preservation activities continuously.

management policies and programs of environmental
activities for the whole company. Each plant has its own
Environmental Supervisory Committee, which promotes
environmental management activities and works hand inhand with other Group companies including affiliates toreduce the environmental impact of the Company’sactivities.

2. We will set appropriate objectives and targets for
reducing the burden our activities impose on theenvironment with conserving biodiversity.
3. We aim to provide society with products and services
that contribute to the preservation of the environment.
(1) We endeavor to increase the social value of ourproducts in terms of environmental protection, safetyand hygiene.
(2) We will provide products and services that reduce
environmental loads by obtaining a clear grasp ofenvironmental needs and developing technologies.

Common Policy for Business Facilities
Taking into consideration respective business activities,
local communities and the surrounding environments,
each plant operates by setting out its own environmental
policy, objectives and targets, drawing on methods
compliant with international standards. Toward such ends,
JSW plants continually strive:

Social Initiatives
Activities as a corporate citizen
Seeking harmonious coexistence with local communities,
each of our manufacturing plants gives notifications about
specific equipment related to pollution while measuring andanalyzing waste on a regular basis. With respect toenvironmental standards determined by the Basic
Environment Act, we notify government agencies of ourmeasurement findings and conduct on-the-spot andvoluntary inspections to confirm that the appropriate
standards are in place.
Neighborhood cleanup activities
Since 2003, the Hiroshima Plant has conducted cleanup
operations of local surroundings twice a year, in spring andautumn. We have now completed 22 such operations overthe past 12 years. In 2015, the 13th year of the cleanup
campaign, we are targeting environmental protection
activities as a member of the local community.
Meanwhile, the Yokohama Plant, under its social
contribution efforts, includes beautification of local streets aspart of its education program for new employees. Twice ayear, all Yokohama Plant employees also engage inbeautification activities
inside and outside thefacility. In addition tocollecting waste
outside the premises,
we combat weeds andotherwise emphasize
proper greenery maintenance within the plant grounds.
Collected waste is separated and appropriately discarded.
We will continue these activities in the future.
