FY2016 Environmental Activities
Reducing the environmental burden—activities to reduce emission amounts●VOC processors
We have installed VOC processors at our Saitama Plant. These processors purify volatile organic
compounds (VOC) emitted by film coating equipment, preventing atmospheric pollution. Since thesedevices collect and reuse heat produced in the purification process, they enable us to keep fuelconsumption rates low. (Operating from April 2016).

●Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO)
As part of the Shiga Plant’s efforts to reduce the environmental burden, we have installed regenerative
thermal oxidizers (RTO). Because ceramic heat storage materials are used in heat exchange, the heatcollection rate is high and a VOC removal rate of 95% or over is possible, making this an excellent
device in terms of both protecting the environment and saving energy.
The device breaks down VOC and odorous substances emitted by production equipment, andcontributes to the prevention of atmospheric pollution and improvement of the work environment.
(Operating from April 2016)

FY2016 Environmental Activities
Reducing the environmental burden—Installation of energy-saving equipment●Replacement of storage pumps
At our Saitama Plant, we replaced the storage pumps forindustrial-use water with the latest high-efficiency pumps.
These pumps have achieved a large decrease in electricity
consumption compared to the previous pumps.
In future, we intend to also renew other well storage pumps.
(Renewed in July 2016)●Inverter controls for conveying pumps
At our Moka Plant, we are using inverters to control rotational speed to ensure proper pressure andwater supply amounts in accordance with changes in load on the discharge side of conveying pumps.
Since the inverters were introduced in order to achieve large reductions in electricity consumption atnighttime and on holidays, when water supply amounts are low, we have been able to achieve anapprox. 25% reduction in electricity consumption. (Introduced in December 2016)

FY2016 Environmental Activities
Reducing the environmental burden—Introduction of energy-saving equipment/recyclable energy●LED lighting
At our Oji Plant, we are gradually switching the ceiling lighting from fluorescent lighting to LED lighting.
This has enabled a large decrease in electricity consumption compared to consumption with fluorescentlighting.
Moreover, since LED lighting does not emit ultra-violet rays or attract insects easily, it also contributes tothe stabilization of product quality. (Renewed in May 2016.)●Solar power generation system
Using available land at our Shiga Plant, we installed a solar power generation system with 374 KW
installed capacity.
Solar power generation is used throughout the world as a clean energy that does not emit CO 2 whengenerating electricity. (Installed in September 2016.)

FY2016 Environmental Activities
Working together with the local community●Environmental education activities through the Taga Town Astro ClubAt the request of Taga Town, we are operating the “Taga Town Astro Club” for elementary and juniorhigh school students in the town at the Dynic Astronomical Observatory (Dynic Astropark Ten-Kyu-Kan).
The club actively carries out environmental education activities in addition to astrological observation
activities using telescopes and other astronomical instruments.
In the summer and autumn of 2016, the club conducted a garbage clean-up along national roads in the
town area (Photograph 1); members then used the results of the clean-up to create a “Taga Town
Garbage Map” and submitted recommendations for reducing garbage to the mayor of Taga Town.
Furthermore, club member also collected garbage from the venue of the Taga Town Furusato Festival,
which was held in October, and held a “Garbage Collection Parade” where the amounts of garbage
collected and the extent to which the garbage had been properly separated were compared. In reward
for these environmental educational activities, the Astro Club was presented with the Shiga Prefectural
Governor’s Encouragement Award by the Governor in person (Photograph 2) at the Shiga Prefecture
Eco Club Exchange Meeting held in December.

FY2016 Environmental Activities
Working together with the local community●Activities by Dynic Astropark Ten-Kyu-Kan to support
Kumamoto Earthquake recovery efforts
Many people and various facilities suffered damage when the Kumamoto Earthquake struck on April 14, 2016.
Astronomic facilities (observatories, planetariums) in Kumamoto Prefecture also sustained major damage.
With the aim of providing encouragement to the people of Kumamoto by assisting such facilities, Dynic
Astropark Ten-Kyu-Kan joined forces with the Taga Town Astro Club, Ten-Kyu-Kan Tomonokai, and otherorganizations to carry out various support activities, such as sending joint letters of support for recovery; tying
wishes for recovery on bamboo branches for the Tanabata Festival in July, and sending gigantic end-of-year
greeting cards with wishes for recovery in December.
In addition to letters of appreciation from the Kumamoto Civil Astronomical Observatory and the several otherfacilities that were the recipients of the support efforts, we received reports that many children had been thrilledwith the facilities’ celestial observation activities, and their vitality had returned.

Joint letters of support for recovery from the Kumamoto Earthquake●Satoyama (countryside) preservation activities
Four of our company’s employees participated in the“fallen leaf raking” clean-up activities led by Honjo
Waseda Research Park at the Waseda University
Honjo Campus/Mt. Okubo. Raking the leaves
regularly enables the regeneration of plants that havebecome difficult to catch sight of and provides various
other biodiversity-protection effects as well. The raked
leaves are turned into compost and used as fertilized
on fields. (December 2016)８Photographs courtesy of the Honjo Waseda Research Park.

Initiatives to reduce the environmental burden and performance

Initiatives related to global warming/saving energy
In production activities, energy is consumed and products are created.These activities are accompanied by the emission of CO2, which isa greenhouse gas. In order to reduce CO2 emissions, we are endeavoring to reduce the amounts of energy used in the production
process and have set a target of annual reductions of 1% over FY 2009 CO2 amounts.
As part of our investment in various energy-saving equipment, we have been systematically switching overplant ceiling lighting to LED
lighting, replacing converters and air-conditioners with high-efficiency models, replacing compressors with intensive models, andswitching office lighting to LED lighting. We have also been improving productivity through the installation of new equipment andupgrading of existing equipment in order to enhance energy efficiency.
With regard to performance in FY2016, energy consumption and CO2 emissions increased over those for the previous fiscal year due toincreased production. Although we were unable to achieve our target, our energy consumption rate did improve over that for the previous
fiscal year. In FY2017, we will further promote improvements in energy efficiency and investment in energy-saving equipment as we strive
towards achieving our targets.

Initiatives to reduce the release of chemical substances
In accordance with the Law concerning Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR Law), we are endeavoring to reduce chemical
emissions in addition to submitting notification regarding the amounts of chemical substances that are emitted during equipment
usage.
We were able to decrease total emission amounts for FY2016 by 7.3% over amounts for the previous fiscal year, partly thanks to theintroduction of VOC processors (see related topics on page 4). The total amount of pollution shifting also decreased over that for theprevious fiscal year, albeit by a small amount. In future, we will make further efforts to reduce emissions into the environment.
