Satoru Inoue

First of all, I would like to extend my condolences to thevictims of COVID-19, their families and people aroundthem, and my thoughts are with those who are now
fighting infection and those whose daily lives are affectedby the pandemic. I would also like to express my deep
appreciation for all people who are making committed
efforts to prevent the spread of the virus.

Responding to Climate Change andRealizing a Recycling-Oriented 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.
As environmental risks, we recognize that responding
to climate change and building a recycling-oriented
society are urgent issues and are implementing priority
initiatives in these areas.
In March 2020, we formulated the DNP Group
Environmental Vision 2050, which shows our aspiration
toward the year 2050, and declared that we willproactively endeavor to achieve a decarbonized society,a recycling-oriented society and a society in symbiosis
with nature. Each and every employee of DNP will work
to realize the vision while maintaining a strong awarenessof our relationship with the environment in every
business. With COVID-19 currently causing significant
economic impact on the entire society, we are determined
not to slow down and to even strengthen environmental
activities, which DNP has promoted to date.
As a response to climate change, we will identify
risks and opportunities for our business and assess thefinancial impact of climate change by performing
scenario analysis. We will strive to achieve effective netzero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from businessactivities at our own sites by 2050 and aim to contributeto the creation of a decarbonized society through our
products and services. The results of scenario analysis
and our strategies are disclosed in our Environmental
and Integrated Reports in accordance with therecommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related
Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
As we work to build a recycling-oriented society,
we are focusing on product designs that emphasize
resource-savings and high recyclability, using sustainable
raw materials and biomass materials and participating inrecycling-related initiatives. As a company that handles

numerous plastic products, DNP seriously addresses
the problem of marine plastic waste, which is emerging
as a major global issue. As part of these efforts, DNP is
participating in groups that were established to help
solve the problem of marine plastic waste, such as Japan
Clean Ocean Material Alliance (CLOMA) and Alliance for
the Blue, and is making proactive efforts to develop
technologies and create and implement structures forpromoting recycling. Furthermore, as a corporate citizen,
we are engaging in beach cleanup projects anddisseminating information on the status of seashore
contamination by marine plastic waste both internallyand externally.
DNP will continue to proactively undertake
environmental activities and help solve various social
issues, such as reducing environmental impacts andresponding to climate change through its products andservices.

Principal Activities in FY2019 and Future
Initiatives
DNP is conducting activities to reduce environmental
impact by setting targets in eight categories that include
GHG emissions and water usage. Regarding reductionof GHG emissions, a priority initiative, we have achieved
significant reductions up to FY2019 and will work toward
an early attainment of FY2030 targets.
As the environment surrounding companies isundergoing a drastic change with various social issues
becoming increasingly prevalent, in the future DNP will
strive to achieve further reductions in environmental
impact through our business activities and across theentire supply chain. Simultaneously, we will combine
DNP’s Printing and Information (P&I) strengths and thestrengths of our partners to create new value that will
help provide solutions to various social issues while
continually taking into consideration the latest trends.
In the future, DNP will deepen communication with its
stakeholders and work to remain a sustainable company
that is trusted by society.

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.

Risks and Opportunities
DNP has been promoting integrated risk management
efforts in order to minimize the negative impacts ofsocial issues and variable factors (risks). Whileconsidering the United Nations’ Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and other global issues
as well as environmental, social and governance(ESG) trends, DNP performs risk assessment fromthe perspectives of the interests of and impact on
stakeholders and the level of importance for DNP.
DNP’s risk assessment covers all countries andregions where it undertakes business. Among these,
we regard that Japan and Asia in particular areimportant regions in considering risks, as we have
many sites in these regions.
Based on the results of our risk assessment, as
environment-related risk, we recognize that responding
to climate change and building a recycling-oriented
society are pressing issues and we are promoting
priority measures in these areas.

Responding to Climate Change
The effect of climate change has been becoming
increasingly serious every year, causing a large impact
on the economy, society and the environment. Theinternational community has been stepping up its
efforts to build a low-carbon or decarbonized society,and this has attached greater importance to the roles
companies should fulfill. By striving to resolve various
environmental and other social issues, DNP intends
to make people’s daily lives sustainable, safe andsecure, and at the same time, create value that is
unique to DNP and meets people’s expectations. We
place particular emphasis on responding to climatechange as an important management challenge andwill proactively engage in TAIWA (“dialogue”) withstakeholders by disclosing information on our relevant
efforts through the framework recommended by the
Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures(TCFD).

Curbing consumption of natural resources andreducing impacts on the environment are essential forbuilding a recycling-oriented society. An increase in
the discharge of waste materials accompanying global
population increases and economic development isaffecting oceans and there are concerns about the
impact 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
participating in the Japan Clean Ocean Material
Alliance (CLOMA) and Alliance for the Blue, which arecollaborative groups of companies for solving the problemof marine plastic waste, and proactively carrying out
activities for using sustainable plastic materials anddeveloping and introducing alternative materials.

by an Independent Institution• Strategy
Climate change-related risks and opportunities include those related to the shift toward building a decarbonizedsociety, such as the establishment of an international framework following the effectuation of the Paris Agreement,
enforcement of more stringent legal regulations on GHG emissions and growing demand for and market interest in
low-carbon technologies, and those related to physical effects resulting from rising temperatures. As an effort toidentify risks caused by climate change and examine strategies to prepare for long-term risks, DNP performs
scenario analysis to assess the financial impact and duration during which we will be exposed to the impact.

The CSR & Environmental Committee identifies climatechange-related risks based on our short- and mediumterm business plans and from the perspectives of theinterests of stakeholders, degree of impact of climatechange on business and probability of the occurrenceof such an impact. Risk assessment and management
are performed at least more than once a year toprioritize activities and define targets.
*For details of analysis using the TCFD framework:
DNP Group Integrated Report 2020 (pages 46–49)• Scenario Analysis
Based on the scenario analysis results, we recognize that, toward building a decarbonized society, more stringent
regulations on GHG emissions and increased carbon tax are likely and that a rise in operational costs is expected.
The demand and market for low-carbon products and services, on the other hand, will grow further, pushing up theneed for accelerated technology development and mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
The building of a decarbonized society is one goal of DNP’s long-term environmental vision. In order to achieveeffective net-zero GHG emissions from business activities at our own sites, we are undertaking systematic reduction
activities and promoting the introduction of renewable energy.
Our Medium-Term Management Plan identifies “Environment and Energy” as one of the growth areas and specifies
environment-related, mobility and other businesses as our focus businesses based on two factors, namely profitability
and market growth potential. We expect future business expansion for low-carbon products, such as those related torenewable energy and battery pouches for lithium-ion batteries, and for security solutions for automated driving.
Moreover, DNP has been increasing the lineup of containers and packaging that are both environmentally conscious
and convenient and joining collaborative efforts of the entire supply chain to establish a recycling system and develop
new recycling technologies. We are also channeling management resources and promoting strategic investment plans
for reinforcing our management foundation that underpins value creation in these focus businesses.
Additionally, in dealing with the impact of short-term physical risks, we have set up a business continuity
management structure and have been reinforcing response to disasters caused by climate change and enhancing
supply chain management.
• Targets and Indicators Related pages: 16, 18 and 21–23
DNP has defined the following targets for maximizing opportunities and minimizing risks resulting from climatechange.
Maximizing opportunities:
Value creation

Under the Medium-Term Management Plan, we will work to expand our focus businesses andcontribute to the creation of a decarbonized society through our products and services.

Minimizing risks: Foundation ofbusiness activities

We will reduce GHG emissions from business activities at our own sites.
Medium-term reduction target: To achieve a reduction of 25% from FY2015 levels by 2030
Long-term environmental vision: To achieve effective net-zero emissions by 2050

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 & Environmental Committee Office as aframework. We also execute the “Plan-Do-CheckAct” 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 &Environmental Committee.
The CSR & Environmental 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.

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 &Environmental Committee.
*
We will endeavor to prevent the spread of COVID-19, examining the
optimal work flow, including remote working, and conduct eco-audits asnecessary.

Environmental Management Structure

Environmental Risk Management
The DNP Group publishes regular Eco-Reports, which
cover trends in environmental regulations and also
conducts Eco-Audits to ensure full compliance with alllaws and regulations. Our compliance efforts also
include the establishment of and strict adherence to ourown voluntary standards (air, water, noise, vibration,odor) and voluntary guidelines (chemical substancemanagement, soil contamination measures), which areeven stricter than 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, such as oil
absorbing sheets, and hold emergency response drills
to ensure the proper response in the event of 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 FY2019, 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 122
condensers and 10 transformers for a total of 132 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.

• Status of Legal Compliance
While we make all efforts to comply with environmental
laws and regulations, over the past three years we haveexperienced one incident in which air quality standards
were exceeded and improvement reports were
submitted to the government. There are no ongoinglegal 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.

• 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)

JAMP (Joint Article Management Promotion-consortium)

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.

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.

• Domestic fuel composition

GHG emissions volume (unit: thousand tons-CO2) GHG emissions in Japan due to electricity use, fuel use/combustion, burning ofwaste and atmospheric emissions 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 FY2019, the emission factor for each electric power company
is used at manufacturing sites based on the emission factor for each electric power utility (FY2018 results) (announced on January 7,2020) and a common emission factor is used for offices and the Bookstore Group. Overseas, the emission factor for each country isused based on the GHG Protocol (Ver1.0 of Compilation of emission factors used in the cross-sector tools) of 2006. (For FY2015–
FY2018 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 FY2019 results: 8,490 [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.

245,000 m³

Note: Hokkaido Coca-Cola Bottling and DNP Fine Chemicals use water in products.

Recycled water use in domestic manufacturing sites

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.

Reducing Water Pollutants
We detoxify and reduce the pollution load of thewastewater from our industrial processes and dining
halls by using purification tanks and wastewater
treatment equipment. We continue to conduct
measures, such as changing out the filtration
membranes and absorbent materials in wastewater
processing equipment, improving wastewater
treatment in our kitchens.

Environmental Management Activities—For the 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.

Although dichloromethane was mainly used for washingin the printing process, we have pursued a switchover
to substitutes and terminated using dichloromethane
for washing. At present, dichloromethane is used atsome sites including our laboratory; however, thedischarge concentration is extremely low.

Environmental Management Activities—Realizing a Society in Symbiosis with Nature

Biodiversity Conservation
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 conserve
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.

“Ichigaya no Mori (Ichigaya Forest)” Won an Award of Excellence in theSecond ABINC (Association for Business Innovation in Harmony with
Nature and Community) Awards (Urban/SC Version)
Currently, DNP is promoting the creation of “new value,” which solves
social issues and meets people’s expectations by combining its own P&I(Printing and Innovation) strengths and deepening cooperation withoutside partners. DNP is pushing ahead with the redevelopment ofTokyo’s Ichigaya District, which is home to its head office, as a central
site for promoting such initiatives. As part of this urban plan, DNP iscreating the “Ichigaya no Mori (Ichigaya Forest)” as a new urban forest,
developing a diverse forest that primarily consists of deciduous broadleaved trees interspersed with evergreen trees in the image of Musashino’s thicket.
“Ichigaya no Mori (Ichigaya Forest)” obtained an eco-certificate from the Association for Business
Innovation in harmony with Nature and Community (ABINC) in 2018 and then won an Award of Excellencein the Second ABINC Awards (Urban/SC Version) in January 2020. These awards are made once every three
years to ABINC certified business sites with facilities or green space which make a particularly significant
contribution to the protection of biodiversity. Ichigaya no Mori was highly acclaimed for the following initiatives.
1. Largest-scale green belt in an inner-urban district
As of ABINC certification, an area of approximately 6,000m2 within a redevelopment site area of around
17,000m2 serves as a green space which 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 and are helpful in planting management anddiscovering issues.

About ABINC Certification

ABINC certification is awarded based on third-party evaluation by ABINC for initiatives including
the creation, management and usage of biodiversity-friendly green space by business enterprises
on the basis of the JBIB Guidelines for Sustainable Business Sites and JBIB Land Use Score
Card compiled by the Japan Business Initiative for Biodiversity (JBIB).
