ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Environmental Initiatives Guided by the ALL SECOM Concept
A recycling-oriented, low-carbon business model
As a provider of on-line security systems since 1966, wehave consistently sought to incorporate consideration for theenvironment into all aspects of our operations. Such systems
provide advance protection against the loss of valuable
resources to theft or fire, thus making a significant contribution
to environmental preservation. Moreover, we are committed togreen procurement, which precludes the use of harmful chemical substances in the development, design and manufacturingof security equipment, as well as to environment-friendly

design, which ensures such equipment is energy- andresource-efficient.
We provide the security equipment used in our on-line
security systems on a rental basis, rather than selling it tosubscribers, and take full responsibility for its management,from installation to maintenance, replacement and collection
after use. This relieves subscribers of the burden of disposal
and facilitates efficient reuse and recycling.

Environmental management configuration
Environmental philosophy (formulated in 2005)
In accordance with our mission, which is to contribute tosociety through our business activities, and with the belief
that protecting the environment is essential to our ability toprovide security and peace of mind, we continue to promote
environmental initiatives in all areas of our operations.

 educing energy consumption and introducing efficient
Requipment
Our facility management strategy emphasizes ongoingmeasures to improve environmental soundness, cost
reductions and efficiency.
• We are contributing to global environmental protection
efforts by introducing energy-efficient equipment, whichhelps reduce CO2 emissions, into our offices, as well as bypromoting green procurement.
• With the aim of achieving total cost reductions, we are­striving to lower both procurement costs and running costs,
including costs for energy, for equipment and fixtures usedin our offices.
• We are pursuing improvements in efficiency to motivate
employees and bolster productivity.

We are currently implementing an initiative aimed atenhancing our environmental performance by replacing theapproximately 5,000 vehicles currently used in our securityservices business in Japan with models that meet standards
for low-emission vehicles set by Japan’s Ministry of Economy,
Trade and Industry, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transportand Tourism and Ministry of the Environment. As of March 31,
2012, this initiative was approximately 90% complete.

Environmental management committee initiatives
We have established environmental management committees at each of our 28 offices across Japan, each of which
is charged with promoting initiatives aimed at advancing
environment-friendly operations. Thanks to initiatives implemented under the guidance of each committee chairman andrepresentatives from the front lines, our offices continue toachieve steady reductions in CO2 emissions.
