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. 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 fromthe procurement and use of raw materials to theirdisposal. We shall do everything to meet the trust in
our relationships with diverse stakeholders. This year’s
Environmental Report presents the results of ourinitiatives and efforts throughout the past fiscal year.
The report is edited according to the Environmental
Reporting Guidelines (2012 edition) issued by Japan’s
Ministry of the Environment and aims to be exhaustiveand provide continuity. The information in this report
was subjected to a third-party review conductedby Bureau Veritas Japan, assuring that importantenvironmental data was measured and calculated
accurately.

Efforts in Fiscal 2015
Environmental targets for fiscal 2015 and a record ofactions taken are presented in this report. The DNPGroup has set and achieved its 2015 global targets
for reducing the total amount of its greenhouse gas
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 reached and significantly exceeded
our domestic fiscal 2015 target values for reducing
atmospheric emissions of volatile organic compounds(VOCs). Outside of Japan, we began operating a VOC
recovery system at our plant in Karawang, Indonesia.
With regard to lowering industrial waste, we achieved
our 2015 global targets for emissions reductions, andhave been maintaining zero emissions domesticallysince fiscal 2013, achieving a less than 0.5% landfill

rate. In addition, we met 2015 sales targets forenvironmentally conscious products and services
aimed at conserving resources and energy andpromoting recycling.
With regard to protecting biodiversity, the DNPGroup has focused on two key areas that are closely
tied to our business activities: the procurement of raw
materials and creating green areas on the premisesof our business sites. Paper is a key raw material for
the DNP Group and in 2012 we set Guidelines for
Procurement of Paper for Printing and Converting and
we are aiming to achieve a 100% rate of compliancewith these guidelines. We are strengthening
cooperation with our suppliers to promote theeffective utilization of forest resources that havebeen confirmed as being lawfully harvested, and areworking to guarantee traceability. In the creation ofgreen spaces at business sites as natural habitats
for wildlife and to protect rare and endangered
species, we have carried out activities with employee
participation in 31 locations. In fiscal 2015 we alsobegan an environmental initiative together with the
Toshiba Group that is taking place at 12 businesssites in six locations around Japan.

Future efforts
Two historic international agreements were adopted
in 2015—Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
and the Paris Accord. Enterprises are further being
called on to take control of their entire supply chain
from a global perspective, institute measures toprevent global warming, and take action to promotesustainability in resource procurement, manufacturing,and consumption. Such times bring risk but also
opportunity. The DNP Group has set targets for fiscal
2020 to step up the environmental actions taken todate, and we will do our best to meet those targets
by working together. We also plan to communicate
closely with our stakeholders to build deeper trust
and meet our ideals, becoming a corporation that is
consistently worthy of society’s high confidence in it.

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 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.

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
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 FY2015, 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 18 sites, with 144
condensers and 30 transformers; a total of 174 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 designated storage
rooms at each site, managed under the strictest conditions in accordance with applicable regulations toensure there is no leakage or loss. The PCBs in storage will gradually be disposed of as required by law
according to the disposal plans for each region.
• Status of Legal Compliance
While we make all efforts to comply with environmental
laws and regulations, over the past three years we haveexperienced three incidents in which air or water quality
standards were exceeded and in each case improvement reports were submitted to the government. There
are no ongoing legal disputes involving environmental
issues. We have unfortunately had some complaints
from areas neighboring our plants concerning noiseand odors. Whenever we receive such complaints, we
respond promptly by launching a thorough investigation into the cause of the problem and by working to
make improvements and prevent recurrence.

Occurrences (causes, improvements, andrecurrence prevention measures)
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. We
implemented procedures to confirm that the water inside thedishwasher after use of a special detergent was neutralized, andhad pH levels within standard limits. After implementation, we wereable to confirm through water quality tests that the values met thosestandards.

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 theactivated carbon that adsorbs the VOCs had deteriorated. To preventa recurrence, we are changing the operational conditions of theactivated carbon regeneration equipment to improve the adsorption
ability of the activated 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 willconduct periodic inspections. After implementation, we were able
to confirm through water quality tests that the values met thosestandards.

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 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
in environmental 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 FY2015
awards were made to two plants 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 to understand GHG emissions in the overall lifecycle of a product. We have therefore
calculated GHG emissions across our entire supply chain including main overseas sites (for FY2011 to FY2015) (Scope 3), not only at the stage of manufacturing but also including indirect emissions.
The Scope 3 emissions for FY2015 stood at 5.60 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 13%; “End of life treatment of sold products” (Category 12) at 9%; “Upstream transportation & distribution of raw materials and intermediate products” (Category 4*1) at 8%. These four categories
together accounted for 93% 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”*2 the standards of which our calculations*3 are based
upon. (Of the 15 Scope 3 categories, Categories 8, 10, 13 and 14 were not applicable,
while Category 15 was excluded from the calculation.)*1 Scope 1 emissions attributable to transportation and distribution carried out bygroup companies were included under Category 4.
*2 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.
*3 Main DNP business sites in Japan were set as the scope of calculations (excluding
Hokkaido Coca-Cola Products and the Bookstore Group among others), in addition to key overseas sites (PT DNP Indonesia, DNP Imagingcomm America Corporation, and Tien Wah Press (Pte.) Ltd.).

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
FY2015 totaled 888,000 tons. This breaks down as follows: energy source CO2 emissions, 866,000 tons;
non-energy source CO2 emissions, 21,300 tons; methane converted to CO2 emissions equivalent, 42 tons;
N2O emissions, 460 tons. There were 30 tons of emissions of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and 20 tons of sulfur
hexafluoride (SF6), but no emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) or nitrogen trifluoride (NF3).
In FY2015, 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 FY2016, 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 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. Furthermore, Scope
1 emissions attributable to transportation and distribution carried out by group companies are not included.

Energy Conservation Subcommittees
In FY2015, continuing on from the previous year, DNP carried out subcommittee activities based on the characteristics of each business area.
New initiatives included the utilization of waste heat from offset rotary presses and the recycling of exhaust gas from air conditioners. At Information Communication plants this year a system was developed to reuse the previously unutilized high-temperature waste heat from deodorizing equipment for the offset rotary press drying equipment, thereby reducing gas usage. At Lifestyle and Industrial Supplies plants, we rolled
out measures to slash the amount of cooling water used when molding equipment is at rest, thereby reducing pump energy consumption. At
Electronics plants, the amount of washing water for photomask washing equipment was optimized, reducing the amount of ultrapure water
needed. Among the measures taken at each plant, the most effective measures were implemented at all plants, information about which continued to be distributed through an “Energy Savings News” organ. In addition, in training provided for the manufacturing and personnel divisions
at the Tsukuba Techno Center, talks were given on how to diagnose air leaks and other topics to stimulate energy-saving activities at plants.

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 purchase 1.75
million kWh of Renewable Energy Certificates annually to cover part of the power consumption used bymanufacturing processes within the group (for printing, bookbinding and processing), the showroom of
the Ichigayatamachi Building and other facilities.

Offset Rotary Press Waste Heat Reutilization
Manabu Ohara, Publication Printing Operations

New waste heat recovery system

The Kuki Plant for publication printing employs an integrated system for producing magazines that includes plates, printing, and binding. Our core piece of equipment is the offset rotary press. To combat the odor of ink drying, we use a catalytic combustion process of deodorization. This type of treatment, however,Controldamperconsumes large amounts of city gas. Part of the waste heat generated

Anti-Global Warming Measures inTransport and at Our Offices

Achieving a Low-Carbon Society• Efforts in Transport
In FY2015, the group’s overall transport volume (atdomestic manufacturing sites) was 329 million tonkilometers. 21,840 kiloliters of energy (converted tocrude oil) was used in shipping, producing 54,200
tons of CO2 emissions. Additionally, emissions attributable to transportation and distribution carried out
by group companies (Scope 1) came to 15,900 tons.
The per-unit fuel use for transport (amount of fuelused/sales) was 15.0 kl/billion yen, a decrease of
6.8% 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 FY2015, we worked toward our target of a 20% reduction in power consumed at our
offices throughout Japan relative to FY2010. Specificactions 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.

The ozone-depleting chemical HCFC-141b(1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane) is used as acleaner, but our switch to substitutes in
FY2010 caused emissions to drop to zero.

Although dichloromethane was mainly used
for washing in the printing process, we havepursued a switchover to substitutes. At
present a certain amount is used as a solvent.
Our atmospheric emissions have fallen from53 tons in FY2001 to 0.7 tons in FY2015.

• 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 FY2015 in a 31.9% reduction in VOCemissions to 4,581 tons, in comparison with FY2010(base year).

We totally eliminated small furnaces, forwhich burning control is difficult, andcurrently have five large-scale furnaces inoperation, which are compliant with 2002
regulations. Atmospheric emissions in

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.
We use waste per unit of production (waste
emissions ( E + F [next page])/production volume)
as a productivity indicator. In FY2015 waste per unitof production was 31.5 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 productivity gains made by
implementing the Production 21 Activities, which set
out to create a resilient production system in terms of
quality, cost, delivery, and other factors. It was also
the result of a reduction in waste volume through theextraction of valuable materials such as waste plastic
and waste oil.
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 FY2015 was 0.06%,
maintaining the same figure as in the previous year. At
present, 66 of our domestic manufacturing sites haveachieved zero emissions.

DNP Technopack’s Sayama Plant
No.2 manufactures items familiar to
everyone—paper cups for food andbeverages.
The aim of the plant is to contribute to the advancement of
the DNP Group and society by developing and manufacturing
paper-based products. The plant’s waste reduction
initiatives began with setting a medium-term improvement
plan based on an analysis of the current situation and theimplementation of thorough sorting. Efforts have extended
to the investigation of why certain things cannot be recycled
and eliminating those causes. It is often said that “sorting
creates resources and mixing creates garbage.” In order toovercome obstacles to sorting in the physical environment,
we assembled all office and floor workers together, including
those from related on-site companies, to perform simulationsand verifications. These activities allowed us to resolve key
issues, leading to the sale of the recycled materials and therestructuring of the sorting/recovery channels. We have beenable to reduce the final waste disposal amount by 90% from2010 as the base year, representing an annual reduction of
about 1,200 tons each year, successfully removing the plantfrom a government list of large-scale producers of industrial
waste. We will continue reducing all forms of waste, pursuing
zero emissions, and working to reduce loss as importantenvironmental efforts to benefit society, while fulfilling our
responsibility to supply products.

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
FY2015, waste paper was collected at 62 of 172
eligible offices, primarily large-scale offices, for arecycling rate of 83.5%, 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 401.7 million cubic meters ofrecycled water in FY2015, about 35.0 times theamount of pipe water we used.
We are also making effective use of rainwater inour office buildings and other sites. In FY2015 weused 14,600 cubic meters of rainwater for toilet
flushing and the watering of grounds.

Environmentally Conscious Materials Procurement and Products

Building a Recycling Society• Promoting Green Purchasing
We carry out “green purchasing” to reduce theenvironmental impact of DNP’s product manufacturing
processes. Green purchasing involves selecting andbuying the most environmentally conscious materials,
parts, equipment, office supplies, and other items—
from the upstream production processes forward. We
also give priority in materials and equipment purchasing
to suppliers that take an aggressive approach toenvironmental conservation.
• Management of Chemical Substances in
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.

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.

Biodiversity Efforts
Creation of Green Spaces at Business Sites• Creating Green Spaces to Broaden the
Diversity of Life in the Local Area
The land use and site management of plants andoffices affect a region’s ecosystem, but they can also
contribute to improving the quality and sustainable
use of ecosystem services.

Six Biodiversity Locations in Tie-up with Toshiba
DNP is carrying out biodiversity protection in conjunction with the Toshiba Group at 12 business sites
across six locations throughout Japan. We are utilizing these business sites to create green spaces forwildlife that take advantage of the natural characteristics of each location; we can thus protect rare species, perform wildlife surveys, and conduct nature tours.
•Kitakami Plant, DT Fine Electronics•Japan Semiconductor Iwate Office

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.

The DNP Group creates green spaces at businesssites for the benefit of wildlife in the local area. Plant
and wildlife surveys will also be conducted at businesssites to improve their green spaces, to select suitable
plants and trees, and to update maintenance practices.
These surveys will be used in creating green spacesthat promote biodiversity at our business sites.

Joint Activities between DNP Technopack’s Yokohama Plant and Toshiba Lighting & Technology’s Yokosuka Plant
DNP Technopack’s Yokohama Plant, in conjunction with
Toshiba Lighting & Technology’s Yokosuka Plant, is working
to protect the Hemerocallis littorea, a daylily, outside its natural habitat.
Toshiba Lighting & Technology is working to protect thisspecies of daylily outside its natural habitat from devastationin its natural habitat in the Koajiro Forest on the Miura Peninsula due to high tides and illegal digging. In June 2015 thecompanies joined together under the guidance of Yuji Kishi,
representative director of the NPOs Tsurumi River Basin Networking (TR Net) and the Koajiro Outdoor Activities Coordination Council, to transplant daylily bulbs to a garden at DNP
Technopack’s Yokohama Plant. The joint efforts to protect
and cultivate the daylilies will be ongoing, with the goal of returning them to the Koajiro Forest.

Environmental 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, 2015 through March 31, 2016 (Environmental facilities are those considered as of March 31,
2016)(2) Scope of coverage: At DNP and among its domestic group companies subject to consolidated financial accounting,
26 domestic manufacturers and one distribution company (p. 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 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.

FY2015 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 and the effects of factorystreamlining. 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 renewal and continued maintenance of VOC collection and removal equipment andreductions in solvent use amounts. Waste emissions fell due to greater conversion into valuable materials, resulting in an improvement in unit consumption over the previous
year. Amounts of undesired 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 gained 92.0 billion yen year-on-year, reaching 570.8 billion yen and surpassing the FY2015 sales target of 400 billion yen.
(2) Business income from recycling undesired materials fell from the previous fiscal year due to worsening of the market environment. Consequentially, the economic benefits
calculated according to the basis outlined in (7) of the “Environmental Accounting Calculation Bases” on p. 35, i.e. “saving disposal costs by resource conservation,” were
negative.
Ongoing Efforts(1) Make further improvements in eco-efficiency through Production 21 Activities.
(2) Improve the use ratio of recyclable energy while systematically promoting replacement with energy-saving equipment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
