Satoru Inoue
The DNP Group is constantly thinking about coexistence between our business activities and theglobal environment, and has included “Environmental
conservation and realization of a sustainable society”
in its Code of Conduct. We established a specializedorganization for addressing environmental problems
at an early stage, in the 1970s, and have since beenpushing forward with a range of initiatives.
Recent years have seen the acceleration of the climatechange problem, the shift to a circular economy, theloss of biodiversity and other changes that have led toconcern about the sustainability of the Earth itself. In
addition, risks affecting management of DNP (variablefactors) are becoming increasingly diverse and wideranging due to rapid changes in the social environment.
Given these circumstances, we believe it important
to assess environmental, social, and economic risks
from a longer-term perspective as we seek business
opportunities. For this purpose, in April 2022, wereorganized the Sustainability Committee into anorganization chaired by the president that is responsible for managing medium- to long-term risks, identifying business opportunities, and ensuring they arereflected in management strategy.

In addition, in March 2022 we revised the DNPGroup Environmental Policy that was established in
March 2000, to increase the environmental awareness of every employee. We have since been pushing
forward with our activities with a high level of environmental awareness throughout the supply chain, in
addition to our awareness of the importance of legal
compliance.
In March 2020, DNP formulated the DNP Group
Environmental Vision 2050 to present what DNP ought
to be to realize a sustainable society. We are accelerating specific activities for the realization of a decarbonized, recycling-oriented society in harmony with nature.
To establish a decarbonized society, we are trying
to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from thebusiness activities of our sites to net zero by 2050. In
addition to enhancing our existing energy-saving
activities, we are changing our business portfolio to
one with a low environmental impact and high added
value and introducing renewable energy. We are also
identifying new environmental themes and driving thedevelopment of technology for low-carbon products
and services.
To realize a recycling-oriented society, we have set
a goal of increasing the resource recycling rate, which

is the ratio of material/chemical recycling to waste wedischarge, and we are pushing forward with the efficient use of plastics and other resources. We are also
focusing our efforts on the more sustainable use ofplastic products, the development of products which
use alternative materials such as bioplastics and recycled materials and other initiatives.
To build a society in harmony with nature, we aretaking initiatives including the procurement of raw
materials in consideration of biodiversity and the creation of green spaces that consider local ecosystems.
The procurement of paper in particular relies heavily
on and greatly affects the ecosystem, so we developed guidelines in 2012 to maintain sustainable forest
resources and have increased our efforts to use
FSC®-certified paper and ensure the traceability of
paper.

Major activities for FY2021 andfuture initiatives
DNP is reducing environmental impact, with goals
established for seven items. Above all, regarding the
reduction of GHS emissions, a point of focus for us, in
April 2021 we lowered our 2030 target to be in linewith the “well below the 2°C” level and the SBTi again
approved this revised target. Thus, we have strengthened our activities. Additionally, to increase sales ofenvironmentally conscious products and services
and promote resource recycling, we set new indicators in FY2021 and have been pushing forward withactivities since then. In FY2021, we achieved ourannual targets for all of the items.
DNP will continue to create the value that people
and society want while considering the harmony ofour business activities and the global environment asa requirement for moving forward. We also take into
account the impact of our business activities throughout the supply chain as we work to reduce environmental impact.

DNP Group Environmental Policy
DNP has set “environmental conservation and therealization of a sustainable society” as one of thetenets in our DNP Group Code of Conduct, which wehave established as necessary for all of our activities
for the realization of the Corporate Philosophy, “TheDNP Group connects individuals and society, andprovides new value.” In March 2000, we establishedthe DNP Group Environmental Policy, aiming to help
realize a sustainable society by reducing the environmental impact based on an understanding of therelationship between all of our business activities andthe environment.
We revised this policy in March 2022 because, inrecent years in particular, society’s concerns about
environmental problems have been growing, and wemust carry out activities in view of the environmental
impact of the supply chain as a whole.

The DNP Group positions initiatives to environmental issues among our important management
challenges. We will boost the environmental awareness of each and every employee, promote
environmental conservation efforts throughout the entire supply chain from procurement todisposal and recycling, and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
1. We will remain aware of the environmental impact of our business activities, comply with environmental
laws and regulations and endeavour to prevent environmental pollution.
2. We will make efforts to achieve carbon neutrality, in order to mitigate climate change, by minimizing energy
use in our business activities, and introducing renewable energy.
3. We will minimize our use of resources, and focus on reducing and recycling waste, targeting the use ofsustainable resources.
4. We seek to achieve harmony with local ecosystems to conserve biodiversity.
5. We will pursue the development and popularization of eco-friendly products and services aiming to reduce
environmental impact throughout the entire supply chain.

In order to achieve these initiatives, we will build an environmental management system, which we will operateby setting objectives and targets, and work hard to make continuous improvements.
We will make timely disclosures regarding these activities and engage in proactive communication with our
stakeholders.

Initiatives for Achieving the DNP Group Environmental Vision 2050
DNP established the DNP Group Environmental Vision 2050, and guided by it we aim to contribute to the realization of a decarbonized, recycling-oriented society in harmony
with nature by 2050.
To realize the vision by 2050, we used backcasting to set the 2025 Medium-Term Targets below.
The previous 2030 GHG reduction target received SBTi approval in 2018 as “well below the 2°C scenario.” Because this target was expected to be achieved as early as during
FY2020, in March 2021 we set the bar higher so that it could be a milestone on the path toward the realization of zero emissions in 2050. In April 2021, the new target was recognized by the SBTi as well below the 2°C scenario (WB 2°C).
The GHG reduction target: 40% reduction from FY2015 by 2030 (SBT)

DNP positions addressing climate change and otherenvironmental issues as an important management
issue. We have established a committee specializing
in sustainability and have been moving forward withinitiatives under the management and supervision of
the Board of Directors. In April 2022, we reorganized
the Sustainability Committee into an organization
chaired by the president, aiming to improve the sustainability of the environment, society, and economy
and to drive the sustainable growth of DNP. This committee collaborates with the Corporate Ethics Committee and the BCM Promotion Committee to analyze
and manage company-wide risks, identify business
opportunities and enable them to be reflected in business strategies in its medium- to long-term corporate
activities while stressing the importance of ESG (environment, society, governance) issues. Other activitiesof the Sustainability Committee include the deliberation and decision-making regarding the sustainabilityrelated policies, targets, and plans of the overall
Group, as well as supervision of the progress of plans
and the status of achievement of targets.

by an Independent Institution• Risk management
The Sustainability Committee identifies environmental risks, including climate change risks, at least once a year in light of business plansfrom the perspective of stakeholders’ interests, degree of impact and possibility of influence, and assesses and manages the identified
risks. Risks and opportunities that are regarded as particularly important are discussed by the Sustainability Committee and thenreviewed by the Board of Directors. In the review meeting, activities are prioritized and targets are set, and the results of reviews arereflected in the management of the Group.
In addition, Environmental Committees have been set up within the Operations Department and Group companies as organizations
overseeing domestic and overseas activities in each business area. These committees carry out activities by setting targets and plansin light of business characteristics. The progress of the activities is managed by the office of the Sustainability Committee on a quarterly
basis. This office also summarizes the status of the achievement of the targets of the Group as a whole every six months, reports thestatus of progress of activities to management and provides feedback to the Operations and Group Company Environmental Committees to improve initiatives.
• Strategy
DNP identifies the risks presented by climate change and considers strategies to address long-term risks before the promotion of its
businesses. To do this, we assess and analyze the qualitative and quantitative financial impact of risks and their period of impact using
multiple scenarios published by international organizations.* Based on the results of the scenario analysis, we address the projectedclimate risks flexibly and strategically. We will improve the resilience of our business activities over the medium and long term under allof the scenarios.
[Transition risks]
It is highly likely that the stricter regulation of GHG emissions will result in the ubiquitization of renewable energy, the introduction ofemissions trading schemes, the introduction of carbon taxes and other changes which are expected to increase operating costs. In
response, we will change our business portfolio in consideration of environmental impact and added value. To achieve net-zero GHG
emissions from our business activities at our sites by 2050, a goal in the DNP Group Environmental Vision 2050, we have formulated
medium-term targets to be achieved by 2030 and have been pushing forward with energy-saving activities, shifting to high-efficiency
equipment using internal carbon prices and introducing renewable energy in a well-planned manner.
We also expect that the demand and the market for low-carbon products and services will expand and businesses will be required
more than ever to shift to low-carbon technologies and push forward with the development of these technologies. To respond to thesechanges, DNP combines the strengths of Printing & Information (P&I) and closely cooperates with outside partners to create value. In“Environment and Energy” which is one of our growth areas, we have set the environment and mobility businesses as focus businesses
in our Medium-Term Management Plan from the perspectives of profitability and market growth potential. We project that our businesses
will grow in fields such as renewable energy, low-carbon products including battery pouches for lithium-ion batteries, and security solutions for the sharing economy. In addition, we are expanding DNP eco-friendly packaging the GREEN PACKAGING, which provides both
environmental consideration and convenience. We are also developing the DNP Life Cycle CO2 Certification system, which contributes tothe decarbonization of entire supply chains by calculating the CO2 emissions of products and services over their entire life cycle. We arepromoting the intensive use of management resources and strategic investments for strengthening these businesses that are our focus.
[Physical risks]
In the short term, we assume the frequency and severity of disasters caused by torrential rains will increase, and this is likely to cause
the shutdown of operations, supply chain disruptions, and other events. In the medium to long term, the rise in the average temperatureand changes in water supply and demand are expected to result in increased costs, hindered operations and other events. We haveestablished a structure for managing these risks to ensure business continuity. Specifically, for several years we have been implementing
disaster prevention measures, such as the elevation of outdoor equipment and measures to prevent water from getting into buildings.
We are also implementing initiatives to enhance supply chain management, including the establishment of a multiple-site production
system and the diversification of suppliers* Scenarios we used: RCP 8.5 scenario based on the fifth report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and Net-zero emissions by 2050,
the sustainable development scenario by International Energy Agency (IEA)’s World Energy Outlook (WEO)

Environmental Management Structure

Environmental Management Structure
The DNP Group has established the Sustainability
Committee to coordinate Group-wide environmental
activities and the Operations & Group Company
Environmental Committees as a body to promote
activities within each business segment. Eachcommittee has its own office or promotion office.
• Sustainability Committee
Chaired by the president and consisting of the directors of the basic organizations at the company’s
headquarters, this committee manages medium- andlong-term risks from the perspective of sustainability,
identifies business opportunities and ensures they arereflected in its management strategies. In this process, the committee deliberates and makes decisions
regarding the environmental policies, targets, andplans of the entire Group, and it monitors the progressof the plans and the status of the achievement oftargets.
• Operations & Group Company Environmental
Committees
We carry out such activities based on decisions madeby the Sustainability Committee and the characteristics
of different business areas, including activities at our
locations outside of Japan.

Environmental Management Structure

Environmental Management System
At DNP, we created our own environmental management system (EMS) in 1993, prior to the publication of
the ISO 14001 standard. Our EMS uses the twin toolsof the DNP Group Eco-Reports and Site Eco-Reports
set up by the Sustainability Committee Office as aframework. We also execute the Plan-Do-Check-Act
cycle every six months.
The DNP Group Eco-Reports cover trends in environmental issues and changes in applicable laws, ourcourses of 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 Eco-Reports document each site’s targets, plans,and status of activities. The Operations & Group
Company Environmental Committees use the Site
Eco-Reports to gain understanding of the situation ateach site and submit a summary report to the officer
in charge of the environment.
The Sustainability Committee and the Operations& Group Company Environmental Committees checkprogress at regularly held environmental activities
promotion meetings.
The committees are also reinforcing management
by instantly sharing important information via IT.

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 and emergency shutoff systems to prevent liquids from overflowing 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 FY2021, we also inspected tanks,
waste storage sites and areas for storing equipmentthat handles waste PCBs to prevent soil contamination.

• Storage of harmful substances (PCBs)
A total of 35 units containing PCBs, 16 capacitors and
19 transformers, are currently in storage at sevensites. These units were formerly used in substation
facilities at our plants. All of them contain low concentrations of PCBs. They are stored in special containers
to prevent leakage and managed under the strictest
conditions in designated storage rooms in accordance with applicable laws to ensure there is no loss.
We have completed the processing of high-concentration PCBs, excluding those contained in fluorescent lighting ballasts.
• 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.

• 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.
Details of Incident(Cause, Improvement Measures,and Measures to Prevent Recurrence)
December 16, 2021 at Tanabe Plant of
DNP Technopack Co., Ltd.
Water quality inspection by the government →We submitted an improvement report because the biologicaloxygen demand (BOD) exceeded the standard value specified
in the ordinance.
A mixture of a reagent used in the manufacturing process is believed to be thecause. We have revised the work procedure to prevent recurrence.
In the water quality inspection that was conducted later, it was confirmed thatthe BOD level is within the standard set by the ordinance.

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.

• 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). (Excludes some emission sources with extremely low GHG emissions.) For electricity emission
factors in FY2021, the emission factor announced by each electric power company (FY 2020 results) is used at manufacturing sites anda common emission factor is used for offices and the Bookstore Group. Overseas, the emission factor for each country is used basedon the GHG Protocol. (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.

GHG emissions Across the Entire Supply Chain
At DNP, emissions in the raw material procurement phase (Scope 3, Category 1) are approx. 50% of the emissions from the entire supply chain.
We share and discuss initiatives to reduce GHG emissions and other agenda items with suppliers, including holding explanatory seminars and face-to-face meetings andconducting questionnaires. Thus, we work together with suppliers to move ahead with initiatives to reduce emissions from the supply chain.

Calculation method
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) formulated and released
the “General Guidelines on Supply Chain GHG Emission Accounting, Ver 2.3” the standards of which our calculations are
based upon.
• Scope 1 emissions attributable to transportation and distribution carried out by group companies were included
under Category 4.
• Category 8 is included in Scope 1 and 2. Category 10 was excluded from the calculation because the component
ratio of end products is extremely small.
•F or Category 11, only emissions from plastic bottle beverages in Japan were calculated.
•C ategory 13 and Category 14 are not applicable.
In FY2021, we began to use IDEA Ver. 3.2 as the base for emission intensity and Embodied Energy and Emission Intensity Data for Japan Using Input-Output Tables (3EID) for some of the data items.

Environmental Management Activities—Building a Recycling Society

Resource Recycling
Increasing emissions of plastics and other waste have grown into a serious problem globally. We are seeing a global trend of shifting from one-way economic and social activities
to a circular economy, in which resources are used sustainably. At DNP, we are moving forward with the efficient use of resources by working to improve resource productivity,
promote the recycling of unwanted materials and take other initiatives, aiming for the realization of a recycling-oriented society, a target we set in the DNP Group Environmental
Vision 2050. In FY2021, we revised our medium-term targets and began to use the resource recycling rate as an indicator for the promotion of recycling.
• Promoting the Recycling of Undesired Materials (Waste and Valuable Waste)
DNP uses plastics as raw materials and emits a substantial volume of waste. In Japan, the largest percentage of this waste goes to thermal recovery.
We therefore promote the recycling of plastic waste in Japan, with the goal of increasing the resource recycling rate. Our specific efforts include: (1) changing product specifications to facilitate resource recycling, such as using a single material (shift to mono-material products); (2) promoting material recycling by segregating waste into more detailed
segments, and; (3) collaborating with partner companies to shift to chemical recycling.
*Combustion, recycling into solid fuels, and other processes involving heat recovery are treated as thermal recovery and are therefore not included in recycling (resource recycling).

Environmental Management Activities—Building a Recycling Society• 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 theElectronics and Other segments that require alarge amount of water, we are making particularefforts to reduce consumption, such as optimizing the amount of water used in manufacturing processes, refining each process, installing
water meters to eliminate loss as well as
expanding cascade use of washing water.
Water used FY2021 results: 7,780 [1,000 m3]
We are also making effective use of rainwater inour office buildings and other sites.
• Use of recycled water
We are working hard to conserve water
resources by promoting a closed-loop system
in which water is recycled and reused instead of
released. In this way we have been able to cut
down on the high volume of water required forcleaning our products, air conditioning, andheating and cooling production machinery.

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)
FY2021 results: 3,682 (tons)

Although dichloromethane was mainly used for washingin the printing process, we have pursued a switchover
to substitutes and terminated using dichloromethane
for washing in 2013. At present, dichloromethane isused at some sites including our laboratory; however,the discharge concentration is extremely low.

Environmental Management Activities—Realizing a Society in Symbiosis with Nature

Biodiversity Conservation
DNP, understands that our business activities impact
biodiversity, and we believe that harmonious coexistence with the natural environment is essential for us
to continue to grow sustainably as a company. Basedon this way of thinking, we formulated the DNP Group
Declaration on Biodiversity in March 2010. To realize asociety in harmony with nature, we minimize our
impact on biodiversity throughout the value chain andwork 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 2012, 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
preservation of biodiversity with a low risk of supporting
the damage caused by invasive species and natural
predators. DNP is carrying out community-based
biodiversity conservation activities on the premisesof our sites, including the preservation of endangered
species and the creation of greenery areas in light ofregional ecosystems.

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 the

Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information and ISO14064-3:2019 Greenhouse gases- Part 3: Specification with guidance for the validation and verification of greenhouse gas assertions for GHG emissions.
Our assurance engagement covered the operations and activities relating the Company and its consolidated
subsidiary in Japan and overseas 2 3 4 and specifically the following requirements:• Verifying conformance with the Company’s reporting methodologies;• Evaluating the accuracy and reliability of data for the selected environmental indicators listed Appendix 1; 5 6
Our assurance engagement excluded the data and information of the Company’s suppliers, contractors and any
third-parties mentioned in the report.
LRQA’s responsibility is only to the Company. LRQA disclaims any liability or responsibility to others as explained in
the end footnote. The Company’s responsibility is for collecting, aggregating, analysing and presenting all the dataand information within the report and for maintaining effective internal controls over the systems from which thereport is derived. Ultimately, the report has been approved by, and remains the responsibility of the Company.

LRQA’s Opinion

Based on LRQA’s approach nothing has come to our attention that would cause us to believe that the Company has
not, in all material respects:• Complied with the Company’s reporting methodologies• Disclosed accurate and reliable environmental data
The opinion expressed is formed on the basis of a limited level of assurance7 and at the materiality of the professional
judgement of the verifier.

LRQA’s approach

Appendix 1：：The Scope of WorkLRQA’s assurance engagements are carried out in accordance with ISAE3000 (Revised) and ISO14064-3:2019 for GHG
emissions. The following tasks though were undertaken as part of the evidence gathering process for this assurance
engagement:• Auditing the Company’s data management systems to confirm that there were no significant errors, omissions
or misstatements in the report. We did this by reviewing the effectiveness of data handling procedures,instructions and systems, including those for internal verification.
• Interviewing with those key people responsible for compiling the data and drafting the report.
• Sampling datasets and traced activity data back to aggregated levels;• Verifying the historical environmental data and records for the fiscal year 2021; and• Visiting Tokyo Plant of DNP Living Space Co., Ltd. to confirm the data collection processes, record management
practices.
• By implementing the Company’s “No Visitor” Policy due to the global infection spread of COVID-19, conducting
the remote verification to Izumizaki Plant of DNP Technopack Co., Ltd. for confirming the effectiveness of its
data management systems via emails and Microsoft Teams.

LRQA undertook a limited assurance engagement of the environmental data listed below within theEnvironmental Report 2022. (The number of pages on the left side of this table below is the page published in theEnvironmental Report 2022.)P17

The reporting period for some overseas manufacturing subsidiaries are 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021.
The scope is covered Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. and its 23 Manufacturing companies and 1 logistics company.
The scope is covered non-manufacturing sites of Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. and domestic subsidiaries (including 3 Development base, officebuilding, and business offices etc.)
4Overseas 9 manufacturing subsidiaries (DNP Photomask Europe S.p.A., DNP Denmark A/S, DNP Imagingcomm Europe B.V., DNP Imagingcomm
America Corporation (Concord), DNP Imagingcomm America Corporation (Pittsburgh), DNP Imagingcomm Asia Sdn. Bhd., PT DNP Indonesia(Karawang), PT DNP Indonesia (Pulogadung), DNP Vietnam Co.,Ltd.)5LRQA undertook a limited assurance engagement of the environmental data marked with “✓” within DNP Group Environmental Report 2022. And
see Appendix 1 for detailed information on the data covered by this Independent Assurance Statement.
6
When the breakdown data for each department is listed in DNP Group Environmental Report 2022, the data is also assured.
7
The extent of evidence-gathering for a limited assurance engagement is less than for a reasonable assurance engagement. Limited assurance
engagements focus on aggregated data rather than physically checking source data at sites. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in alimited assurance engagement is lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been
performed.
