Message from the Director
in Charge of the Environment

Going Beyond
Society’s Expectations
Chairman of the CSR-Environment Committee
Managing Director

Satoru Inoue
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 tenet
under our DNP Group Code of Conduct, we ensure
legal compliance first and foremost and are working
to reduce environmental impact by carefully examining
the effects of our business activities on the environment
throughout our supply chain. In particular, we regard
response to climate change as a pressing environmental
issue. We have thus specified eight priority areas, suchas reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions andreduction of water usage, and have been engaging in
activities to achieve their respective targets.
In 2015, the UN General Assembly adopted theSustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which call forcompanies’ action to resolve environmental, economic,
social and various other issues through their businessactivities. In the same year, DNP formulated the DNPGroup Vision 2015 to combine our strengths in the fields
of printing and information (“P&I”) and focus on four growthareas to expand our business. One of them is Environment
and Energy, and in this particular field, we seek bothour business growth and the resolution of social issues
through products and services by reducing environmental

impact and taking action against climate change. For
example, our multifunctional insulation box uses thin,lightweight vacuum insulation panels with excellent heatinsulating performance. The box maintains refrigeration
temperatures for a long time without using electricity andcontributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions duringtransportation and establishment of a cold chain.

Efforts in FY2017
In FY2017, we achieved all of the targets of the eightpriority areas.
Among these themes, we virtually achieved our
FY2030 target for reduction of GHG emissions in FY2017.
To reinforce our reduction activities further, we havespecified a new target that conforms to an internationalframework. The new target has been recognized by theinternational Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative as“science-based” in helping to achieve the goal of theParis Agreement, which is to keep global warming below
two degrees Celsius.
In addition, we have been undertaking an initiative forthe conservation of biodiversity to create the Ichigaya
Forest, a new form of “urban” forest, on the premises ofour head office in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. The initiative has
been certified as a “Biodiverse Business Site®” by the

Association for Business Innovation in Harmony with
Nature and Community (ABINC), an organization evaluatingcompanies’ initiatives to create, manage and use greeneryareas while giving due consideration to biodiversity.

Future Efforts
As the environment surrounding companies is undergoinga drastic change with various social issues becoming
increasingly prevalent, DNP will strive to achieve further
reductions in environmental impact through our businessactivities and throughout the entire supply chain.
Simultaneously, we will combine DNP’s P&I strengths andthe strengths of our partners to create new value that will
help provide solutions to various social issues. In addition
to responding to climate change, we will make particularefforts towards the realization of a circular economy thatmaximizes the use of limited resources. While keeping aneye on the latest developments in other environmental
issues, such as the issue of plastic waste giving rise tomuch public attention in recent years, we will promote
development of products and services that will also
contribute to the achievement of the SDGs.
DNP will continue to facilitate closer communication
with stakeholders and seek to remain a company
continuously earning a high level of trust from society.

guides us toward environmental conservation andthe realization of a sustainable society. The DNPGroup Environmental Policy links this code to specificactivities. We take the environment into considerationin all of our business activities and focus on thosethat not only reduce environmental impact, but alsopreserve the global environment.

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.

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.

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.

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) Because auditors are DNP employees fromsites not being audited, they have specialized
knowledge about the products and processes andare able to maintain an independent perspective,
which produces meaningful, objective results fromthe audit.
(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 FY2017, 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 17 sites, with 217
condensers and 19 transformers for a total of 236 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.
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 four 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.

Occurrences (causes, improvements andrecurrence prevention measures)
July 24, 2015
Tanabe Plant, DNP Technopack
Governmental measurement of concentration ofvolatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaust air →Values for VOC concentration exceeded the legal limit, so an
improvement report was submitted.
The cause of the problem was found in the equipment that recovers andtreats VOCs in exhaust gas. The adsorption ability of the activated carbon that
adsorbs the VOCs had deteriorated. To prevent a recurrence, we are changing
the operational conditions of the activated carbon regeneration equipment toimprove the adsorption ability of the activated carbon, and are periodicallymonitoring its adsorption ability. After implementation of these steps, we wereable to confirm that VOC concentration levels were within standard limits.

November 12, 2015
Chikugo Plant, DNP Technopack
Governmental water analysis → pH measurement values
exceeded regulatory standards for draining systems, so an
improvement report was submitted.
The cause of excessive pH levels was the failure of the wastewater neutralizing
apparatus on the waste heat boiler. To prevent a recurrence, we repaired
the controller and alarm device and will conduct periodic inspections. After
implementation, we were able to confirm through water quality tests that thevalues met regulatory standards.

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.

GHG Emissions Reduction Target of the DNP Group Recognized by the Science Based Targets (SBT) Initiative
DNP recognizes that responding to climate change is the most pressing environmental and social issue. As we virtually achieved our FY2030 GHG emissions reduction target in FY2017, wedefined another target that conforms to an international framework. In July 2017, our new FY2030 target was recognized by the international Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative as“science-based” in helping to achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement, which is to keep global warming below two degrees Celsius. DNP will continue to augment its GHG emissions
reduction activities by saving energy and introducing energy-saving facilities.
FY2030 GHG emissions reduction target of the DNP Group: Reduce GHG emissions by 25% from the FY2015 level
With regard to our Scope 3 emissions, we will work to reduce our total GHG emissions throughout our supply chain by encouraging our key suppliers to receive the SBT initiative’s approval by 2025.

Efforts to Reduce GHG Emissions Across the Entire DNP Group Supply Chain
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are one cause of global warming. The DNPGroup is taking active steps to reduce GHG emissions on a global scale.
In developing environmentally conscious products, we consider it vital toreduce GHG emissions in the overall lifecycle of a product. We therefore
calculate GHG emissions across our entire supply chain including main overseas
sites (Scope 3), not only at the stage of manufacturing but also including indirectemissions.
The Scope 3 emissions for FY2017 stood at 5.03 million t-CO2 and break
down as follows: “Manufacturing of goods and services” (Category 1) at 66%,
which accounted for the largest portion; “Downstream transportation &distribution (finished products)” (Category 9) at 14%; “End of life treatment of soldproducts” (Category 12) at 10%; “Upstream transportation & distribution of raw
materials and intermediate products” (Category 4*1) at 4%. These four categories
together accounted for 94% of the total.
We will continue to promote the reduction of emissions across our entire
supply chain in the future based on these results.

GHG Emissions Reduction

Achieving a Low-Carbon Society

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 CO2 -emission
fuels and introducing renewable energy sources.
• Reducing Consumption of CO2 -Generating Energy
The DNP Group’s overall GHG emissions in FY2017
totaled 783,000 tons. This breaks down as follows:
energy source CO 2 emissions, 762,000 tons;
non-energy source CO 2 emissions, 20,700 tons;
methane converted to CO 2 emissions equivalent,
35 tons; and N2O emissions, 444 tons. There were
no emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), 33
tons of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and 1 ton of sulfur
hexafluoride (SF6) and 25 tons of nitrogen trifluoride(NF3).
In FY2017, our main efforts to reduce CO2 emissions
included conserving energy used for air conditioning
and power, improving production line operations,efficient heating units, etc. Energy conservation
subcommittees adapted to the characteristics of eachbusiness area were also formed. In FY2018, we willcontinue our aggressive efforts to limit GHG emissions
by continuing with the switch to low CO2 -emission
fuels, introducing energy-saving equipment such as
inverters, efficient air conditioners and heating units,
and improving production efficiency.

GHG emissions volume The calculation of GHG emissions at domestic production sites due to electricity use, fuel use/combustion, burning of waste
and atmospheric emissions of HFCs/PFCs/SF6 /NF3 is performed according to type of energy. For city gas, the computation is performed according to
the quantity of heat in Appendix 4, “List of City Gas Suppliers and Supplied Quantity of Heat” (revised April 15, 2013) of the Requirements for Filling Out
Periodic Reports Based on Articles 15 and 19-2 of the Act on the Rational Use of Energy. For other types of energy, the calculation is performed using
the calorific value and emission factors contained in the revised Act on Promotion Global Warming Countermeasures (an enforcement ordinancepublished March 31, 2010 by the Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). Additionally, for electricity emission factors,
the FEPC’s 2005 point-of-use CO2 emissions unit value of 0.423 (kg-CO2 /kWh) was used uniformly. Also, the Guideline for Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Calculation for Businesses (Draft Ver.1.6) (July 28, 2005, partially revised; Ministry of the Environment) is used for recalculating the base year GHG
emissions due to the change in our aggregate accounting range resulting from M&As. The 2005 (base year) figure in the graph above is the sum of
FY2005 domestic production site emissions and FY2009 non-production site emissions. Furthermore, Scope 1 emissions attributable to transportationand distribution carried out by group companies are not included.

Energy Conservation Subcommittee Activities
To promote energy conservation throughout DNP, we carry out subcommittee activities with a focus on implementing energy-saving measures inour plants. In the Information Communication segment, we changed the methods to control air conditioner fans and cold water pumps (switchingfrom valves to inverters for flow adjustment) and reduced the amount of power necessary to drive these fans and pumps. In the Lifestyle andIndustrial Supplies segment, we started operating the deodorizing equipment used for combustion treatment of drying exhaust gas from gravure
printing machines in a coordinated manner with production equipment and successfully reduced the power required to drive exhaust fans, andconsequently, fuel usage. In the Electronics segment, we also cut our fuel usage by optimizing the exhaust gas treatment conditions of
deodorizing equipment. To achieve further energy savings, we have started verifying energy conservation measures that use Internet of Things(IoT) technology. We also created an Energy Saving Casebook, a collection of energy-saving measures, and distributed it to all plants for sharing
relevant information. Additionally, during the printing training held at the Tsukuba Printing Operations Training Center for personnel ofmanufacturing and back-office departments, we provided a lecture on how to conduct air leakage diagnosis as an effort to support energy-saving
activities undertaken by our plants.

Switching to Low CO2-Emission Fuels

Achieving a Low-Carbon Society
Fuel composition• Shift to Energy with Lower CO2 Emissions
The DNP Group is making progress in the switch to
low CO2-emission fuels to reduce GHG emissions.
We have been making the switch from diesel,
kerosene and similar high CO2-emission petroleum
fuels into low CO2-emission city gas, LPG (liquefied
petroleum gas) and LNG (liquefied natural gas) since
before 1990, and plan to continue to do so.
We are also moving ahead with renewable energy.
DNP High-performance Materials’ Izumizaki Plant
installed a solar power generation system in 2009,
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 1.75 million kWh of Renewable
Energy Certificates annually to cover part of the power
consumption used by manufacturing processes within
the Group (for printing, bookbinding and processing)and other facilities.

1Anti-Global Warming Measures inTransport and at Our Offices

Achieving a Low-Carbon Society• Efforts in Transport
In FY2017, the Group’s overall transport volume (atdomestic manufacturing sites) was 338 million tonkilometers. A total of 20,830 kiloliters of energy(converted to crude oil) was used in shipping,producing 51,700 tons of CO2 emissions. Additionally,
emissions attributable to transportation and distribution
carried out by Group companies (Scope 1) came to2,500 tons. The per-unit fuel use for transport (amountof fuel used/sales) was 14.7 kl/billion yen, a decreaseof 8.7% from FY2010.
We will continue to implement distribution-related
environmental impact reduction measures such as
the optimization of vehicle distribution and transportroutes, improved efficiency through the installation ofdigital tachometers, an idling-stop campaign, a modal
shift to rail transport and the introduction of hybrid
vehicles.

• Global Warming Measures for Offices
The DNP Group has been engaged in efforts to
reduce CO2 emissions for offices since FY2005. In
FY2011, we established a target of a 20% reduction in
power consumed at our offices throughout Japan
compared with FY2010. Specific actions that we are
implementing, beyond regular energy-saving measures,
include completely revising the number of lighting
fixtures and level of illumination needed, extending
the “cool biz” dress code period, reviewing how air
conditioning is run and expanding the use of LED
lighting.

Reducing Air Pollutants
Air pollutant emissions

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 tosubstitute products with a lower environmental
impact and installing equipment for VOC treatment
and collection. In FY2017, these efforts have resulted
in a 28.2% reduction in VOC emissions to 4,831 tons
compared with FY2010 (base year).

3Reducing Waste Products in Manufacturing Processes

Building a Recycling Society

To help build recycling into society we are engaged inefforts to improve resource productivity and increase
the recycling of undesired materials. These efforts are
premised on the waste-free use of raw materials that
go into manufacturing processes. Undesired materials
are recycled as much as possible to utilize limited
resources efficiently.
We use waste per unit of production (waste
emissions ( E + F [next page])/production volume)
as a productivity indicator. In FY2017 waste per unitof production was 30.7 t/billion yen (domestic waste
emissions/production), which is an improvement
over 40.8 t/billion yen in FY2010. This reduction wasachieved in part thanks to activities which set out tocreate a resilient production system in terms of quality,
cost, delivery and other factors. It was also the resultof a reduction in waste volume through the extractionof valuable materials such as waste plastic and wasteoil.
We use “zero emissions” as the indicator for thepromotion of recycling undesired materials. Zeroemissions represents an effort to reduce the landfill
waste amount ( J + K [next page])/undesired materials
production volume A [next page] to 0.5% or less;the rate for the Group overall in FY2017 was 0.04%,
maintaining zero emissions. One of our domestic
manufacturing sites did not achieve zero emissions.

Breakdown of Generated Waste Volume

Building a Recycling Society

Mihara East Plant
DNP Fine Optronics
Tetsuo Nishida
Okayama General Affairs Section, General Affairs
Department

The Mihara East Plant manufactures
various products, including metal masks
used for making OLED displays, color filters used in liquid
crystal displays, large-size photomasks and louvers forautomobiles. Many of these products are manufactured bycreating a photosensitive layer on a substrate and by applying
lithographic exposure and washing. Liquid waste from theprocess accounts for about 40% of the plant’s total waste.
In FY2017, we conducted activities with a focus on reducing
this liquid waste. For some color filter products, wastewater
generated in their washing process had exceeded thetreatment capability of our wastewater treatment facilities andhad been disposed of as waste. To make it possible to treat
the wastewater in these facilities, engineering, manufacturing
and facility management departments worked as a team andrepeatedly examined and tested manufacturing conditions
and wastewater treatment methods. As a result, our facilities
can now treat the wastewater to a level suitable for release
into rivers.
In FY2017, this initiative resulted in a wastewater reductionof some 990 tons as well as a 44% reduction in per-unit
waste emissions from the FY2015 level and made a significant
contribution toward the achievement of our FY2020 target.
We will continue to implement effective measures throughcollaboration among departments and carry out similar
reduction activities.

Use of Recycled Resources

Building a Recycling Society
Amount of waste paper collected (Unit: tons)• 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 used 303.3 million m 3 of recycledwater in FY2017, about 32.7 times the amount of pipewater we used.
We are also making effective use of rainwater inour office buildings and other sites. In FY2017 weused 18,500 m3 of rainwater for toilet flushing and thewatering of grounds.

OUTPUT• Reducing Volume of Water Used
The DNP Group strives to reduce its water consumption
by conserving water, reducing the amount of watersupplied to utility systems and increasing the use ofrecycled water. In the Electronics and Other segmentsthat require a large amount of water, we are making
particular efforts 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 increasing therecovery and reuse of water. In FY2017, the amountof water used in Japan was 9.6 million m3, a reductionof 1.4 million m3 from the previous fiscal year.

Used paper collection rate (Unit: %)INPUT• Office Paper Recycling
The business of the DNP Group is closely connectedto paper, and we have be e n separating andcollecting paper at our offices for some time. In
FY2017, waste paper was collected at 55 of 168
eligible offices, primarily large-scale offices, for arecycling rate of 80.9%, exceeding our target of 70%.

Example Eco-Product:
Multifunctional Insulation Box
A supply chain handling products that requiretemperature control, such as fresh foods andelectronic products, has×0.024
been facing the challenge ofreducing transportation time and securing electricity
for refrigeration in order to maintain product quality.
DNP’s multifunctional insulation box uses vacuum
insulation panels*, an insulation material sealed with afilm having high barrier features, and offers excellent
insulation performance and cargo loading efficiency.
Through the use of the vacuum insulation panels
that employ specialized technology, the box maintains
superior insulation and airtight features without theneed for electricity, and as a result, is designed to besuitable for a variety of transporting uses. Also, asa thermometer to measure the internal temperature
is included as a standard fitting, it is also possible
to perform temperature management, making thebox particularly suitable for temperature controlled
transportation.
As an example, the box allows a non-refrigerated,
standard truck without power-supply equipment tocarry cargo requiring refrigeration. In addition to

106.4

transportation within Japan, the box will play asignificant role in exporting fresh foods to countries inSoutheast Asia, where refrigerated transportation
had been challenging.
The excellent insulation feature of the box also
allows mixed loading of refrigerated and non-refrigerated
goods, thereby increasing the transportation efficiency.
Its use has been expanding, and it is also used as atemporary refrigerator when storing goods inwarehouses.

Multifunctional insulation box*Panels created by covering and vacuum-sealing an insulation material,
such as glass wool and urethane, with a film that has superior barrierfeatures. Compared to currently available insulation materials, it offers
the equivalent insulation property with just 5% of the thickness.

Realizing a Society in Symbiosis
with Nature

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.

Biodiversity Efforts
DNP’s Ichigaya Forest Certified as “Biodiverse Business Site®”
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 “Biodiverse Business Site®” by
the Association for Business Innovation in Harmony with Nature and Community (ABINC), an
organization evaluating companies’ initiatives to create, manage and use greenery areas
while giving due consideration to biodiversity.
The Ichigaya Forest initiative had been conducted as part of our district redevelopment
project that included plant reconstruction in the area. We placed most of the plant’s facilities undergroundand created a natural forest to provide a vast green space on the ground above these facilities. Our Ichigaya
Forest, which was completed in December 2015, has been certified as a “Biodiverse Business Site®.” Thecertification highly recognized the initiative’s distinctive features listed below.
1. Offers the largest green space in the Tokyo metropolitan area, consisting of trees procured
from within the Kanto region
About one-third (6,000 m2) of the site’s total area (approximately 17,000 m2) is a biodiverse green space.
Getting inspirations from now mostly lost wooded areas in Musashino (an old designation of a part of Kanto),
we created a natural and highly diverse forest mainly consisting of deciduous broadleaf trees, mixed withevergreen trees. These trees and other plants in the forest are local to the Kanto region.
2. Forest maintenance linked to meticulous observations made by employees
While we ask experts to conduct animal and plant surveys, employees continuously record their daily
observations. We link these observation records with our maintenance activities, using them to carry out
maintenance at the optimized and efficient timing and identify issues quickly.
About the “Biodiverse Business
Site ®” certification(ABINC certification)
It is a certification system run by the ABINC,
which performs third-party evaluation andcertifies companies’ initiatives to create,
manage and use biodiverse greeneryareas. As certification standards, thesystem uses the Biodiverse Business Site®
Promotion Guidelines and Report Cards
on Land Usage® created by the Japan
Business Initiative for Biodiversity (JBIB).
