FY2022 Initiatives to Reduce the Environmental Load
Initiatives related to climate change/saving energy
We consume energy to manufacture in our production activities. Our process emits CO2 as greenhouse gas. To reduce CO2
emissions, we are implementing initiatives to reduce energy use in production processes.
We make investments in various types of energy-saving equipment systematically such as switching plant ceiling lighting
to LEDs, conversion of air-conditioners and chillers to higher-eﬃciency models, installing inverter-controlled compressors,
modifying steam piping and introducing self-consumption type solar power generation facilities. Furthermore, we have
implemented productivity improvements to increase energy eﬃciency, including installation of new equipment and improving
in existing equipment.
While our production volume decreased by 1.3% YoY in FY2021, our energy use increased by 2.2% YoY and our energy
intensity worsened by 3.6% YoY at the result.However CO2 emission decreased by 0.1% YoY.
In FY2023, we will continue to increase productivity aggressively and install more energy-saving equipment to achieve
our goals.

Initiatives related to saving resources/reducing waste● Initiatives to Reduce Plastic Waste
The Plastic Resource Circulation Act was enforced on April 1, 2022 in response to the marine plastic pollution, climatechange and the strengthening of foreign waste import regulations.In accordance with the basic principle and policy ofthe law and also in line with the ﬁnal target on the total amount of ﬁnal disposal of waste in our medium-term businessplan “SOLID FOUNDATION 2026” , we promote the emission reduction and resource recovery of plastic waste by setting
a target for the eﬀective utilization rate.The eﬀective utilization rate in FY2022 improved by 9.0% compared to theprevious year due to the shifting from incineration and landﬁll process to the better methods such as thermal recovery
system.
In FY2023, we will strive to promote the emission reduction and resource recovery in order to continue the reductionof the total amount of ﬁnal disposal of waste. We believe that these initiatives will help to slow climate change andreduce biodiversity loss.

Workshop for CDP and TCFD in FY2022
We devised a new medium-term business plan "SOLID FOUNDATION 2026" in March 2023. In this plan, we set up“Climate change response" and "Initiatives for biodiversity conservation" as important items in environment-relatedﬁelds.
We believe that disclosing information to the ﬁnancial market about how risks and opportunities aﬀect our businessactivities related to these 2 items will lead to solution by ensuring transparency regarding environmental issues.
In FY2022, we worked to carry out the workshop among entire company (major oﬃces and all factories) and create
the opportunity to share the information for the purpose of establishing the foundation as a company bringing aﬄuent
life and aggressively collecting the risk and opportunity of climate change causing a big impact on our business activities.
In FY2023, in order to establish a foundation as a company bringing aﬄuent life to the people, we will further deepen
what we have learned from the workplace and try the concreated actions and information disclosure under our policy“For The Customer” .

●Workshop for “risks and opportunities”

It is the ﬁrst time to discuss the risks and opportunities related to climate change.Various opinions were exchanged
more actively than expected and it is possible to share our tasks in each site.We believe that it is precious time toconsider the sustainable corporate activities.

●Dealing with designated invasive alien species
Saitama Prefecture held a major survey to find red-necked longhorn beetles (Aromia bungii) byinviting participation from citizens. We cooperated with this survey and examined the trees on our site.
We confirmed the damage to cherry blossoms and plums on the premises and reported to therelevant local governments.
Red-necked longhorn beetles (Aromia bungii) are highly prolific, and their distribution is expanding
in the northern Kanto area. In addition to cherry trees, the beetles also attack fruit trees such as
Japanese apricots and peaches and could cause damaged trees to wither and die.

(Left : Male, Right : Female)

The larvae of this longhorn beetle feed on the wood of
the invaded trees and excrete brown excrement (a mixtureof droppings and wood waste). The outbreak of excrement
was also confirmed in the cherry blossoms on the premises.
Adults are 25 to 40mm in size and black color but
have a red neck.
It is designated as a specific alien species and it isnecessary to contact the facility manager and local
government. In addition, it is recommended to exterminate mobile adults as soon as they are found.

to bond materials onto containers, the “Lectraseal” is an innovative process for sealing material
for lid onto processed food containers that contributes greatly to maintaining product quality
for customers. In the ﬁeld of coating paper and ﬁlms, we are meeting ever-diverse customer
needs by making the most of our wealth of know-how and state-of-the-art large-size
coating machines. Our diverse range of the most advanced processing technologies allows us
to constantly meet the challenge of the “next.”
