Dynic Corporation is aware the efforts toward environmental preservation are an importantbusiness challenge and believes it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to observe domestic andoverseas laws and regulations related to the environment and provide products with less environmental burden to the markets. To implement the concept in a specific manner, we will thoroughly
promote the following items in each of the stages, including development, material procurement,manufacturing, sales, distribution, and disposal.
(1) We will reduce the environmental burden in all stages of our business activities throughout the life
cycle of the products;(2) We will proactively make efforts to save energy and reduce waste, thereby preventing environmental contamination;(3) We will prevent risk caused by harmful chemical substances that damage the environment;(4) We will disclose information regarding our business activities related to the environment andproactively promote environment preservation activities, while acting in concert with local communities; and(5) We will implement education related to environmental preservation, thereby improving awarenessof the environment.
Yoshio Oishi, PresidentDynic Corporation■Efforts for Reducing Environmental Burden
We are introducing the manufacturing method that features less of an energy burden and implementing product design where resource saving and longer service life are taken into consideration; in addition,
we consider materials that feature less of an environmental burden and materials that are easy to recyclefrom the design phase of the product. In the manufacturing phase, we make efforts to save energy andreduce waste in the manufacturing scene every day, thereby contributing to the reduction in the environmental burden. In the marketing phase, we propose environmentally friendly products that reduce theenvironmental burden at the customer by using the products, thereby making efforts to contribute to theenvironmental preservation of the earth.

■Efforts for Countermeasures against Global Warming and Biodiversity Conservation
We are promoting countermeasures against global warming through our efforts for energy-saving
activities throughout Dynic, thereby reducing emissions of carbon dioxide. In addition, regarding the biodiversity conservation, we are making efforts toward coexistence with the global environment through ouractivities toward risks, including countermeasures against global warming.

Activity Status 2015
●ASSET Subsidy Scheme
In FY 2015, we introduced energy-saving equipment into the Shiga Factory by leveraging the ASSET
Subsidy Scheme (Advanced Technology Promotion Subsidy Scheme with Emission Reduction Targets).
The Scheme provides financial support for efforts to introduce advanced, high efficiency low-carbon
equipment, particularly to cost-effective projects. By introducing energy-saving equipment via thisScheme, we expect to reduce CO2 emissions by 421t/year.

●Heat Pumps
In an effort to save energy in the drying process, weinstalled hot air generating heat pumps in our factories. The
installation of heat pumps has allowed us to successfully
reduce not only steam consumption by steam heaters in thedrying process, but also power consumption by refrigerationequipment through a mechanism that enables the efficientuse of heat obtained from water in refrigeration equipment.

●Exhaust Heat Recovery Equipment
The Shiga Factory newly installed air preheaters toenable heat - which had been released from heat medium
boilers into the air - to be circulated and used for heating
combustion air. This has resulted in a significant reduction inboiler fuel consumption .

5Activity Status 2015
●High Efficiency Transformers
We upgraded the 750KVA transformers in the Saitama Factory to high efficiency transformers.
Enhancing the efficiency of transformers has led to a significant reduction in power loss, CO2 emissions,and operating noise.

●LED Illumination
The ceiling lights of the laminate building of the Moka Factory were upgraded from a mercury lighting
system to an LED lighting system, which has achieved an 80% reduction in power consmption. Moreover,since LED lights can be lit instantaneously and repel bugs and insects, they have contributed to theenhancement of work efficiency and product quality.

Activity Status 2015
●Local Contribution
The Dynic Astropark Tenkyukan on the premises of the Shiga Factory conducts not only stargazing
sessions at the Tenkyukan, but also traveling stargazing sessions for citizens by leveraging its astronomical telescope. It also holds “Stargazing Session for the Environment” in collaboration with Taga Town,
which has attracted many visitors.

●Satoyama Preservation Activity
We participated in the Fallen Leaves Cleanup Campaign organized by the Honjo Waseda Research
Park at Mt.Okubo on the Honjo Campus of Waseda University. Through this program, we experienced
first-hand the effect of satoyama preservation activities, such as the regeneration of endangered plantspecies via regular fallen leaves clearing.

In our production activities, we create products by consuming energy. As a result, we emit CO2, a global warming gas. With
the goal of reduction in CO2 emissions, we are making efforts to reduce the consumed energy in the production processes. We aredeveloping our activities under the goal of reducing the gas by 1% every year as compared with 2009. As investments in energysaving equipment, we have been implementing the replacement of ceiling lights (mercury lamps) of factories with LED lamps,
change of transformers to the higher-efficiency type, change of air conditioners to the higher-efficiency type, change of compressors
to the centralized type, and the change of lights in office buildings to LED lamps.
For the FY 2015 performance, the specific energy consumption increased, and we were unable to achieve our goal.
Moreover, CO2 emissions increased as our production increased, leading to a failure in meeting the emission reduction target. In FY
2016, we will continue our ongoing efforts to achieve our goals by further promoting the enhancement of energy efficiency andinvestment in energy-saving equipment.

Resource Saving/ Waste Reduction●Effective Utilization of Water Resources

Dynic is promoting the effective utilization of water resources and the recycling of washing and coolingwater used in the production process across the board. We have also worked to reduce water consumption by
decreasing the total water input and the total drainage volume. Consequently, compared to FY 2006, we
successfully reduced the total water input by about 26% and the total drainage volume by about 25% in FY 2015.

●Reduction in Waste
We are working on the reduction of waste to protect the global environment. For our activities, we have beenpromoting reuse and recycling not only for the purpose of reducing the total quantity of waste, but also from theviewpoint of the effective utilization of resources. Regarding the total quantity of materials used, we could achievea reduction of 10.1% from 37,129 tons in 2010 to 33,378 tons in 2015. Although the total quantity of waste wasslightly on the uptrend in 2015 and thereafter, the final disposal quantity of waste has been reduced year by year
as a result of promoting reuse and recycling, thus resulting in a reduction of 46% compared to 2006.

Reduction in Chemical Substance Release
We have been reporting the quantity of release of chemical substances in use into the environment according the PRTR system based on the Law concerning Pollutant Release and Transfer Register, and we are working
on a reduction thereof.
Compared to FY 2014, both the total quantity of release of chemical substances and the total quantity ofchemical substances moved slightly increased in FY 2015. In the future, we will continue our ongoing efforts toreduce these quantities by introducing VOC removal apparatus.

You can find the individual explanation of such environment-related products on our home page.
With “Contribute to society through environment-related products” as a key phrase, we have actively
promoted product development. Consequently, the percentage of environment-related products to sales
has been increasing since FY 2010. In 2015, however, the percentage declined by 0.6% compared to FY
2014, despite an increase in sales.
Furthermore, we think we will contribute to society by enhancing the occupation ratio ofenvironment-related products. We appreciate it if you would provide your opinions and requirements
regarding our environment-related products.
