The impact of climate change is becoming more
serious year by year while the frequent occurrence ofstorms and flooding has recently had a significant
influence on the environment, society, and theeconomy. In this context, domestic and overseas
initiatives to achieve carbon neutrality are being
accelerated. Since last year, the COVID-19 pandemic
has been affecting the world tremendously. People
want a Green recovery from the pandemic, to returnto economic prosperity while conserving the ecologicalsystem.
DNP has formulated the DNP Group Environmental
Vision 2050 to present what DNP ought to be in 2050
to realize a sustainable society. We are accelerating
specific activities for the realization of a decarbonizedsociety, a recycling-oriented society, and a society inharmony with nature.
I To establish a decarbonized society, we are trying
to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions fromthe business activities of our sites by 2050,
conserve energy, introduce and update highefficiency equipment, and use renewable energy.
Additionally, we will contribute to the establishment

DNP provides battery pouches for lithium-ion
batteries and solar cell component products for which
DNP enjoys the largest market share. These packages
are partly based on plant-derived materials instead of
petroleum-derived materials. In addition, DNP will
increase traceability, commence information services
for resource recycling and thorough temperature
control during transportation, and further reduce
environmental impact throughout the value chain.

Message from the
Chairperson of the
Sustainability Committee

Responding to Climate Change andRealizing a Recycling-Oriented Society

Environmental
Activities Dataof a decarbonized society by preparing a strong
business portfolio, providing products and services
with low environmental impact and high added
value and developing low-carbon materials.
I
To build a recycling-oriented society, we arepromoting the more sustainable use of plastic
products and developing and introducing alternative
materials such as bioplastics and recycled materials
to ensure the efficient use of resources throughout
the entire value chain. We are cooperating with our
corporate partners, including our participation in
the Clean Ocean Material Alliance (CLOMA)
established to solve the marine plastic waste issueand develop recycling technology.
I
To build a society in harmony with nature, we
are focusing on the important themes of the
procurement of raw materials in consideration of
biodiversity and the conservation of biodiversity in
our activities.
Establishing environment-related business as oneof the businesses DNP will focus on its Medium-Term
Management Plan, DNP is developing products andservices with low environmental impact and highadded value while effectively using its strengths anddiverse partnerships for Printing & Information (P&I).

DNP is reducing environmental impact, with goals
established for eight items including the reduction of
GHG emissions and resource recycling. Regarding
the reduction of GHS emissions, a point we arefocused on, we reviewed the FY2030 target approved
by SBT in July 2018 as a milestone for the achievementof net-zero GHG emissions in 2050. We increased the
reduction percentage in comparison with FY2015
from 25% to 40%. In April 2021, the Science Based
Targets (SBT) Initiative approved this target as the one
well below two degrees Celsius.
Additionally, we are concentrating on increasing
the resource recycling rate, the ratio of material/chemical recycling to waste discharged by factories
and proactively developing products and services
that help achieve carbon neutrality.
DNP includes “environmental conservation and therealization of a sustainable society” as part of its Codeof Conduct, and takes into account the impact ofits business activities throughout the supply chain as
it works to reduce environmental impact. The
environment around businesses is radically changing,
and an array of social issues are becoming clear. DNP
will continue to create the value that people andsociety want while considering the harmony of its
business activities and the global environment as arequirement for moving forward.

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.
Sustainability 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.

Independent Review Report Comments
by an Independent Institution• Risk Management
The Sustainability Committee identifies, assesses, and manages risks related to climate change in light of businessplans from viewpoints of stakeholders’ interests, degree of impact, and possibility of influence at least once a year.
The Board of Directors reviews the risks and opportunities that are regarded as particularly important as a result of
the discussions and assessment of the the Sustainability Committee. The review meeting prioritizes activities andsets targets, and the results of reviews are reflected in management.
• Strategy
Risks and opportunities related to climate change are divided into two categories: risks associated with transition
such as tighter regulations for the creation of a decarbonized society, demand for low carbon technology, and morerequests from markets; and risks associated with the physical impact of the rise of the global temperature. DNP has
used scenario analysis to asses the financial impact and the period of impact of risks to identify the risks presented
by climate change and consider strategies to address long-term risks before the promotion of businesses.
Scenarios referencedl Net-zero emissions by 2050, the sustainable development scenario by International Energy Agency (IEA)’s
World Energy Outlook (WEO)l Representative Concentration Pathway scenario (RCP8.5) in the Fifth Assessment Report of theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

After analyzing scenarios, we predict that operational costs will rise because it is very likely that regulations on GHG
emissions will be tightened and a carbon-emission tax will be introduced for the creation of a decarbonized society.
Therefore, we are reinforcing the management base by visualizing environmental impact and modifying the businessportfolio in consideration of environmental impact and added value. To achieve net-zero GHG emissions from ourbusiness activities at our sites by 2050, we are increasing energy conservation and increasing the use of renewableenergy while setting targets to be achieved by 2030. We also expect that the expansion of demand and the market
for low-carbon products and services will accelerate, and businesses will need to accelerate their development oftechnology and increase their M&A activities. To respond to these changes, DNP combines the strengths of Printing& Information (P&I) and closely cooperates with outside partners to create value.
Establishing “Environment and Energy” as one of the growth areas in our Medium-Term Management Plan, we
focus on the environment and mobility businesses from the perspectives of profitability and market growth potential.
We project that our businesses will grow in fields such as as renewable energy, low-carbon products including
battery pouches for lithium-ion batteries, and security solutions for the sharing economy. We are also using more
green packaging, whose materials that are both environmentally considerate and convenient. Further, we areconstructing a recycling scheme based on cooperation throughout the supply chain and developing new recycling
technologies. We are promoting the use of management resources and strategic investment for the creation of value
in the businesses that are our focus.
Regarding the impact of short-term physical risks, we are arranging the management system to ensure business
continuity and enhance our responses to the disasters caused by climate change and managing the supply chain.

Formulation of a Long-Term Environmental Vision and Medium- and Long-Term Targets
DNP aims to realize a decarbonized, recycling-oriented society in harmony with nature by 2050. (The DNP Group Environmental Vision 2050)
To realize the vision, we used backcasting to set the 2025 Targets below.
Since the 2030 GHG reduction target (SBT approval) expected to be achieved as early as during FY2020, we set the bar higher so that it could be a milestone on the path
toward the realization of zero emissions in 2050. The SBT renewed its approval of the revised target in April 2021, recognizing it as well below the 2°C scenario (WB 2°C).
The previous GHG reduction target: 25% reduction from FY2015 by 2030 (SBT)The new GHG reduction target: 40% reduction from FY2015 by 2030 (SBT)

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
Sustainability 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 courses ofaction 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 Sustainability
Committee.

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 Sustainability
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 andalso conducts Eco-Audits to ensure full compliancewith all laws and regulations. Our compliance efforts
also include the establishment of and strict adherence
to our own voluntary standards (air, water, noise,
vibration, odor) and voluntary guidelines (chemical
substance
management,
soil
contamination
measures), which are even stricter than what is legallyrequired.
The DNP Group handles many chemicals in its
production processes. We have drawn up a Chemical
Substance Management Guide for chemical
substance handling, and have set up levees andemergency shutoff systems to prevent liquids fromoverflowing and installed two-tier holding tanks for theprevention of accidents at plants handling chemicals.
We also stock up on materials that can be used during
emergencies, such as oil absorbing sheets, and holdemergency response drills to ensure the proper
response in the event of an occurrence.
• Soil and Groundwater Contamination
The DNP Group conducts soil inspections based
upon our voluntary management guidelines. Whensoil contamination is discovered, we file a report withthe office of the governor or mayor in charge of that
prefecture or city, and upon receiving instructions
from the local authorities, we implement appropriate
measures for removing the contamination.
In addition to continuing the purification of pumpwater at one site in FY2020, we also inspected tanks,
waste storage sites and areas for storing equipmentthat handles waste PCBs to prevent soil contamination.

• PCB Storage
PCBs are currently in storage at 7 sites, with 14
condensers and 15 transformers for a total of 29 units.
The PCBs are contained in electrical equipment
formerly used in substation facilities at our plants.
Fluorescent lighting ballasts and other equipment
containing PCBs have also been placed in storage.
Storage consists of special containers in designatedstorage rooms at each site, managed under thestrictest conditions in accordance with applicableregulations to ensure there is no leakage or loss. The
PCBs in storage will gradually be disposed of as
required by law according to the disposal plans foreach region.

• Status of Legal Compliance
We have not received administrative guidance
because of the exceeding the standards etc. during
these three years. There are no ongoing legal disputes
involving environmental issues. We have unfortunately
had some complaints from areas neighboring ourplants concerning noise and odors. Whenever we
receive such complaints, we respond promptly bylaunching 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
contained in raw materials and products in use
throughout the supply chain.
DNP has put into operation a management system
in accordance with standards issued by JIS and the
JAMP Guidelines for the Management of Chemical
Substances in Products.
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.

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 FY2020, 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–
FY2019 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

Resource Recycling
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.
Waste per unit of production (Waste emissions: production volume)

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 FY2020 results: 8,240 [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

(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 the Reduction of Environmental Pollutants

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.

Air pollutant emissions• 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.
Atmospheric emissions of VOCs (domestic)
FY2020 results: 3,474 (tons)

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 formulated the DNPGroup Declaration on Biodiversity in March 2010. To
realize a society in harmony with nature, we minimize
our impact on biodiversity throughout the value chain
and work to ensure harmony with regional ecosystems.
We examine our relationship with biodiversity in ourbusiness activities, including in product development,
the procurement of raw materials, manufacturing,sales, use, and disposal. Our specific initiatives
are based on the following important themes: The
procurement of raw materials and the creation ofgreenery areas, both of which depend on ecosystemservices and greatly impact biodiversity.

Raw Material Procurement• Guidelines for Procurement of Paper for
Printing and Converting
In August 2021, DNP developed Guidelines for
Procurement of Paper for Printing and Covering tomaintain sustainable forest resources because in
DNP’s business activities, the procurement of paper
relies heavily on and greatly affects the ecosystem.
The guidelines stipulate selection criteria for suppliers
and paper. We try to use FSC®-certified paper andensure the traceability of paper to achieve full
conformity with the procurement guidelines.

Creation of greenery areas at business sites
DNP is promoting creation of greenery areas atbusiness sites to establish a connection with thesurrounding environment and its creatures. We canprevent the theft of animals and plants, overhunting,and overharvesting in the greenery areas of businesssites because entry into them is managed. The
greenery areas can contribute significantly to thepreservation of biodiversity with a low risk of
supporting the damage caused by invasive species
and natural predators. DNP is carrying out communitybased biodiversity conservation activities on thepremises of our sites, including the preservation ofendangered species and the creation of greeneryareas in light of regional ecosystems.

Ichigaya no Mori (Ichigaya Forest) renewed the certifications of SEGES and ABINC
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 of Tokyo’s Ichigaya District, which is home toits head office, as a central site for promoting such initiatives. As part of this urban plan, DNP is creating the“Ichigaya no Mori (Ichigaya Forest)” as a new urban forest, developing a diverse forest that primarily consistsof deciduous broad-leaved trees interspersed with evergreen trees in the image of Musashino’s thicket.
In FY2020, DNP renewed the certifications granted by the Organization for Landscape and Urban GreenInfrastructure and the Association for Business Innovation in harmony with Nature and Community (ABINC)
for Ichigaya no Mori (Ichigaya Forest). The former certification is called SEGES Urban Oasis, and the latter isthe ABINC Certification®. DNP was praised for the following
initiatives during the renewal process.
• High-quality large greenery areas were created at the centerof the city.
• Spontaneous initiatives for planting and managing plants
and trees can be observed: The staff are keeping a journaland have accumulated information about damage fromplant diseases and harmful insects.
•Projects are steadily being promoted for greening andmaintenance.
We will continue to construct an ecosystem network withthe surrounding greenery areas, and care for business sites
while contributing to environment.

Environmental Accounting
As an environmental management tool and as a tool for communicating with society, the DNP Group calculates and publicizes its environment-related costs in accordance with
the Ministry of the Environment’s Environmental Accounting Guidelines (2005 Edition). The scope of calculation covers DNP and its consolidated subsidiaries (more specifically,
manufacturing sites, development centers, office buildings and sales offices of manufacturing companies and a distribution company in Japan).
