SANYO Electric Group Environmental Policies SANYO Electric Group's corporate vision is "Think GAIA " and based on this we aim to become "a company that would truly please the Earth." With "Sustainability" as our keyword, we will pursue "Symbiotic Evolution" to simultaneously realize global environmental conservation and a comfortable and affluent society. For this purpose we will focus on the approaches described below in all stages(research/ development design, material procurement, manufacturing, distribution/sales, usage, and finally, disposal/recycling) related to SANYO Electric Group's business activities (offering of products and services in fields such as audio-visual & information communications equipment, home appliances, industrial/commercial equipment, electronic devices, and batteries). 1. We will establish and maintain an environmental management system. With the objective of pollution prevention, we will examine environmental issues from the global level down to those specific to corporate management. To address them we will work to continually improve our environmental management system. Further, we will periodically audit our system to confirm its effectiveness. 2. In addition to adhering to environment-related laws/regulations and all other requirements that SANYO Electric Group acknowledges, we will establish our own standards when necessary and work to reduce environmental risk. 3. In the field of product design, to contribute to the formation of a sustainable society, we will focus on reduction of energy consumption, effective utilization of recycled materials, improvement in durability and recyclability, and reduced use of chemical substances harmful to the environment. In this way we will strive to develop and promote diffusion of "environmentally conscious products" with minimal environmental impact. 4. In our business activities, in addition to reducing energy consumption and material input through improving process efficiency and effectively using renewable energy and recycled materials, we will strive to reduce emission of chemical substances harmful to the environment, prevent global warming, conserve exhaustible resources, reduce waste, and prevent pollution. 5. In order to strengthen our efforts described above, SANYO Electric Group will put together the "Environmental Action Plan" to outline the objectives and targets. This plan will be periodically reexamined as we work to improve the quality of our environmental management. (1) "SANYO Product Circulation Program: Realize zero-emission, 100% recycling and a detoxified product life cycle" Activities include reduction of greenhouse gas emission, waste reduction, increasing reuse of end-of-life products and parts, increase in recycling, reduction of chemical substance emission, improved management of chemical substances in products, reduction of chemical substances in products, and improved environmental quality of products. (2) "SANYO Blue Planet Program: Tackle global environmental problems,""SANYO Genesis III Program: Pioneer the expansion of a sustainable and clean energy society,"and "SANYO Harmonious Society Program: Create a compassionate and prosperous society" We will develop technologies and products to promote environmentally conscious products and environmental technologies 6. We will engage in environmental education and enlightenment activities to improve the environmental consciousness of all members of SANYO Electric Group, including employees, and those who perform work commissioned by SANYO Electric Group. 7. To facilitate good communication with every stakeholder, including customers, business partners, shareholders, and local communities, and to create an environment in which we work together for a better future, we will seize every opportunity to actively share information and engage in proactive dialogue with them. Further, we will positively incorporate their opinions to improve the quality of our environmental management. 8. As a means of achieving the above, SANYO Electric Group will maintain applicable certifications related to environmental management systems, such as ISO14001, and also obtain new certifications covering new areas.
