Environmental Protection(Industrial Waste Reduction) In March 2023, the CO2 reduction target for
FY2030 was revised. The new target is a 32%
reduction compared to FY2013 (base year).
A 8.97 million tons (14.1%) reduction in FY2022
compared to FY2013, 2.73 million tons (4.8%)
reduction compared to FY2021 is targeted.
44% progress toward the FY2030 reduction
target has been made. CO2 emission intensity
index in FY2022 is 7.3 points higher than thatof FY2013 and 0.7 points higher than that of
FY2021.

We are working to reduce emissions of the three gases (PFCs, SF6, and NF3) during our production, and the amount of emissions (converted toCO2) of the three gases in 2022 was approximately 120,000 tons. From 2021 onward, the global warming coefficients are based on the IPCC Fifth
Report (AR5).

Environmental Protection (Industrial Waste Reduction)

Voluntary Action Plan for Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle Society for FY2021 and Beyond
Since FY2016, JCIA has been working to achieve the target of reducing final disposal volume by about 70% in FY2020 compared to FY2000*1 in accordance with the Keidanren voluntary Action Plan for Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle Society and we have been promoting efforts to achieve
this goal. On the other hand, the recycling rate of industrial waste has already reached close to 100%, and some waste is difficult to recycle. As aresult, the recycling rate has remained almost flat since 2010. It has also been pointed out that further reduction of the final disposal volume may run
counter to the realization of a low-carbon society, for example, by increasing energy consumption. Even under these circumstances, Keidanren willcontinue its efforts to reduce the volume of final disposal of industrial waste, the most representative indicator for industry in the formation of a Sound
Material-Cycle Society, by setting a reduction target for industry as a whole, based on the idea of not increasing the volume of final disposal from thecurrent level.
Therefore, JCIA has set the following new targets for FY2025:*1 Final disposal amount reduction rate (vs. FY2000):

Reduce final landfill volume of industrial waste to170,000 tons/year or less; andMaintain the recycling rate at 65% or higher,

FY2000 final disposal amount – FY2020 final disposal amount
FY2000 final disposal amount≒ 70％

and continues to work toward maintaining the current level.

Industrial waste volume in FY2022 was 3.835 million metric tons, down 38% from the base year of
FY2000. We are also making positive efforts to encourage sorting and reuse. In addition, the effective
utilization rate of resources including heat recovery,
which had been 43% in FY2000, improved to 71%
in FY2022 by not only strengthening recycling withthorough sorting of the materials but also aggressively switching from simple incineration to heatrecovery for items that are difficult to recycle. As aresult, JCIA members achieved a level that greatly
exceeds the chemical industry’s specific target ofincreasing the ratio to 65% or more by FY2025*2 inthe Keidanren Voluntary Action Plan for Establishinga Sound Material-Cycle Society ahead of schedule.

The final landfill disposal of FY2022 was 176,000
tons, which is about an 15,000-ton increase fromFY2021, which ended in a 67% reduction from thebase year FY2000. The reduction rate decreasedby 3 points from the previous fiscal year. The main
reason for this is the increase in the volume of transient industrial waste due to corporate mergers,
bulk sludge disposal, disposal of construction overburden, and landfill disposal of debris. In FY2019,
domestic disposal volume temporarily increased
due to import restrictions on waste plastics enforced in Asian countries. In FY2020, there was asignificant decrease due to the reduced economic
activity caused by COVID-19. After FY2021, thetrend returned to flat. In the future, JCIA members
will continue to strengthen cooperation with thevenous industry. Not only did we achieve the target
for the chemical industry, namely reduce final landfill volume of industrial waste to 170,000 tons/year
or less by FY2025, as per the Keidanren Voluntary
Action Plan for Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle
Society, but the reduction also helped lower waste
incineration volume. In additioin to reducing the final landfill disposal volume, member companies arestrengthening their traceability concerning proper
disposal of waste, through confirming the issuance,
recovery and verification of industrial waste manifestos, and the regular inspection of final disposalsites of contractors.

Environmental Protection (Prevention of Atmospheric Pollution and Water Pollution)

Prevention of Atmospheric Pollution and Water Pollution
JCIA members in Japan have significantly reduced their emissions of air and water pollutants compared to around 2000. In recent years, the rate ofemissions reduction has slowed, but emissions intensity has been declining. JCIA members comply both with regulatory standards and agreementswith municipalities. They also set their own voluntary management criteria, which are more rigorous than government standards, to intensify their ongoing efforts to reduce emissions.

Environmental Protection (Investment in Environmental Measures)

Investment in Environmental Measures
In FY2022, the sum of investments by JCIA members in the installation and maintenance of environment-friendly equipment, such as energy-savingand CO2 reduction equipment, and investments in the development of environment-friendly products and technologies amounted to ¥69.6 billion.
Thisrepresents a ratio of investment to sales of 0.32%. The amount of investment in environmental protection measures continues to be around 70
billion yen, but the ratio to sales has been declining for the past three years. The planned investments in environmental protection measures by JCIA
members have been steadily improvingtheir environmental performance.

was significantly worse than in 2021, when there were zero fatal accidents, and higher than in the chemical industry as a whole.

Frequency rates for JCIA members and their subcontractors in 2022
are below those for the manufacturing and chemical industries as awhole, but are trending upward overall.

Social (Regional) Dialogue

Implementation of Regional
Dialogue Meetings
JCIA’s Responsible Care Committee convened
meetings and maintained dialogue with regional communities once every two years in eacharea where there is a concentration of JCIA
member sites, especially chemical complexes.
In FY2022, with COVID-19 still ongoing, tworegions used the face-to-face method and six
regions used the document-based method for
dialogue.

Just about satisfactory
Somewhat unsatisfactory
Unsatisfactory

On a scale of 5, scores in the 4-point range
were recorded for all important items in the
categories of management system, environmental protection, process safety and disasterprevention, occupational health and safety, andchemicals and product safety. This shows that
the PDCA cycle is being implemented at a highrate in these categories. For distribution safety,
issues remain in the identification of significant
environmental aspects, objectives, plans, education and training, and response to emergency situations, and inspection/monitoring, but
the rest were in the 4-point range. Regarding
social dialogue, there are still many issues tobe addressed in all items except for the policy.
The overall low score for social dialogue may
be due to the fact that the effects of COVID-19
are still present and not enough opportunities
for dialogue have been created.
