NIPPON CHEMI-CON CORPORATION

Operation

We have classified Green Procurement and Green Purchase as follows.

Outline of the Green Procurement

Nippon Chemi-Con's green procurement system consists of two pillars, the affirmation of "the environmental management measures" of our suppliers, and "chemical substances control".

As for "the environmental management measures", our suppliers assess themselves using self evaluation sheet and answering the questions on their environmental management systems and activities. Based on the results of their assessment, we grasp the status of our suppliers' environmental conservation activities. Depending on the result, we may call for improvement in their management systems, or conduct an audit.

For chemical substances control, using a regulated chemical substance list that we create internally, we confirm that chemical substances are being managed in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Controlled chemical substances consist of substances prohibited to be contained and reportable substances if contained. The main objectives of "chemical substances control" is to have our suppliers prove that raw materials and components supplied to us do not contain any banned substances, or to have them report substances contained. We also ask our suppliers to submit support documents such as analysis data or element data.

Outline of the Green Purchase

Each business site and plant of Nippon Chemi-Con had settled green purchase standards and carried out green purchase individually. However, in order to share the same green purchase standards company-wide, we established common guidelines in June 2003 for internal operations.

The guidelines target on the following nine goods and five services, which were selected based on the Law on Promoting Green Purchasing and green procurement network standards. One example is, we set copy paper standards for its mixing ratio of waste paper and whiteness degree, and purchase of the acceptable goods will be considered as achievement of green purchase.
