Medium-Term Plan for Environmental Management Activities (Fiscal 2009–2012)
We are promoting environmental management activities at our Muroran, Hiroshima and Yokohama plants. Social
awareness has changed greatly regarding the need to deal with such issues as the mitigation of global warming,saving energy, and processing waste.
We are working to attain the targets in our medium-term plan for environmental management activities covering the four years from fiscal 2009–2012. In fiscal 2009, the opening year of the plan, measures were taken ateach plant to meet these targets.
With regard to the observance of laws and regulations, we implement environmental patrols at environmentalrelated facilities, plants, and other sites in the vicinity. We confirm that all environmental preservation-related laws
and regulations are being observed, and that the environmental management system is functioning properly. To
effectively communicate the results of the environmental patrols, we carry out employee training programs foraffiliates and collaborating companies, as well as at our headquarter.

Environmental Preservation Activities
The following section introduces some of JSW’s wide range of environmental preservation activities.
Reducing atmospheric emission of nickel compounds
At the Muroran Plant, we are working to ensure that atmospheric emission ofnickel compounds are within prescribed standards by making the necessary
revisions to operations, processes, and equipment, and through the introduction of new equipment.
Working together with the local municipal government since fiscal 2005,
we have created our own voluntary controls, and have been undertaking
various activities. In fiscal 2010, we started operation of a large scrap cutting
facility in order to efficiently collect dust that is generated during cutting.
Safety and disaster prevention activities
We regularly implement environmental patrols at each plant to verify management status and audit data relating to specific air- and water-related facilities,
pretreatment facilities, oil-water separation tanks and other facilities.

Community contributions
As part of our social contribution activities, we conduct a cleanup campaignalong the main streets in the vicinity of our Yokohama Plant in April each year.
The cleanup campaign is conducted along roads between a nearest Stationand our Yokohama Plant’s main gate. Employees collect empty cans and pickup plastic bottles and cigarette butts. The trash is then separated and disposedof. We intend this to be an ongoing activity.
