In Harmony with the Local Community
The TEL Group is building relationships for mutual development through various forms of social involvement, including initiatives forthe development of young people as future leaders, community-based citizenship activities in response to local needs, and support forrecovery and revitalization efforts in the Tohoku region that was affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Supporting science education
Science class
To provide elementary school children with an opportunity to know the fun ofscience, we held an event titled “Fun Topics of Science” consisting of a scienceshow and classes with demonstrative experiments. A total of 1,800 children andtheir families visited the science show featuring various experiments, such asexperiencing the power of air by demonstrating an air cannon. In classes held on
the curious characteristics of low temperatures and other science-related subjects,
elementary school children watched experiments enthusiastically.
The TEL Group will continue to hold this popular annual event.

Environmental conservation
Planting trees in Tokyo Electron Forest
As part of our effort to develop forests and conserve the environment, we plant
trees in Tokyo Electron Forest. Under this project, we intend to plant 3,000 konara
oak trees (Quercus serrate) in five years in a 3.1-hectare area at the foot of theYatsugatake Mountains, which is one of the greatest sights to behold in Yamanashi
Prefecture. During the third tree planting event, about 200 employees and family
members planted 800 konara seedlings. The participants worked hard, some evenon steep slopes, with mud and dirt on their clothes. Tree planting provides wild
animals with their habitat and food, and also creates fertile soil.
We will continue endeavoring to conserve the global environment with gratitudeand consideration for nature.

Corporate philanthropy
Sponsoring Grand Gala, Great East Japan
Earthquake memorial charity ballet show
In March 2013, we sponsored the Grand Gala Concert, Great East Japan Earthquake
memorial charity ballet show at Tokyo Electron Hall Miyagi in Sendai City, Miyagi
Prefecture, and Bunkamura Orchard Hall in Tokyo. In organizing this ballet show,
Shinobu Takita, a principal dancer in the Kiev Ballet, the National Ballet of Ukraine,
called for participation of dancers around the world who are in harmony with thepurpose of the concert. The price of one concert ticket included a 1,000 yen donation toan earthquake recovery fund, and we were able to donate a total of 3,195,000 yen from
1,388 tickets sold for the Sendai show and 1,807 tickets for the Tokyo show.

Tohoku Recovery Project
For over two years immediately following the Great East Japan
Earthquake, Tokyo Electron has carried out supportive activities,
including providing donations and holding various events. Hoping
to help revitalize disaster-hit communities by making children
and local residents happy, we are providing ongoing support forrebuilding and the earliest possible recovery.
Providing donations to 87 disaster-affected
elementary and junior high schools
With the cooperation of education boards in Miyagi and Iwate
Prefectures, we donated a total of 26.4 million yen to 87
elementary and junior high schools affected by the disaster.
The schools used the donations for club activities and afterhours classes for the students.

Supporting communities based in temporary housing
In 2012, we donated health appliances and other products
to 725 locations of temporary housing in Miyagi and IwatePrefectures. We selected items to be shared at meeting
places to help stimulate communication between sites
and to build communities. We worked together with local
businesses in procuring and delivering items to donate inconsideration of recovery of the disaster-hit areas.
Providing students with workplace experience
With the cooperation of Iwate Prefecture’s education board,
TEL Tohoku Plant carried out a workplace experience
program for two local junior high schools.

Donating a PV power generation system
Aiming to provide opportunities to become familiar with renewable energy,
Tokyo Electron donated a total of 11 photovoltaic power generation systems
to schools and public facilities in Miyagi and Iwate Prefectures (7 in Miyagi
and 4 in Iwate). The PV systems we donated use thin film silicon PV panels,
which is the technology we are currently most focused on in our PV panel
production equipment business. By standardizing components required for
installation and using a temporary pile foundation engineering installation
method, we were able to shorten the installation work period and make itpossible to easily relocate the systems
when required along with the progress ofrecovery efforts.
