Policy of consideration for environment concerning business activities
Junsei Chemical, Co.,Ltd.’s environmental report preparation backgroundWe are conducting manufacturing and distribution of chemical agents which are thought to have a large
load on the environment, but chemical agents and reagents are indispensable for development of science
because chemical agents are used for medicine, etc. and reagents are used for researches and analyses.
Generally, when converting hazardous chemical substances with environmental load into useful chemicalsubstances, a lot of chemical wastes are generated.

We are considering it is our responsibility to care about

the environment by managing the safety control of raw materials, products and wastes which may lead to aserious environmental pollution with a wrong conduct.
Especially, the issue of global warming caused by carbon dioxide has not been other world’s matter, but has
become the general issue.
before last year.

It has been 3 years since we created our first environmental report the year

Environmental policy
Constitution of environmental policy
We have instituted our environmental policy on April 1, 2007 as follows.
Environmental policy
1. Basic concept
We, living in the environment, will not be able to live for a long time if we take the blessings of theenvironment without caring it.

Our company will be aware that we are burdening the environment withmanufacturing of chemical products, and will take care of the environment by continuously improving ouractivities to become as small burden as possible for the environment.
2. Basic policy(1) We shall always investigate the environmental impact of our corporate activities, products and wastes,and review and improve in order to make the environmental load as small as possible.
(2) We shall observe all the environment laws concerning the corporate activities. We shall confirm andreport to the management executive the observance status of laws, ministerial ordinances, etc. andordinances of local governments.
(3) We shall observe the agreed matters with our clients concerning the environment, and especially
produce the products which do not include environmental control substance, upon the clients’ request.
(4) We shall set an environmental goal and formulate the implementation plan.

The management

executive shall confirm the implementation status periodically.
(5) We shall document our environmental activities and observe the procedure.

We shall also provide

education for improvement of awareness toward environment protection to those who work for ourcompany.
(6) We shall publish our environmental policy and annual environmental report inside and outside thecompany.

Our effort for the environment
History
We have manufactured and distributed chemical reagents since the business initiation and have handledchemical agents for approximately 60 years.
For Saitama Plant, because it has been over 40 years since the construction, and it has become impossible
to correspond to the business expansion due to its lack of space, we have been conducting renewal offacilities and reconstruction sequentially for approximately 10 years.

Furthermore, because of its locationadjacent to the residential area, we have been shifting from use and production of hazardous andenvironment-loading chemicals to the ones of less environment load.

We have also been making effort as

the whole company for the business expansion by constructing Okuma Plant and Tsukuba Plant including theenvironmental infrastructure adjustment.
In 2001, we obtained ISO14001 certification, and initially executed ecological actions such as using bothsides of paper, shifting to the use of electronic media and reduction of electricity use.

Due to the expansion

of the company size, we could not achieve a large scale of reduction, but such actions could lead to increase
control and improvement of the employees’ awareness towards the environment.

The importance ofcompliance has been socially suggested since around 2004, so we have been continuously enhancing theactivities of compliance of chemical plants.

Our recent effort for the environment(1) Green procurement
We use paper mostly for catalogues of chemical reagent products. For the edition of 2003, we used 70%
recycled paper.

We changed to 100% recycled paper for the edition of 2005, and conducted green

procurement by purchasing 23.2t of recycled paper.
Around 2003, we accomplished to change the printing ink for catalogue and label into soy oil ink which
generates no hazardous substance after being burnt.
We added green procurement to quality environment goal, and positively purchased green mark products
including office supplies as the whole company since 2006.
(2) Effort for clients㵭 environment related requests
In 2002, we obtained Sony Green Partner certification and renewed it in 2005.

We are making effort torestrain environment pollution.
After the enforcement of RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) in July 2006, we arecontinuing to provide individual users with the certificates of non-inclusion of environment control substancesin chemical substances, containers and packaging materials.
(3) Storage management of PCB
We are storing and managing 80kg of PCB at Saitama Plant. In compliance with the Law Concerning
Special Measures against PCB Waste, we completed the application of PCB disposal by 2005, and arestoring and managing it until the disposal.

Environmental nonconformity and environmental performance 2007
Summary
There were no complaints concerning the environment in 2007, but there was some environmental
nonconformity regarding laws and regulations.
There is not so much increase in the energy usage compared to the production amount, but generalwaste amount and water usage increased, which prevented us from reducing environmental load.
Manufacturing of intermediate under Act on the Evaluation of Chemical Substances and Regulation of Their
Manufacture, etc.
We conducted the operation at Okuma Plant which was not partially notified and we notified the Ministryof the Environment, etc. of it. They gave us instruction and we have constructed a test and education
system to prevent it from happening again.

Water discharge at Saitama Plant
Total volume control: excess of phosphorus inclusion amount; 1 time in a year, slightly exceeded thecontrol amount.
Total volume control: excess of COD inclusion amount; 3 times in a year, exceeded the control amount.
Water discharge standard: excess of BOD value; 4 times in a year, exceeded the control amount.

There was an incident amount the above, where methanol flowed out by malpractice, entered theactivated sludge tank and reduced the disposal amount.
We will continuously manage the permeation membrane of the activated sludge tank.

Leakage at Saitama Plant
During the circulation of 1mol/L of sodium hydroxide solution, the pipe was disconnected and about 1m3
leaked.

However, there was not an impact on the environment because it was processed in theneutralization tank and then processed with the activated sludge.

Water vapor generation from the scrubber at Okuma Plant
It is due to the lack of capacity of exhaust treatment unit.

We took a measure by increasing gas

absorbing liquid and reducing gas flow.
