversity(UNDB-J), highly praised for the partnership with diverse groups,
the project’s importance, and its awareness-raising impact.

Material Procurement• 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 thisend, we actively encourage use of products madeusing timber from thinned trees and FSC-certified
paper. We are aiming for 100% conformity to our
Guidelines for Procurement of Paper for Printing andConverting for all raw material paper products. We
are also strengthening our communication with paper
manufacturers, sales companies, and other suppliersin an effort to assure traceability.

In FY2016 we conducted wildlife surveys in
winter, spring, and autumn to ascertain whatbird and insect species were inhabiting the area.
The bird survey uncovered the habitation of
17 species of birds in 14 families and six orders.
Most were so-called urban birds—species thathave adapted to urban environments. Smallbirds of prey were also observed, and it was
assumed that they use high-rise buildings as
resting places.
The insect survey uncovered the habitationof 110 species of insects in 61 families and 12
orders, including butterflies, grasshoppers, andother large insects. The number of species
confirmed is still relatively low. As the green
space grows the insect fauna are expected to
thrive. We plan to continue carrying out surveys
on a regular basis in the future.

5Environmental Accounting

Targets
1. As an environmental management tool for
the DNP Group(1) To evaluate and confirm the effectiveness ofenvironmental conservation activities(2) To determine the cost of and investment inindividual conservation measures and the Group’s
overall environmental activities(3) To monitor and evaluate the effects andachievements of activities performed throughout
the year to ensure continuous improvement in ourenvironmental 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 inenvironmental conservation activities

Target and Calculation Items

Environmental Accounting Calculation Standards(1) Period covered: April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017 (Environmental facilities are those considered as of March 31,
2017)(2) Scope of coverage: At DNP and among its domestic group companies subject to consolidated financial accounting,
22 domestic manufacturers and one distribution company (pp. 41, 42), plus non-manufacturing sites (three 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) 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 domestic consolidated per unit of sales as an efficiency indicator for the volume of resources (energy andwater) 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.

FY2016 Assessments of Performance Data of Environmental Accounting
Environmental Conservation Benefits(1) Water usage and greenhouse gas emissions were again reduced from the previous year thanks to energy-saving and water-saving efforts. This resulted in an improvementin unit consumption.
(2) Emissions of VOCs into the air were reduced from the previous year as a result of the upgrading and continued maintenance of VOC collection and removal equipment andreductions in solvent use amounts. Waste emissions fell due to production efficiency improvements and expanded conversion into valuable materials, resulting in an
improvement in unit consumption over the previous year.
(3) Regarding the benefits related to goods produced by business activities, CO2 emissions decreased, while unit consumption remained the same over the previous year. The
environmental burden from transport also decreased.
Economic Benefits of Environmental Conservation Activities(1) Sales of environmentally conscious products increased from the previous year due to expanded sales of existing qualified products and the development of new products.
(2) Business income from recycling undesired materials fell from the previous fiscal year due to worsening of the market environment and a subsequent reduction in the amountof valuable materials. On the other hand, the unit consumption improvement due to the reduced volume of waste emissions had a positive effect with regard to resource
recycling costs.
Ongoing Efforts(1) Make further improvements in eco-efficiency through productivity improvements.
(2) Improve the use ratio of recyclable energy while systematically promoting replacement with energy-saving equipment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
