Initiatives to reduce the environmental burden and performance

Initiatives related to global warming/saving energy
In our production activities, we consume energy to manufacture products. This process emits CO2, a greenhousegas. To reduce CO2 emissions, we are implementing efforts to reduce energy use in production processes.
As investments in various types of energy-saving equipment, we are carrying out systematic measures including
switching plant ceiling lighting to LEDs, migrating to high-efficiency equipment such as transformers, air-conditioners,
and chillers, improving the efficiency of compressors by centralizing them and adopting inverters, and modifying
steam piping. We also have implemented productivity improvements to improve energy efficiency, including
installation of new equipment and improving existing equipment.
In FY2019, our production volume increased by 2.0%, while our energy use rose by 0.7%, CO2 emissions decreasedby 3.9%, and energy intensity improved by 1.3% YoY, as we advance improvements in energy efficiency.
In FY2020, we will continue to aggressively increase productivity and install more energy-saving equipment toward
the objectives.

Initiatives related to saving resources/reducing waste● Efficient use of water resources
We have recycled more waste water from the washing and cooling steps in the production process in order to effectively conserve
water resources.
As a result of increased production activities at the Shiga Plant, in FY2019 total intake of water resources was up 101.7% YoY, rising
for the third year in a row. At the same time, total water discharge was down 2.4% YoY.
In FY2020, we will carry out activities to put a stop to this increasing trend in total water intake by reviewing unnecessary use of water
resources.

FY2019 Environmental Activities
Reducing the environmental burden - Installation of energy-saving equipment●Chiller upgrades
The Saitama Plant is advancing energy-conservation efforts through upgrading the chillers
used to produce equipment coolant water.
By upgrading four chillers at the plant in total, in addition to the two units in the photo below,
we expect to realize large-scale reductions in electricity consumption.

●Upgrades to high-efficiency transformers
During this fiscal year the Shiga Plant upgraded its 1,000 KVA transformers to high-efficiency
models.
Switching to to high-efficiency transformers has greatly reduced power loss and CO2 emissions,as well as reducing operating noise.

11

FY2019 Environmental Activities
Reducing the environmental burden - Installation of energy-saving equipment●Switching to LED lighting
While at the Moka Plant most lighting in the workplaces for individual processes, the automatedwarehouse, and the office already had been switched to LEDs, this year the switch to LED lighting
was completed by upgrading all remaining lighting, in corridors, warehouses, aging rooms, andelsewhere.

●Keeping down temperature increases through use ofheat-reflecting paintThe roofs of plant buildings at the Fuji Plant were painted in heat-reflecting paint. This hashelped reduce energy consumption (by 12% vs. FY2018, based on results in July and August)by restraining temperature increases inside the buildings caused by sunlight.

12

FY2019 Environmental Activities
Reducing the environmental burden - Effective use of resources●Adoption of IoT technology in industrial water receiving equipment
Remote regulating and monitoring equipment was adopted in the industrial water receiving
equipment, which is installed at a location removed from the plant (approximately two kilometersaway).
This has made it easier to secure stable water volumes and quality by enabling constant,remote regulation of water volumes received and checking of the turbidity of water received,
reducing waste of water resources as a result.

Water-receiving volume-regulating screen

Water-receiving turbidity-monitoring screen●Switching to overhead piping for fire hydrants
We identified corrosion and leakage due to aging of the water pipes used for fire hydrants.
Since the piping was installed underground, considerable effort was required to identify thelocations of problems. To counter this difficulty by simplifying the detection and inspection
process, we are moving forward on switching systematically to overhead piping for fire hydrants.
This not only will reduce consumption of water resources by preventing leaks but also will leadto savings on electricity costs by reducing well pump operation.

13

FY2019 Environmental Activities
Working together with the local community●Participation in trash pick-up campaign
Every year, the town of Taga, where the Shiga Plant is located, holds cleanup activities
around May 30 (gomi zero, or "zero waste" day), designated by Shiga Prefecture as a day
for environmental beautification activities.
We support these activities, and on Sunday, May 26, we conducted cleanup activities
along National Highway 306. Since last year, participants have worn orange vests toincrease their visibility.

Cleanup activities along the Seri River, organized by the town of Taga, also take placearound December 1, designated by Shiga Prefecture as the basis date for environmental
beautification efforts.
We support these activities as well, and on Sunday, December 1, we conducted cleanup
activities along the Seri River.

FY2019 Environmental Activities
Working together with the local community●Litter removal on roads around the plant perimeter
The Saitama Plant conducts monthly litter-removal activities on roads around the plant
perimeter. These activities were conducted 12 times during FY2019.

●List of trees planted
We prepared a list of the trees planted on the grounds of the Saitama Plant. Treeobservation and classification were conducted throughout the year.
