Responsible Care (RC) Targets and Action Plans

Medium-term RC Targets, RC activity results and plans

	FY2021-FY2023 Medium-term RC Targets	FY2021 Results	Pro- gress	FY2022 RC Activity Plans
Occupational Health and Safety	Zero lost time work accidents in JSP Group (Japan)	Work accidents: 5 cases for lost time work accident 22 cases for non-lost time work accident	△	Establish a system to unite on-site workers and staff to increase bottom-up activities.
				Establish a system to check the continuation of countermeasures to prevent repetition of past work-related accidents (e.g., conduct KYT and risk assessment in areas where hazards are visible).
				Aim to eliminate the risk of falls and fall accidents (ensure safety through 4S on the workplace floor, etc.).
				When participating in Safety Baton Meetings, share information and spread countermeasures laterally within workplaces to prevent recurrence of work-related accidents at each workplace.
Process Safety and Disaster Prevention	Zero ignition trouble caused by static electricity	Ignition trouble: 2 cases by static electricity and 2 cases by other reasons	△	Establish a method to check the performance of static eliminators and thoroughly manage them.
				Establish a system to check the continuity of countermeasures to prevent repetition of past ignition accidents and fires (Carry out KYT and risk assessment for areas where hazards are visible).
Environmental Preservation	①-1 Improve energy consumption by 1% or more on average over 5 years (Target; 99.0% or less)	101.1% over previous year 5-year average energy consumption change: 100.9%	△	Promote energy conservation activities to reduce energy consumption and use PDCA management for energy conservation plans.
				Devise ways to grasp energy consumption by product group to consider revision of energy intensity calculation.
	①-2 Reduction of CO2 emissions	Base emissions: 66,241t-CO2, 105.2% over previous year	△	Examine and implement GHG emissions reduction plans formulated by each plant and business division. Collect information on various measures to reduce GHG emissions.
	② Reduce landfill waste emissions	Landfill waste emissions:13.1t, 55.7% over previous year	〇	Reduce landfill waste emissions (manage not to exceed the previous year's actual emissions).
	③ Reduce industrial waste emissions	Industrial waste emissions: 977.5t, 90.5% over previous year	〇	Strengthen sorting and recycling into valuable resources.
	④ Reduce PRTR substance emissions		■	Identify and reduce emissions of PRTR substances at each business unit
	⑤ Appropriate management of water consumption	Water consumption: 937t, 96.7% over previous year	〇	Promote efficient use of water resources and management of wastewater
Product Stewardship	① Steady implementation of chemical substance risk assessment		■	Continue to check chemical substances at each workplace (obtain and manage new SDSs, provide education, etc.)
	② Zero leakage and scattering troubles related to raw materials and products		■	Continue to check the management system at each workplace.
Logistics Safety	Ensuring environment and safety related to logistics	Forklift fire occurred at an outside warehouse (out of JSP Corporation’s jurisdiction)	■	Environment: Improve logistics environment (improvement of working environment for drivers, reduction of CO2 emissions).
				Safety: Reinvestigate safety measures at warehouse entry/exit (Zero forklift accidents & zero fall accidents).
				Quality: Maintain and improve logistics quality (reduce or eliminate logistics troubles such as dirty/damaged products or erroneous shipments and reduce back-up car accidents).
Communication with the Public	① Publication of RC Report	“RC no Wa” was published for employees	■	Promote recognition and awareness of RC activities through "RC no Wa" as one of the communication tools for all employees.
	② Continue dialogue with local government and communities		■	Continue to increase opportunities for dialogue with related organizations and local residents.
RC Activities in general	① Promotion of environmental safety activities as JSP Group To continue the communication with JSP Group companies at council, inspection, liaison meeting, etc. To promote the safety and disaster prevention and occupational safety activities as JSP Group		■	① Promote environmental and safety activities as the JSP Group. Continue to communicate with domestic and overseas group companies. Promote security, disaster prevention, and occupational safety activities as a group.
	② Continuous improvement of RC management system including review of regulations		■	② Improve RC management system continuously including review of regulations.
