Editorial Policy
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group issued its first
Environmental Report in 2001. In 2005, we expanded the scopeof the report to include social aspects and changed its nameto Environmental Sustainability Report. Every year, we widen
the scope of social contribution activities and environmental
activities, which form the social responsibilities of the Group.
In addition to promoting environmental management including
activities to prevent global warming, the 2013 Report also
introduces our engagement with biodiversity as a form of social
contribution. We have also expanded the scope of data on theenvironmental burden overseas. To convey to a wide audience
our engagement with environmental and social activities, wehave sought to make the report accessible by using plain
and concise language and by making frequent use of graphs,
illustrations and photographs.
Further, when issuing this Report, we consulted theEnvironmental Reporting Guidelines (2012) and theEnvironmental Accounting Guidelines (2005) from the Ministryof the Environment.

Contribution to the promotion of efficient energy use throughdevelopment and practical application of industrial equipmentwith outstanding energy conservation performance
At the 33rd Outstanding Energy Conservation Equipment Awards (FY2012)(organized by the Japan Machinery Federation), the SE-EV series of all-electric
injection molding machines developed by Sumitomo Heavy Industries was honored
as the sole winner of the “Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award.”
The SE-EV series of all-electric injection molding machines
reduced electric power consumption by 25% overconventional equipment. We achieved this by developing
an integrated system to reduce injection pressure andminimize clamping force, with other unique techniques.
At the same time, we also took steps to modify thegrease lubrication system, by reducing the number oflubrication points, and reuse of discharged grease.
We also achieved a 50% reduction of discharged
grease over conventional machines. In recognition ofthese developments, the series won the Minister of
Economy, Trade and Industry Award.
These devices are developed under the newmolding concept, so-called Zero-molding, which
adheres to “zero defects, zero loss and zero faults.”
Zero-molding resolves problems and defects at the
production point and carries the question of how
efficiently molded products can be produced to its
ultimate extent. Apart from the hardware aspects of
the actual device, we also improved operability of theuser interface. Configuration by touch panel has become

? What is an injection
molding machine?

This is a device that is used to mold plastic
products. It injects the plasticized resin into
the mold under pressure, filling the moldand forming the product. It is suited tofabricating products with complex shapes
in large volume and at low cost, from theplastic lenses of digital cameras to large
vehicle components such as bumpers. Our
all-electric injection molding machines boast
world-class sales in plastics industries.

also enables the completion of whole processes on
the same screen, and this should minimize errors andfacilitate settings. In addition to the above, these
improvements in man-machine interface constitute amajor advantage for this product.
Our injection molding machines had shipped acumulative total of 40,000 units by 2004. They arewidely used in the automotive,
precision machinery, and healthcare fields, and the latest model
SE-EV series has already soldover 1,000 units. These injection
molding machines work at very
high speeds of 5-20 seconds per
cycle in plastic molding factories.
The machines may appear very
simple on first glance, but they
represent the combination of thefinest precision technologies, andare produced as devices that makefull use of the latest technologies forthe global environment.

Power saving by extended operation and longer battery life;
increased efficiency by improved operability

At the 33rd Outstanding Energy Conservation Equipment Awards (FY2012)(organized by the Japan Machinery Federation), the QuaPro-R reach forklift
developed by Group member Sumitomo NACCO Materials Handling Co., Ltd.
was awarded the Japan Machinery Federation Chairman’s Prize.

Characterized by a compact body,this is a type of forklift that theoperator rides standing up. The
chassis is small, giving the forklifta small turning radius and making it
useful in confined spaces. These
forklifts therefore see all-arounduse, particularly in warehouses.

reducedraisedThe QuaPro-R was developed tomeet the demand for energy-saving,
space-saving forklifts used in thetransportation, warehouse, and foodindustry. The optimization of acceleration
and all other types of control, adoptionof a highly efficient IPM motor,*
improving of hydraulic circuits, andother such measures have reduced
electric power consumption by 24%
over conventional model. In addition,
the adoption of unique turning
control has reduced the number oftimes the steering wheel needs tobe turned back, yielding a 33%
improvement in work efficiency overconventional model. At the sametime, the fatigue level has also been
reduced 20%. This model achieves
the smallest turning performance(practical right-angle stacking aisle
width) in the industry.
This forklift has also been given
a design that is operator friendly. The
lowered floor, use of a low-vibrationsuspension, and other such measures

reducedhave improved riding comfort. In
addition, we have pursued operating
comfort with a turning mode selection
function for stacking and swiveling,smooth acceleration, and other such
improvements that give operators
the ability to maneuver just as theywant. We have also equipped theforklif t with a variet y of safet ymeasures, including limits on sudden
acceleration when turning or going
down a slope, prevention of rollback
when starting to move from a stop ona slope, and a locking function toprevent operation when the operator
is absent.
We will continue our unremitting
efforts to improve our technology
with the aim of making devices thatare environmentally and humanfriendly.
* IPM motor: Synchronous motor with imbedded
magnets. Magnets imbedded inside the rotor
characteristically give the motor greater efficiency
and torque. IPM motors are used in electricvehicles and other applications.

Environmental Management System

At Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group, we have been promoting environmental
management with awareness that business corporations have social responsibilities
for protecting the global environment, for preserving the local environment, andfor engaging in economic activities that are oriented toward recycling.
Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group Environmental Philosophy
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group contributes to implementing sustainable development of society byholding fast to the “Sumitomo Business Spirit.”
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group is taking action across the Group to protect the global environment.

Environmental Management

In order to implement the sustainable developmentof society, we must respond to global environment
issues and reduce the burden on the environment
posed by various aspects of corporate activity. To doso, the Group is promoting autonomous and proactive
initiatives to protect the environment.
In 1992, we established the Environmental Committee
to promote environmental protection and compliance inlocal communities. In September 1997, we establishedthe Sumitomo Heavy Industries Environmental Policyin order to drive home the message of environmental
management.
In addition, in order to clarify the basic policy of activities
across the Group, we established the Sumitomo Heavy
Industries Group Environmental Policy in November
1999, expanding environmental management acrossthe Group as a whole including overseas facilities.

We have established an Environmental Management
Division in the General Affairs Group, which draws up
the medium-term environmental plan (the current third
medium-term environmental plan runs from FY2011 toFY2013), environmental goals on an annual basis, anddevelops environmental management across the Group
including personnel training.
In 2011, we assigned an environmental manager
to Shanghai, China, to promote environmental activity
monitoring and support throughout China.

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 mostimportant issue.
Promoting Environmental Management

Reducing CO2 Emissions
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group started to takeaction in FY2005 with the First Medium-Term Environmental
Plan to reduce CO2 emissions by 10% from FY2004
levels by FY2007. As of FY2011, we launched the Third
Medium-Term Environmental Plan aiming to further
reduce CO2 emissions by 19% from the FY2004 level by
FY2013. Compared to the benchmark year of FY1990
for the Kyoto Protocol, the target is to achieve a 28%
reduction.
In FY2012 we were able to control emissions
to far exceed the target with a 36% reduction (21%reduction in the basic unit) over FY2004 levels and a
43% reduction over FY1990 levels.
For other countries, we have set a target of 2%
reduction year on year taking production increases
into account. The emissions volume is trending upward
because of the new establishment and expansion of

CO2 Emissions

Improvement of energy productivity
Starting in fiscal year 2009, Sumitomo Heavy Industries
Group has been taking the characteristics of Groupbusinesses into account and using the new unified index
of energy productivity (net sales/CO2 emissions: thereciprocal of the basic unit) in Japan. We are pursuingmanagement and operation on a monthly basis at eachbusiness unit (BU).
For fiscal year 2012, we declared a 6% increaseover fiscal year 2008 as the target for our program.
We achieved this target with an 18% increase at our
principal production bases in Japan.
The target for our programs in other countries was
set at 1% increase year on year. We achieved this target
in fiscal year 2012 with an increase of 5.3%.
The combined figure for Japan and other countries
shows a 6% decline because of the increase in CO2
overseas.
Going forward, we will continue to promote thefollowing measures.
❶ Concentrate operating hours (promote mass
holidays)❷ Minimize standby power (reduce the amount of
power used by machine tools on standby)❸ Minimize working times❹ Make effective use of equipment and facilities■ Japan ■ Other countries

In transportation, we have been making efforts to
reduce CO2 emissions by eliminating waste and byimproving efficiency. With FY2006 as the benchmark
year, we aimed to achieve an 13% reduction in the basic
unit of transportation (t-CO2 /weight) in FY2012. We
promoted such measures as improving loading ratios
and switching to modal shift in fiscal year 2012, but the
reduction was limited to 4% due to the decline of sales
in other countries relative to the reference year and theincrease in long-distance truck transport to the Tohoku
Region to meet earthquake recovery demand. In termsof total CO2 volume, however, the reduction was 37%.
For our fiscal year 2013 activities, we are setting a targetof 14% reduction relative to fiscal year 2006.

Environmental Initiatives

In the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group, activities to prevent
global warming are positioned as a part of environmental
management with discussions conducted at evaluations
by the President on visits to the manufacturing floor. The
results from each business division are fed back formonthly processing at the Environmental Management
Division. The results are also announced at the quarterly
meetings of the Executive Board.
Each division in the Group promotes activities toprevent global warming and is engaged in activities
to improve a range of processes in order to further
enhance the efficient use of energy and to “visualize”
activities and initiatives through “the participation of all
employees.”factories in countries like China, where the CO2 emissions
coefficient is higher. For fiscal year 2012, we achieved thetarget value for the year with a 7% reduction in emissions.
The combined target value for Japan and othercountries is total emissions of 161,000 tons, which
represents a 19% reduction from the fiscal 2004 reference
value in Japan and an annual 2% reduction in othercountries. The target was achieved with an actual figureof 139,000 tons, which represents a 14% reduction
from the target value.

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 thepapermaking process. In FY2013, the Sumitomo Heavy
Industries Group aims for a 45% reduction comparedto FY2005 levels.
In FY2012 we exceeded the target of a 43%
reduction over FY2005 levels with a reduction of 54%.

The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group has createdsystematic and voluntary standards across the Groupsuch as carrying out Lifecycle Assessments*, improving
recycling rates at the time of disposal, reducing thevolume of packaging, curtailing harmful substances
contained in products, and developing products that
consume less energy, weigh less, are more compact andlast longer. We have launched initiatives for continuous
improvements and evaluation based on these standards.
In fiscal year 2012, therefore, we have been able
to add another four products to the 11 “environmentallyfriendly first-class products” we had already designated.
The 11 products were the biomass boiler, compact
25-ton biomass boiler, and dry-type desulphurizationequipment (Energy & Environment Group); hydraulicexcavator and asphalt finishers (Sumitomo (S.H.I.)
Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.); bag filter (Nihon

We are working to limit the discharge of waste material frombusiness activities, as well as to recycle and make effective use ofthat material.
Measures to reduce environmental impact

Limiting the generation of waste and reducing theamount of waste discarded
In Japan, our target for the amount of waste discharged
in fiscal year 2013 is a 13% reduction relative to fiscal
year 2007. In fiscal year 2012, we worked to increase theefficiency in production activities, do away with waste, andlimit the amount of metal scrap and other such waste
generated. As a result, emissions amounted to 28,116
tons, which was a 17% reduction from fiscal year 2007,
and which achieved the 12% reduction target for fiscal
year 2012. The target for the amount of waste discarded
was under 0.5% of emissions, and the 3.4 tons ofwaste discarded in fiscal year 2012 was only 0.01% ofemissions, which exceeds the target by a significant
margin. In terms of basic units, this represents a 3%
increase.
The combined figure for Japan and other countries
shows an increasing trend in emissions due to production
increases in other countries. In terms of basic units,
however, the trend is diminishing.

total waste (the landfill rate) is less than 0.5% as zero
emissions factories. We have been promoting thisprogram since FY2005, and as a result in FY2012 weachieved zero emissions at all seven works and all eightGroup companies. We were also able to achieve a zero
emissions rate of 0.01% for the SHI Group as a whole,greatly exceeding the target. We are operating in othercountries with the target of making less than 10% of
total waste go to landfill. In fiscal year 2012, the figure
was 2.2%, which achieved the target.
The combined figure for Japan and other countries
shows that the shift to recycling is progressing smoothly,
and the percentage of waste going to landfill was 0.7%
in fiscal year 2012. Recycling by separation of wastematerials is crucial for the achievement of zero emissions.
We intend to continue with rigorous separation of waste
so that we can maintain zero emissions, and our aim is
to have factories that are kind to the global environment.

In order to build a recycling-oriented society, we at the
Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group are controlling thedischarge of waste from our business activities, recycling
waste, and making efficient use of resources as well
as working on initiatives to reduce the burden on theenvironment through our business activities.

Nihon Spindle Mfg. Co., Ltd., which is a member of ourGroup, is a development proposal-type enterprise witha demonstration center. It develops and manufactures
dust collectors, clean rooms, precision air-conditioning
equipment, machine tools, tire manufacturing equipment,cooling towers, building materials (schoolroom partitions,etc.), etc.
The main factory of Nihon Spindle Mfg. Co., Ltd.
is located in Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture. An
Environmental Committee was set up there, and in fiscal
year 2011, an Energy-Saving Committee was alsoestablished that includes managers from each of thecompany’s three business divisions as members.

per day by improving hydraulic actuation circuits

Change to double-paned windows

2. Green logistics
A full-time logistics team controls logistics operations for the whole
company. Continuous engagement in measures like the following
resulted in a 30% improvement (basic unit CO 2 /deadweight tons)
in fiscal year 2012 relative to the reference year (FY2006). This
achieved the Group target.
• Improve loading ratios by placing vehicle dispatch list on companywide network and coordinating among business divisions• Promote consolidation (shipping jointly with other companies) ofloads with nearby companies• Promote modal shift using railway container transport, etc.
3. Measures to deal with electric power supply shortages
In order to deal with electric power supply shortages during thesummer of 2011, the company enacted power-saving measures in

Substances

Stronger Environmental Management
at Our Overseas Factories

We manage chemical substances with the aim of implementing
prevention of environmental pollution.

Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group is strengthening environmental
risk management and global warming prevention measures atoverseas factories.

Complete Abolition of Organochlorine Chemicals

Emissions and Transfer of PRTR Substances

Stronger Environmental Risk Management

Complete abolition of substances subject to the Soil
Contamination Countermeasures Law
In FY2011, we completed eliminating any use ofdichloromethane, tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethylene,
which are organochemical substances subject to the Soil
Contamination Countermeasures Law. We maintained
this total elimination of use in FY2012.

More than 90% of PRTR substances are paint solvents(toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene). In FY2012, we reduced
these substances by 42% of the level in FY2006. This
also represents a 34% reduction in terms of the basic
sales unit. We will continue to expand the use of lowsolvent paint while ensuring that we maintain the qualityof our products. We will also install and expand solvent
collection and removal equipment to reduce the emission
and transfer of PRTR substances.

Stronger environmental management system at our overseas factories
Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group has been continuously
reinforcing management systems in order to strengthen
environmental risk management at factories in othercountries. We have assigned full-time environmental
managers at every overseas factory. At factories where
production is on the rise, as in China, in particular, weare promoting further measures, such as increasing thenumber of those managers.

number in operation by region is in China, where there areeight. We therefore have a special management systemfor environmental management matters, as well. In fiscal
year 2011, we established a department in Shanghai tohandle centralized environmental management for the
China area, and in fiscal year 2012 we added one newstaff member as part of our further strengthening of thesystem.
In China, we have been ahead of other regions inestablishing environmental management meetings likethose held at our factories in Japan. We began holding
these meetings there in fiscal year 2011, bringing together
the environmental managers from each of the factories
in China to hear explanations of environmental policy
from the head office in Japan, to report on the statusof environmental management at their factories, and towork on raising the level of environmental management
at each factory.
In fiscal year 2012, the meeting venue began to
be shifted from factory to factory in turn, and on-siteenvironmental patrols are being carried out by all theparticipants together at each meeting venue factory.
On-site environmental management is said to require
experience and practical management know-how. The
environmental managers at our China factories haverelatively few years of experience, so we are using theseenvironmental patrols to improve the management knowhow and knowledge of the participants as well as todisseminate that know-how and knowledge laterally toevery factory.

Toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene in paint solvents
account for over 90% of the VOC we use. Our goal is to
reduce emissions of these chemicals by at least 33% by
FY2013 compared with the level in FY2006.
The amount of coating we used in shipbuilding
during fiscal year 2012 diminished, and further reductions
were achieved by the operation of solvent collection andremoval equipment at our large-scale paint facilities
that are subject to legal controls. Promotion of theseand other reduction measures yielded a 46% reduction
relative to fiscal year 2006. This was also a 37%
reduction in terms of the basic sales unit. Measures
to control VOC emissions in FY2013 will continue from
FY2012 through such steps as the operation of solvent
collection and removal equipment, the expanded use of
powder paint, and the adoption of low-solvent paints tocontrol emissions.

We have completed early registration of all equipment with highconcentrations of PCB with the processing company, Japan
Environmental Safety Corporation, and we have undertaken asystematic course of detoxification based on the Law Concerning
Special Measures Against PCB Waste. Until FY2011, this material
was processed at the Tanashi Works, Okayama Works, Nihon
Spindle Mfg. Co., Ltd., and Izumi Food Machinery Co., Ltd.
The survey of equipment with low concentrations of PCBs was
furthered and updated in FY2011. Study is underway regarding
treatment of items presently
being stored. In FY2011, we
also undertook a major
upgrade with regard tolighting equipment withstabilizers and transformers
containing PCBs.

Environmental Initiatives

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 maintained the totalelimination of such use in fiscal year 2012.

Reinforcing environmental pollution prevention programs
China and the countries of Southeast Asia arestrengthening their environmental standards every year.
We are continuously expanding the scope of management
activities at every factory in order to respond to thestronger environmental standards in that country.
In fiscal year 2012, the speed reducer factory in
Vietnam installed a new wastewater treatment facility inresponse to stronger environmental standards instituted
at the industrial park where it is located.
In addition, the forklift parts factory in the Philippines
has taken steps to reduce the risk of environmental
pollution by voluntarily installing a water-sealing plate
as an emergency shutoff that will prevent factory
wastewater from being discharged into the public sewer
if a fault occurs. The installation of this water-sealing
plate has been treated as an advanced example ofactivity to prevent pollution of the environment, and it
has been publicized as such within the industrial park.
Promoting environmental audits at factories in othercountries
The head office Environmental Management Division
conducts periodic audits of our factories in othercountries. In order to reduce the environmental risk atoverseas factories to the same level as at factories
in Japan, these environmental audits check theenvironmental management activities at each factory,
applying the same audit standards as at factories inJapan.
The frequency of audits is determined according to
the environmental risk at the factory in question, taking
local environmental requirements into consideration. In
fiscal year 2012, environmental audits were conducted
at eight of our factories in the China, Europe, andSoutheast Asia areas.
At the same time that audits are conducted,
environmental managers and officers are also given
training in activities to prevent environmental accidents
and in energy saving.

Waste reduction measures

Promoting Global Warming Prevention Activities

Activities to Reduce Electric Power Consumption by
Improvements to Factory Interior Lighting
At the speed reducer factory in Germany, wall surfaces
were almost all converted to glass windows to introduce
large amounts of natural light in some workplaces.
Electric power for lighting in these workplaces was
further reduced by installing new devices that automaticallydim and brighten the interior illumination according to theamount of sunlight.
At the forklift parts factory in Vietnam, the machine
workshop areas used to have mercury lamps on theceilings for lighting. Now fluorescent light-type LED
lights have been installed close to the machines toilluminate each machinist’s work area.
In addition to their lower power consumption, LED
lights turn on instantly. This means the lights can be turnedon only when needed, so that power consumption canbe reduced rationally. The LED lighting at this factory
was also installed in a way devised by the productionengineering manager to match with the specific work
being done.

Promoting environmental protection activities atfactories in other countries

Measures for conservation of natural resources
The water used at the speed reducer factory in Brazil isground water, and a well has been dug on the grounds
where the water can be pumped up. In order to reduce
the amount of water pumped from the well, domestic
wastewater and other such water is treated in a wastewater
treatment facility installed at the factory, and the treatedwater is used for such purposes as watering grass andtrees on the grounds.

Drinking from a heat-retaining cup for exclusive in-house use

Bin for recyclable waste in the factory

A unique logo mark has also been created as asymbol for waste reduction activity. Not only is thislogo used at exhibitions of waste reduction activity inthe factory, but it is also displayed on tape and othersuch materials used in packing construction machineryparts that are shipped from the factory. In addition
to improving awareness of waste reduction within thecompany, this logo also publicizes the commitment towaste reduction to people outside the company.

Recycling logo markAutomatic light-adjusting device—Measures in Brazil—
People at the speed reducer factory in Brazil drink agreat deal of coffee in the factory. At first, disposable
cups were used, and most of the cups were disposedof as waste material. However, local employees whowanted to help reduce waste came up with an idea
themselves: They made heat-retaining cups carrying
the company logo for individual use, and distributed
one cup to every employee. This made it possible toeliminate the use of disposable cups.

Checking recyclable waste
Fluorescent-type LED lighting installed close to machine tools

Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group’s factories in othercountries face differing environmental requirements
according to the factory location. In order to meet thesedifferent demands, we promote environment management
activities that are characteristic of those various factories.

Interior view of the factory with walls converted to glass—Measures in the United States—
At the construction machinery factory in the UnitedStates, a company-wide program is being promoted toreduce the amount of waste generated by the factory.
The waste material that used to be treated as
landfill is now being sorted carefully by category. The
sorted waste is collected under a program to increase
the amount of waste that can be recycled and reduce
the weight of landfill material.
New waste collection boxes for recycling material
have been placed in the factory. Once a week, employees
also check through the waste yard for landfill material toretrieve any recyclable waste that is mixed in.

Environmental Initiatives

CO2 emissions are trending upward at Sumitomo Heavy
Industries Group’s factories in other countries becauseof the construction of new factories and the expansionof production at existing factories.
Our Group is setting targets for the reduction of
CO2 emissions at factories in other countries, and weare promoting activities to prevent global warming.
In fiscal year 2012, we set reduction targets for all
our factories in other countries and promoted activities
to reduce CO2 emissions. As a result, we achieved thetarget value for total emissions of 82,300 tons with theactual figure of 77,315 tons. We will continue promoting
reduction activities that are geared to achieving future
reduction targets.

—Measures in Vietnam—
At the speed reducer factory in Vietnam, the raw
garbage generated at the dining hall in the factory is
not treated as landfill waste. Instead, a program is being
conducted in cooperation with local livestock farmers
to use the garbage as animal feed and other such
purposes.

With the employees taking the initiative, we are planning andimplementing activities that serve as social contributions in eachregion.

Biodiversity Measures
Inspiration and opened it to the public as a place where
local communities and corporations can think together
about the future of the earth. Artificial plantings havebeen avoided so that visitors can get a feeling of what
the original Musashino landscape was like. Barrier-freewalking paths have been set up with wooden benches
to make a place where local residents can come torelax. In the autumn, nursery school children come togather acorns.
The acorns gathered in the forest at the Tanashi Works
are distributed to other works and Group companies foruse in our tree-planting campaigns. Our aim is to makeeffective use of the space within the works, expand thegreen area, and make it an ecologically friendly facility.
This Forest of Inspiration also has rainwater infiltration
pipes installed. Most of the rainwater to date has beenchanneled through underground rainwater drainage
pipes into nearby rivers and streams. There has beensome concern that this was causing groundwater todiminish, so that ground subsidence could occur as aresult. The occurrence of unanticipated, localized heavy
rainstorms and other such phenomena that are thought
to be caused by the worldwide environmental problem
of global warming has raised concern about flooding
damage in neighboring areas, including residential
neighborhoods. The rainwater infiltration pipes that
return rainwater into the earth constitute a measure forprotection of the natural environment by remedying thedepletion of groundwater, reducing the risk of groundsubsidence, and so on.
At the Niihama Factory, we have demolished buildings
as part of redevelopment of the campus and converted
those areas to greenery. Plans call for continuing
expansion of green areas. All our factories are also
engaged in green curtain activities.

Relations with Society

The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group endorses thebiodiversity declaration issued by Nippon Keidanren(the Japan Business Federation), and we have joined
the partners promoting it. We determined our policyin the third medium-term environmental plan, and weare committed to afforestation and planting greenery tocontribute to the protection of biodiversity.
Our Tanashi Works is preserving the Musashino
Forest, which occupies approximately 30% of the
43,000-m2 campus. This forest contains over 4,500
trees of 40 or more species, and 170 of the trees havebeen designated protected trees by Nishi-Tokyo City.
Past wildlife habitat surveys confirmed the presenceof considerable wildlife in the forest, which is a strongholdfor the local ecosystem as well as a precious natural
asset for scientific research.
With its abundant greenery, the Tanashi Works
has named a portion of these woods the Forest ofGreen curtain at the Niihama Factory

Link-Belt Construction Equipment Company locatedin the state of Kentucky in the United States, has acampus of 425,000 m2, where for many years they havebeen conserving natural trees and planting many othertrees. They have also constructed ponds where fish
can live. Employees can fish in these ponds, but they
practice a strict catch-and-release policy.
As a result, the expansive LBCE campus haspreserved a rich natural environment that is inhabitedby many wild creatures. Among them are skunks, bats,
woodchucks, turtles, opossum, muskrats, various
small birds, geese, and bees.
There are wild geese that breed on the campus,
and the goslings are hatched at the factory. Some of
the goslings become prey for creatures such as foxes,
hawks, coyotes, snakes, and raccoons, but this is theworking of nature, and the employees do not try tointerfere by saving the goslings.
Sometimes one will see a procession of goslings
led by a parent goose, and the employees refer to theseby adding the company name and calling them "LinkBelt Geese."

Our other factories worldwide are likewise contributing
to biodiversity by engaging in afforestation and planting
activities.

Social Contribution Activities

Cleanup activities

Traffic safety measures

The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Environment Co.,
Ltd. held classes on the environment in Fujisawa City,
Kanagawa Prefecture.
The difference between clean water and polluted
water was explained to the children in the class, wholearned about the importance of protecting river andocean environments.
We had the children look through actual microscopes
and conduct an experiment in how powdered activatedcharcoal can make polluted water clean.
We intend to continue these activities in the
future, and to convey the importance of environmental
protection to the children.

In the Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group, we carry on
regular cleanup 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 neighborhoodof our works, during fiscal year 2012 the Nagoya Worksand Sumitomo NACCO Materials Handling Co., Ltd.
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 ofneighboring areas.
In addition, the Saijo Factory and SEN Corporation
took part in the "Refresh Setouchi" Inland Sea cleanup
activities at Takasu Beach in Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture.
This Takasu Beach is the only natural sand beach still
remaining in Saijo City, and the community hopes toprotect the environment there.
This activity started in 1993, and this year is its 21styear. It is a major event for volunteer activity in the city.
The Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group will continue
with this commitment to beautification of the local
environment.

Our Group is a member of local Traffic Safety Associations
and as such we participate in traffic safety campaigns.
We also hold lectures in all of our districts to heighten
awareness of traffic safety among Group employees, andwe seek the cooperation of transportation contractorsthat carry loads into and out of our factories.
The Nagoya Works and Sumitomo NACCO Materials
Handling Co., Ltd. regularly take on traffic monitoring
duties, and they are actively cooperating on traffic safetywith local communities.
The Yokosuka Works participated in the yearend traffic accident prevention campaign, distributing
leaflets calling for traffic safety. The campaign was
focused on the following three points:* Adopt ProgramThis is a volunteer campaign in which people designate a public facility, such asa park or a footpath, and register it with the city. They then pick up trash, water
the plants, and weed the designated facility so that people will be able to enjoy
using it.

(1) Eradication of drunk driving(2) Prevention of traffic accidents involving
pedestrians (especially elderly people) andbicycles(3) Making sure that everyone fastens their
seatbelts and that child seats are properlyused
We also conduct traffic safety training at the head
office for members of the sales and service divisions
and other employees who drive company vehicles.

Cooperation with Safety Training and Emergency Drills
for Police Department Personnel
The Yokosuka Works provided cooperation for personnelof the Kanagawa Prefectural Police, the Taura Police
Department, and the Uraga Police Department who
are members of Emergency Management andCountermeasures Departments through safety training
and emergency drills. We also offered the use of our
Safety Training Center.
The drills covered a wide range, including rescue
drills using vehicles for high-lift work, experiential training
about electric shock, practice in using chain hoists in
scenarios for rescue of people trapped under collapsed
structures, practice in using jacks in scenarios for rescueof people trapped under collapsed structures, instruction
on dealing with people whose hands get caught up whenusing motors, experiential training in hanging by a safety
harness, instruction in the use of gas cutting torches, andinstruction on using forklifts for rescue.
Employees who led the drills were impressed.
Some remarked that seeing the trainees work so hard
at learning was a learning experience for them, as well,while others observed that the trainees were disciplined
and energetic, and left a very good impression.

Participating actively in local community events
Sumitomo Heavy Industries Group takes an active partin events in local communities, as well.
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 of regional
revitalization. Many people here in the Ofuki area areelderly, so the sports days suffered from a shortage ofparticipants. Upon the community’s request, we sent
three of our people to take part. The weather was fineon the day of the event, and it was a very enjoyable andmeaningful day of exchange with members of the local
community as well as with many other volunteers.
