Contributing to sustainability

and growing together

Presidentwith society through our

corporate activities

from thePresident

Toyoda Gosei is a top manufacturer of rubber and plastic automotive parts andLEDs, with global operations by 67 group companies in 18 countries andregions.
Over a history of more than half a century, we have always valued thecontributions we make to a better society through our business activities.
Meeting the expectations of our stakeholders̶customers, shareholders,
employees, our communities, and others̶and helping to improve their lives has
always been our aim. To achieve this, we emphasize environmental preservation,
creation of pleasant workplaces, and building livable communities based oncompliance in our various activities.
Environmental preservation is an area where we have been putting special eﬀort.
Automobile ownership is increasing, mainly in developing countries, and there isconcern about future increases in global CO2 emissions, growing consumption of
resources, and loss of biodiversity. To leave a sustainable and livable global
environment, automakers are accelerating measures such as developing theenvironmentally-friendly technologies of fuel cell vehicles (FCV) and electricvehicles (EV). Suppliers such as Toyoda Gosei must also face theseenvironmental issues, and we believe that all our stakeholders expect us tocontribute fully to their resolution.
In February 2016 we established the TG 2050 Environmental Challenge, setting
six ambitious goals to move steadily toward zero CO2 emissions and net water
usage in our business activities by 2050. The entire Toyoda Gosei Group will
work as one under the banner of leaving a greener world for our children, andwe will continue to push our eﬀorts forward with the spirit and resolve to leadthe industry in the environmental ﬁeld.

TOYODA GOSEI REPORT 2016

As a ﬁrst step toward achieving this, we are implementing various measures basedon our Sixth Environmental Action Plan for the ﬁve years from 2016 to 2020. For
years we have made signiﬁcant eﬀorts to develop lightweight parts that contributeto better automobile fuel eﬃciency, environmentally-friendly LED products, andrecycling technologies for raw materials. These eﬀorts have been recognized withas strong ranking of 18th among manufacturers in the Nikkei Environmental
Management Survey. The Sixth Environmental Action Plan calls for us to continue
developing products using our expertise in the ﬁeld of high polymers while also
creating a new company-wide environmental organization for production
technology and introducing energy-saving, innovative processes by downsizing
lines and equipment and other means.
We are also striving to create pleasant workplaces that stimulate employees andallow them to work in health and safety. We want to create a corporate
atmosphere and culture that respects diversity so that each of our employees canwork making full use of his or her individual talents and abilities. In contributing tolivable communities, Toyoda Gosei employees around the world actively
contribute to their local communities. Our aim is for Toyoda Gosei Group
companies to have ﬁrm roots in our communities and to grow together with thesocieties in which we operate.
The foundation for all of these activities is compliance. To maintain the trust ofsociety as a company of integrity, we believe not only legal compliance but highethical standards by each and every one of our employees are crucial, and we willcontinue to educate employees throughout the Toyoda Gosei Group.
We will do our utmost to contribute to sustainable societies globally through ourbusiness activities, and grow together with the societies where we make ourhome. We look forward to continuing to serve our customers and communities.

We are reducing carbon emissions by improving productivity and reducing energy use.
Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. has firmly established energy-saving measures aimed at limiting peak
power and decreasing energy use, and we continue to uncover and reduce waste in ways suchas“visualizing”and analyzing energy use in production processes. We also explore ways tosave energy with genchi-genbutsu (go and see) site visits at Toyoda Gosei plants worldwide,and make improvements based on the findings.
In FY2015, we switched the fuel for paint line air-conditioning boilers from A-type heavy fuelto low-CO2 emitting city gas. We have also upgraded air-conditioning equipment installed
before 2000 across the company, resulting in a 30% reduction in power consumption. We are
expanding our use of renewable energy, and have set a target of using renewable energy
equivalent to 1% of actual total purchase of peak power by 2017.
We are also taking appropriate measures for Scope 1*1 and Scope 2,*2 which require
environmental management such as set forth in the Energy Saving Law in Japan, anddisclosing relevant data for Scope 3.*3

Compressor(newly installed)

Air piping (optimized)

We reduced CO2 emissions by 50% in our Nishimizoguchi Plant withimprovements for optimization of air supply control and piping routes.
Previously, air was supplied to buildings of all sizes with a single
compressor running full time. These long air supply distances resulted
in energy waste from pressure loss. We therefore upgraded to thenewest type of compressor and installed another compressor on the
opposite side of the buildings for optimal control with twocompressors. We also checked for air leaks in the piping and replacedsome with piping of optimal thickness to improve the efficiency of the
air supply to the entire plant.

Working group activities to reduce product weight started in FY2014. To
expand these activities and make them more efficient, a new“Product Weight
Reduction Project”was established in the Research and Development
Headquarters in FY2015. Previous working groups conducted activities
separately in each department, but the Product Weight Reduction Project
strengthens interdepartmental connections between materials technology,
engineering and production technology for development with an overall view.
We have set an ambitious target of decreasing weight 20–30% by 2020 with afocus on major products, and are working together to accelerate these activities.

Compact painting processes
When installing new consecutive painting lines for back door panels at
our Inazawa Plant, we increased the energy efficiency of air conditioners
and other equipment by making the lines more compact (about half thesize). This reduced CO 2 emissions 43%. Advance simulations wereconducted to determine the ideal spacing for multiple painting robots. We
also made a laminar flow to regularize the flow of air discharged from air
conditioning equipment and conducted a simulation of electrostatic painting
to raise painting efficiency. By controlling paint splatter we were able to
make the line 44% smaller.

We have developed a very small and lightweight capless fuel filler (aproduct that permits the refueling nozzle to be inserted without removing
or replacing a cap). By integrating functions we have reduced the numberof parts in this product compared with those of competitors, and made itof plastic rather than metal. These things together with structuralmodifications achieve both a high level of safety and lighter weight.

To reduce CO2 emissions during transportation, we focused on improving load efficiency,
shortening distribution routes, and improving allocation of vehicles based on actual
circumstances. In FY2015, continuing from the year before, we surveyed our transportation
activities to improve efficiency and have been using a direct delivery system for high volume
customers to deliver products without going through our distribution centers. When delivery
volumes increase with the start of new products, we work with the customer so that we are able
to make direct deliveries from the beginning. This decreases transportation loss. Operations
were also begun at the Miyagi Plant of TG East Japan Co., Ltd. to produce products closer tocustomers, decreasing distribution CO2 emissions in the Tohoku Region of Japan by 4%.

Effective Use of Resources
Toyoda Gosei contributes to resource recycling in society through effective use ofresources based on reduction of discarded materials and recycling plans.

Reduction of discarded materials during production
In moving to reduce discarded materials in the production process, we are
implementing measures to cut discarded materials at its source and increasing
recycling. In FY2015 these efforts were intensified by sharing examples of
reduction of discarded materials activities at each of our plants through site
inspections by people from other plants. To promote discarded materials
reduction at group companies in other countries, workshops are held on topics
such as methods of identifying target items for reduction. Toyoda Gosei Co.,
Ltd., affiliates in Japan, and group companies overseas all met their respective
FY2015 targets.

Reduction of VOCs with the development of lacquer black plating
The development of lacquer black plating has allowed us to reduce VOCs byusing this plating instead of black surface decoration with smoke clear paint.

Previously, we had to use smoke clear paint after a three-layer plating process(bronze/nickel/chrome) to achieve a black color for outer grille frames. We
recently developed plating chemicals that easily achieve a black color sensation.

Switch from organic solvents by reformulating water-based mold releaseagent
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been cut 75% by switching from anorganic solvent-based to water-based mold release agent in the steering wheel
forming process. In this process, mold release agents are used to prevent theurethane material from sticking to the molds and for easy removal of the formed
steering wheels. Previous water-based release agents did not spread on themold as easily as solvent-based agents and were more difficult to dry because
they formed beads when applied. We reformulated a water-based release agent
to spread more easily on the mold and gave the spray gun nozzle a smaller
diameter for better drying after application. We can now use this moreenvironmentally-friendly water-based release agent.

SmallernozzlediameterRegulations on chemical substances that impact the environment arebecoming stricter each year. One example is the European REACH*1 regulations
on the safe use, handling, and application of chemical substances. At the sametime, an increasing number of countries are establishing new regulations, andautomakers are stiffening self-imposed regulations.
About 5,500 substances are subject to chemical substance management
under regulations set by national and local governments, automakers’voluntary
regulations, and our own in-house regulations. These regulations are expected to
become increasingly strict, and we need to gather information in coordination
with our international affiliates for quick responses when regulations are revised.
To meet the demands of automakers in each country, we have organized aspecial chemical substance management team and are constructing mechanisms
and developing systems for globally integrated management of chemical
substances that are being used in Japan, China, Thailand, and Vietnam. From2016 we will also begin introducing these systems in India, Indonesia, and Brazil.

Examples of response to chemical regulations

Control of atmospheric release of gasoline vapor by modifying plastic
inlets (complying with ORVR regulations)
We have made the filler opening of plastic inlets using plastic instead of metal torespond rapidly to expanded application of Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery(ORVR)*6 regulations and other strengthened regulations. This has helped tocontrol the release of gasoline vapor into the atmosphere. The structure ofprevious metal filler openings was such that air was taken in with fuel during
refueling, and gasoline vapor was constantly emitted within the fuel tank. Using
plastic for the inlet filler opening, we achieved a structure that does not take in air
during refueling and recycles emitted gasoline vapor back into the fuel tank. This
makes it possible to eliminate air intake during refueling and effectively recirculate
gasoline vapor, limiting release to the atmosphere.

Elimination of weatherstrip non-drying sealer
By changing from the non-drying sealer used in weatherstrips to soft sponge, wehave reduced the amount of organic solvent used. To improve the sealing of
weatherstrips when they are attached to the vehicle body, a gel-type non-drying
sealer is used for certain products. This was an organic solvent-based sealer in somecases. To eliminate this, we developed new materials and developed and switched
to a soft sponge that improves sealing capacity with no loss to ease of application.

We have eliminated toluene xylene for the double-sided tape primer used inweatherstrips. Double-sided tape is used to attach weatherstrips to doors, but
the weatherstrip material does not adhere well to the double-sided tape. A
tackifier is therefore applied in advance as a primer. The primer we had beenusing contained toluene and xylene. To eliminate this, we checked the solvent
composition, conducted environmental degradation tests, and evaluated drying
speed and workability. We have now switched to a primer that does notcontain toluene and xylene while maintaining the same performance as theprevious primer.

Environmental audits

External environmental audit, Morimachi Plant

Internal environmental audits are carried out by audit teams composed ofmembers from business areas outside those being audited in order to raise
the independence and objectivity of the audits. Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.
commissions external reviews by the Japan Quality Assurance Organization(JQA) to assess whether our environmental management systems are run
properly in accordance with ISO14001. In 2015 these external environmental
audits again found no issues at Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. or affiliate companies
in Japan. Our Seto Plant obtained ISO 14001 (2015 version) certification,
and we are working to acquire certification at other plants as well.

Environmental education activities
Toyoda Gosei conducts mainly participation-based environmental activities
to help employees maintain an environmental awareness that can betranslated into action.

We educate employees about environmental issues, such as thedestruction of nature and environmental pollution, the impact of production
activities on the environment, and observance of environmental laws. The
educational materials are revised each year to be more understandable byincluding case examples that emphasize understanding of problems andimplementation of practices based on trends in laws and regulations.

During Environment Month in June of 2015, we conducted educational activities
using posters and in-house bulletins. At the same time, we sought imaginative andoriginal proposals from employees to improve environmental friendliness and gave
awards for outstanding improvements. In July we held an“Energy-Saving Exhibition”
as a place to uncover new energy-saving ideas, especially those that could be used
for production equipment. Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. and affiliates in Japan also
conducted on-site“environmental management inspections.”

Environmental Report“Visualization” of electric energy ………………………………………………………………
To cut down on power consumption and peak power at the Nishimizoguchi
Plant, power usage is displayed graphically on computers. The predicted
power demand is shown in real time on a page of the plant’s intranet site andcan be checked numerically at any time. This makes it easier to adopt usagelimiting behaviors promptly. The temperature highs in weather forecasts arealso shown so that early energy-saving measures can be taken. Visualizing
power consumption in this way raises employees’environmental awarenessand has a synergistic effect with efforts to reduce CO2 emissions (see examples
on page 18). Power consumption has been cut 10% compared with FY2012.

 nvironment management systems and environmentalE
audits at overseas affiliates

Environmental audit

Toyoda Gosei is bolstering environmental management at affiliates
worldwide. In China, where environmental regulations are becoming stricter,special efforts for improvements have been made since 2010 with a central
role played by regional environmental headquarters. Environmental oversightbodies for stricter environmental management were established in the Asian
region in 2014 and in North America in 2015.
We also began environmental audits in 2014 with the aim of checking
environmental management status and enhancing environmental efforts. By
September 2015, environmental audits had been conducted at allinternational locations. Systematic improvements are made in identified areas.
A global summit was held in Japan in November 2015, where the need forenvironmental efforts and upcoming programs were explained, andinformation was shared with top managers from global affiliates.

 ctivities to eliminate compliance and environmentalA
violations and complaints
Environmental inspections are made at all of our offices each year for
maintenance and management. We also analyze problems that occur atother companies, inspect similar facilities, and take preventive measures
to make sure that we do not experience similar problems. In FY 2015 weformulated key management standards for equipment and facilities,
especially those that effect wastewater, and held briefings with relevant
personnel to prevent problems.

Proper disposal and storage of equipment containing PCBs
By law, toxic and persistent polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) must betreated by March 2027. We began outsourcing this treatment in FY2006, andby FY2015 PCB waste from 109 transformers and capacitors had beentreated. During FY2016 we plan to complete treatment of high-concentration
PCB waste (725 stabilizers and other equipment). We will also continue
efforts to systematically treat as-yet untreated low-concentration PCB waste.

activities from fiscal 2011 to 2015. At TGMO, efforts have resulted in an overall
waste reduction of 30%, including:● Switching approximately 20,000 fluorescent tube lighting to low-energy LEDs.
● Reductions of 31 tons of CO₂ per month by making the forming equipment compressor air supply
routes and points of usage visible for necessary maintenance.
● Saved 31 tons of CO₂ per month by switching to compressors with control systems that
automatically shut off the air supply when not being used.
● Conserved 48 tons of CO₂ per month with the introduction of an inverter system for injection
molding machines and water towers.
● 75% reduction in wastewater treatment achieved through a switch in the chrome plating
wastewater treatment equipment, allowing it to operate with a higher treatment capacity.
● Eliminated 70 tons of waste per month by recycling the metal that settles in filtration equipment
during wastewater treatment.
● Acetone contained in paint processes are collected and used in boiler fuel, reusing 7 tons ofwaste each month.
The focus of TG’s 6th Environmental Action Plan will focus on activities to improveenergy efficiency. At TGMO, this will include switching 100% of fluorescent lights to LEDs
at the TGMO headquarters, Indiana and Mississippi plants, and taking measures to improve
the heat efficiency of 67 injection molding machines.
One of TGMO’s efforts to contribute to the community was an afforestation project on
the plant grounds in May 2015. About 2,000 participants, including community residents,
employees and their families worked together to plant about 22,000 trees and bushes overa large area of approximately 6,000 m². This tree-planting event included a performance bycountry music star and Perryville Missouri native Chris Jansen, as well as a plant tour, and theinstallation of a tree-planting commemorative plaque to deepen ties with the community.
TGMO will continue its many efforts to contribute to the community while further
improving its technology and processes, remaining dedicated to customer service as a top
global automotive supplier.

Kaiyo Gomu Co., Ltd. manufactures rubber automobile parts and other generalindustrial rubber products. It is located in a rich natural environment near the historic
Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route in Mie Prefecture. With a desire to contribute to thecommunity, the company performs various environmental preservation and community
service activities. In the Fifth Environmental Action Plan, its efforts were focused on
reducing power consumption and waste materials.
To cut power consumption, about 80 mercury lamps in the plant were switched toLEDs and the number of compressors that supply air to production equipment and tools
was reduced from five to four, one of which was equipped with an inverter. Other efforts
included the use of traditional non-electric mechanical mechanisms in some work robots
and the use of abundant natural groundwater in cooling forming machines. Altogether,
these activities have led to power consumption reductions of about 70%.
Among efforts to reduce waste, the shape of auxiliary tools used in trimming products
was modified to eliminate the need to cut both ends as had been done previously. This
reduced waste by 30%. Heat insulation measures for boiler steam pipe joints increased
thermal efficiency and reduced LNG consumption about 5%. In the Sixth Environmental
Action Plan, the company intends to further cut power consumption and reduce waste.
They aim to reduce CO2 25 t annually by replacing about 300 fluorescent lights with
LED lighting on inspection tables and elsewhere, and by about 140 t annually with theuse of inverters on extrusion machine motors. They have also set a target of reducing
waste 20% by bringing in equipment that does not produce trimming scraps when they
upgrade the extrusion machines that manufacture turbo hoses.
One of the company’s community contribution activities was a plant afforestation
project in May 2014. Around 300 people, including community residents, employees
and their families planted 1,550 trees. As part of a global social contribution activity,
they cleaned up the area around the factory together with community members, anddistributed cookies made at a vocational aid center for people with disabilities toparticipants. In cooperation with the Mie Hometown and Supporting Company Project,
20 employees participated in various activities for the community, such as cleanup
around the Choshigawa River and preservation and cleanup of the Hajikami Pass on thehistoric Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route. In recognition of these activities, they wereselected for Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.’s Environmental Excellence Award for the third time.
The also received the 2014 Award of Excellence for Healthy and Safe Workplaces fromthe Kumano Owase Labor Standards Association.

Toyoda Gosei’s Plant Afforestation program has continued since 2009.
Together with local communities, we create environments that coexist withnature. In this program, trees of various species suited to the local
environment are planted at high density. They grow through competition,
becoming “true woodlands” that are resistant to natural disasters.
Employees, their families, and community members participate in the treeplanting, and various events conducted on the planting day are organized tofoster solidarity among participants. After the tree-planting, employees
continue to manage the planted areas, weeding and recording observationsof tree growth. Seedlings grown from seeds in the company are used inplanting events. In FY2015, tree-planting projects were carried out at the
Miwa Technical Center, Chusei Gomu Co., Ltd., TG Missouri Corporation,
and Tai-yue Rubber Industrial Co., Ltd. Over seven years, a total of 280,000
trees have been planted in 23 locations.

Wide use of LEDs within the company
We have been increasing the use of LED lighting within the company since2011. By FY2012 we had finished switching about 70,000 lights fromfluorescent type to LED. By FY2017 we plan to replace high ceiling lighting
at all business locations in Japan with LED lighting. In FY2014 we changed
approximately 2,000 lights to LED in our Morimachi Plant and Inoguchi
Gymnasium.**Excluding certain special lights and processes

Spread of LED products
We carry out every step in the development and production ofenvironmentally efficient LED products, from elements to LED packages. In
FY2015 we developed an LED package for lighting that has world-classefficiency, 30% higher than our previous product. Making the LED die andpackage smaller contributes to greater freedom in the design of lighting
equipment.

Water clover

Based on the idea of raising environmental awareness through activities toprotect nearby nature and creatures in the local environment, the Miwa
Technical Center established a biotope pond in one corner of the plantgrounds in FY2014. The project started with a survey of the Oe River thatruns to the west of the Center. Based on the results, three main activities
were adopted: preserving endangered medaka, or Japanese rice fish;
restoring Japanese fireflies that are thought to have inhabited the region; andexpanding the habitat of the damselfly. About 20 species of shrubs, trees andaquatic plants were planted around the pond so that flowers could be seen
throughout the year.
In April 2015, local children released firefly larvae and medaka. In FY2015,
water clover was transplanted into the biotope, and a survey confirmed thatdamselfly larvae inhabited the pond and there was a new generation of
medaka. We are continuing our activities to slow the loss of biodiversity thatis thought to be progressing on a global scale, as indicated in the goals of the
Aichi Biodiversity Targets.

High ceiling LED lighting, Morimachi Plant

In FY2015 we participated in various shows and events to increase thelevel of recognition of our attractive LED technologies and products. At
Messe Nagoya, we exhibited LEDs for space lighting and liquid crystal
displays, as well as automobile LED products that combine our automotive
part and LED technologies. At LED Next Stage, one of the largest exhibitionsin Japan, we showed example applications of our world-class high-efficiency
LEDs for lighting, and our LED products for automobiles, including LED
radiator grille illumination and LED dome lamps. We were a co-sponsor of
Nagoya Akarinight again in FY2015, presenting a 7 m design object called“Rainbow Crystal Tree”that used about 15,000 LEDs.

LED lighting at international affiliates ……………………………………………………………
To promote the use of LEDs, we are installing LED lighting in Toyoda Gosei
Group companies worldwide. In North America, they were put in at TG MissouriCorp. and Toyoda Gosei North America Corp. Use is also growing in China,
where the installation of LED high-ceiling lights at Tianjin Star Light Rubber and
Plastic Co., Ltd. and elsewhere cut power consumption about 50%. When
Toyoda Gosei (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. moved to a new location, all lighting was
switched to LEDs. We are also proposing their use at worldwide facilities with afocus on the Toyota Group, and in FY2015 we worked for the introduction of
LED lighting at Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK and other companies.

Commercialization of LED lighting for medical facilities; proposals and adoption in plant cultivation research……
In FY2015 we completed LED modules for lighting equipment for medical
facilities based on light and color modulating base lights developed together
with Sanken Electric Co. and Yamada Shomei Lighting Co. This was one
more step toward the commercialization of bedside lights for hospitals.
RGB (red, green, blue) and white LEDs have been adopted by Chubu
University for research on growing cacti with LED light sources. Fluorescentlights and RGB LEDs have been used in experiments because red and blue
wavelength light was considered to be suitable for plant growth. However,since blue and red wavelengths are also included in white LEDs, we
proposed combining them with RGB. A proof of concept experiment with
RGB and the four colors of white LEDs was started in July 2015.

Better design of LED illumination lamps
LED illumination lamps for radiator grille decoration have a high level ofdesignability, and make for a more striking brand image. In the illumination
lamps mounted in radiator grilles, the light is adjusted with a combinationof inner and outer lenses. Light is dispersed by treating these surfaces, anda sparkling sensation is achieved. By producing a sense of unity with theheadlights, the brand image of a vehicle can be elevated.

TOYODA GOSEI REPORT 2016

Use of LEDs in the dome lamps for vehicle rear seats reduced energy
consumption 95% compared with previous products. Older rear dome lamps
used traditional bulbs, and by switching to LEDs the energy use is significantly
decreased. LED lamps have greater directionality than traditional light bulbs,
which send light out over a wide range. This directionality makes it possible tosend the light only where it is wanted. In addition to contributing to better
designs, LEDs also give greater freedom of use as other parts can be installednear LED lamps since they emit little heat.

Independent opinion

Steady progress toward the TG 2050 Environmental Challenge
The comments in this independent opinion are focused on theenvironmental report section, and are based on an advance explanation of
the main purport of the report from the people in charge.
Major topics in this report are the formulation of the TG 2050
Environmental Challenge and the start of the Sixth Environmental Action
Plan, which are taken up in the feature section.
The 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change, accepting the Fifth Assessment
Report of the International Panel on Climate Change (UNFCCC), adopted theParis Agreement. This is a new framework with the participation of all 196
countries and regions belonging to the UNFCCC. The Paris Agreement sets a
globally shared, long-term goal of not only keeping the rise in global
temperature to less than 2 ℃ above the temperature before the industrial
revolution, but also seeks to limit the rise to less than 1.5℃. What these targets
mean is that the emissions of greenhouse gases in the second half of thiscentury need to be essentially zero.
Toyota Motor Corporation was one of the first to respond to this change in
the global framework, announcing the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050
last year. Toyoda Gosei responded in kind with the announcement of its
own TG 2050 Environmental Challenge in February of this year.
In the TG 2050 Environmental Challenge, Toyoda Gosei has set the targetsof limiting plant CO2 and waste emissions and water use to zero, whileproviding products that contribute to low carbon and recycling societiess polymer and LED technologies.
through the company’To achieve these challenges, they will probably need to establish a specificroad map and key performance indicators for each of the six challenges in
the TG 2050 Environmental Challenge, matched to the six sides of thebenzene ring in its logo, and work toward their goals with action plans inunits of five years each.

This TG Report describes the results of activities implemented over the five
years of the Fifth Environmental Action Plan that ended last year. The activity
areas may be broadly divided into reduction of environmental impacts andenvironmental management. For reduction of environmental impacts, efforts
are described in the areas of preventing atmospheric warming, effective useof resources, and controlling and reducing substances that impact theenvironment. In the area of environmental management, the report covers
collaborations with local communities, raising environmental awareness andmanagement, and the contributions of environmentally-friendly LEDs. The
usual concept of“environmental management”includes the reduction ofenvironmental impacts as a crucial goal as well as all of the activities
reported here. I would like to see Toyoda Gosei as well organize theconcepts in their definition of environmental management and their areas ofactivity.
Reading the results of the Fifth Environmental Action Plan, one sees thatthe company not only makes the obvious efforts of reducing theenvironmental impacts of the production process for each of their products,
but also makes impressive efforts to reduce vehicle weight in ways unknown
to users. Achieving zero CO2 emissions, waste, and water usage—the aims of
the TG 2050 Environmental Challenge—will obviously not be easy. However,s strengths in materials technology and the high level ofgiven Toyoda Gosei’
its production technology, it will not be unrealistic for them to achieve thesegoals while also helping to bring about lightweight vehicles and zero CO2
s steadycars with their innovative plastics. I look forward to the company’progress in its TG 2050 Environmental Challenge.

TOYODA GOSEI REPORT 2016

Defect-free process completion is carried out in production and otherprocesses for parts involved in the basic automotive functions of running,turning, and stopping, as these parts are directly linked to safety. We want
the Toyoda Gosei name to equal quality in the minds of customers
worldwide. For this purpose, we advance quality assurance declaration
activities at all production locations. This means that all employees makeefforts to improve safety and the people in charge of all manufacturing
processes improve quality through the development of people and processes.
When a mechanism that can ensure the target quality has been completed
and is in place, the manager makes a“safety declaration”to the president orsite manager. That president or site manager then conducts a site inspection.
Through“jidoka ,”we improve quality by creating processes that do not
produce or pass on any defects and developing workers with a highsensitivity to safety and to avoiding mistakes. We also have full-time auditors
who audit and improve processes at all production sites globally.
A system is in place so that whenever a quality problem occurs in themarket, we can quickly investigate the causes based on information fromautomakers and implement prevention measures. When it is difficult to
pinpoint the cause of a problem and develop solutions internally, we workwith the quality departments of automakers to take precise measures toprevent recurrence based on inspections with test vehicles and other means.
In this way we prevent such quality defects from occurring in the next
products.

TQM for a stronger, better company ………………………………………………………………
With“Customer First”firmly in mind, we carry out TQM programs globally
to raise the quality of products and work to increase individual andorganizational dynamism. All employees make continuous improvementsfrom their respective positions. In this way we build stronger, better corporate
structures throughout the Toyoda Gosei Group. Each year we hold a small

solving techniques. Workplace superiors also become involved in practical problemsolving situations for their young subordinates to improve their leadership skills.
We also stress language education for young employees. In the period between
informal acceptance and official employment, young people study English throughe-learning. After joining the company, they gain further motivation to learn English
through intensive training with native English-speaking instructors. We are also working
to enhance the personnel development tools that can be used by all employees.
To stimulate human resources development, senior trainers recruited in-house (fromthe Human Resources Development Division) serve as training instructors. Conveying
the knowledge and skills they have accumulated on the job, they help others todevelop practical skills and promote on-the-job training in cooperation with people incharge of personnel development in each department.

Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. conducts regular mental health education for
managing supervisors and general and deputy managers, promoting efficient
workplace operations and smooth communication. We also distributemental health education news to all employees once a month to raise theirunderstanding of these issues. At each business location, company nurses
and external counselors provide counseling to promote mental health. That
fewer individuals are coming in for consultations is taken as evidence of the
program’s effectiveness.
In FY2015 we carried out preparations for the introduction of stresschecks in FY2016 in response to legal reforms.

Business results and profits
Our automotive parts business for the current term enjoyed increased
revenues thanks to increased vehicle production in North America as
well as the effect of the weak yen. Overall sales reached a record highfor the second consecutive year, coming in at 781.8 billion yen, a 7.4%
increase over the previous year. Operating profits were up 2.9% over theprevious year to 42.8 billion yen thanks to increased sales in theautomotive parts business and rationalization efforts, and despite
increased fixed costs including production preparation and development
costs for new products and increased startup costs in Europe. Ordinary
income was down 5.3% to 41.4 billion yen, due in part to currency

Green procurement
We do our utmost for environmentally-friendly procurement based on ourGreen Procurement Guidelines （3rd Edition）, which consist of threecomponents: establishing environmental management systems; improving
regulatory compliance and environmental performance; and managing
harmful substances. To reduce environmental impacts, we strive to enhance
suppliers’ internal organizations and systems and raise the level of theirproduction activities. Positive results have been achieved, such as
acquisition of ISO 14001 certification and reduction of energy consumption
and waste. We comply with increasingly strict chemical substanceregulations around the world and monitor the chemicals contained in items
procured from suppliers. We also coordinate with suppliers in complying
with European ELV（end-of-life vehicle）and REACH（Registration, Evaluation,
Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals）regulations, and in the
management of volatile organic compounds.

Corporate GovernanceToyoda Gosei aims to grow steadily as a global company, contributing tosocial development with the values of creativity and service to society in our
corporate philosophy. To achieve this, we are strengthening our corporate
governance from the perspective of shareholder value. To meet the expectationsof stakeholders, we maintain organizational systems that can respond rapidly
and appropriately to environmental changes and a sound management systemthat is both fair and transparent.
Specifically, we have limited directors’ terms to one year and appointed
corporate officers to separate business execution from management supervisionin order to respond flexibly to changes in the business environment and to clarify
management responsibilities. To raise the transparency and health of ouroperations, we appointed an external director in June 2015 and then increased
the number to several external directors in June 2016 to strengthen oversightand supervisory functions of our directors. We have also established deliberative
bodies and committees that will be involved in discussing and deciding importantmatters and checking business execution.

Crisis Management Project in anticipation of large-scale earthquake disasters ………
Japan is a land of earthquakes, and we have put into place a crisis management system for the
event of a massive earthquake based on the principles of human life first, community support, andearly recovery. Specifically, we are carrying out a Crisis Management Project to strengthen ourability to deal with disasters, focusing on the two areas of developing and enhancing first responses
and clarifying response procedures for quick restoration of production. Since 2013 we haveconducted resilience training more than 40 times for directors and members of anti-disaster
departments, based on the idea that in addition to infrastructure and system measures, improving
the skills of response personnel is essential. We have also established specific procedures for therecovery of affected buildings, facilities, and processes and for alternative production in a
production recovery system. Recovery training for design drawings and other data is also carriedout so that product development can be continued even after disasters.
In 2015 we provided support for affiliates and suppliers in enhancing their crisis management.
Weaknesses were identified through evaluations using an“anti-earthquake measure
implementation status check sheet”and graphing the results. We then worked together to draw
up business continuity plans.
