Results of EBARA Group's Environmental Targets (FY2010)

Most of the FY 2010 environmental target set forth in accordance with EBARA Group's Code of Conduct have been achieved. In particular, the successful achievement of the target values for waste and chemical substances should attest to the devotion to environmental activities that all employees showed in their daily work, as well as to the efforts of the environmental managing staffs. However, the various measures that were tried to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have fallen somewhat short of their targets.
Efforts for environmental conservation as part of our corporate activities include the formulation of design standards for environment and the EBARA Group Green Procurement Guidelines.
Efforts for environmental management include maintaining the ISO 14001 certification body and holding periodic environmental education sessions, where management also participates.
