Environmental Protection Efforts●

Environmental Management

In addition to the Product Environmental Committee, Production
Engineering Environmental Committee, Environmental Energy
Committee, and Environmental Communication Committee, there
is also a Global Environment Management Meeting composed of
the four regional committees for North America, Europe, China
and Japan. To promote consistent environmental management
across the Group, the global environmental officers participatingin the Meeting share Environmental Policy and plans for entire
Group. Over thirty locations domestically and internationally,
including the R&D Center of the headquarters have obtained
ISO 14001 certification, and by implementing direct and indirectenvironmental impact evaluations, overall environmental
conservation activities are being engaged in from research anddesign to production and logistics.

Environmentally friendly product development

We will strive to develop innovative environmental technologies
and products that lead the world by implementing Greeninitiatives identified in our new medium-term business plan. Our
accomplishments so far include technology development andcommercialization of injection scarfskin, EGR cooler, soft-feel
hard instrument panel and battery-cooled brushless motor. We arealso actively working on creating more compact and lightweightautomobile parts, developing energy/fuel/power-saving products,
and developing alternative coolant air conditioning systems.
●

Global Warming Prevention and CO2 Emissions Reduction

We achieved a 35.2% reduction in gross CO2 emissions fromour domestic plants, against the FY 2013 mid-term target of areduction of 12.5% compared to FY 2005 levels. In addition,
overseas footholds reduced CO2 emissions by 16.4%, which
is much higher than the mid-term target of a reduction of 6.0%
compared to FY2005 levels.
This successful result was obtained thanks to Monozukuri TdC
Revolution (MTCR) activities, as well as Group-wide energysaving activities such as energy-saving diagnosis and horizontal
implementation of good practices, undertaken under theleadership of energy saving teams, which were formed by staff
members in charge of energy saving from all plants to promoteenergy saving.

TOP COMMITMENT

The Calsonic Kansei Group has been undertaking concerted
efforts toward achieving the high level targets set out in its
medium-term environmental action plan, “Calsonic Kansei Group
Green Program 2016 (CKGP2016)”, established in fiscal 2011.
As part of these efforts, NESCO-CK (Nissan Energy Saving
Collaboration-Calsonic Kansei) activities were introduced in FY
2013, combining the energy saving know-how of CK with that of
Nissan Motor Corporation. In FY 2014, while implementing these
activities at domestic locations, we also began implementationinternationally, beginning with China.
We are promoting environmental protection by striking a balance
between environmental protection and financial performance,
while at the same time encouraging every employee to become
more environmentally conscious in their daily work.

Zero Emissions

As a manufacturer that uses limited resources from the earth
as raw materials to produce products, we are committed tothe effective use of resources. As part of such efforts, we are
implementing “zero emissions activities”, activities to reduce final
disposal of wastes as close to zero as possible, as part of ourroutine duties. We aim to achieve and maintain zero emissions at
all group companies and plants throughout the world. In addition
to already having achieved our target of Zero Landfill for domestic
bases, as of last fiscal year the completion limit for overseas
bases was set as FY 2015. With the FY 2013 target for reducing
landfill use to 50%, we are significantly ahead of schedule having
already reduced use to 15%.

Environmental Accounting

The Calsonic Kansei Group has introduced environmental accounting as a tool for quantitative evaluationof environmental activities and official announcements.
Environmental accounting is a means of publicizing and quantitatively summing up the economic
advantages accompanying environmental conservation measures, as well as the benefits and costs ofenvironmental conservation and related activities, and what we publicize in the environmental reportfulfills our commitment to explain our business activities to our various stakeholders.

Establishing a quantitative evaluation summary is helpful for enhancing
our sustainable business management practices.
Those benefits are summed up quantitatively, and announced to society in the form of environmental
accounting through environmental reports. Evaluation of quantitatively calculated results can also assist
our environmental management practices.

Prevention of Air Pollution/Purification of Vehicle Exhaust Gases

Aqueous Urea Tank - Urea SCR System

The nitrogen oxide (NOx) present in exhaust gases is likely to be produced during complete combustion at hightemperatures. By combining this NOx with aqueous urea it can be broken down into harmless water and nitrogen. The
urea SCR system utilizes this mechanism to inject aqueous urea during catalysis, greatly reducing the amount of NOx
produced.
The aqueous urea tank is an important component that supports the urea SCR system.
As the tank is made from stainless steel, it has excellent rustproof properties and, along with the EGR cooler, intercooler
and the aluminum fuel tank, this environmentally friendly product has been developed to meet the various needs of ourcustomers.
This is the first time anywhere in the world that an aqueous urea tank has been mass-produced for vehicle installation andis highly durable and corrosion resistant.

LCA Efforts (Product Environmental Impact Evaluation)

By quantitatively evaluating and understanding the environmental impact of products, Calsonic Kansei assesses theappropriateness of product plans, determines whether developmental plans are required or not, and sets priorities forenvironment-conscious matters during the product design, development and manufacturing processes, etc. and implement
suitable environmental measures.
We have already calculated the internal environmental burden per unit for each of the products we make at our
manufacturing plants, and we have entered this information into databases as LCA data for self-manufactured products.
LCA data are also calculated for selected target vehicle types. In 2006, we started seriously examining how to assess methods
for evaluating the environmental aspect of products during the product development process and utilize the results. In 2007,
we built a CO2 emissions-computing system to calculate the CO2 emission amounts generated during the manufacturing
process for each of our products.

Efforts to Manage Chemical Substances

Substances that could impact the environment are used in some products, and for the manufactureof items designed to improve the quality of these products. Therefore, there are concerns that thesesubstances could have a significant impact on the environment during the manufacture and use of theseproducts and also when they are discarded.
Global awareness of the environment is now increasing and more requests to reduce/stop using thesesubstances are coming in every year, both from home and abroad.
In response, we are promoting the responsible management of chemical substances (environmentallyhazardous substances) by adhering to the laws and regulations of each country, responding promptly to
our customers’ requests, and setting our own goals voluntarily.
1

Basic Concepts

To achieve responsible risk management for“ products”,“ manufacturing process”,“ purchased materials” and“ processedmaterials”, we adhere to the following fundamental principles:“ Use as few harmful chemicals as possible”,“ eliminate as many
harmful substances as possible and change to alternatives” and“ properly manage harmful chemicals if they have to be used.”

Efforts Directed Towards Reducing VOC Levels in Vehicle Interiors
Calsonic Kansei has set goals aimed at reducing and abolishing 13 volatile organic compounds (VOC) such asformaldehyde, toluene and xylene, which are included in the adhesives and coating materials used in car interior products
and can cause irritation to the nose and throat. We have set a target for their elimination and a reduction in usage ofrelated materials and coatings. We are now expanding the list of target materials used for these sorts of application.

Materials

Coatings① Using materials that do not contain formaldehyde② Using adhesives that contain less toluene and xylene① Developing/using coatings that contain less toluene
and xylene (TX-free coatings)② Developing water-based coatings containing only asmall amount of solvent

Immediate Disclosure of the Amount of Environmentally Hazardous Substances Used in Products
All automobile makers now require suppliers, including Calsonic Kansei, to refrain from using prohibited substances and toreport the materials and substances used in products through IMDS.
To comply with this request, we have developed and formulated an IMDS entry support system called “GMDS” to promote
the prompt disclosure of information to customers.

In this system, the parts list is automaticallyincorporated into GMDS, and the entry operator
can compile data in the IMDS by entering only

Domestic

We are conducting environmental compliance evaluations at each of our bases. In addition, in order to comply
with the VOC emission regulations, we have installed thinner collection devices at plants that are subject tocontrol. As a result, our plants continue to operate without violating any regulations.

Overseas

At each of our overseas bases, we are changing over to the use of low-toluene and low-xylene paints.

Environmental Report 2014

Support for PRTR Legislation (Calsonic Kansei + Domestic affiliated companies)
In order to confirm the amounts of PRTR-regulated substances discharged, moved and used, and to reduce theenvironmental burden, we are reducing the amounts of PRTR-regulated substances used by changing coating materials
and setting the goal of a 6% reduction in emissions per unit by FY 2016, compared with FY 2010.
Due to the factors listed below, the amounts of PRTR-regulated substances used in FY 2013 increased, and so it was notpossible to achieve the target emissions per unit levels.
●Increased production involving the painting process led to an increase in solvent used
●Increased production of EGR coolers led to an increase in nickel used

We can reduce sulfur oxide (SOx) and CO2 consumption by switching to Special Heavy Oil A fuel (containing only 10%of the sulfur content of Heavy Oil A) as well as converting natural gas for combustion and reducing the amount used byadopting energy-saving activities.

Environmental Contamination Accidents or Grievances
Rules for collecting data on overseas environmental accidents were established in FY 2011 in order to manage them asquickly as possible.
No environmental accidents with the potential to affect the environment at large occurred in FY 2013.

Environmental Report 201422

Efforts to Clean up Soil Ground Water and Prevent Contamination
We are addressing the current situation by focusing efforts on plants which have already been contaminated, and we are
implementing preventive measures and conducting thorough investigations.

1 Efforts for Advanced Prevention● Switching from subterranean fuel management to above ground management. (All completed in FY 2003)● Converting from Special Heavy Oil A to Natural Gas and LPG (including CO2 reductions)

2 Thorough Surveying

Efforts to Manage
Chemical Substances

Calsonic Kansei procures various items such as raw materials, indirect materials and component parts and believes
that managing all procured items is an important part of the responsible management of environmentally hazardous
substances.
We ask for our suppliers’ cooperation in following the “Calsonic Kansei Green Procurement Guidelines” that were createdin order to comply with the relevant laws and regulations and to accommodate customers’ requests. This enables us tocontinue promoting Green Procurement with our suppliers in order to fulfill our social responsibilities.

Operation for Green Procurement
The “Calsonic Kansei Green Procurement Guidelines” set out legislation stipulating the substances that are to be
managed, how to conduct survey reports on chemical substances included in items we have purchased, and evaluationsof the environmental management system status of our suppliers.

1 Environmental Efforts for Purchased Items (Materials, Parts, Products, Indirect Materials and Packaging Materials)● We conduct surveys of the substances included in purchased items (materials, parts, products and packaging materials).
● We confirm that any chemical substances included in purchased items (materials, parts, products and packaging
materials) comply with the requirements by using IMDS, SDS, etc.

2 Investigation for the Establishment of Environmental Management Systems①Accreditation for an environmental management system such as ISO 14001 has been acquired.
②Accreditation for an environmental management system such as ISO 14001 is being promoted, and a clear plan with aconcrete schedule for acquisition has been established.
③Equivalent activities to either of the above are ongoing.

Efforts Towards
an Environmentally Balanced Factory

The Calsonic Kansei Group is quantitatively evaluating the environmental burden output resulting from its industrial operations,and striving to reduce this burden by gaining a comprehensive understanding of the impact of all operations.
We promote reduced carbon emissions and reduced emissions per unit from the viewpoint of global warming and also promote
100% reuse of resources in order to create zero waste from the viewpoint of the effective use of resources, so that our factories
can operate in balance with the environment.
Furthermore, in 2013, same as in 2012, our concerted efforts called “Energy Saving Special Activities” greatly surpassed theoriginal targets and promoted energy management.

Prevention of Global Warming

NESCO-CK (Nissan Energy Saving Collaboration-Calsonic Kansei) activities were introduced in FY 2013, combining theenergy saving know-how of CK with that of CK’s major client, Nissan Motor Corporation. In FY 2014, while implementing
these activities at domestic locations, we also began implementation internationally, beginning with China.
Energy-saving diagnoses have been completed at 18 locations including all Calsonic Kansei plants, the Testing ResearchCenter, Research and Development Center of the headquarters and domestic affiliated companies, leading to improvement
proposals to reduce total CO2 emissions by 3.3%, with measures being put in place.
Energy-saving diagnoses are underway at main locations for overseas affiliated companies.

Thank you for reading the“2014 Calsonic Kansei Environmental Report”.
We have summarized the Calsonic Kansei Group’s efforts for environmental conservation
activities in FY 2013 in the “2014 Calsonic Kansei Environmental Report”.
We have stressed the importance of “summarizing the environmental conservation
activities of Calsonic Kansei as clearly as possible in this report to all readers” and“describing our updated activities and showing that they comply with all relevant
guidelines.”
We have also stopped issuing this report in written form on paper in order to help conserve
the environment.
We would like to stay in close communication with you through the Calsonic Kansei
Environmental Report, now and in the future.
