Following on from the Site Environmental Report detailing environmental
activities undertaken at individual group companies in 2003, the Ushio Grouppublished its first Environmental Report covering the activities of the entire
group in fiscal 2004. A year later, in fiscal 2005, we published the Ushio
Sustainability Report focusing on our economic and social activities as well as
our environmental activities. In fiscal 2006, the scope of this report was further
expanded to provide a comprehensive document covering the activitiesof all group companies operating within the scope of our consolidated
environmental management (see chart below).
As in the previous year, we have compiled a digest in English forfiscal 2007. It was published with the aim of providing more stakeholders
with a clearer understanding of our corporate stance regarding the global
environment, and a closer look at our environmental production activities.

Message from Management“Jintoku –managerial virtue” and“Shatoku –corporate virtue” are now more important
than ever for management and companies respectively.
Jiro Ushio
Chairman and Ushio Group Representative

Meeting any challenge with Ushio Power
Last year, I expressed my determination to implement CSR with reference to thewords of Joseph Schumpeter: “The key to corporate success lies in innovative
management, which requires putting inventions into action.”
I propounded the view that the key factors driving innovation are “environmental
power”, “intellectual power (intellectual productivity)”, and “civil power (social
productivity)”. In fiscal 2006, it was time for us to demonstrate these powers andsincerely fulfill our CSR. I still believe this to be true and I am more determined thanever to apply these strengths to face any challenge that arises.

Acting with a certain degree of trepidation
This year, with renewed resolve, I shall strive to implement those issues pertinent
to social contribution and environmental protection.
The key word here is “Zhan Zhan Jing Jing” [trepidation], an expression
recorded in the ancient Chinese “Shi Jing” [Book of Songs], a collection of poems
in which one verse reads, “Fearful! Trembling! As if peering over a deep abyss,
as if walking across thin ice.” Rather than implying that we should be terribly
afraid, this means that we should act calmly, with discernment, as when facing

a deep abyss, and behave with a sense of delicacy, as when walking on thin ice.
This is certainly true for a company facing the extremely delicate issues of social
contribution and environmental protection.

Ushio should be an autonomous, virtuous company“Autonomy” is a vital factor that I would like to instill in all Ushio employees. “Selfdiscipline” is the most essential aspect of CSR. Within the industry and corporate
structure, helping and standing up for others has always been an integral partof Japanese culture. From now on, however, we must be autonomous and havethe courage to admonish others if they break the rules. Adopting the attitude ofreaching agreement without solving the problem is an outmoded way of thinking
that is no longer acceptable in the modern world.
A corporation is not an organization created to satisfy the selfish desires ofmanagement. It must consider itself a public institution that contributes to society.
In that sense, we must ensure that managerial virtue is instilled in management
and corporate virtue is instilled throughout the company.
We will continue to pay heed to social opinion and look forward to hearing
your unreserved evaluation.

Creating new values by improving environmental
productivity with our partners.
Shiro Sugata
President and Chief Executive Officer
Chairman of the Environment Committee and Group Environmental Council

Improving environmental productivity with our partners
One of the toughest challenges recently facing corporate management worldwide
concerns the environment. As epitomized by global warming, this will be acontinuing theme for as long as we value life on Earth.
Regulations and standards pertaining to the environment influence corporate
management in various ways, and society now demands more constructive
solutions.
As a manufacturer of optical products for industrial applications, the Ushio
Group will continue to proactively practice environmental management, which it
considers to be as important as quality control, in anticipation of the future needsof society.
Up to the present day, we have developed and provided manufacturingmethods and products that place the minimum stress on the environment throughenergy-saving and other measures. We have also expanded our environmental
management practices with the establishment of recycling process technologies,
the procurement of environment-friendly materials and parts (Green Procurement),
energy-saving measures for all group companies, and efforts to achieve zero
emissions.
Through close cooperation with our partners to further improve environmental
productivity, our goal is for management to contribute to the development of asustainable society.

New values born from fresh ideas
One example of our constructive approach towards environmental problems is“Green Procurement”, which we are expanding not only to the procurement ofenvironment-friendly materials and parts (Green Materials Procurement), but also
to the entire supply chain, from manufacturing to sales. In the future, we muststrive for a qualitative enhancement of activities that cover not only measures toeliminate hazardous substances, but also the management and control of content
standards for such substances.
There are some products that, even though they contain hazardous
substances, are indispensable for society. When providing these products, it isvital to always make the correct decisions while bearing the global environment
firmly in mind.
This means not only making every effort to minimize the amount of hazardous
substances used, such as by actively seeking out alternatives, but also taking
into consideration opportunity cost and the future social costs of using substituteproducts.
Substituting non-hazardous alternatives for hazardous substances may
invoke higher production costs, yet can cut the long-term costs for society while
indemnifying the company against future risk.
Furthermore, setting the lofty target of simultaneously meeting environmental
requirements and realizing profitable operation will call for a review of materials,
production lines and the sales process. This in turn will increase the possibility of
the creation of new values born from new ideas. In other words, for a corporation,
environmental activities are in perfect agreement with economic rationality.
We recognize that to preserve the global environment and create asustainable society, planning and appropriate implementation of long-term
environmental measures are of the utmost importance. Naturally, achieving thisrequires that management has a precise view and understanding of society in the
future. We will actively work to protect the environment and meet our other social
responsibilities through “light innovations” and by contributing to the richness
and bounty of society, industry and lifestyles. Achieving this aim will undoubtedly
raise Ushio’s corporate value.
I ask for your continued understanding and support as we strive to reachthese goals.

USHIO’s Environmental VisionObjectives and Targets of Phase Two of theEnvironmental Action Plan (Fiscal 2007–2009)
Based on the fundamental principle of contributing towards therealization of a sustainable society through environmental production
activities in various areas of business, the Ushio Group has continued
to formulate specific activity objectives and plans since fiscal 2003
(Phase One of the Environmental Action Plan). In a proactive approach
we have also implemented environmental management, addressing
environmental considerations and reduction of the environmental loadwith respect to products, procurement and other areas.
With a vision that promotes innovation, we intend to continue meetingthe challenge of implementing our philosophy without compromise.

2010 Environmental Vision Aimed at Realizing
a Sustainable Society
From the viewpoint of supply chain management (SCM), the Ushio Group
has set its sights on the development of activities focusing on the four
major issues of energy saving, waste handling, the creation of greener
products and the reduction of environmental risk, and their integration withbusiness activities by fiscal 2010. To achieve these goals, we are identifying
whether issues require an aggressive or protective approach, and moving
ahead with the implementation of appropriate countermeasures.
1. Improvement of environmental productivity* through the integrationof environmental activities and management (aggressive)
2. Expansion of perfo r ma nc e i mp ro v em e nt a ct i vi t ie s fo r
environmentally conscious products (aggressive)
3. Enhancement of environmental risk management for products
and production activities (protective)

Implementing Structure
The Environment Committee and the Group Environmental Council, both
chaired by the company president, are the highest decision-making bodies
for Ushio’s environmental policy and planning.
Immediately below the Environment Committee are six specializedgroups. These give guidance and undertake specific action at all the sitesof the Ushio Group. Activities are developed through the Eco-Management
Systems Division and the Ushio Green Network to ensure that environmentrelated goals are met at every site.
The Ushio Group’s consolidated environmental management is being
implemented in accordance with this integrated structure under direct
executive control.

Ushio Inc.

The Ushio Inc. Lamp Company (Harima Division), Ushio’s major plant,
acquired ISO 14001 certification in October 1997, the year after it
was first published. Later, in line with operational reforms started infiscal 2002 to achieve total optimization, and the increasing demand
from customers for green procurement, all companies in the groupbegan working towards acquiring certification. With the acquisition ofcertification by the Ushio Inc. Head Office in December 2004, all of the
Ushio Inc. sites had received certification.
Group companies in Japan and overseas have also proceeded
to establish environmental management systems. In fiscal 2006,
Gunma Ushio Electric, Inc. and Ushio Korea, Inc. acquired ISO 14001
certification. Based in decisions made at the Group Environmental
Conference, each group company is taking steps to acquirecertification, moving steadily toward implementing EMS structures.

Future Efforts

From the establishment of environmental
management systems to enhanced groupenvironmental governance
The environmental measures taken by the entire Ushio Group
were brought together by the “Eight Items for Enhanced Group
Environmental Governance” deliberated and established by domestic
and overseas group company executives at the Environment
Committee meeting held in February 2005. Group companies in Japanbase their activities on the ISO 14001 standard, while those in othercountries practice procedures compliant with ISO or equivalent EMS
standards.
While each company maintains its own independent systems,
the Ushio Green Network is establishing its PDCA system in groupcompanies worldwide, aiming for the continuous improvement of its
business practices.

Introduction of the USHIO ECO-SYS(Environmental Performance Analyzing System)

to further encourage group EMS activities

To reinforce integration of environmental activities and management,
the USHIO ECO-SYS (Environmental Performance Analyzing System)[refer to page 15], is being implemented as planned throughout thegroup. This serves as a tool to revitalize EMS activities.
Based on the objectives and targets of Ushio’s Phase Two
Environmental Action Plan, every effort will be made to fully unify
environmental activities and management.

Green Procurement

Activity Principles and Objectives

Preemptive establishment of a management
systemTo achieve compliance with the European Union’s WEEE directive
regarding waste and electrical and electronic equipment, and the
RoHS directive and the China RoHS regarding the use of hazardous
substances in electrical and electronic equipment, Ushio is
strengthening both internal and external cooperation and establishing amanagement system in an all-out effort to reduce the risk of hazardous
substances and pollution.
Measures for six RoHS-designated substances were completed
by the end of fiscal 2005. With an aim to further reducing risk in fiscal
2006, internal and control was enhanced, and measures were taken tofurther boost cooperation with each of the group companies.

Overview of Activities and Case Examples

Chemical hazardous substance management
system establishment and regulation
To assure that products do not contain regulated hazardous
substances, there must be close cooperation between different
departments and divisions. At the Lamp Company, the roles of related
sections have been clearly defined, and a management system has
been established in line with a quality management system (ISO 9001).
With the cooperation of group companies manufacturing lamps,
the Harima Division, as the mother plant, together with all the business
units involved, has started operation with the same standards andsystems as closely related overseas group companies.
Elsewhere, production plants taking measures to manage hazardous
substances used during processing are implementing self-imposedmanagement in line with even stricter standards for the degree to whichthese substances are controlled than those stipulated in the PRTR Law*3.
*3 Pollutant Release and Transfer Register Law (Law concerning reporting, etc.
of releases to the environment of specific chemical substances and promoting
improvements in their management).

Coordination between suppliers andcustomers
In April 2005, Ushio joined the Japan Green Procurement Survey
Standardization Initiative (JGPSSI). After determining the individual
circumstances of the demands and requirements of both customers
and suppliers, in compliance with the JGPSSI guidelines (JIG)*1, a
new edition of Ushio’s Green Procurement Standards*2 was drafted in
December 2006, establishing a uniform set of guidelines for the entire
group.
As a further step to reducing the risk posed by hazardous
substances, in addition to sampling analysis previously conductedwith X-ray fluorescent spectroscopy, in fiscal 2006 Ushio designatedhigh risk materials based on the JGPSSI guidelines, and introduced ahazardous substance management system (supplier self-assessment
system).

Orientations at group companies

Future Efforts

Enhancement of the management systemby the entire supply chain
While keeping a close watch on regulatory trends concerning
hazardous substances, the Ushio Group is continuing to enhance its
hazardous substance control system throughout the entire supply
chain.

Environmentally Conscious Product Development

Activity Principles and Objectives

The development and provision of productswith low environmental load
Viewing concern about the environment as a business opportunity,
the Ushio Group is pursuing a strategy of aggressively developing andsupplying products that place less strain on the environment.
Rather than simply complying with environmental regulations
such as the RoHS directive, Ushio develops and designs products
following environmentally conscious product assessment standards
and guidelines. Careful consideration is also given to market andtechnological information and the opinions of customers as a positive
step to meeting demands, making a fresh departure from existingproducts with the aim of promoting the development of “super green”
products using revolutionary environment-friendly technology.

Overview of Activities and Case Examples

Towards environmentally conscious design
for all major products• As initially planned, by fiscal 2006, all major products wereenvironmentally conscious. Environmentally conscious productassessment has also been implemented throughout domestic groupcompanies.
• LCA precision for lamps has
been further improved andis conducted at the lamp
design and development
stages. The application of
LCA was also expanded toinclude analysis of power
supplies and appliances.

• A total of 59 products were certified as being environmentallyconscious in fiscal 2006, and efforts are underway to assure that all
products acquire certification in the future. “Super green” productstandards have also been drawn up and their implementation has
begun.
<Power supply of a high-intensity lamp for a liquid crystal projector>
The use of an external trigger system and smaller parts enables alightweight design and a 50% increase in eco-efficiency.
< Ultra-high pressure UV lamp >Electrodes using new technology extend product life by 1.7 times andimprove brightness by 15% for the lamp’s weight. Eco-efficiency isimproved by 91%.
< Excimer VUV/03 cleaning unit lineup >By extending the unit life, improving the processing capacity by 3.5
times and using hexavalent chrome-free plating, the eco-efficiencyof this unit, which is used during liquid crystal and semiconductor
manufacturing processes, has been improved by 70%.
< Upgrading a spot UV curing equipment with an environmentallyconscious design >Upgrading a previous product like thiswith an environmentally conscious
design effectively reduced environmentalload and increased eco-efficiency by40%.

Prevention of Global Warming

In its group-wide Environmental Action Plan, Ushio has establisheda target of reducing CO2 emissions from its sites by 10% or morecompared to 1990 levels (measured per unit sales) by fiscal 2006.
To reach this target, Ushio developed the following key initiatives toreduce emissions.
• Expansion of visualization of electricity consumption, together withthorough production facility operation management, the introductionof energy-saving designs and other production technology related toenergy-saving measures, and promotion of streamlining and overall
energy efficiency.
• Promotion of energy-saving efforts and adoption of measures toeliminate energy waste or loss on a site-by-site basis, spearheaded
by energy conservation groups at each site.
• Reduction of the amount of heavy fuel oil A used and review of newenergy supply systems with the aim of replacing existing systems to
reduce CO2 emissions.

Reducing CO2 emissions by 10% or morecompared to fiscal 1990 levels(For Ushio, targets and results are calculated for nominal emissions
per unit sales, but taking into consideration reduced retail prices andother factors, real emissions per unit sales were about 40% lower thanin fiscal 1990. As a result, from fiscal 2007 revisions for targets and thebasic unit are scheduled to comply with the standards of four electricaland electronics associations.)

Activity Principles and Objectives

Overview of Activities and Case Examples

Expanded visualization of electricity use andhigher efficiency
Promotion of energy-saving production facilities(Harima Division)
With the cooperation of the Production Technology Division, energy
conservation measures were included at the production facility design
stage. Energy meters and electric power monitors were also installedon existing equipment to enable visualization of electricity consumption
levels with the aim of reducing power consumption.
Improvement measures based in energy-saving diagnosis(Harima Division)
In addition to steady efforts such as onsite inspections by the energy
conservation subcommittee, improvements based on the resultsof energy-saving diagnosis by an electric power company were
implemented in numerous problem areas.
Elimination of a boiler using heavy fuel oil A(Gotemba Division)
A heavy fuel oil A boiler used for air conditioning was replaced withhigh-efficiency inverter type air conditioners with the aim of reducing
CO2 emissions.
Energy-saving measures are also continuing to be implemented andenhanced at other sites to decrease energy consumption.
However, at the Harima Division, which accounts for about 80%of the total energy consumed by all of the companies, with the startupof large-scale operation in the new buildings and increased energy
consumption accompanying production line relocation, by the end of
the fiscal year the target had not been reached.
9(Fiscal year)* The conversion factor of 0.555kg-CO 2/kWh used for calculating the amountof CO 2 emitted from the amount of electrical power used is based on the Law
Concerning the Promotion of the Measures to Cope with Global Warming

Future Efforts

Group-wide expansion of visualization ofelectricity use• Continued examination of energy conservation at the design andpurchasing stages, focusing on production facilities with the aimof switching over to more energy-efficient facilities.
• Examination and promotion of energy sources with low CO2
emissions such as solar energy.
• Expansion of visualization of electricity use with measures suchas the installation of electric power monitors to improve analyticalcapability and boost awareness of energy conservation while
reducing energy consumption.

Pursuing Zero Emissions

Activity Principles and Objectives

Zero emissions at production sites as apriority
Suppressing the generation of waste to reduce emissions and eliminate
disposal in landfills—these are essential activities if a recycling society
is to be realized. As the first step to achieving this goal, Ushio Inc.
is working towards attaining zero emissions* at its production sites.
Measures are also being implemented at the Head Office and otheroffices to assure even more effective usage, together with the promotionof aggressive steps to curb the amount of waste material generated andthereby reduce emissions, and efforts to reduce the environmental load.
Through these and other measures underway throughout theGroup, the aim is to lower the environmental load by reducing theamount of waste produced by the entire Ushio Group.

Efforts to share information among the domestic group companies
have also led to the development of countermeasures such as thiselsewhere.
Expanded UV lamp resource recycling(Harima Division)
Following on from resource recycling of large UV lamps started in 2005,
full-scale implementation of the same processing for small lamps has
begun. It is estimated that this will reduce the waste landfill rate to 1%
or lower, and zero emissions are expected to be reached by the firstquarter of fiscal 2007.
Review of disposal routes for resource recycling(Gotemba Division)
Entering into a contract with an agency that can recycle scrap quartz
glass that was previously disposed of in landfill has taken the division astep closer to achieving zero emissions.

* Zero emission is defined as an effective usage rate of 99% or more.

Information sharing with group companies
Efforts are moving ahead to establish a system enabling information
sharing with group companies using the USHIO ECO-SYS [refer topage 15].

Overview of Activities and Case Examples

Ushio Inc. is close to zero-emissions status—future measures for the group
The Yokohama Division and Osaka Branch achieved zero-emissions
status in fiscal 2005. Activities to achieve the same status were also
promoted at the Harima and Gotemba Divisions during fiscal 2006 but
they did not meet this target. However, the Harima Division is expected
to reach the target of zero emissions in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
At the Gotemba Division, with the decision to realize more effective
usage by separating scrap glass, which accounts for the better part oflandfill scrap, zero-emissions status is just a short step away.

Future Efforts

Emissions reduction at all levels includinggroup companies• As well as efforts to achieve zero emissions at the Gotemba
Division, company-wide measures have been enhanced to reduce
waste emissions. Introduction of material flow cost accounting
has been expanded with the aim of curbing waste where it isgenerated.
• Using the USHIO ECO-SYS after full-scale introduction in fiscal
2007, Ushio plans to reduce emissions at every level includinggroup companies through the promotion of the sharing of
information concerning waste emission status.

At the Head Office and Tokyo Sales Headquarters it is difficult toindependently appoint an agency to take care of recycling because
the office space is rented. Nevertheless, with the aim of reducing
emissions, in fiscal 2006 the use of reusable lunch boxes was firmly
implemented and expanded and positive results are now being seen.

Environmental Risk Management

Activity Principles and Objectives

Establishment and application ofEnvironmental Risk Management Guidelines
for the entire group
Viewing them as important corporate risk factors, Ushio is taking
steps to reduce and avoid environment-related risks. Environmental
management systems established and in operation at each site will be
reviewed and enhanced from the standpoint of group environmental
management.
Synchronize measures at each site.
Further enhance each employee’s feeling and understanding of risk.
Promptly consolidate environmental risk information at the Head
Office, share that information and rapidly respond when necessary.
Ushio aims to implement these and other activities clarified in theEnvironmental Risk Management Guidelines.

• In March 2007, to align environmental risk map levels, theEnvironmental Risk Assessment Method and Standards was
published as an accompanying document with the guidelines.
Based on this, environmental hazard at each site was assessed andenvironmental risk maps were created.
• The environmental manual was revised in line with the guidelines.
For example, it was clarified that periodic examination of regulations
should be conducted at least once every three months, andcompliance assessment should be conducted once a month.
Compliance assessment is reported to the head of the EcoManagement System Division at the Head Office as part of theinternal control compliance system and risk management system.
• At sites where the major products include ultra high-pressure UV
lamps, education and training is conducted for concerned parties
focusing on mercury as a significant environmental aspect. In March
2007, to reduce environmental risk and enhance safety and healthimprovement activities, workshops focusing on how to handle
mercury were held at the Harima Division for employees at the
managerial and above level.

Overview of Activities and Case Examples

Fostering a stronger awareness ofenvironmental risk
Based on the inauguration of the Environmental Risk Management
Committee and the establishment of the Unified Rules for Environmental
Risk Information in fiscal 2005, Ushio Inc. implemented even more
substantial measures in fiscal 2006.
• The Environmental Risk Management Guidelines, which include theabovementioned Unified Rules for Environmental Risk Information,
were established in October 2006. To assure a better understanding
among employees of the details of the guidelines, environmental
risk workshops were held from January through February 2007 at allsites.
• In January 2007, each site drew up environmental hazard maps inline with the guidelines.

Workshops focusing on how to handle mercury

Future Efforts

Application of guidelines by domestic andoverseas group companies
On March 7, 2007, the top executives of domestic and overseas
group companies gathered for the group Environmental Council
where the implementation of the Environmental Risk Management
Guidelines throughout group companies was verified. The guidelines
will first be applied at domestic group companies, with application
at overseas group companies scheduled for the middle of 2007.

Recycling in Japan

Activity Principles and Objectives

Reducing environmental load throughout aproduct’s entire lifecycle
Lamps, Ushio’s major products, are consumable goods. Customers
use them and then after use they are disposed of as the customers’
waste. As items that are difficult for customers to treat, particularly UVlamps which contain mercury, they must disposed of using designatedmethods.
Viewing reduction of environmental load throughout the entire lifecycle
as one way of contributing to the environment, Ushio Inc. aims to
reduce environmental load not only at the stage where a product is usedby a customer but also after it has been used and at the disposal stage.
The goal of recycling used UV lamps is the efficient use of resources.

An environmental conscious
products PR example
Ushio Inc. always promotes environmental conscious productdevelopment of products by office commendation and an exhibition
positively.
In addition, in the group company, an important point is put for the
spread of products promotion leading to environmental protection.
We introduce spread of digital cinema projectors promotion

Achieving an Ecological Balance

Activity Principles and Objectives

Promotion of environment-related information acquisition andcreation of a database
To perform environmental production activities efficiently they must be conducted from the viewpoint of environmental management. It is also
necessary to gain a clear understanding of environmental load if environmental management is to be promoted throughout the Ushio Group. We are
currently assessing environmental load for the entire group, and have expanded the range of investigation to include transportation in an effort tofurther improve assessment accuracy.

Future Efforts

Comprehend information for more effective investment
By gaining a broader, more detailed picture of the environmental load of Ushio Group business activities and the lifecycle of Ushio products,
and by making more effective investment in environmental conservation activities, the Ushio Group is further strengthening its environmental
management. To more effectively calculate overall environmental load in the future, the USHIO ECO-SYS [refer to page 15] is being introduced
and data acquired through the system is being compiled into a database.
The introduction of material flow cost accounting is another measure being implemented to meet the challenge of reduced waste,particularly with respect to manufacturing lines.
