Responsible Care Activities
Responsible Care Activities are voluntary activities for the companies which handle chemical
substances to implement and improve activities relating to environment, safety and health throughout
a lifecycle of products. (development, manufacture, distribution, use, final consumption and disposal)
RC activities were born in Canada in 1985. Since The International Council of Chemical Association(ICCA) was established in 1990, each country's chemical industrial association has started topromote RC activities depending on individual circumstances and based on common principles, andthis activity has expanded to 53 countries as of October, 2007.
In Japan, Japan Responsible Care Council (JRCC) was established in 1995 and the activities
officially started.

CSR Report 2018
Since 2008, we have issued CSR report annually to announce results of RC activities and to
improve communication with society. This is 11th issue of the report.

Safety and disaster prevention
Company-wide
Terminals quickly corresponded accordingly just when North Osaka earthquake were occurred in June
2018, by the result of monthly emergency training, re-examination of damage limitation, preparedness
against earthquake in view of the damage of Kumamoto earthquake and aftermath of the Tohoku
earthquake and tsunami.
We will enhance emergency training and rethink our BCP toward a company that has a high-leveldisaster-prevention system.
＊completed the seismic evaluation for dangerous goods facility (under the Fire Service Act)＊reviewed measures for earthquakes and tsunamis, and added measures for high tide waters, big winds
and cataracts.
＊reviewed our BCP (Business Continuity Plan).
＊In addition to drills for earthquakes, we decided to conduct drills for tsunamis, evacuationand safety confirmation (at least once a year). We installed satellite telephone for safety
confirmation.
Disaster drills and emergency contact training
All of the operating offices conducted these drills at least once a month with our subcontracting
companies. The Marine Department and the Transportation Department, in conjunction with our
subcontracting companies, have conducted these drills at least three times a year.
Additionally, all of the operating offices have organized the Fire Defense Organization for
Self-Protection. The operating offices in the Sakurajima and Hokko area and the Takaishi area
regularly conducted joint training with the Cooperative Fire Prevention Association and the Public Fire
Department. Our operating offices in other areas also regularly conducted joint training with the
Public Fire Department.also conduct joint drills with Joint Disaster Prevention Association in addition
to joint drills
Each of the operating offices conducted drills for disaster, such as drills for self-protection todisaster, and joint drills in 2018 based on annual drill's plan.
In respect of the Marine Department, the drills for accident at sea were conducted, and in respect of
the Transportation Department, the drills for fire or leakage were conducted based on annual plan fordrills. In addition, some operating offices conducted drills for disasters with the people in theirneighborhood.
Additionally, it performs the full cooperation to the request of the local fire departments, it
implemented the provision of training location and dangerous goods facility tour for the fire brigade.
We always prepare measures, just in case.

External audit : Renewal audit was conducted from October 11 to 12, 2018.
After the audit, renewal registration was approved by the Register Committee ofRegistered Probation Organization.
In 2018, we had the following environmental objectives and achieved them.
Three years plan : January 2017 to December 2019
１．Reduction of waste
２．Promotion of zero emission
３．Reduction of environment pollution by using KPI＊Prevention of marine pollution
Marine : Tanker ships have made an outsourced contract with the Maritime Disaster Prevention
Center to prevent marine pollution.
Land : Terminals which have jetties or berths join the member of the Committee for Oil Prevention
and Oil containment and Control in Osaka Bay and the Harima Sea. This committee is a mutualorganization for an emergency. We stock equipment for an emergency and we actively joinin educational trainings, table top exercises and share the contents to the whole company
by horizontal communication.
The General Manager of Environment Safety Department has served a director of the Committee
for Oil Prevention and Oil Containment and Control in Osaka Bay and the Harima Sea since thiscommittee was started, and he also serve a manager of newly established executive committee
since 2014.
＊Umemachi terminal has a facility to land washing water which occurs in washing operationof tanker ships and a facility to dispose the industrial waste.
This terminal land washing water of hazardous substances which are regulated under the
Maritime Pollution Control Act or oil classified by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport andTourism and operates the intermediate treatment of disposing industrial waste by oil separation.
This terminal accepts not only our company's ships, but also accept ships of other companies.
This is one of the few facilities in Osaka Bay.
We reduce environmental load by treating washing water of chemical tankers properly at
Umemachi terminal in accordance with related laws and regulations.

＊Hokko terminal has a washing facility (Cleaning station) of tank lorries and ISO containers.
This terminal enforces the washing operations of products such as hazardous substances
without affecting the environment by completely recovering Volatile Organic Compound (VOC),
waste water and washing water, and disposes them properly.
＊Kizukgawa terminal has the system to supply a power source to ships at anchor. Ships can turnoff the engine and it improve inboard environment and also reduce noise to neighborhood and CO2.
＊All tank lorries of Land Transport Department have tachometers and dashboard cameras.
Tachometers show the driving result by numerical data, and dashboard cameras record driving
situation visually. These functions helps the safety driving, improvement of fuel efficiency, andreduction of CO2 by turning off the engine.
＊We sequentially install pollution coating that reduce 97% of solar heat on the warehouses andtanks in each terminal.
By reducing the temperature in the tanks, volatilization of chemical substances and tankventilation are controlled, and VOC emissions are reduced. It is equally effective with air
abatement equipment by using insulation coating and atoms valves together.
It also improves freezing effect in low temperature warehouses and save power consumption.

windows. By improving cooling effect , we can save operating time and preset temperature of
air conditioners, and the power consumption is reduced.
＊We promote to replace the lightning to LED type.
The head office : Installation of LED for all lightning is finished in February, 2011.
Operating offices : Approximately 98% of lighting in the operating offices were replacedwith LED lightning.
※All mercury lamps in main terminals are replaced with LED lightning.
※The power consumption of LED lightning is about a quarter of mercury lamp's
and we can expect a major effect on energy saving.

＊We promote energy-efficient air-conditioners
The head office : All old air-conditioners were replaced with energy-saving type in 2011, andinsulation coating on all air-conditioner outdoor units are completed. We have reduced about 20%
power consumption of air conditioners. We reduced about 35% of all power consumption by
installing LED lightning and heating insulation on the receiving facilities.
Offices : 95% of old air-conditioners were replaced with energy saving ones and we completed
insulation coating on 80% of air-conditioner outdoor units .
We continue to promote the replacement of energy saving type air-conditioners and insulation
coating on air-conditioner outdoor units.
