Implementation of LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)

Implementation for newly-developed productsContinue execution

P16

Promote the introduction of lead-free solder in our products

Initiated promotional organization and started
activities

Started the single unit evaluation for lead-free solder
components and the main circuit boards

P18

Promote green procurement

Undertook supplier education

Determine the amount of prohibited chemical substances in TEL products

P19

Promotion of zero-emissions

Accomplished at four Kyushu region plants,
recycling rate for the entire group raised to 93
percent

Achieve zero-emissions by FY 2006 at the remaining
manufacturing plants, and bring the overall recycling
rate above 95 percent by FY 2006

P20

Reduced energy consumption (CO2 emissions by one
percent per unit of sales, based on the Law Concerning
the Rational Use of Energy)

As a result of the energy conservation activities ineach region, we logged a 13 percent reduction
from the previous fiscal year per unit of sales

Further promotion of energy conservation and bring
per unit usage close to FY 1998 levels

P21

Continue efforts to determine the amount of chemicals used that are subject to PRTR reporting

Determined amount of relevant substances
used

Determine sites of emissions, usage reduction

P23

Zero accidents that require employees to take off
moretime off more than four days, and a 30 percent
reduction in accidental injuries year-on-year.

Accidents that required employees to take the time off
for more than four days occurred, and accidental injuries
were reduced by 25 percent from the previous year.

Re-establish FY 2005 targets

P24

Continue execution of environmental activities atoffices facilities

Activities are ongoingObtain ISO14001 certification for Tokyo Electron Device Ltd.

P10Introduce occupational health and safety management systems at production facilities

Promoted risk assessment at plants wherethese have not yet been introduced

Definitive execution and confirmation of risk reduction plans

P10

Establish EHS assessment system

Trained assessors and executed reciprocal
assessments at two plants

Equipment EHS related items assessment, not only for theoccupational safety, but also for environmental performance

P10

Promotion of activities at overseas offices

Determined the activities of each region, andcarried out EHS handbook education for thesales managers in some overseas regions

Review the implementation of environmental education, expand it
to regions not yet carrying it out, and examine how to determine
the status of education implementation, such as using the Internet.

Considering environmental and safety factors from the design stage.
The challenge is to build momentum and nurture this tendency.
TEL has until now clearly distinguished between the role of sales andengineers. However, the views andthe knowledge regarding environmental burden and safety should be sharedacross these sectors so that activities
can be based on the integrated knowledge and collective know-how of bothworking in sales and those

From the perspective of reducing

theenvironmental
burden of the equipTokyo Electron Limited
ment TEL produces, it is important tolook deeply into this issue. It is obvious that the abilities of the development
engineers are one of the determining factors of the environmental and safety
performance of equipment. We will pour our energy into human resources
development to create employees who can select materials and design
products while being conscious of the environment and safety measures.

Designing the products while keeping in mind waste disposal andrecycling has been a practice at consumer electronics makers for a longtime. There is no question that we need to firmly embrace this mindset atTEL. It is fair to say that creating this kind of momentum is a key challenge
for the Environment, Health and Safety Center.
Our future tasks include taking steps toward lead-free production
processes and for employees to take it upon themselves to inspect and confirm the safety of equipment within factories once again with their own eyes.
