Chemical Product Safety and Security Trade Control Initiatives
PolicyAs a trading company that handles chemical substances, we are strengthening our compliance structure to ensurecompliance with internal and external chemical regulations.
Specific Initiatives
Compliance with Domestic and Foreign Chemical Substances Laws and Regulations
When commencing transactions with a new trading partner, we use our own import/export consultation system todetermine whether the transactions all under Japan’s Export Trade Control Order or Import Trade Control Order as well as
the laws and regulations of other countries, and if so, to determine what actions must be taken. We conduct internal
screenings and maintain records of the results of those screenings. Only after these procedures are completed do weconduct the actual transaction. Recently, even countries that formerly were developing countries or less developedcountries have been enacting laws relating to chemical products. We obtain information on domestic and foreign laws andregulations from external organizations, share that information internally, and make investments for the introduction ofsystems to comply with those laws and regulations.

Environmental Impact Reductions
Policy1. Expand sales of environmentally friendly products
2. Build and establish chemical substance management and regulatory compliance systems
Specific Initiatives
Expand sales of environmentally friendly products
In FY2020, we launched sales of 56 new environmentally-friendly products (annual target of 30). Environmentally-friendly
products accounted for 18.8% of total sales.
Around 30% of products had themes relating to alternatives to substances subject to regulation, such as phthalates,
perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), etc.; approximately 20% can be expected to reduce VOCs or improve working environments
through means including the sale of compounds which do not use organic solvents, and reduction of the atmosphericrelease of gasoline; approximately 10% had the key words of “energy savings,” and can be expected to contribute to energy
savings, through means including facilitating reductions in the weights of parts and bodies, ultimately resulting in reduced
fuel costs and energy savings; while approximately 10% can be expected to contribute to reductions in waste. From
FY2022, the label “environmentally-friendly goods” will be revised to come under the umbrella of “sustainable products.” We
will focus more than ever on CASE, biofuels, biomaterials, etc., continuing to work actively with our customers to expand
sales of sustainable products.
