Initiatives to reduce the environmental burden and performance

Initiatives related to global warming/saving energy
In our production activities, we consume energy and create products. As a result, we emit CO2, a greenhouse gas. We are working to
reduce energy consumption in our production process with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions. In terms of investments in various
energy-saving equipment, we have systematically implemented changes such as changing our factory ceiling lighting to LEDs, changing
our transformers and air conditioners to high-efficiency types, improving efficiency by consolidating our compressors and changing to
inverter types, changing the fuel we use in our boilers (A heavy oil→Town gas), and renovating our steam pipes. We have also
implemented productivity improvements to improve energy efficiency, such as the establishment and renewal of new facilities.
In FY2018, our energy consumption decreased by 1.3% compared to the 1.1% increase in production volume versus the previous
fiscal year. In addition, our CO2 emissions decreased by 5.2% and our energy intensity improved by more than 2%, resulting in efficientuse of energy.
In FY2019, 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.
In FY2018, with the increase in production activity at our Saitama Factory, our total water resource input volume increased by 7.4%
year-on-year.Total wastewater volume increased by 7.7% year-on-year, and increased for the second year in a row.
In FY2019, we will review our use of water resources and work to stem this increase in water usage.

● Initiatives to reduce waste matter
We are committed to waste reduction in order to protect the global environment. In order to not only reduce waste generation but also
effectively use resources, we push forward reuse and recycling approaches.
In FY2018, the total amount of material input volume was 33,508 tons, roughly the same as the previous year.
Total waste volume increased by 1.2% year-on-year, but the final waste disposal volume increased by 46%. This is due to the fact thatsome of the waste that had been treated as recycled waste at the Saitama and Shiga Factories was no longer accepted. We believe that
one cause of this was overseas regulations regarding the acceptance of resource waste.

Initiatives to reduce the release of chemical substances
In accordance with the Law concerning Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR Law), we notify the regulatory authority of
the amounts of chemical substances that are discharged into the environment after their use in the manufacturing process and makeefforts to reduce them.
The emissions decreased by 21% in FY2018, compared with those of the previous fiscal year. The transfer increased by 12%.
Although most of the emissions are released into the atmosphere, the VOC processing equipment introduced at the Saitama
Factory has resulted in a significant reduction in emissions for the third consecutive year.

FY2018 Environmental Activities
Reducing the environmental burden - Installation of energy-saving equipment●Update to inverter compressors
We updated the compressors at our Saitama Factory to inverter type compressors. The
rotational speed of motors can now be controlled by the inverters.
Power consumption can be greatly reduced by suppressing the rotational speed of motors
when air consumption is low.(Updated May 2018)●Consolidation of compressors
We consolidated the air compressors at our Moka Factory A Building from four
reciprocating units of 5.5 kW to one screw-type inverter control type of 22 kW. Since air isdischarged under the control of a pressure sensor and the inverter to keep the pressure
constant, the output at low loads such as at night is reduced compared with the previous
equipment, improving energy efficiency. This measure delivers a reduction of 8 kl of crude
oil-equivalent per year.(Updated March 2019)11

FY2018 Environmental Activities
Reducing the environmental burden - Installation of energy-saving equipment●Introduction of high-efficiency boilers
At our Moka Factory, we updated our A heavy oil steam boiler to a town gas steam boiler.
Compared to the previous steam boiler, we have greatly improved energy efficiency by
improving combustion efficiency through multi-position control and inverter control for the blower.
In addition, by converting the fuel from A heavy oil to town gas and improving energy
efficiency, we have reduced our CO2 emissions by more than 30% compared to theprevious equipment.(Updated February 2019)

Use of Tokyo Gas Steam fit●Reduction of steam loss
The C-3 coating machine at our Saitama Factory experienced steam loss due to aging andequipment failure.
We have completely renovated the steam piping equipment and significantly reduced theamount of natural gas used.(Updated February 2019)12

FY2018 Environmental Activities
Reducing the environmental burden - Installation of energy-saving equipment●Updated substation to cubicle typeAt our Saitama Factory, we updated our outdoor substation̶which had a high risk ofpower failure̶to a cubicle type.
At the same time, we updated the power equipment to the latest high-efficiency type toreduce power losses and CO2 emissions.(Updated May 2018)●Introduction of high-efficiency air conditioners
At our Shiga Factory, we renewed our air conditioners and introduced high-efficiency types
by utilizing the Energy Use Rationalization Business Support Program.
With the introduction of this equipment, we have achieved an energy saving of 10 kl ofcrude oil-equivalent per year.(Updated September 2018)

Toward less environmental burden - our energy saving initiatives●Visualization of steam consumption
Our Shiga Factory uses boiler steam for thermal energy. The measurement
result of the steam flow rate is monitored sequentially by the management
device, and the steam consumption is managed.
We predict the demand for steam in each area and use it to reduce energy losses.
(Updated February 2019)

Toward less environmental burden - Monitoring●IOT for wastewater treatment equipment
We introduced a monitoring device, a remote control device, and an alarm
contact device to our wastewater treatment equipment at our Shiga Factory. By
remotely monitoring and adjusting our wastewater use with these devices, we
can respond quickly in the case of abnormalities and reduce environmental risks.
