Sincere Dealings with Suppliers

Promoting CSR Procurement 1 2 3

DNP seeks the cooperation of our suppliers of materials, equipment, construction supplies, and other items
so that society, DNP, and the suppliers can all achieve sustainable growth. To this end, in March 2006 we
amended our Basic Procurement Policy, and established the DNP Group CSR Procurement Criteria
covering all Group members.

Basic Procurement Policy

Fairness

In choosing suppliers, we follow fair competitive principles based on comprehensive judgment encompassing quality, price advantage, assurance of delivery, follow-up services, reliability, and technical capabilities.

Equal Opportunity

As regards procurement, we believe in being positive in purchasing materials

The DNP Group’s UD

Universal Design Declaration

A company such as DNP, which is closely tied to the business of information and developed “Shueitai” as
its original typeface, is of course dedicated to print that is beautiful and easy to read. We have responded
to an ever-changing Japanese language environment in which character types have increased and decreased, along with a transition from vertical to horizontal writing, and the use of coding and European
languages, and we are always seeking to develop easy to read characters as we meet the increasingneed for diversity in media and expression. Shueitai has never lost its shine since its birth during the Meiji
Period, and continues today to meet the demand for beauty and ease of legibility for all readers of Japanese.
DNP’s business has by now expanded from publication printing to commercial printing and Smart cards,
and even further into packaging, living space materials, and electronics, so much so that it can be said that“Everyone, everyday, has some contact with DNP’s products and services.” We have expanded our “dedication to print that is beautiful and easy to read,” which has been with us since our founding, to include“dedication to creating secure, safe and convenient products and services that are easy to use by every
individual consumer.”Our determination to consider everyone is the source of our DNP Group UD. We have been striving to
make all DNP products and services usable to as many people as possible. So as to make our UD efforts
more fruitful, we established the DNP Group 5 Universal Design Principles. We blend a Universal Design
perspective into every segment of our business, so as to meet the diverse needs of consumers and ourover 30,000 client companies. Our UD efforts are a part of our goal of contributing to the realization of auniversal society in which all can live comfortably and safely.

5 Universal Design Principles in Packaging

The UD Concept: Packaging that enables the comfortable use of products for as many people as possible.
Principle 1

Easy expression for necessary information
User information, such as expiry dates and ingredients, is in simple language and is expressed with appropriate and easy-to-understandfeatures such as color, letter size, layout, and embossing.
Examples: packages with intuitive, easy to open, embossed Braille, illustrations using pictograms

Principle 2

Use in simple intuitively understood ways
Products can be used properly without being influenced by factors suchas experience, knowledge, or visibility.
Examples: packages with openings big enough to grasp with your fingers, packages that areeasy to hold, and packages that can be distinguished by their shape.

Principle 3

Flexible and safe when used
Offers consumers choice in use and has a safety-oriented design for users.
Examples: packages that do not easily transmit heat, packages made of materials that areeasy on the hands, and packages that are easy to store.

Principle 4

Appropriate weight and size
Products that have a certain degree of freedom in choice with a variation ofsize and volume for carrying, storage, and so forth.
Examples: package sizes according to use, packages that can be repacked into smaller portions,
importance given to mobility by being lightweight and compact.

Principle 5

Usable without excessive force or movement
Can be handled with minimum strength and without resorting to unnatural
postures or movements
Examples: Packages that can be opened from either side, easy-to pour bottles, and products
placed in easy-to-remove packages.

Option 1

Products with attractive shapes and expressions
The overall package is appealing and has pleasant designs and shapes.

Option 2

Easy to separate and discard
Products with shapes and structures that are easy to dispose of and separate for garbage collection.

Our Human Research Lab, a Usability Verification Facility
The Human Research Lab is a specialized facility dedicated to examining the psychology and behavior of
consumers, from product recognition through selection, purchase, and use. It has created its own methods
for evaluating the degree to which brand value is correctly communicated to consumers, so that such evaluations can be used in proposals.
The Human Research Lab works closely with the PUL (Packaging Usability Laboratory), a facility that
evaluates packaging ease of use, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of use-accessibility and productappeal.
Main examination points• Product recognition from ad tools such as posters and commercials• The effect on purchasing of storefront POP and package design• Ease of use of package shape and user manuals.

Consumer behavior processing moduleThis consumer behavior processing module systematizedexclusively by DNP divides consumer behavior into three
processes: Recognition, Selection and Purchase, andUse (including storage and disposal). Comprehensive
brand evaluation is achieved through the detailed unearthing of issues in each of these processes.
The three analysis methods shown on the right are
combined corresponding to the survey details, and acomprehensive evaluation is performed in which the degree to which the brand message of the product orservice is being correctly communicated to the consumer.

Brand Analysis Methods
PsychologicalanalysisAnalysis relying on interviews and questionnaires.

Behavioral
analysisAnalysis of the actual experience of the
product or service, such as what kind of
product designs found on store shelves
are often available.

PhysiologicalanalysisAnalysis that measures human physicalresponse, such as line of sight, etc.

health, and household finances.” One aspect of efforts not made at other companies that gets particularly high marks is the explanation of how to forecast public pension income according to the age level of each spouse, and how to forecast income in the event thehusband passes away first. Also, in addition to “second life” preparation guidance, the majority of people also participate in the “explanatory meeting about unemployment insurance” for employees reaching their 58th birthday.

In-house recruiting system
Personnel with specialized skills capable of bringing about therealization of new solutions, business development, technologicaldevelopment, or product development in line with the DNPGroup’s business strategy are recruited from within the Group,
so as to achieve the effective use of personnel and the enliveningof organizations. The employee is given the opportunity tochoose his or her workplace independently.

Self-reporting system
Employees fill out a “Self-Reporting Form” once annually, in which
they describe the form they would like their career to take and notethe kind of self-realization steps and workplace transfers they desire
toward that end. The report is then submitted to the employee’s superiors. This sparks the employee’s motivation toward selfrealization, facilitating the acquisition of practical skills by theemployee while also developing the supervisor’s consciousness
concerning guidance and development of his or her subordinates.

In-house venture system
We inaugurated this system for timely creation of new businessin response to a rapidly changing society in 2000 with the goalof unearthing the seeds of new businesses buried within ourcompany and making active use of the ideas of our employees.
Under this system, an employee submits a new business idea,
and if it passes an in-house examination DNP provides a variety
of forms of support, such as funds, personnel, and facilities,
with the employee that came up with the idea of running thebusiness as a manager.

In-House Learning in a different department
Under this system, an employee can take the initiative in requesting the opportunity to accumulate experience in anotherdepartment or office for a fixed term, after which the employee returns to his or her original position and puts the new knowledge
and skills into practice. This system expands the range of workthat the employee can undertake, and also improves quality. The
superiors at the transfer department provide support for the visiting employee’s goal attainment, and afterward both the employee
and the superiors at both the employee’s original and transfer departments discuss the situation thoroughly so as to ensure
appropriate reassignment after the employee has returned.

(5) In manufacturing a product, we aim to comply with environmental laws and regulations, and moreover we set up more stringent standards to reduce the emissions of pollutants into the air,watershed, and soil, and to prevent unpleasant odors, noise, vibration, and land subsidence. We areconstantly improving facilities, techniques and manufacturing processes to promote the targets ofenergy conservation, resource conservation and the reduction of industrial waste.
(6) When generating waste from business operations, we strive to achieve zero emissions by separating and recycling waste as much as possible.

Independent Review Report Comments by
an Independent Institution
The environmental accounting data was acquired through athird-party audit performed by Ernst & Young ShinNihon
Sustainability Institute Co., Ltd., and is entirely independent of
the data found in the environmental sections of the CSR Report.
http://www.dnp.co.jp/csr/2010/kankyo_e.pdf

Environmental Accounting
Purpose
1. Use as an environmental management tool for the DNP Group(1) Environmental accounting produces a breakdown of environmental conservation costs that can be used as a reference for determining the effectiveness of environmental conservation activities.
(2) Environmental accounting data is used to determine the cost of individual environmental facilities, the Group’s
overall budget for environmental conservation, and the amount of investment in environmental activities.
(3) Environmental accounting is used to monitor and evaluate the effects and achievements of activities performed
throughout the year in order to ensure continuous improvement in our environmental performance.

2. Use as a tool for communicating with society(1) Environmental accounting provides the means for the public release of our environmental conservation efforts andtheir results.
(2) We use the reception concerning our environmental accounting reports as received from shareholders, clients, andlocal communities as a reference for improving our approach to environmental conservation.

Environmental Accounting Calculation Bases(1) Period covered: April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010 (Environmental conservation facilities are those considered as of March 31, 2010)(2) Scope of coverage: Within DNP and among the companies subject to our consolidated financial accounting, domestic manufacturers (37companies), one distribution company, and one in-house food catering company were subjected to environmental accounting.
(3) Monetary unit: All monetary figures are expressed in millions of yen, rounded off to the nearest million.
(4) Announcement format: We used the format designated in the Ministry of the Environment “Environmental Accounting Guideline” 2005 edition.
(5) Basis for the environmental conservation cost
1) The environmental conservation costs include depreciation expenses for investments.
2) Personnel costs for full-time workers were calculated at the average labor cost per person, while personnel costs for workers holding two
or more posts were calculated at 1/10 or 1/5 the average personnel cost per person, depending on the worker’s assigned duty.
3) R&D costs are the total costs incurred by our 5 centers, 7 labs and the Energy Systems Operations Development Unit in researchingand developing low environmental impact products and manufacturing equipment.
(6) Basis for environmental conservation benefits
1) DNP uses consumption per added-value as an indicator for the volume of resources (energy and water) spent on business activities, aswell as for the volume of waste materials and CO2 emissions.
Furthermore, the DNP Group uses the added-value total of the company concerned as an indicator of the volume of business activities,
given that companies within the Group perform product transactions. The added-value amount is calculated pursuant to the “Management Analysis of Japanese Corporations” issued by the Ministry of the Economy, Trade and Industry.
2) The benefit from atmospheric environmental pollutant emissions volume corresponding to business area costs from this period is in regard to all VOCs, including those covered by the PRTR Act.
3) The benefit related to goods produced by business activities is that corresponding to the reduction of CO2 emissions when disposing ofor recycling not only containers or packaging products, as was the case through FY2008, but also dye-sublimation transfer materials.
However, dye-sublimation transfer materials are calculated as non-export, domestically consumed items.
4) The benefit corresponding to the transportation environmental impact is converted to the energy usage reduction benefit to the shipper
at the time the goods, etc. are transported.
(7) Bases for the calculation of the economic benefit of environmental conservation activities
1) The benefit corresponding to resource circulation costs is calculated as the benefit from savings on waste disposal costs.
The reduction amount is calculated as follows: ((Benchmark period unit consumption - unit consumption for the current period) x business activity amount for the current period).
2) The calculation of business activities was performed using the added-value indicated in Item 6 of the above benefit calculation basis.
3) For unit consumption, we use (waste disposal cost/added-value).
4) The benchmark period unit consumption is the gross average value for the three-year period up to and including the previous term.

Evaluation of 2009 Environmental Accounting Performance Data
Environmental conservation cost and environmental conservation activities(1) Investment in environmental facilities was roughly the same as the previous year, mostly consisting in the installationof new VOC collection and disposal equipment and refurbishing of water treatment equipment.
(2) Despite a reduction in depreciation expenses and waste processing costs, business area costs increased over theprevious year to JPY244 million (4.7%) because of increased wastewater processing costs resulting from expanded
production capacity.

Environmental conservation benefit(1) Energy consumption volume and materials input volume decreased in comparison to the previous fiscal year because of increased production efficiency and the decrease in production volume due to reduced demand at theInformation Communication segment. Water input volume increased due to an expansion in the scale of productionin the Electronics segment.
(2) A JPY630 million investment in VOC collection and disposal equipment (JPY1.78 billion over the past three years)
resulted in reduced atmospheric emissions. Waste per unit of production improved over the previous year as a resultof reducing waste emissions by eliminating waste from all production processes and converting undesired materials
to valuable resources through “Manufacturing 21” activities, resulting in our hitting our FY2010 target one year aheadof schedule.
(3) As a result of measures continued from the previous year, such as the optimization of vehicle assignments and transport routes, better efficiency through the installation of digital tachometers, the “idling stop” campaign, the “modal
shift,” and the introduction of hybrids into our fleet, the amount of energy used during transport has been reduced,
broadly improving per unit consumption.

Economic benefit of environmental conservation measures(1) The amount of sales of environmentally conscious products increased over the previous year due to increased salesof printed materials using Forest-Certified Paper and vegetable-based ink, as well as electronics-related products.
We have exceeded our target for three years in a row.
(2) Income from the recycling of undesired materials decreased in comparison with the previous year, despite thoroughseparation and collection for conversion to valuable resources. This was caused by a fall in materials prices.
(3) The economic benefit calculated according to item (7) in the “Environmental Accounting Calculation Bases” showedbroad improvement over the previous year, due to waste emissions reduction through “Manufacturing 21” activities,
progress in the conversion of undesired materials to valuable resources due to thorough separation and collection,and reduction of the volume of waste.

Issues Henceforth(1) Make further improvements in eco-efficiency through activities such as “Manufacturing 21.”(2) Continue to newly install more VOC collection and disposal equipment so as to reduce emissions of VOCs into theatmosphere.
(3) In addition to improving energy use efficiency, proceed with fuel conversions ( LPG

natural gas, city gas) so as toreduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Environmental Risk Management

Legal Compliance Situation
While we make all efforts to comply with environmental laws and regulations, over the past three years wehave experienced four incidents in which water quality standards for wastewater were exceeded. There
are no ongoing legal disputes involving environmental issues. We have unfortunately had some complaints
from areas neighboring our plants concerning noise and odors. Whenever we receive such complaints, we
respond promptly by launching a thorough investigation into the cause of the problem and working to make
improvements.
September 11, 2008

Research & Development Center

An inspection by the authorities revealed that the standards for suspended particle content had been
exceeded, and an Improvement Completion Report was submitted. The cause of the problem was alarge amount of fallen leaves in the reservoir and sludge accumulation in the drain, so cleaning was performed. Regular cleaning has been implemented to prevent recurrence. Measurement by the company
afterwards has shown that standards are not being exceeded.
January 15, 2009

Tokyo Plant, DNP Ellio

An inspection by the authorities revealed that the standards for hexavalent chrome had been exceeded,
and an Improvement Completion Report was submitted. The cause of the problem was diminished capacity of the curate resin in the wastewater treatment facilities, which is replaced regularly (every threemonths), so it was replaced. To prevent recurrence, the twice monthly measurement conducted by theoperators was changed to once a week, and when the control values are found to have been exceeded
the curate resin is replaced.
October 29, 2009

Tanabe Plant, DNP Technopack Kansai

Water quality testing ordered by the authorities found that levels of n-hexane (animal and plant fats) exceeded the legal standards. The cause was thought to be insufficient grease trap capacity, so larger
grease traps were installed as a preventative measure.
February 4, 2010

Izumizaki Plant, DNP Technopack

Due to a malfunction of ink mixing equipment, ink was leaked out of the industrial site via the rainwater
gutters. The cause was found to be an excess supply of solvent caused by a malfunctioning flow volume gauge, causing an overflow from the mixing tank. Flow volume gauge testing procedures wererevised and the monitoring system strengthened as preventative measures.
