EHS Management
TEL’s environmental, health and safety initiatives have spread across the globe.

EHS Activities for Improving
the Environment, Health and Safety
TEL is firmly aware how important it is to undertakestrong and continuous environmental, health and safety(EHS) initiatives, and the entire group is constantly conducting such activities. Our Management Philosophy
emphasizes these topics in the following sentences: “TheTEL Group places the highest consideration on the global
environment, as well as the safety and health of itsemployees, customers and every person connected,
directly or indirectly, with our business activities. We
believe that keeping safety, health and the environment
foremost in our thoughts will build trust in our businessand result in long-term profit growth for the company.”

EHS Promotion System
Our EHS system takes the form of three pillars: “ProductEHS,” which advances EHS priorities in our products ingeneral; “Customer-site EHS,” which advances those priorities during and after start-up of our products; and“Factory and Office EHS,” which concerns TEL’s facilities.

In order to strengthen our EHS management system, we
are increasing the monitoring that verifies the system
function and results. Monitoring is done within plants andoffices, within the Group, or by third parties. We are especially focusing on the TEL Internal Assessment, a programof mutual EHS evaluations by representatives of many
plants and offices, which was instituted in FY 2003. In FY
2005, the three topics of Product EHS Compliance, Product EHS Performance, and Environmental Performanceand Legal Compliance were added to the earlier programs,
which focused on labor safety and health. These measures have reinforced ourability to check the environmental and safety performance of individual piecesof equipment as well as toallow plants to check eachother’s environmental management.

EHS Management System
TEL is pursuing certification under ISO 14001 at all ourplants. In FY 2005, one each of our manufacturing plants
and offices acquired certification.

All our plants use the Plan / Do / Check / Action(PDCA) cycle for product improvements. This cycle ismandated under the ISO 14001 standard for reducing
environmental burden. Estimates of risks to the environment are also determined in accordance with this system
and measures are taken for designs which have especiallyserious environmental burden. There are some issues
which we are addressing in advance of environmental law.
We believe that taking action on global warming in accordance with the Kyoto Protocol is the most important issue
for the near future.
