Satoru Inoue
Responding to Climate Change andRealizing a Recycling Society
The DNP Group is always looking to achieve coexistencewith the environment in order to increase the sustainabilityof its business. Embracing “environmental conservationand the realization of a sustainable society” as one tenetof our DNP Group Code of Conduct, we ensure legal
compliance first and foremost and are working to reduce
environmental impact by carefully examining the effectsof our business activities on the environment throughout
our entire supply chain. To undertake specific activities,
we perform risk assessment from the perspective of
impacts on stakeholders and DNP giving consideration
to such global social issues as SDGs as well as to ESG
trends. As environmental risks based on the results ofthis assessment, we recognize that responding to climatechange and building a recycling society are urgent issues
and are implementing priority initiatives in these areas.
As a response to climate change, we have set FY2030
targets for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
and in July 2018 we were accredited by the Science
Based Targets (SBT) initiative. Moreover, in March 2019
we expressed our affirmation of the recommendations of
TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures).
We are committed to maintaining transparency regarding
the risks and opportunities arising from our businesses

and will reflect these in our financial information andproactively disclose climate change information.
As we work to build a recycling society, we arefocusing on product designs that emphasize resourcesavings and high recyclability as well as on the use ofsustainable raw materials and biomass materials. As acompany that handles numerous plastic products, DNP
seriously addresses the problem of ocean plastic waste,
which is recently emerging as a particularly major global
issue. As part of these efforts, DNP is participating as
secretariat in Japan Clean Ocean Material Alliance(CLOMA), which was established to help solve theproblem of ocean plastic waste. Besides reducing
unneeded plastic, we are developing plastic alternative
materials and technologies, providing easy-to-recycle
products as well as proactively developing technologies
and creating structures for promoting recycling.
Furthermore, as a corporate citizen, we will also work to
reduce unneeded plastic and will promote sequential
initiatives such as reducing the use of shopping bags at
in-house stores and eliminating plastic cups at our cafes.
Through its products and services, DNP also strives tohelp solve various social issues, such as reducing
environmental impacts and responding to climate change.
In April 2019, the DNP Multifunctional Insulation Box,
which enables long-distance transportation at a constanttemperature without using a power source, earned the28th Grand Prize for the Global Environment Award, Grand
Prize. This prize was received based on acclaim for reducing
environmental impacts through high thermal insulation
performance and for enhancing transportation efficiency.

Principal Activities in FY2018 and
Future Initiatives
DNP has set targets in eight categories that include
reduction of GHG emissions and reduction of water usage
and is undertaking activities in these areas. Regarding
reduction of GHG emissions, a priority initiative, we haveachieved significant reductions up to FY2018 and aresteadily moving toward the attainment of FY2030 targets.
As the environment surrounding companies is undergoinga drastic change with various social issues becoming
increasingly prevalent, in the future DNP will strive toachieve further reductions in environmental impact
through our business activities and across the entire
supply chain. Simultaneously, we will combine DNP’s P&I
strengths and the strengths of our partners to create newvalue that will help provide solutions to various social
issues while continually taking into consideration thelatest trends. In the future, DNP will deepen communication
with its stakeholders and work to remain a sustainable
company that is trusted by society.

Risks and Opportunities
Based on its corporate philosophy, DNP aims toresolve social issues and continues to provide newvalue that meets people’s expectations. In doing so,
we will correctly recognize economic, social andenvironmental issues and risks and respond to rapidchanges in the business environment throughactivities directly linked to “value creation” and thoseserving as a “foundation to support value creation.”
As part of its “value creation,” through its products
and services DNP is working to provide new valuethat contributes to the attainment of SDGs. Additionally,
as a “foundation to support value creation,” we are
implementing measures that minimize the impact of
all assumed risks.
While considering SDGs and other global issues aswell as ESG trends, DNP performs risk assessment
from the perspectives of the interests of and impact
on stakeholders and the level of importance for DNP.
DNP’s risk assessment focuses on the countries andregions where it undertakes business. In Japan andAsia in particular, where we have many sites, theexpansion of business is one of our priority measuresand therefore we consider this an important region inconsidering risks.
Based on the results of our risk assessment, as
environment-related risk, we recognize that responding
to climate change and building a recycling society arepressing issues and we will promote priority measuresin these areas.

Risks and Opportunities
Responding to Climate Change
As transitional risk associated with climate change,
there is a high probability that the tightening ofemissions regulations will have an impact on theoperations of entire companies and their businessplanning. GHG emissions are particularly large inJapan, where we operate numerous production
bases, and we thus recognize that the introduction ofa carbon tax and the tightening of regulations will
have a major impact. DNP is implementing reduction
activities globally, including at overseas production
bases, under its GHG emission reduction targets andin July 2018 it was accredited by the SBT initiative.
Meanwhile, physical risk such as abnormal weather
will also have a significant impact on individual
production bases and we are promoting BCP
countermeasures and related initiatives, including
flooding and flood-control measures at production
bases in Asia.

Identified Issues

We are also responding to climate change from avariety of other perspectives such as product provision
strategies linked to market interests.
Taking into consideration the Special Report on
Global Warming of 1.5°C published by theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in
October 2018, we are undertaking further reduction
activities that include reviewing targets and expanding
the use of renewable energy. DNP also affirms therecommendations of the TCFD and will analyze thebusiness risks and business opportunities arisingfrom climate change over the medium and long terms.
At the same time, we will reflect these in our businessstrategies and proactively disclose this climatechange-related information and thereby contribute to
the realization of a sustainable society.

Building a Recycling Society
Curbing consumption of natural resources and reducing
impacts on the environment are essential for buildinga recycling society. Presently, increased discharge of
waste materials accompanying global population
increases and economic development is affecting
oceans and there are concerns about the impacts ofocean waste materials on marine ecosystems.
DNP uses paper and plastics as raw materials andbelieves that extensive resource recycling throughout
the entire product lifecycle is important. We are
improving resource productivity, promoting recycling,
adopting product designs that emphasize resourcesaving and high recyclability and using sustainable
raw materials and biomass materials. We are also
proactively carrying out activities for using sustainable
plastic materials and developing and introducing
alternative materials. These activities include
participating as secretariat in CLOMA (Japan Clean
Ocean Material Alliance), a business group for solving
the problem of ocean plastic waste.

Environmental Management Structure

DNP Group Environmental Policy
DNP has prescribed “environmental conservation andthe realization of a sustainable society” as one tenet of
our DNP Group Code of Conduct and has formulated
the DNP Group Environmental Policy to link this Codeto specific activities. We consider relationships withthe environment in all our business activities andaim to reduce environmental impact and realize asustainable society.

The DNP Group seeks to minimize the impact our businesses have on the environment and supports
biodiversity, first by complying with environmental laws and regulations and also by recognizing
the relationship that each of our business activities has with the environment. In this way we hopeto create a sustainable society in a world with limited resources.
1. Each member of the DNP Group establishes and periodically reviews its own environmental policies andenvironmental targets, and puts into effect continuous improvement of its activities and the prevention ofenvironmental pollution.
2. For all construction projects, and before designing and commissioning new facilities, we carry out a full anddetailed environmental survey to assess the impact that the project will have on the environment to makeproper efforts to protect the environment. We shall also make aggressive efforts to use renewable energy.
3. When carrying out research, development, design, manufacture and sales of a new product, we consider
the impact of the product on the environment throughout its lifecycle, including materials procurement,
production, distribution, use and disposal, especially in terms of energy conservation, resource conservation
and reducing the use of harmful chemicals.
4. When purchasing raw materials, stationery and equipment, we choose items that are ecologically-friendly
and easy to recycle.
5. In manufacturing a product, we aim to comply with environmental laws and regulations, and moreover we
set up more stringent standards to reduce the emissions of pollutants into the air, watershed and soil, andto prevent unpleasant odors, noise, vibration and land subsidence. We are constantly improving facilities,
techniques and manufacturing processes to promote the targets of energy conservation, resource
conservation and the reduction of industrial waste.
6. When generating waste from business operations, we strive to achieve zero emissions by separating andrecycling waste as much as possible.
CSR-Environment Committee (March 21, 2000, revised March 16, 2010)

The DNP Group is a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact anda “promotion partner” of the Nippon Keidanren’s 2009 Declaration on Biodiversity.

Environmental Management Structure

Environmental Management System
The DNP Group created its own environmental
management system (EMS) in 1993, prior to the
publication of ISO 14001. Our EMS uses the twin toolsof Eco-Reports and Site Eco-Reports set up by the
CSR-Environment Committee Office as a framework.
We also execute the “Plan-Do-Check-Act” cycle every
six months.
The Eco-Reports cover trends in environmental
issues and changes in applicable laws, our coursesof action and how well the DNP Group overall has
achieved its targets. The Eco-Reports are distributed
to the Operations & Group Company Environmental
Committees and to every business site. The Site EcoReports document each site’s targets, plans andstatus of activities. The Operations & Group Company
Environmental Committees use the Site Eco-Reports
to gain an understanding of the situation at each siteand submit a summary report to the CSR-Environment
Committee.
The CSR-Environment Committee and the
Operations & Group Company Environmental
Committees carry out continuous improvement
activities through training teams, implementation
teams, liaison teams, etc. Progress is checked
through periodic environmental activities promotion
meetings.

Environmental Management Structure

Eco-Audit Content and Flow
We began implementing “Eco-Audits” in 1996, so
as to make our Environmental Management System(EMS) more effective.
Eco-Audits have the following features.
(1) Auditors are DNP employees with no conflict ofinterest with the sites being audited and who
possess specialized knowledge about products
and processes, which produces meaningful andobjective results maintaining an independent
perspective.
(2) In the Eco-Audit we place importance on on-site
confirmation of actual items. In addition, we pointout factors for which danger is projected andrequest preventive action when needed.

Preparation and notification of annual plan

Under this system, when an audit reveals that
corrective measures are needed at a site, a “Corrective
Action Request” is issued in writing and such actions
as necessary are managed by the CSR-Environment
Committee.

Environmental Risk Management
The DNP Group publishes regular Eco-Reports, which cover
trends in environmental regulations, and also conducts EcoAudits to ensure full compliance with all laws and regulations.
Our compliance efforts also include the establishment ofand strict adherence to our own voluntary standards (air,water, noise, vibration, odor) and voluntary guidelines(chemical substance management, soil contamination
measures), which exceed what is legally required.
The DNP Group handles many chemicals in its
production processes. We have drawn up a Chemical
Substance Management Guide for chemical substancehandling, and have set up levees and emergency shutoff
systems to prevent liquids from overflowing and installed
two-tier holding tanks for the prevention of accidents at
plants handling chemicals. We also stock up on materials
that can be used during emergencies and hold emergency
response drills to ensure the proper response in the eventof an occurrence.
• Soil and Groundwater Contamination
The DNP Group conducts soil inspections based uponour voluntary management guidelines. When soil
contamination is discovered, we file a report with theoffice of the governor or mayor in charge of that
prefecture or city, and upon receiving instructions fromthe local authorities, we implement appropriate
measures for removing the contamination.
In addition to continuing the purification of pump waterat one site in FY2018, we also inspected tanks, waste
storage sites and areas for storing equipment that
handles waste PCBs to prevent soil contamination.
• PCB Storage
PCBs are currently in storage at 15 sites, with 200
condensers and 15 transformers for a total of 215 units.
The PCBs are contained in electrical equipment formerly
used in substation facilities at our plants. Fluorescentlighting ballasts and other equipment containing PCBs
have also been placed in storage. Storage consists ofspecial containers in designated storage rooms at eachsite, managed under the strictest conditions inaccordance with applicable regulations to ensure there
is no leakage or loss. The PCBs in storage will gradually
be disposed of as required by law according to thedisposal plans for each region.
• Management of Chemical Substances in
Products and Raw Materials
Companies like DNP are being called on to properly
ascertain and control the chemical substances containedin raw materials and products in use throughout the
supply chain.
DNP has put into operation a management system inaccordance with standards issued by JIS and the JAMP
Guidelines for the Management of Chemical Substancesin Products.

Occurrences (causes, improvements andrecurrence prevention measures)
December 22, 2016
Tanabe Plant, DNP Technopack
Governmental water analysis → n-hexane extracted
substance content (animal and plant oils and fats) exceeded
regulatory standards for draining systems, so an improvement
report was submitted.
The likely cause was the discharge of oil content not captured by kitchen grease
traps. To prevent a recurrence we reexamined our cleaning procedures. After
implementation, we were able to confirm through water quality tests that thevalues met regulatory standards.

March 5, 2018
Tsuruse Plant, Publication Printing Operations
Official survey of VOC concentrations in exhaust air →VOC concentrations exceeded regulatory standards, and we
submitted an improvement report.
It was caused by a decline in the VOC absorption ability of activated carbon
used in the VOC recovery and treatment equipment. To prevent a recurrence,
we improved VOC removal efficiency by increasing the amount of VOCs
absorbed by activated carbon used in the solvent recovery equipment, andare now periodically monitoring the absorption capability of the activatedcarbon. We have confirmed that VOC concentration levels remain below
regulatory standards in the subsequent surveys.

JAMP (Joint Article Management Promotion-consortium)This organization promotes cross-industry action aimed at creating andspreading the use of a framework for properly managing information on chemicals contained in products and for easily disclosing and transmitting that information through supply chains.

• Status of Legal Compliance
While we make all efforts to comply with environmental
laws and regulations, over the past three years we haveexperienced two incidents in which air or water quality
standards were exceeded and in each case improvement
reports were submitted to the government. There are no
ongoing legal disputes involving environmental issues.
We have unfortunately had some complaints from areas
neighboring our plants concerning noise and odors.
Whenever we receive such complaints, we respondpromptly by launching a thorough investigation into
the cause of the problem and by working to make
improvements and prevent recurrence.

Environmental Management Activities—Achieving a Low-Carbon Society

Reduction of GHG emissions
Important steps that the DNP Group has taken leading to a low-carbon society include reducing theconsumption of forms of energy that generate CO2 (energy conservation), switching to low CO2emission fuels and introducing renewable energy sources.
In introducing renewable energy, in 2009 a solar power generation system was installed at DNP
High-performance Materials’ Izumizaki Plant, while in FY2011 DNP Ichigaya Kagacho No. 2 Building
and Tanabe Plant, DNP Technopack each installed solar systems with respective capacities of about
30 kW. Furthermore a 10 kW solar system has been installed at the DNP Ichigayatamachi Building,and in FY2015, systems were installed at the DNP Ichigaya Kagacho Building (36 kW), DNP
Ichigayatakashomachi Building (24 kW) and Sayama Plant (6 kW). We also currently purchase 1.86
million kWh of Renewable Energy Certificates annually to cover part of the power consumption usedby manufacturing processes within the Group (for printing, bookbinding and processing) and otherfacilities.

GHG emissions volume GHG emissions in Japan due to electricity use, fuel use/combustion, burning of waste and atmosphericemissions of HFCs/PFCs/SF6/NF3 are calculated based on the Manual for Calculating and Reporting Greenhouse Gas Emissions,Ver.4.3.2 (June 2018). For electricity emission factors in FY2018, the emission factor for each electric power company is used at
manufacturing sites based on the emission factor for each electric power utility (FY2017 results) (announced on December 27, 2018)
and a common emission factor is used for offices and the Bookstore Group. Overseas, the emission factor for each country is usedbased on GHG Protocol (Ver1.0 of Compilation of emission factors used in the cross-sector tools) of 2006. (For FY2015–FY2017 as
well, the domestic portion uses the same emission factor used in the fiscal years prior to the tabulated fiscal years.)*Scope 1 emissions attributable to transportation and distribution carried out by group companies are tabulated as Scope 3
emissions.

Environmental Management Activities—Building a Recycling Society

Reduction of Waste Products
To build recycling into society, we are engaged in efforts to improve resource productivity and increase the recycling of undesired materials. These efforts are premised on thewaste-free use of raw materials that go into manufacturing processes. Undesired materials are recycled as much as possible to utilize limited resources efficiently.
• Resource productivity
We use waste per unit of production as a productivity indicator and implement activities
which set out to create a resilient production system in terms of quality, cost, delivery
and other factors. In addition, we intend to reduce waste volume through the extractionof valuable materials such as waste plastic and waste oil.

OUTPUT• Reducing volume of water used
The DNP Group strives to reduce its water
consumption by conserving water, reducing theamount of water supplied to utility systems andincreasing the use of recycled water. In the Electronics
and Other segments that require a large amount ofwater, we are making particular efforts to reduce
consumption, such as optimizing the amount of waterused in manufacturing processes, refining eachprocess, installing water meters to eliminate loss aswell as increasing the recovery and reuse of water.
Water used FY2018 results: 8,680 [1,000 m3]

Water use by intake source (Unit: 1,000 m 3)

INPUT

The levels of risk and access to water resources differ
by country and region. Therefore, DNP carries out
surveys of water risk at its manufacturing sites,
including its overseas manufacturing sites. Basedon the results of these surveys, we take measuresthat include water saving and water recycling in
manufacturing processes as well as wastewater
management. Also, we implement flooding counter­measures in regions with a high risk of flood damage.

Use of rainwater in domestic office buildings, etc.
(Unit: 1,000 m 3 )• Use of recycled water
We are working hard to conserve water resources bypromoting a closed-loop system in which water isrecycled and reused instead of released. In this way
we have been able to cut down on the high volume
of water required for cleaning our products, airconditioning, and heating and cooling production
machinery.
We are also making effective use of rainwater in our
office buildings and other sites.

Environmental Management Activities—For Reduction of Environmental Pollutants

Reducing Air Pollutants
The Air Pollution Control Act regulates substancessuch as toxic air pollutants and ozone depleting
substances, including sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogenoxides (NOx), as well as volatile organic compounds(VOCs). These substances have an impact on healthand the global environment, causing problems suchas photochemical smog and ozone layer depletion.
We at the DNP Group are working hard to monitor
and reduce emissions of such substances.
• Reducing VOC emissions
Inks, solvents, adhesives and cleaning solutions usedin the printing process contain toluene and other
VOCs. The DNP Group’s anti-VOC measures not only
seek to regulate concentrations as required under the
Air Pollution Control Act, but also to reduce emissions
overall. We have been switching to substitute productswith a lower environmental impact and installing
equipment for VOC treatment and collection.

Environmental Management Activities—Realizing a Society in Symbiosis with Nature

Biodiversity Efforts
At DNP we understand that we gain many benefits
from ecosystems that are supported by abundantbiodiversity, and we believe that working to coexist
harmoniously and protect the environment is essential
for the Company to maintain sustainable growth.
Based on this way of thinking, we work to protect
biodiversity through our business activities.
In every process, including product development,material procurement, manufacturing, sales, transport,
product use and disposal of waste, we have examined
the relationship with biodiversity. We established
two key themes, both of which affect our reliance on
ecosystem services and seriously impact biodiversity—
the improvement of material procurement practices
and the creation of green spaces at our business sites.

Raw Material Procurement• Guidelines for Procurement of Paper for
Printing and Converting
Paper is a principal raw material essential to theongoing continuation of DNP’s business operations.
We are committed to the conservation of forest
resources and effective use of raw materials. To thisend, we actively use of products made using timberfrom thinned trees and FSC-certified paper. We areaiming for 100% conformity to our Guidelines for
Procurement of Paper for Printing and Converting for all
raw material paper products. We are also strengthening
our communication with paper manufacturers, sales
companies and other suppliers in an effort to assure
traceability.

DNP’s Ichigaya Forest Certified as SEGES Urban Oasis
Our Ichigaya Forest, an initiative to create a “new form of urban forest” on the premises ofour head office in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, has been certified as a SEGES (Social andEnvironmental Green Evaluation System) Urban Oasis by Organization for Landscape and
Urban Green Infrastructure. This is an accreditation given to companies involved ingreenery businesses that contributes to society and the environment.
Ichigaya Forest is a vast 6,000m2 green belt completed in December 2015 as a resultof a redevelopment project in the Ichigaya district of Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. Projecting animage of a forest of miscellaneous trees in Musashino, this is a natural forest filled withdiversity and interwoven evergreen trees centering on broad leaved deciduous trees.
Ichigaya Forest was recently certified as a SEGES Urban Oasis based on the high acclaim
for the following initiatives.
1. Largest-scale green belt in an inner-urban district
An approximately 6,000m2 area, or one third of the total site area of around 17,000m2, serves as a greenery
space that gives consideration to biodiversity.
2. Planting configured only with regional native species
The greening design gives consideration to the topography of the region and vegetation consists entirely of
regional native species from the Kanto region.
3. Diligent upkeep and management by employees
Biological surveys are implemented by experts while employees continually make daily visits and perform“awareness record-keeping” that emphasizes observations that are helpful in planting management anddiscovering issues.
4. Holding observation tours for neighborhood residents
We hold greenery observation tours for persons outside the company that include neighborhood residents.

About SEGES “Urban Oasis”

The Organization for Landscape and Urban Green Infrastructure examines greenery areas established or
managed by private business operators based on the three criteria of “openness to the public, safety andconsideration of the environment” and judging is performed by a third-party committee.
Comment from a SEGES judging committee member
DNP has prescribed a management policy of Today’s Innovation is “Tomorrow’s Basic.” I acclaim DNP’sefforts to share across the entire company its vision of creating a forest for the future and to demonstratethat it steadily implements initiatives for green space management against a background of the trustand expectations as a company it has built up in the Ichigaya community over the course of more than
100 years.
