Energy and Resource Saving Results
We at SMK have posted prevention of global warming as a major business challenge and are working to improve energy efficiency. Under our campaign for reducing industrial waste discharge amount and “zero emissions” (reduction of landfill waste amount to zero), we are striving to make more effective use of resources.
For fiscal 2009, our overseas targets for CO2 emissions and industrial waste discharge per unit of production value are both on a par with those in fiscal 2008, but this is because production value is translated into yen. In terms of the levels in local currencies with the influence of exchange rate fluctuation excluded, the targets per unit of production value at each overseas site are reductions. |

Energy Saving Results
| Up to fiscal 2007, our overseas works expanded along with sales growth, and this was reflected in a steady increase in CO2 emissions. In fiscal 2008, emission levels increased (119percent of fiscal 2007 level) per unit of production value, but the absolute amount dipped (97 percent of the same year level), as noted in the Summary of Environmental Preservation Activities. |

Resource Saving Results
|
For Japan sites, we attained the goal of zero emissions of landfill waste in fiscal 2007. In fiscal 2008, again we were able to achieve a substantial decrease to 59% of fiscal 2007 level in the landfill waste amount in the overall SMK Group.
We recorded a decrease to 87 percent of fiscal 2007 level in the absolute amount of industrial waste discharge and increase to 108 percent of the same year level in terms of per unit of production value. |
