Message from the General Manager
On April 3, 2014, we completed the Denka Innovation Center main building, a facility
aimed at boosting our capability as the Group’s key R&D base. Since then, we havebeen engaged in full-scale R&D, with three new subordinate facilities bolstering our
R&D platform. Specifically, the Life Innovation Research Institute was newly founded
to reinforce our operations in the life science field—a potential growth driver—while
the Advanced Technologies Research Institute and the Infrastructure & Solutions
Development Research Institute were created by reorganizing the Group’s existing R&D
sections.
In addition to focusing R&D strength Groupwide, the Center has been positioned
as a hub for realizing open innovation, and thus promotes joint research projects
among industries, academia and public institutions with the aim of mutually facilitating
breakthroughs.
As we aspire to blaze a path to the future, we will take on challenges to create
epoch-making products and solutions while spearheading Groupwide efforts to realize
innovation.

We consider safety activities to be as critical as our R&D
activities. We have in place an environmental management system (EMS) that encompasses occupationalsafety and environmental conservation. In addition, theCenter has ISO 14001 certification, which it renewed in

Previously, we introduced regular safety patrols augmented bydigital cameras. In fiscal 2014, we strove to raise employees’
sensitivity to potential danger through the use of training
equipment that simulates hazardous situations based on
analyses of typical accidents, such as those attributable to alack of proficiency, slip
and falls and being caught
or pinned down bymachinery. Going forward,
we will steadily implement
safety assurance activities
to achieve zero-accident
status.

To deepen interaction with local communities, each plantparticipates in initiatives hosted by their local industrialorganizations. For example, they take part in cleanup activities while supplying container products for use in local
industrial festivals. We also began holding job level-based
training sessions involving staff from all three plants withthe aim of raising their awareness of social contribution.
