Message from the President

With our foundation in the Sumitomo Business Spirit,
we will go on providing “first-class products” and services
that contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
I would like to say thank you to all our stakeholders: Your longstanding support and understanding of our Group's corporate
activity are greatly appreciated.
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group established the
Corporate Governance Basic Policy of Sumitomo Heavy
Industries in November 2015. Regarding initiatives to addressenvironmental problems, this Basic Policy specifies that:“By formulating a Medium-Term Environmental Plan in
addition to establishing the Sumitomo Heavy Industries
Group Environmental Policy, we will take positive, active
measures to resolve environmental problems.”
All members of the Group are acting as one to this end.
As to our specific activities, these have been promoted in
the 4th Medium-Term Environmental Plan (FY2014-2016). The
4th Medium-Term Environmental Plan sets forth the following
basic policies:●

Promote environmental risk management●

Contribute to achievement of a low-carbon society●

Realize a resource-recycling society●

Contribute to local communities and take measuresfor biodiversity

In fiscal year 2016, which is the plan's final fiscal year, we
will take steps to pursue these policies and further promote
environmental activities at Group companies, including thosein other countries.
The business environment for the Sumitomo Heavy Industries
Group is changing moment by moment, and societal demands
are also changing day by day. Under these circumstances,and in light of the management situation and changes in thebusiness environment, we took steps in 2015 to revise theGroup management philosophy for the first time in 16 years.
As we go forward, we will take this management philosophy as
the focal point for our business activities as well as the starting
position for Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group employees.
The environmental programs we have been pursuing in theGroup, including our activities to prevent global warming, havealways been in response to important societal demands. They
have also always been in accord with the “Sumitomo BusinessSpirit” as well as with our new management philosophy, which
declares, “Taking integrity as our principle, we will earn thehigh regard and trust of all our stakeholders and contribute tosociety.”
I myself have a very keen awareness of the importance ofenvironmental activities. Therefore I will conscientiously andsteadfastly make every effort to see that the top managementin each business division and every Group company as well as
all the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group employees engage in
specific implementation of these activities.
In furthering the various environmental activities of theSumitomo Heavy Industries Group described in the FY2016
edition of our Environmental Sustainability Report, I will base
our approach on the recently revised management philosophy.
I intend to communicate the 4th Medium-Term Environmental
Plan to employees in simple, readily understandable terms sothat we can elicit the maximum energy and capacity from every
individual.
Here at the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group, we hope that
our efforts will result in even more of our stakeholders gaining
an awareness of the Group's activities. We will then hear moreof your opinions to incorporate into various of our activities,
furthering our ceaseless efforts to reform ourselves, as we
steadily move toward realization of the Group's objectives.
We appreciate your opinions and advice, and we will be very
pleased to draw on them for our future initiatives.

HIGHLIGHTS

Yokohama Factory contributes to biodiversity
with rooftop vegetable garden- Sumitomo Heavy Industries Modern, Ltd. -Eggplants grown in 2016

Sumitomo Heavy Industries Modern, Ltd., has built a rooftop vegetablegarden at its Yokohama Factory. This originally started in 1994, when the
Yokohama No. 1 Factory was being built, and we took measures to address
the factory greening ratio. After that, we began putting potted trees in
offices, dining halls, and meeting rooms to contribute to increased
greening. This developed into our rooftop vegetable garden.
Our initial purpose was to raise the greening ratio of the factory. The
dining hall and meeting rooms were located on the fourth floor, and theview from the dining hall was of beautiful, luxuriant green, so gradually the
fourth floor became a place where employees liked to come and relax onbreaks. Visitors coming to our meeting rooms also began showing interestin the greenery. Every year in late July we invite employees’ families togather here for a beer party. The employees’ children enjoy the event, aswell, and it is contributing greatly to our feeling of closeness with
employees and their families.
In fiscal year 2015, we also started the rooftop vegetable garden, andin that year we planted watermelon and bitter gourds. At the get-together
with employees in fiscal year 2015, the watermelons grown here wereused by the children in watermelon splitting games, with the watermelons
later enjoyed by everybody there. In fiscal year 2016, eggplant andbeefsteak plants were grown in the garden, and the produce was sharedwith employees. The lawn does not need maintaining over the winter. The
grass grows very quickly during the summer, however, so we cut it every
three weeks to keep it in good condition.
We intend to continue caring for our lawn and rooftop vegetablegarden to keep them growing into the future.

In October 2015, the main factory of Sumitomo (SHI) Cyclo Drive Germany(SCG) in Markt Indersdorf renovated its combined heat and power plant(CHP) with new equipment. The old equipment from before used oil as fuel,while the new equipment uses natural gas. The existing boilers were also
refitted at the same time to allow the use of natural gas as fuel. In addition
to reducing the total fuel cost, the new equipment is also environmentallyfriendly, cutting annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by as much as
220 tons.
The newly introduced power generating equipment has a capacity of
50 KW/h. This corresponds to approximately 10% of the electric power

used at the SCG main factory. It has also achieved an energy efficiency of
up to 89% by recovering the heat generated while generating power andusing it for heating.
Construction of the new installation took three months. The work wascompleted before the start of Germany’s cold winter, however, and theequipment is providing electricity and heat to this factory. We intend to
take good care of this budget- and environment-friendly equipment andmake good use of it.

Biodiversity initiatives by the Sumitomo Heavy Industries PTC
Sales Co., Ltd. Hokkaido Office and Sapporo Service Group- Sumitomo Heavy Industries PTC Sales Co., Ltd. -Sumitomo Heavy Industries PTC Sales Co., Ltd. Hokkaido Office andSapporo Service Group are located in a residential area, and they have built
flower-beds and planted flowers along their property boundary that faces
the street. This section used to be overgrown with field horsetails that
required laborious weeding. As an environmental initiative, however,everyone joined in rooting out the field horsetails, adding soil, spreading
fertilizer, and building flower-beds. In July, lavender blooms beautifully
and pleases the eyes of passersby.
The aim was initially to beautify the property, but the measure to makethis a workplace with flowers heightened the employees' motivation. Now
all the on-site members join together in actively caring for the flower-beds.
This is a company base located in the natural setting of Japan's north,where the landscape from autumn until the following spring has nothing
green growing in it. Therefore we have tried to make an environment thatmakes people feel better during the brief summer, and we plan to continue
this initiative going forward.

Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group

4th Medium-Term
Environmental PlanAt the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group, we aim to realize the “Excellent
Eco Factory” that contributes to the realization of a sustainable society byholding fast to the “Sumitomo Business Spirit” and setting our sights onachieving a low-carbon society in 2020.

Contributing to the Prevention of Global
Warming in Both Product Use and Production— 4th Medium-Term Environmental Plan Focuses on the amountof contribution to reducing CO2 emissions from product usage —Our Group’s 4th Medium-Term Environmental Plan has the achievement of alow-carbon society as a major component. We are aiming for a 25% reduction
in CO2 emissions from global production and a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions
from product use. We have been taking measures for some time to reduce CO2
emissions during production, and now we are putting additional focus on theamount of contribution to reducing CO2 emissions from product usage. This willfurther reinforce our CO2 reduction activities working through both products andservices.
“The amount of contribution to reducing CO2 emissions from productusage” refers to the size of the CO2 reduction that we anticipate from thedevelopment of new products with greater energy-conservation performance
than the older products (FY2008 standard). In order to increase the amount ofcontribution to reducing CO2 emissions from product usage, we are setting
fiscal year targets for the increase of the number of our proprietaryenvironmentally friendly products and the expansion of our sales of those
products. An overwhelmingly large part of lifecycle CO2 emissions for ourGroup’s products comes during product use, at 96%. This amount must be
reduced. We will take steps to develop and popularize products with greater
energy efficiency. Our aim is to contribute to the realization of a low-carbon
society.
Meanwhile, our efforts to reduce CO2 emissions during production arelowering CO2 from our factories in Japan every year. Our actual records show a
40% reduction from 2004. However, due to an increase in the number offactories overseas, CO2 emissions increased, leading to a significant overall
increase in combined overseas and domestic CO2 emissions. The 4th
Medium-Term Environmental Plan sets a global reduction target of 25% in
FY2020, and calls for energy conservation at our factories outside Japan.

assessment and global warming prevention activities. The audit
results are evaluated on a five-level scale in each department,using our company’s own proprietary evaluation criteria, andthen reported to the Executive Board. We take these steps
with the aim of raising the levels.
The Environmental Management Division also conducts
systematic audits of each of our local corporations outside
Japan, taking into account the environmental impact of eachcompany. The principal purpose is to achieve objectives forenvironmental risk reduction and global warming prevention
activities. The audit results are evaluated on a five-level scale,just as with the audits in Japan, and reported to the Executive
Board. Audits were carried out at eight factories in China
in fiscal year 2013; at five factories in China, two factories
in Vietnam, one factory in Indonesia and two factories in
the United States in fiscal year 2014; at two factories in thePhilippines and two factories in China in fiscal year 2015.
Audits will be carried out at two factories in Vietnam and four
factories in China in fiscal year 2016.

Global Warming Prevention Activities
In its business activities, including procurement, manufacturing and logistics, Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group has
been taking measures to reduce CO2 emissions by positioning it as the most important issue.

Promoting Environmental Management

Promote measures by participation of all personnel

Reducing CO2 Emissions

CO2 emissions reduction targets achieved in Japanand other countries
Our Group started activities to reduce CO2 emissions in Japan
in fiscal year 2005, taking 2004 as a baseline fiscal year. Fiscal
year 2015 was the second year of the 4th Medium-Term
Environmental Plan, with the target of reducing CO2 emissions
relative to fiscal year 2004 by 32% by fiscal year 2016. Thistarget value is equivalent to a target of 39% reduction relative
to fiscal year 1990, which is the baseline year in the Kyoto
Protocol.
In fiscal year 2015, we achieved a reduction of 29% (41%by basic unit) from the Company's baseline of fiscal year 2004.
This is a reduction of 36% by comparison with fiscal year
1990, and though this did not achieve the target for the total
amount, it did achieve it for the basic unit.

Improvement of energy productivity

Energy productivity targets achieved both inJapan and other countries
Starting in fiscal year 2009, Sumitomo Heavy Industries Grouphas been taking the characteristics of Group businesses into
account and using the new unified index of energy productivity(net sales/CO2 emissions: the reciprocal of the basic unit) inJapan. We are pursuing management and operation on amonthly basis at each business unit (BU).
For fiscal year 2015, we declared a 9% increase over fiscal year
2008 as the target for our program. We achieved this target withan 13% increase at our principal production bases in Japan.
In other countries, we are engaged in measures targeting a
2% improvement over fiscal year 2013.
We achieved this target in fiscal year 2015 with an increaseof 7%.
Going forward, we will continue to promote the following
measures.
❶ ‌Concentrate working hours (eliminate waste by mass
holidays)❷ ‌Minimize standby power (reduce the amount of power
used by machine tools on standby)❸ ‌Minimize working hours (strengthen production technology
capabilities)❹ ‌Make effective use of equipment and facilities

Relations with Society

In the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group, activities to prevent
global warming are positioned as a part of environmental
management. The results from each business division
are managed on a monthly basis by the Environmental
Management Division and feedback is provided. The results
are also reported to the Executive Board at its quarterly
meetings.
Each division in the Group promotes activities to prevent
global warming and is engaged in activities to improve a rangeof processes in order to further enhance the efficient use ofenergy and to “visualize” activities and initiatives through “theparticipation of all employees.”

In other countries, we have set targets for improvement of
1% per year relative to the fiscal year 2013 figure in basic units,
which takes production increases into account.
In fiscal year 2015, the figure for the basic unit deteriorated
by 3% relative to fiscal year 2013.
The combined target value for Japan and other countries
was 141,000 tons, while the actual figure achieved was
138,000 tons, which achieved the target.

Reduction of CO2 Emissions During Product Use

Reducing paper use is part of activities to save resources
and, at the same time, it is linked to activities to prevent global
warming such as reducing CO2 emissions in the papermaking
process. The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group is aiming tocontinue with the reduction of 45% compared to fiscal year
2005 levels.
The amount was reduced by 47% in fiscal year 2015,
achieving the target.

Promote technical innovation and sales expansion
in energy-saving products

Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group Environmental Sustainability Report 2016

Under the 4th Medium-Term Environmental Plan, we are working
on technical innovation and sales expansion of energy-saving
products with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions during productuse by 15% from FY2008 levels. The reduction in CO2 emissions
during product use will amount to the equivalent of 270 thousand
tons annually.

Working to Build a Recycling-Oriented Society

Limiting the generation of waste and reducing the amount of waste discarded

Emissions and disposal targets achieved by
combination of Japan and other countries
In Japan, our target for the amount of waste discharged
in fiscal year 2015 is a 13% reduction relative to fiscal year
2007. In fiscal year 2015, we worked to increase efficiency
in production activities, do away with waste, and limit theamount of metal scrap and other such waste generated. As aresult, emissions amounted to 31,066 tons, which was an 8%
reduction from fiscal year 2007, and the target for fiscal year
2015 was not achieved. On the other hand, the target for theamount of waste discarded was under 0.5% of emissions, andthe 11.68 tons of waste discarded in fiscal year 2015 was only
0.038% of emissions, which exceeds the target.

There are limits to the volume of usable water resources.
Reducing water consumption is linked to the protection of
resources and reduction of discharge into public water systems,
and at the same time is also connected with the protection of
biodiversity. The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group has set the
reduction target for fiscal year 2015 in Japan at 37% relative
to fiscal year 2005, and we are pursuing this target. In fiscal
year 2015, we have continued to install visible water pipes(aboveground installation) in order to identify water leaks andeliminate waste. As a result, we achieved our target with a 41%
reduction relative to fiscal year 2005, and this also contributed
to cost cutting. We will aim for further reductions in fiscal year
2016. We have also been engaging in reduction activities inother countries since fiscal year 2010. The combined figure forJapan and other countries also shows a trend toward reduction.

In order to build a recycling-oriented society, we at the Sumitomo
Heavy Industries Group are controlling the discharge of wastefrom our business activities, recycling waste, and making efficientuse of resources as well as working on initiatives to reduce theburden on the environment through our business activities.

works and all eight Group companies. We were also able toachieve a zero emissions rate of 0.038% for the SHI Group
as a whole, exceeding the target. We have been continuously
achieving zero emissions since fiscal year 2011.
We are operating in other countries with the target of making
less than 6% of total waste go to landfill. We achieved this target in
fiscal year 2015 with an increase of 4.7%. In terms of the combined
figure for Japan and other countries, the percentage of waste goingto landfill was 2.3% in fiscal year 2015. In order to achieve zero
emissions, separation of waste materials by category for recycling
is crucial. We intend to continue with thoroughgoing separation ofwaste so as to maintain zero emissions, and we will keep our aim
on making our factories kind to the global environment.

Activities for Managing Chemical Substances
We manage chemical substances with the aim of preventing of environmental pollution.

Complete Abolition of Organochlorine Chemicals

Emissions and Transfer of PRTR Substances

Continuing with complete abolition

Emissions reduced 51% in comparison with fiscal year
2006, a 48% reduction in terms of basic sales unit

Complete abolition of substances subject to the Soil
Contamination Countermeasures Law
We are continuing our initiative for complete abolition ofdichloromethane, tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethylene,
which are organochemical substances covered by the Soil
Contamination Countermeasures Law.
Total abolition of ozone-depleting substances
We totally eliminated use of the ozone-depleting substance
HCFC-225 in fiscal year 2008, and that of HCFC-141b in fiscal
year 2010. We have maintained the total elimination of suchuse.

Emission Control of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)

Emissions in Japan reduced 48% in comparison
with fiscal year 2006, a 44% reduction in terms ofbasic sales unit
Toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene in paint solvents account forover 90% of the VOC we use. Our goal is to reduce emissionsof these chemicals by at least 34% by FY2016 compared withthe level in FY2006.
In fiscal year 2015, the reduction reached 48% incomparison with fiscal year 2006 due to a variety of factors.
These include the introduction of solvent regenerators, theuse of low-solvent coatings, the adoption of detergents that
contain no VOC substances and reduction in the amount of
coating used. This was also a 44% reduction in terms of thebasic sales unit. Continuing from fiscal year 2015, measures
to control emissions in fiscal year 2016 will include expanding
the range within which low-solvent coatings and detergentswith no VOC content are adopted as well as the use of powder
coatings. We will also make every effort to reduce waste andreduce the amount of coatings and other such substancesused, among other measures, in order to reduce emissions.
We also started activities outside Japan in fiscal year 2012,
and in fiscal year 2015 these yielded a 7% reduction by basic
sales unit compared to fiscal year 2013.

Environmental Initiatives

Strengthening Environmental Management Activities at Factories Outside Japan
In the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group, we are acting to strengthen our environmental risk management and ouractivities to prevent global warming at factories in countries other than Japan.

Stronger Environmental Risk Management

Priority Management System Established in the China Area
The China area has a maximum of eight factories in operation,categorized by area. In order to provide centralized environmental
management operations for these Chinese factories, weestablished a department in our Shanghai offices in 2011 toprovide overall environmental management supervision of the
China area. A full-time manager has been assigned in thisdepartment, and the manager is acting to provide guidance on
environmental management operations in the factories, engage insupervisory operations, and pursue other such activities.
The matters required by environmental laws and regulationsin China have been growing more stringent in recent years.
In order to continue in business, it has become essential tostrengthen management functions relating to the prevention ofenvironmental pollution. Our Shanghai offices had already been
providing each factory with information about revisions occurringin environmental regulation, and was providing guidance on
improving the systems to address changes. Since fiscal year
2015, however, we have also been actively consolidating
details of the guidance received from the supervisory units ofenvironmental management authorities in the various areas
where our factories are located and disseminating that andrelated information laterally among all the factories. We holdregular video conferences between the Shanghai office and thehead office on matters relating to environmental management.
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group's factories in the
China area are our only overseas factories that hold regularenvironmental management meetings in the same way as
our factories in Japan. These meetings bring together theenvironmental managers of each of our factories in China to hear
explanations of environmental policy from the head office, topresent reports on the status of environmental management at
each factory, and so on. These activities are contributing to theraised level of environmental management throughout the area.

Environmental management meeting

Relations with Society

Strengthening environmental management systems atfactories outside Japan
In the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group, we are advancing ourefforts to strengthen environmental risk management at factories
outside Japan. Environmental regulations and other suchrequirements are growing more stringent at the locations of ourfactories outside Japan. With guidance from local authorities, we areworking continuously to strengthen our environmental management
systems at each factory in order to comply with local law.

When we first started holding environmental management
meetings, they were organized around reports on the management
status at each company as the main focus. We have gradually beenraising the level of content for discussion and debate, however,and the meeting in 2015 included questions and answers that
extended into actual management operations from the perspectiveof centralized supervision of activities to achieve environmental
objectives at individual factories. These meetings are also going
beyond the discussion of arrangements. The environmental
managers from the various factories have begun conducting onsite patrols at the factory where the meeting is being held. We areholding these on-site patrols so that, for instance, environmental
risks can be spotted from the fresh perspective of environmental
managers from the other factories and so that advanced activities
to promote energy saving at the venue factory can be disseminatedlaterally with the other factories. This is contributing greatly to raising
the level of on-site management in the area as a whole.

Promoting Environmental Risk Assessment at
Factories in China and Southeast Asia
Of the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group factories outside Japan,
those in China and Southeast Asia face relatively higher environmental
risks. We are therefore implementing environmental risk assessments,
taking the procedures for environmental risk assessment used atfactories in Japan as a basis. We initially started the environmental risk
assessments from the management items that present the highest
risk for the particular factory. Since then, we have gradually been
increasing the number of items for assessment. In fiscal year 2015,
we provided the results of environmental risk assessments conductedat the mother factories in Japan to the factories of affiliated businesses
outside Japan. This furthered the lateral dissemination of knowhow
regarding particular measures to address environmental risks thatwere experienced in the past at factories in Japan.
At some of our factories outside Japan, we are implementing
environmental risk assessments in a way that unifies the identificationof environmental concerns that require coverage under ISO 14001
with the development of systems for addressing those concerns.
Promoting ISO 14001 External Certification andExpanding Promotion Efforts
All Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group factories in Japan havealready acquired ISO 14001 external certification. We are
therefore advancing our efforts to expand the acquisition of ISO
14001 external certification by our factories outside Japan.

Environmental Initiatives

Strengthening Environmental Management Activities at Factories Outside JapanWe establish environmental management systems at
Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group factories outside Japan inaccordance with the environmental regulations in place at theparticular factory locations, where requirements vary from one
to the other. The factories that have established environmental
management systems under ISO 14001 have organized thebasic elements relating to environmental management insystematic form. This means that significant benefits can beobtained when the management methods used at factories inJapan and other such information is disseminated laterally.
In fiscal year 2015, one of our factories in China newly
acquired ISO 14001 external certification. As a result, all of ourmanufacturing plants in the China area have now acquired ISO
external certification.

Promoting Environmental Audits in Factories Outside JapanThe head office Environmental Management Division implements
periodic environmental audits of Sumitomo Heavy Industries
Group factories outside Japan.
Environmental audits at factories outside Japan have applied
the same standards as factories in Japan since fiscal year 2012.
We are checking the environmental management activities at
each factory with the aim of reducing its environmental risk tothe same level as at our factories in Japan.
The frequency of audits is determined according to theenvironmental risk at the factory in question, taking local
environmental requirements into consideration. During the audits,
we check the status of on-site management and related matters.
This includes determining whether activities are underway tocomply with local conditions, including environmental regulations
regarding the atmosphere, wastewater, and so on, andregulations regarding waste disposal, that differ from regulationsin Japan. In fiscal year 2015, we conducted environmental
audits at four factories in China and the Southeast Asia area.

Environmental audit underway on-site

Every factory sets up bulletin boards in the workplace breakareas where notices relating to environmental management are
posted for employees. Notices of environmental policies andenvironmental objectives are posted together with results ofenvironmental measurements, energy consumption, and otherenvironmental management data of all kinds.
As the level of environmental management at the factories rises,
these notices are increasing the amount of information available.

Environmental bulletin board

Upgrading Educational Systems for Environmental
Managers at Factories Outside Japan
We initially set up and administered the environmental management
system at Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group factories outside
Japan so that the focus of environmental management activities wason activities to prevent environmental pollution. As the requirementsof local environmental management laws and regulations havegrown more sophisticated, however, and a growing number offactories have acquired ISO 14001 external certification, we have
gradually expanded the scope of management. This means that theenvironmental managers at the various factories are being required
to demonstrate higher levels of knowledge, management expertise,and other such capabilities, and we are therefore developing asystem for their continuing education.
As part of this initiative, we invited the environmental manager
at our Shanghai offices to come to Japan for a sophisticatededucational program. This involved sitting in on environmental
audits at our factories in Japan, hearing lectures on the practicalbusiness of environmental measurement at the business divisions
engaged in construction of environmental facilities, and so on.
In fiscal year 2015, we also initiated a first effort in providing
assistance to factories outside Japan that were working to acquire ISO
14001 external certification. We therefore provided the environmental
managers at our Indonesia factories with training in environmental
management that included the state of environmental management
system operations in accordance with ISO 14001 at factories in Japan.

Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group's factories outside
Japan individually determine their own environmental policies
and environmental objectives, and each pursues its own
environmental management activities.
Each factory establishes its own individual environmental
policies. In doing so, each factory takes the Sumitomo Heavy
Industries Group environmental policies into account andincorporates its particular circumstances into its policies.
These environmental policies, together with the environmental
objectives for the fiscal year, are explained to all factory
employees at the start of the fiscal year. This education provides
an important framework in which the employees can position
the environmental management activities at their factory.

Global Warming Prevention Initiatives at Factories Outside JapanThe Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group's factories outside
Japan have been strengthening their activities to reduce CO2
emissions since 2011.
Activities to reduce energy consumption started with active
steps to cut the consumption of electric power for factory
illumination, factory air conditioning, air compressors, and so on.
We began by turning off worksite lighting and air conditioning
during break periods and other such times, and by adjusting
the air conditioning to appropriate temperatures. We have been
taking steps for the lateral dissemination of energy conservation
measures adopted at factories in Japan and related activities.
At our factories in China, factory-wide measures are being
taken to cut back on power consumption for lighting in factory
work areas. We started by taking on-site measurements ofillumination intensity, using the illumination intensity standards
adopted for workplaces at factories in Japan as a reference. We
are also eliminating the conventional mercury vapor lamps used
for factory ceiling lights and switching to energy-saving formsof lighting. In addition to the adoption of light-emitting diodes,
which have been adopted in many instances at factories inJapan, these lighting changes have also involved the adoptionof energy-saving types of discharge lamps and other forms oflighting with widespread local dissemination.
The Shanghai Factory and the Kunshan Factory buildings havelarge skylights to admit light, so that the illumination required
for work can be adequately supplied by the factory skylights on
sunny days with the ceiling lights turned off. The ceiling lights
are therefore extinguished in the daytime. This depends also on
the nature of the work being done on the shop floor. Precision
measurement and other such operations, for example, require
greater illumination intensity. The point, however, is to keep fromincreasing the ceiling lighting in these workplaces, instead making
active use of localized illumination. At the Kunshan Factory, theworkplaces that require localized illumination have light-emitting
diodes installed on the pillars and wall surfaces around the shop
floor to ensure that illumination is provided to workplaces more
efficiently. In addition, movable lighting equipment is set up sothat every measure is in place to provide optimal lighting for dayto-day work. These activities to improve lighting equipment forthe purpose of energy conservation are being carried out on afactory-by-factory basis, with individual factories using their own
resources to investigate and implement improvement measures.
This indicates that the standards for energy-saving activities haverisen higher even at the shop floor level in our factories.

Social Contribution Activities
With our employees taking the initiative, we are planning and implementing activities that contribute to society in eachregion and local community.

Initiatives for Biodiversity
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group is engaging in initiatives
to protect biodiversity.
The Group has to date endorsed the biodiversity declarationof the Nippon Keidanren (Japan Business Federation) and wehave joined the “Declaration Promotion Partners.” In order
to contribute to the protection of biodiversity, we have been
engaging in afforestation and greenery planting activities.
Our Tanashi Works is preserving the Musashino Forest,
which occupies approximately 30% of the area of the 40,706m2
campus. This forest contains over 4,500 trees of 40 or more
species, and 170 of the trees have been designated protected
trees by Nishi-Tokyo City. We have named a portion of thesewoods the Forest of Inspiration and opened it to the public.
Past wildlife habitat surveys confirmed the presence ofconsiderable wildlife in the forest, which is a stronghold forthe local ecosystem as well as a precious natural asset forscientific research.
In addition to the kind of forest maintenance activity seen
here at the Tanashi Works, we are also promoting activities
for biodiversity at our factories in every other area, as well. We
are actively engaging in a variety of biodiversity initiatives, suchas the expansion of green areas when redevelopment work isdone on the grounds, green curtain activities (such as at the
Okayama Works), the development of flower-beds (Sumitomo
Heavy Industries PTC Sales Co., Ltd.), green areas on rooftops(Sumitomo Heavy Industries Modern, Ltd.), and greening
activity on factory grounds (Nihon Spindle Mfg. Co., Ltd.).
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group has also been
contributing to the further protection of biodiversity by meansof the LIME2 lifecycle impact assessment method basedon endpoint modeling, developed by the National Instituteof Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. Using thismethod, we have performed quantitative assessments of the
impact that Group businesses have on biodiversity.
As a result, we found that reducing the amount of woodmaterials used would be particularly effective for our Group,
and we have been pursuing reductions in the amount of
product packaging material we use.
Specifically, we have been taking measures to simplify
packaging and to adopt returnable shipping cartons to enablerepeated reuse.
At Sumitomo Heavy Industries Ion Technology Co., Ltd.,
which manufactures ion implantation systems for semiconductor
manufacturing, we analyzed the utilization of cardboard cartonsfor shipping maintenance parts. As a result we have furthered thereuse of cartons and cut down on packing materials. At Nihon
Spindle Mfg. Co., Ltd., which manufactures cooling towers anddust collectors, we have reduced the use of packing materials bysimplifying wooden crates, and shifting to the use of wrapping
materials for packing.

Social Contribution Activities

Participating Actively in Local Community Events
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group takes active partin events held in local communities. The Niihama Factory
took part in the Saijo City Ofuki Area Friendship Sports Day
as part of the Ehime Prefecture Support Group Matching
Project for Healthy Village Development, with the aim ofregional revitalization. Many people here in the Ofuki area areelderly, and the sports days were suffering from a shortageof participants. Since the community also requested it, webegan taking part in the event from fiscal year 2011.
The fiscal year 2015 sports day was held on a fine,sunny day without a cloud in the sky. We were able to enjoy
exchanges with local residents, participants from othercorporations, and many volunteers, and it was a very pleasant
as well as meaningful day.
Articles and photographs of the sports day were also
posted on the Ehime Prefecture website.

Cleanup Activities
In the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group, we carry on regularcleanup activities in the areas around our works. We also
participate in cleanup activities organized by local government
bodies and volunteer groups.
In addition to cleanup activities in the neighborhood of
our works, during fiscal year 2015 the Nagoya Works also
participated in the Adopt Program* organized by Obu City in
Aichi Prefecture, while the Niihama Factory took part in the
Adopt Program of Niihama City. All these activities involve
continuing engagement in cleanup of neighboring areas.
The Nagoya Works has been participating in this Adopt
Program since fiscal year 2004. In fiscal year 2014, eventswere held six times with 30 participants each time. Rainy
weather and other reasons in fiscal year 2015 reduced thisto four times, but there were still about 30 participants eachtime, so we are keeping the activity ongoing. We will continue
similarly pursuing our activities in fiscal year 2016.
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group will continue withthis commitment to beautification of the local environment.

Environmental Initiatives

Students from Yokosuka Lower Secondary Schools Tour Our Environmental Activities
Relations with Society

Our Yokosuka Works in Kanagawa Prefecture is taking
measures to reduce CO2 emissions and waste materials.
We are also actively engaging in communication with local
communities as part of our environmental activities.
In fiscal year 2015, we invited local junior high school
students to the Yokosuka Works again as in fiscal year 2014,
and gave them a tour. The students viewed our waste material
separation for recycling, the wastewater treatment facility, thewater quality monitoring system, and environmentally friendly
products, and they gained a deeper understanding of theSumitomo Heavy Industries environmental initiatives.
The tour took them first to examples of environmental
consideration during manufacturing. This included themonitoring carried on using automated measurement devices
at the wastewater treatment plant, and the status of waste
separation at waste material stations. The tour showed thestudents how the finely graded separation of waste into
approximately 80 categories raises the recycling rate. They also
saw how the implementation of regular patrols for thoroughgoing
enforcement of waste separation enabled us to sustain a 100%
waste material recycling ratio since fiscal year 2011.
In connection with our environmentally friendly products, thestudents witnessed the testing of wastewater treatment products
and used microscopes to observe the microorganisms that do thework of treating sewage. The tour covered our forging shop androbots capable of working in cooperation with people. They werealso introduced to and toured an energy-saving Aframax tanker.
We received various impressions from the participants,
including, "I learned how important, and how difficult, it is
to be considerate of the environment at the manufacturing
works, and gained a deeper understanding of products that
contribute to the environment, and other such things," and"When I saw how cloudy water could be made clear in an
instant during the wastewater treatment testing, I was able tounderstand the importance of wastewater treatment."

activity at ourworks

Environmental Education for Elementary School Students
Sumitomo Heavy Industries Environment Co., Ltd., exhibits every
year at an environmental exhibition in Minamiashigara City, Kanagawa
Prefecture since fiscal year 2006. We also conduct an annual
environmental education event mainly for local elementary students.
The exhibits in fiscal year 2015 provided close-up views of
topics relating to water. These included microscopic observationof the microorganisms that carry out wastewater treatment,
observation of waterside organisms, and a comparative
analysis of the calcium content of commercially available mineralwater. We showed the organisms that live in clean rivers andpolluted rivers, explained the differences between the two, andcommunicated the importance of protecting river environments.
We intend to keep up these activities in the future, andcontinue communicating to children the importance ofenvironmental protection.
