Environmental Management
As a responsible member of society, JSW regards operating in harmony with the environment as animportant corporate responsibility. In our pursuit of production activities and environmental technologies that respect environmental integrity, we engage in business activities that contribute to the ecologically sustainable development of society.
Ever since we formulated a medium-term environmental plan in fiscal 2001 for the first time, we havebeen proactively promoting environmental management activities throughout the company. With theFourth Medium-Term Environmental Plan (fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2017) completed, in fiscal 2018 weformulated the Fifth Medium-Term Environmental Plan and widened the scope of environmental
activities to include the entire JSW Group. Accordingly, we are engaged in activities to achieve thegoals set out in the plan.
Action Plan
1.	We aim to carry out environmental tasks in an organized way,
and to implement environmental preservation activities

Business activities and environmental impact
In the process of manufacturing activities related to our core business sectors, steel and energy products business and industrial machinery products business, the environmental impact status is shown below.
We measure both inputs (consumption of energy, water, and the like) and outputs (such as waste, carbon dioxide, and water resulting
from manufacturing processes), and use the data in our environmental improvement activities.

ECO Steel pressure vessel for hydrogen stations (eco-car-related)
Fuel cells that generate electricity by causing hydrogen andoxygen to react chemically are attracting attention as an environmentally friendly energy source. Vehicles equipped with fuel cells
allow significant reductions in carbon dioxide and harmful gas
emissions, making the ultimate “eco car,” the vehicle leveraging
environmentally friendly energy. Since sales of fuel cell vehicles to
the general public began in 2014, we have seen the establishment of hydrogen stations, which supply hydrogen for fuel cellvehicles, in various locations. With a history of hydrogen-related
research and development covering more than 40 years, we havedeveloped a steel pressure vessel for hydrogen storage, whichplays a central role in the operation of hydrogen stations.

What is a steel pressure vessel?
Hydrogen to be stored in fuel cell vehicles must be supplied at highpressure to enable long-distance trips with one filling. Therefore, inorder to completely fill the tank with hydrogen in a short time period,
the hydrogen station must use a steel pressure vessel to store hydrogenat high pressure beforehand. Deploying our technological expertise
related to steel, we developed a highly durable and reliable steel pressure vessel for hydrogen storage. It can be used safely for long time
periods, and even permits highly accurate safety inspections during
operation.
