Environmental Management

As part of efforts to reinforce our environmental management
promotion structure, we established the Global Environment
Management Meeting in fiscal 2011. In addition to the existing
four committees (Product Environmental Committee, Production
Engineering Environmental Committee, Environmental Energy
Committee, and Environmental Communication Committee), four
regional committees for North America, Europe, China and Japan
were also established, to ensure that environmental policies andplans are shared and implemented among all Group companies
around the world. Furthermore, to promote effective environmental management across the Group, we hold liaison meetings
where environmental officers from all Group companies exchange
information. In June 2012, the R&D Center of the Headquarters
launched activities to obtain ISO 14001 certification, although it
was not originally planned to be incorporated into the company’s

Global Warming Prevention and CO2 Emissions Reduction

We achieved a 38.4% reduction on average in the last 5 years ingross CO2 emissions from our domestic plants, against the targetof “7% reduction on average in the period from 2008 to 2012,
compared to fiscal 1990 levels,” set by the Japan Auto Parts Industries Association.
This successful result was obtained thanks to Monotukuri Challenge Runner (MTCR) activities, as well as Group-wide energysaving activities such as energy-saving diagnosis and horizontal
implementation of good practices, undertaken under the leadership of energy saving teams, which were formed by staff members
in charge of energy saving from all plants to promote energy saving.

TOP COMMITMENT

The Calsonic Kansei Group has been undertaking concerted efforts toward achieving the high level targets set out in its mediumterm environmental action plan, “Calsonic Kansei Group Green
Program 2016 (CKGP2016)”, established in fiscal 2011.
2012 was the last year of the first commitment period of the Kyoto
PROTOCOL (2008-2012). The Japanese government’s target
was to reduce the GHG emissions by 6% relative to the 1990 level. Our company greatly surpassed the goal by reducing the GHG
emissions by 44.5% in 2012 and by 38.4% on average in the last
five years.
This is the result of vigorous implementation of our aggressive energy saving strategies including promotion of energy saving activities by all staff, investment in energy saving such as smart metersand LED lighting, energy saving diagnosis at the global level, andrestructuring of domestic factories that have decreasing volume of
production.
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.

Continuous Improvement of Environmental Management System (EMS)
As part of our efforts to continuously improve our environmental management system, we are working to increase the number of internal auditors at each business site. We also conduct internal and external environmental audits on a regular basis;internal audits are carried out under the leadership of the Environmental Energy Control Group of the Headquarters, and external audits are conducted by external agencies.

Environmental Report 201312

5 Environmental Accounting
The Calsonic Kansei Group has introduced environmental accounting as a tool for quantitative evaluation of 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 of environmental conservation and related activities, and what we publicize in the environmental report fulfills ourcommitment 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 high temperatures. 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 andthe aluminum fuel tank, this environmentally friendly product has been developed to meet the various needs of our customers.
This is the first time anywhere in the world that an aqueous urea tank has been mass-produced for vehicle installation and ishighly durable and corrosion resistant.

LCA Efforts (Product Environmental Impact Evaluation)

By quantitatively evaluating and understanding the environmental impact of products, Calsonic Kansei assesses the appropriateness of product plans, determines whether developmental plans are required or not, and sets priorities for environmentconscious 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.

Environmental Report 2013

7 Efforts to Manage Chemical Substances
Substances that could impact the environment are used in some products, and for the manufacture ofitems designed to improve the quality of these products. Therefore, there are concerns that these substances 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 “processed materials”, 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.”

Environmentally Hazardous
Substances in Products●Reducing the amounts of environmentally hazardous substances used in products●Immediate disclosure of the amounts of environmentally hazardous substances usedin products

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 as formaldehyde, toluene and xylene, which are included in the adhesives and coating materials used in car interior products and cancause irritation to the nose and throat. We have set a target for their elimination and a reduction in usage of related 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
Almost all automobile makers now require suppliers, including Calsonic Kansei, to refrain from using prohibited substances
and to report 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.

Chemical Substances

In this system, the parts list is automatically incorporated into GMDS, and the entry operator
can compile data in the IMDS by entering only
minimum information. This system allows the entry operator to carry out IMDS registration withoutmanually entering large amount of data on the
IMDS Web Screen.

We have set our voluntary management targets (80% of the regulatory value) and are conducting stricter management thanthe law requires.

Thorough Air Quality Management
We can reduce sulfur oxide (SOx) and CO2 consumption by switching from Heavy Oil A fuel to Special Heavy Oil A fuel(containing only 10% of the sulfur content of Heavy Oil A) as well as converting natural gas and LPG for combustion and reducing the amount used by adopting 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 as quickly as possible.
Although one environmental accident with the potential to affect the environment at large occurred in FY 2012, our quick responses were able to minimize the damage.
After each accident, the situation was rapidly assessed and the causes were
investigated in order to cope with the situation. (A report has already been
submitted to the government.)

Calsonic Kansei procures various items such as raw materials, indirect materials and component parts and believes thatmanaging 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 created inorder to comply with the relevant laws and regulations and to accommodate customers’ requests. This enables us to continue 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 evaluations of 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, MSDS, 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 fromits industrial operations, and striving to reduce this burden by gaining a comprehensive understanding of
the impact of all operations.
2012 was the last year of the first commitment period of the Kyoto PROTOCOL (2008-2012). The Japanese government’s target was to reduce the GHG emissions by 6% relative to the 1990 level. Our company greatly surpassed the goal by reducing the GHG emissions by 44.5% in 2012 and 38.4% on average in the last five years.
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 2012, same as 2011, our concerted efforts called “Energy Saving Special Activities”
greatly surpassed the original targets and promoted our energy management.

Prevention of Global Warming

Conclusions
Thank you for reading the“2013 Calsonic Kansei Environmental Report”.
We have summarized the Calsonic Kansei Group’s efforts forenvironmental conservation activities in FY 2012 in the “2013
Calsonic Kansei Environmental Report”.
We have stressed the importance of “summarizing the environmental conservation activities of Calsonic Kansei as clearlyas 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 liketo stay in close communication with you through the CalsonicKansei Environmental Report, now and in the future.

September 2013
