| Energy Conservation and Global Warming Prevention |
|
Increasing energy consumption has an impact on environmental issues such as global warming. It is now a common practice for corporations to limit energy levels more effectively to complete required industrial activities.
Kyocera has promoted activities with the target of reducing energy consumption since FY1993. Kyocera is also promoting the reduction of GHG emissions through various countermeasures such as energy conservation for the prevention of global warming. |

| Waste Reduction and Recycling Measures |
|
| To contribute to establishing a recycling-based society, Kyocera started its activities for industrial waste reduction with a basic policy in FY1992. Since then, Kyocera has been working to reduce waste, including general waste, by focusing on minimizing the generation and discharge of all waste. |
Basic Policy for Waste Reduction
| 1. |
Elimination of non-recyclable trash |
| 2. |
Minimize waste generated by business activities |
| 3. |
Recycle waste once it is generated |
| 4. |
Change non-recyclable waste into harmless materials |

| Air Pollution and Water Pollution Prevention Activities |
|
| Kyocera has been involved in reducing pollutants in order to limit the impact on the environment and the ecosystem caused by the discharge of pollutants into the water, atmosphere and soil. In FY2009, we revised the Kyocera Environmental Management Standard established in FY1993 to the “Kyocera’s Domestic Group Environmental Management Standard” to ensure thorough management. |
Air Pollution and Water Pollution Prevention Activities
· Ozone Layer Protection
· Installation of Cyanogen Wastewater Closed Treatment Facility
· Building a 100% Recycling System for Discharged Water by Removing Lead |

| Chemical Substances Management |
|
| Some chemical substances cause environmental pollution and affect human health and the ecosystem as a result of long-term accumulation. To manage these substances, we have established a chemical substances control system to minimize the amount of toxic chemical substances released into the air, water and waste. |
