What We Need to Do Now as a Good Global Citizen: Contribute toa “Cool Earth” by Pursuing Innovation through the Integration ofIntellectual Power, Civic Power and Environmental Power
Globalization
Globalization refers to the mutual understanding of differences in national identity
and culture toward a more open world. It is of vital importance to recognize
diversity and strive to live in harmony with various peoples from around the world asa global citizen.
We are currently faced with a multitude of problems that require consideration
at the global level. These problems, which include environmental issues such as
climate change as well as issues related to energy, food, water resources andpoverty, cannot be solved without international cooperation, for which the creationof an open, moderate and common set of values will be achieved. That is exactly
what globalization is all about.

Jiro Ushio
Chairman and
USHIO Group Representative

Understanding Diversity Starts with Understanding Yourself
It is essential to know yourself before you can truly appreciate diversity.
The essence of the USHIO Group’s brand value lies in high reliability born from a
meticulous approach to perfection coupled with taking a genba (work site)-oriented
approach. It is as if a tailor with a good conscience pays careful attention to details
with every single stitch, even for the lining that is not always visible. That is what
ensures a top-quality and ultimately long-lasting product.
Although the USHIO Group’s production sites span the globe, we will nevercompromise on our drive for perfection or our genba-oriented attitude. Whenshifting from one era to the next, fresh concepts and new values may materialize,
but I believe the quintessence of the USHIO Group in placing a priority on reliability
will always remain at the fore.
Innovation
The most powerful means to resolve problems is innovation. Infused in this idea aretechnological innovation, management innovation and social innovation. Innovationentails invention followed by definitive action. With action comes innovation.
The USHIO Group pursues innovation by combining “intellectual power” tobring added value, “civic power” to build relationships of trust with society and“environmental power” to reduce environmental loads and save energy.
Making the Most of Leading-Edge Environmental Technology
I am a member of the International Organizing Committee for the Global Innovation
Ecosystem (GIES) 2008 international conference. GIES aims to resolve global
environmental problems by investing in science and technology, exchanging
information, sharing cases of success, spreading achievements on a global scale,encouraging governmental leadership and creating an effective research network.
Having learned from bitter experience in combating pollution and oil crises,
Japan has become a world leader in advanced environmental and energy-saving
technologies.
The USHIO Group, too, intends to contribute to a “cool Earth” through leadingedge environmental technology.

Promoting Expansion of Recycling-Oriented Business as aCore Business Strategy under Our Medium-Term Vision
We are faced with many challenges that we need to tackle as a global citizen inorder to continue our activities around the world.
Subsequent to celebrating our 40th anniversary in 2004, the USHIO Group
formulated a new USHIO Group Management Philosophy and 10 Guidelines
for Business Activities and also established the Environmental Policy aimed
at promoting sustainable management based on the triple bottom line of theeconomy, society and environment the following year. As part of our efforts,
we seek to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by gaining theacceptance of society. We aim to achieve this by enhancing the capabilities of ourhuman resources with a heightened awareness of corporate social responsibility,
maintaining a solid financial structure, advocating coexistence with society anddriving innovation with a focus on preservation of the global environment.
The effective period of the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gases commenced
in 2008, heralding the genuine onset of efforts to tackle environmental issues on
a global scale, including climate change. Such a time demands management thatfurther emphasizes reducing environmental loads and improving environmental
performance to fulfill our responsibility as a corporate citizen.
The USHIO Group was swift in implementing environmental management,
notably with environment-related initiatives in quality control. Proactive measures
successfully implemented to date include the development of products andproduction methods with minimal environmental impact such as energy-saving
performance, the creation of a product recycling system that incorporates thedevelopment of recycling process technology and green procurement for the use of
low-impact raw materials and components. We also have been promoting reduced
energy use and zero emissions in all business activities, starting with production
facilities.
The Sustainability Report 2008 introduces a wide range of such initiatives.
The core business strategies outlined in the Medium-Term Vision announced in
April 2008 seek to expand business by taking into consideration the environmentand resources. In recent times, there have been concerns over the future
procurement of scarce resources such as tungsten, molybdenum and xenon
gas that are indispensable in the production of lamps. This has prompted us to
use these materials more efficiently. We are also promoting a recycling-oriented
business in which we collect used lamps, reuse resources and ensure proper
handling for treatment.
These initiatives cannot be fulfilled by the USHIO Group alone. To enhance
effectiveness throughout the supply chain spanning procurement, production, sales
and services, it is critical to establish strong ties with all of our business partners.
Collaboration with relevant parties that transcends technological development andmanagement is also crucial in eliminating hazardous substances and switching toalternative products.
As company president, I remain fully aware of these corporate challenges andalways consider what needs to be done to help realize a sustainable society. We
aim to both be kind to the environment and practice effective management byleveraging mutually beneficial relationships with business partners and other relatedparties as a means to further raise the corporate value of the USHIO Group.
I ask for your continued understanding and support as we forge ahead.

Shiro Sugata
President and Chief Executive Officer(Chairman of the Environmental Committee
and Group Environmental Council)

Phase Two of USHIO’s Environmental
Action Plan (Fiscal 2007 to Fiscal 2009)

USHIO’s 2010 Environmental Vision
The USHIO Group has formulated the following environmental vision toward the realization of arecycling-oriented, low-carbon society.
• Improvement of environmental productivity* through the integration of environmental activities
and management• Expansion of performance improvement activities for environmentally conscious products• Enhancement of environmental risk management for products and production activities
This environmental vision is broken down in Phase Two of our Environmental Action Plan, and thefive committees covering separate environmental challenges promote related activities at each site.
* Improvement of environmental productivity
USHIO seeks to strengthen the connection between production activities (total productivity management (TPM)) and material flow cost accounting (MFCA), increase
productivity from an environmental perspective and create products and services that are competitive in the marketplace through environmentally conscious processes.
Specifically, we practice management that focuses on the efficient use of resources and energy in production processes and the creation of added value from an
economic perspective with a focus on waste reduction and recycling.

USHIO’s Environmental Policy
Basic Philosophy
We at USHIO recognize symbiosis with the global environment to be
one of today’s most important challenges for enterprises. We pledge
to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society by incorporating
measures for environmental protection into every aspect of ourbusiness activities.
Action Guidelines
1. We will make every effort to achieve our own environmental
protection goals in compliance with the laws, regulations andenvironmental rules both in Japan and abroad.
2. We will endeavor to reduce waste and the use of hazardous
substances, and to recycle and save resources and energy to
reduce environmental impact in all fields of business.
3. We will continue to work on the development and supply ofenvironmentally conscious “Lighting-edge Technologies andProducts.”
4. We will strive to prevent environmental risks, such as contaminationof natural resources by chemicals or waste.

5. We will improve our environmental management system
continuously through the regular audit of environmental protection
activities.
6. We will provide public information on our environmental
protection activities and make every effort to enhance the qualityof that information based on close communication and mutual
understanding.

Green Procurement

USHIO Responds to Market Needs with Environmentally Conscious Products

Activity Principles and Objectives

As measures to tackle environmental issues, the USHIO Group works hard to meet market needs in a number of ways suchas extending the life and improving the performance of lamps, reducing and eliminating the use of specified hazardous
substances and realizing further energy savings.
From a supply chain management (SCM) perspective, we aim to integrate management and the environment through our
products by making them more energy efficient and striving to reduce waste.

USHIO gathers information on chemical substances to be used during the product development stage and seeks to create a framework for
efficient information disclosure at all times.

Activity Outline and Results
A customer’s environmental requirements are viewed as quality requirements. Study sessions are held on an ongoing basis to increase
understanding among persons in charge in this regard. Relevant persons from respective departments regularly hold liaison meetings and areproceeding with reconstruction of a green procurement database and improvement in the framework for dissemination of information.

Halogen Lamps Efficiently Heat Up Wafers in the
Semiconductor Fabrication Process

Mercury-Free Rare-Gas Discharge Fluorescent
Lamps Using No Specified Hazardous Substances

Reconstruction of Green Procurement Database

USHIO developed a new technology to reduce power consumption by
30% in its halogen lamps for heaters in thermal treatment equipmentused in fabrication processes for semiconductors and solar cells.
Historically, a lamp contained one filament, but USHIO succeeded in
employing three filaments by devising a tube-like configuration inside
the lamp. The three filaments can be controlled to produce different
temperatures at both ends and the center of the lamp, thereby
enabling an efficient warming process. Promising applications
include improving the yield ratio by preventing uneven heating ofsemiconductor substrates.

Along with extending the life and improving the performance of lamps,
demand for environmentally conscious products that use no specified
hazardous substances in materials is growing. Mercury-free rare-gas
discharge fluorescent lamps developed by Ushio Lighting, Inc. emit
almost no ultraviolet rays and are driven by an electrode architecture,luminous tube production and xenon gas inclusion technique basedon USHIO’s unique optical technology. These lamps realize stable
illumination and all-round high-quality lighting.

Customers demand increasingly diversified environmental
responsiveness. This includes chemical substance survey forms
and a non-use guarantee certificate of prohibited substances, withcustomers requesting submission of RoHS analysis results as thebasis of response. For that purpose, USHIO is working to rebuild its
green procurement database so that every person in the company
can have easy access to and make use of past surveys and otherinformation.

Ordering System to Support the Management of
Products Containing Chemical Substances
Ushio (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (USZ) has a system that mandates
submittal of analysis data on raw materials and components prior
to purchasing. Regarding materials and components for which suchdata is not easily available, Ushio Inc. and USZ are working together
to improve efficient operations through ongoing discussions via
regular videoconferences and other measures.

Development of Environmentally Conscious Products
Activity Principles and Objectives

XEFL® rare-gas discharge fluorescent lamp

In Phase Two of our Environmental Action Plan, we formulated the following action objectives for fiscal 2007.
• Expand environmentally conscious product assessment standards at Group companies, including those overseas• Promote development of super green products• Expand lifecycle assessments (LCA)

Activity Outline and Results

Halogen Lamp with Mirror Increases LightFocusing Efficiency and Saves Power
Halogen lamps are used to enhance the appeal of products indisplays such as in shop windows. Amid rising awareness ofenvironmental issues, however, people demand greater efficiency,
energy savings and cost performance. Ushio Lighting’s new“ADVANCE” mirror-equipped dichroic halogen lamp series employs a
new compact filament design that increases light-focusing efficiency,
as well as a newly designed mirror that improves the efficiency in lightusage. These factors combine to cut power consumption by around
25% and reduce size by approximately 10% relative to conventional
USHIO halogen lamps. In addition, gradations and contours are
beautifully lit.

Supporting International Conferences on
Environmental Issues: 33rd ASEAN-Japan
Business Meeting
The ASEAN-Japan Business Meeting (AJBM) held in November
2007 was attended by 57 persons in managerial positions from 10
ASEAN countries and 64 persons from Japan. USHIO President Shiro
Sugata, who delivered a speech entitled “Recommendations forEnvironmental Corporate Management in the 21st Century: The Rolesof Japan and ASEAN” at AJBM in 2006, this time assumed the role asa session chairperson. In this capacity, he introduced environmental
initiatives undertaken around the world based on the theme “Regional
Cooperation to Cope with Energy and Environmental Issues,” which
stimulated a lively discussion.

In the development roadmap of the Engineering Department, we have included objectives related to the development of super green productsthat employ innovative environmentally conscious technologies and distinguish them from existing products. To further raise interest in
developing super green products among engineers, we designed a new logo as well as selected candidates for super green products throughassessments in line with set standards.

Implementation of Environmentally Conscious
Product Assessments
USHIO implemented environmentally conscious product assessments
for approximately 200 kinds of lamps in fiscal 2007. Approximately
100 items were newly recognized as environmentally conscious
products as a result of a 10% improvement in light warming-up
characteristics and a 5% reduction in weight.

New Logo for Super Green Products

USHIO’s “ADVANCE” series ofdichroic halogen lamps

USHIO strives to increase awareness among engineers and promote
the development of super green products that employ innovativeenvironmentally conscious technologies. With the aim of increasing
the appeal of these technologies to the public, we created a newlogo for super green products as a “self-declared environmental
label.” Super green products fulfill super green product standards(formulated in March 2006) and are top-runner products withoutstanding environmental consciousness in terms of energy
conservation, long life, 3R design, materials used and application.

The logo was selected based on an employee survey. It
embodies USHIO’s desire to contribute to the realization ofa sustainable society and expresses the willowy growth ofyoung leaves and the shimmering of a dew drop. It was madeusing a pen-touch method to give it a familiar look as well as
the feel of people caring about the environment.

Super Green Products
Flash Lamp Anneal Equipment
This equipment was jointly developed with a customer and employsa flash lamp anneal system for performing heat treatment in thesemiconductor manufacturing process. Considered a key process
to produce next-generation micro processing units (MPU), the flash
lamp anneal system enables processing within a low thermal budget,as it raises the temperature of an area of only a few micrometers on
the wafer surface, thereby reducing energy use by one-half to onethird compared with the conventional halogen
lamp-based method. Ushio Inc. jointly received thePresident’s Award in the “2007 Excellent Saving
Energy Equipment” category, presented by theJapan Machinery Federation (JMF).

Activity Principles and Objectives

Activity Principles and Objectives

USHIO set the following targets for fiscal 2007 under Phase Two of its Environmental Action Plan.
• Domestic Group companies: Maintain zero emissions status• Ushio Inc.: Reduce waste processing cost by 5% versus the previous fiscal year
• Implement a wide array of activities to enhance environmental productivity by introducing material flow cost accounting (MFCA) to
reduce the environmental load and lower costs• Expand product recycling• USHIO has set CO2 emissions reduction targets for fiscal 2007 in Phase Two of its Environmental Action Plan as follows.
Ushio Inc.: (1) Reduce energy consumption-derived CO2 emissions per unit of actual sales by more than 43% versus fiscal 1990 levels.
(2) Reduce CO2 emissions in logistics operations by 5% or more versus fiscal 2006 levels.
Consolidated basis: Reduce energy consumption-derived CO2 emissions per unit of sales by 1% or more versus fiscal 2005 levels.
• In view of the post-Kyoto Protocol era, we aim to reduce CO2 emissions per unit of actual sales by 60% in 2020 versus fiscal 1990 levels.

Activity Outline and Results
Activity Outline and Results
USHIO increased the effective usage rate of resources by 1.5% year-on-year to 98% (as of the end of the fourth quarter, fiscal 2007) acrossthe board. Three of our sites maintained zero emissions status on a quarterly basis while two sites achieved this objective intermittently. The
waste processing cost was reduced by 4% versus the previous fiscal year on a volume basis.

Toward Further Reduction of Emissions: Trial Runs
for MFCA
We introduced MFCA as a trial in manufacturing processes for shortarc UV lamps at the Harima and Gotemba divisions. This has enabled
us to understand the cost of material loss relative to investment by

weighting and by cost and the cost of system loss due to the wear
on equipment. As a result, we made steady inroads to improve
processes that generate waste.

Environmental Risk Management

USHIO has implemented core measures to curb global warming, including promoting greater visibility of actions, reviewing equipment andincreasing efficiency of operations and in transportation.
Ushio Inc. reduced energy consumption-derived CO2 emissions per unit of actual sales by 31% compared with fiscal 1990 levels, which
was short of our target. Although we actively implemented energy-saving activities with existing equipment, energy consumption increased
overall owing to operations in new buildings at the Gotemba and Harima divisions.
Ushio Inc. reduced CO2 emissions in logistics operations by 8% versus fiscal 2006 levels, thus achieving its target.
On a consolidated basis, we reduced energy consumption-derived CO2 emissions per unit of sales by 10% compared with fiscal 2005 levels.

Improvement of Efficiency of Energy Use
The Harima Division reduced energy consumption by 1.9% following
the reassessment of clean room operations. In addition, a powermonitor was set up in the production wing to enable precise
control of production processes and equipment, thereby improving
management of the level of energy use in each section.

Christie Digital Systems Canada, Inc. (CDSC)

The Christie Green Team has been running the “Power Down”
campaign since July 2007 with the objective of reducing power
consumption per employee by 10%. Regarding lighting, CDSC
optimized lighting at workplaces in line with industry standards,
and reduced the number of fluorescent lights by 1,000 withoutcompromising work environments. CDSC also shifted fromconventional switches to human sensor-type lighting in rest
rooms while turning off lights in offices outside of work hours.
The company also set the thermostat of all air conditioners at
24°C, a temperature based on the results of a survey conducted
inside facilities. Additionally, air conditioners were turned off
between 5:30 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
Efforts are also being made to use more energy-conscious
manufacturing machinery and OA equipment. Posters throughout
the workplace outline the measures taken and their results.
Awareness of the need to conserve energy at work has sinceincreased, with employees making a conscious effort to turn off
unnecessary lights. In March 2008, energy consumption was cut
by 9.6% compared with July 2007.
