2-1 EHS Management System
To ensure Group-wide EHS management, the Shionogi Group appoints an EHS overall manager and an EHS overall management representative. The operating divisions of Shionogi & Co., Ltd. and the Shionogi Group companies appoint their respective EHS management representatives and supervisors. To set EHS-related goals and operate the EHS Management System, the Companywide EHS Committee and the Companywide EHS Management Representative Meeting deliberate on related matters and make decisions. With regard to measures for energy conservation and global warming control, the Energy Conservation Committee, placed under the Companywide EHS Committee, is in charge of medium- and long-term goal setting, progress control, the assessment of compliance with legal and regulatory restrictions, and the like. In April 2016, the EHS Office was established to pursue the Shionogi Group’s EHS management and promote EHS initiatives, providing the divisions and companies with necessary assistance, working on problem solving, and arranging for EHS audits within and outside the Group, including suppliers. The Group’s manufacturing plant outside Japan, C&O in China, also appoints persons responsible for the execution and management of environmental measures.

2-2 Management Systems
Four Shionogi manufacturing and research sites with major environmental risks and Shionogi Analysis Center Co., Ltd., a Group company located on the premises of Shionogi & Co., Ltd., are collectively accredited with ISO14001 certification. Shionogi Pharma Chemicals Co., Ltd., a domestic manufacturing Group company, is also ISO14001-certified independently. Each year, the Shionogi Group is inspected by external organizations with regard to its conformity to and the effectiveness of its management system, which was also inspected and certified in FY 2016. The Kanegasaki Plant, Shionogi’s major manufacturing site, is accredited with OHSAS18001 certification for its occupational health and safety management system. As with ISO14001 certification, the plant has undergone an external audit each year to continuously have its OHSAS18001 certification renewed. At present, preparations are underway at the Settsu Plant for OHSAS18001 certification.
2-3 EHS Audits
■External auditsIn FY 2016, the external audits for ISO14001 certification revealed no areas requiring correction for either Shionogi or Shionogi Pharma Chemicals Co., Ltd. Likewise, the external audit for OHSAS18001 revealed no areas for correction for the Kanegasaki Plant. Advice for improvement received during these audits was studied with great care, and necessary actions were taken accordingly.
■ Internal auditsThe internal audits conducted in FY 2016 for ISO14001 and OHSAS18001 certification confirmed the absence of major problems concerning system conformity and compliance. Consequently, we decided on the maintenance of the same level of management. At the same time, for continuous optimal operation of the two management systems, we intend to continue training for new and current internal auditors to maintain and further improve their competencies.
■EHS auditsSeparately from the internal audits, the EHS Office, the Group-wide division in charge of EHS-related affairs, performs EHS audits to check whether Shionogi’s operating sites and Group companies appropriately conduct and maintain EHS activities in compliance with the management systems while pursuing continuous improvement. Audits are particularly carefully conducted at high-risk manufacturing plants. In FY 2016, EHS audits were conducted at the Kanegasaki Plant, the Aburahi Facilities, and Shionogi Pharma Chemicals Co., Ltd., to inspect the status of their management system, compliance with related regulations, and adequacy of EHS risk management. At the Settsu Plant, the executive directors in charge of EHS affairs conducted an on-site inspection of environment-related equipment and facilities and joined the Environment Committee.

2-4 Initiatives Covering the Supply Chain
To ensure thorough legal and regulatory compliance in the area of purchase and procurement and to take environmentally responsible actions, we have established a purchase and procurement policy, pursing our business activities accordingly. For example, we perform EHS audits of important suppliers, confirming their safety measures and environmental consideration in the manufacturing processes. At the manufacturing and research sites, environmental impact assessment is conducted regarding all aspects of their operations from the purchase of raw materials to disposal. Our network of awareness raising and communication covers not only high-risk in-house operations but also out-sourced services and waste disposal operators. Moreover, following the globalization of our supply sources, and to ensure a stable supply, we have joined the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI), thereby adjusting the manner in which we work, to realize CSR-conscious purchase and procurement in conformity with global standards, that is, purchase and procurement that respect high standards in EHS, ethical conduct, labor practice, and so forth.
2-5 Compliance with EHS-related Laws and Regulations
Environment-related laws and regulations vary, encompassing a whole range from waste management and energy management to the prevention of air and water pollution and the management of chemical substances. To ensure thorough compliance, we share information on legal and regulatory revisions at the operating sites, organize educational programs, compile relevant information and knowledge in manuals, and conduct a periodic assessment of legal and regulatory compliance. Up to the present, we have never been subjected to litigation or penalties for environment-related violations. As with environmental matters, we also promote legal and regulatory compliance and assessment with regard to health and safety affairs. In FY 2016, Shionogi Pharmaceutical Research Center received one case of complaint about noise, following a reducing valve breakdown, which caused steam to gush out of the safety valve. In response, the faulty reducing valve was replaced, and the inspection frequency was reviewed.Following the revision of the CFC Emission Act in April 2015, we received the Osaka Prefectural authorities for on-site inspections, which did not result in any instructions.
■Green purchaseTo facilitate searches for, and identification of, environment-friendly products, Shionogi’s intranet-based purchase system indicates corresponding products with a “green product mark,” thereby encouraging the purchase of environmentally responsible office supplies that conform to formally recognized standards, such as those of the Eco Mark and the Green Purchase Network.
*PSCI: An NPO established in 2006 in the United States for the purpose of promoting CSR purchase and procurement in the pharmaceutical industry, with 24 corporate members, mainly Western pharmaceutical giants (as of the end of May 2017)

2-6 EHS Education
We believe that it is essential that each and every employee be aware of the challenges of EHS initiatives and actively participate in related programs.For employees, we provide training programs on environment-related subjects and preliminary education relating to operations with high environmental impacts, such as the management of waste materials and the handling of chemical substances. At each operating site, the target and actual figures of CO2 emissions and the quantities of generated waste materials are clearly made known to encourage vigorous employee involvement. Education on health and safety is also carried out at each site in accordance with the risks it faces.In FY 2016, following ISO14001:2015, the certified operating sites organized in-house information meetings for managers and supervisors, personnel in charge, and internal auditors. Educational programs are also provided to future and current internal auditors for ISO14001 and OHSAS18001 certification so that they may succeed in their qualifications or continue improving their relevant skills.
2-7 Emergency Preparedness
In preparation for earthquakes, fires, the leakage of toxic substances, and other eventualities, we have established response procedures and communication and reporting systems. We also carry out periodic training programs to reinforce our emergency preparedness, while reviewing the response procedures from time to time. In FY 2016, a joint tsunami evacuation drill was organized at the Kuise Site with the participation of local residents and governmental authorities. At the Kanegasaki Plant, personnel held a general disaster reduction drill with public firefighting authorities following a simulated scenario of a fire triggered by an earthquake.

2-8 Local Community Service
As a corporate citizen, Shionogi engages in a variety of activities serving the local communities in collaboration with local governments and other organizations. Such activities include cleanup campaigns and the removal of illegal posters on or along public roads around the sites. In FY 2016, the Kanegasaki Plant cooperated in the holding of a convention organized on the theme of the environment and other events, and the Settsu Plant renewed its registration as a civic emergency support station and on Osaka Prefecture’s AED installation Map. The Aburahi Facilities also renewed their registration on the AED Map and provided support for local school education through the Botanical Gardens.Shionogi representatives sit on the Environment and Safety Committee of the Japan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (JPMA), actively promoting the adoption of industrial guidelines and the planning of industrial-wide initiatives. We diligently work toward and observe the targets and criteria thus set for global warming control and waste reduction, continuously contributing to industry-wide achievement of targets and goals.

4-1 Energy Conservation and Global Warming Control
■ CO2 EmissionsThe Shionogi Group is actively working on CO2 emission reduction to contribute to global warming alleviation. The Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers’ Associations of Japan (FPMAJ) has adopted the goal of reducing CO2 emissions by pharmaceutical manufacturers in 2020 by 23% from the FY 2005 benchmark as part of FPMAJ’s action plan to realize a low-emission society. The Shionogi Group has followed by setting similar or even more ambitious targets, working toward higher energy efficiency, concretely an annual 1% improvement in specific energy efficiencies, and installing highly energy-efficient equipment that consumes less energy. Moreover, we have been continuously reviewing our operational methods. In FY 2014, at the Kanegasaki Plant, the energy supply equipment underwent fuel conversion, and a cogeneration power system was installed, thereby largely reducing the plant’s CO2 emissions. Other actions include the introduction of hybrid vehicles, data collection on greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain, and a switch to non-CFC-using equipment has also been under consideration.At the Nanjing Plant of C&O Pharmaceutical Technology (Holdings) Ltd. in China, the use of biomass, comprising leftover materials from lumber mills, has commenced.

■ Greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain (Scope 3)The company’s business activities form a supply chain with purchase and sales. For truly effective CO2 emission control, it is important to know how much greenhouse gases are emitted not only through the company’s own activities but also throughout the supply chain.At Shionogi, we measure our greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain of purchase/procurement, manufacturing, distribution, and sales in accordance with the “Basic Guidelines on Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain” published by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan.

■ AccoladesRanked “S” in the system of assessing companies by class under the Energy Conservation Act
In FY 2016, the system was established under the Energy Conservation Act to evaluate and classify companies into four ranks (S, A, B, and C) depending on their energy conservation initiative and publicly announce companies’ environmental performance. Shionogi was ranked “S” for the second consecutive year as an excellent company promoting advanced energy-saving initiatives.
Cogeneration Award for the Kanegasaki Plant
In February 2017, the Kanegasaki Plant was honored with the Excellence Award in the industrial category of the Cogeneration Awards 2016 organized by the Advanced Cogeneration and Energy Utilization Center Japan. The Kanegasaki Plant received this award for its introduction in FY 2014 of an LNG-fueled turbine cogeneration system, thereby realizing energy conservation, the shaving of peak power demand, and a business continuation plan (BCP).
■ Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)In April 2015, the revised CFC Emissions Act came into force, making it mandatory for companies to inspect refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment and report leakage. Accordingly, Shionogi began listing applicable equipment, conducting simplified and periodic inspections, putting together records, and calculating the amount of leakage. In FY 2016, Shionogi’s calculated CFC leakage amounted to 803 tons-CO2. In the meantime, we are considering steps to switching to CFC-free or low-GWP equipment on the occasion of equipment renewal in anticipation of the enforcement of the Kigali amendment of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.
■ Climate change risks and opportunitiesRising average atmospheric temperatures are expected to increase the number of infectious disease outbreaks, modify the distribution of organisms transmitting infectious diseases, and deteriorate the aquatic environment, seriously undermining social infrastructure and expanding the need for medicines for infectious diseases. This situation poses a risk to a pharmaceutical company if it fails to fulfill its social responsibility by offering necessary treatment drugs. It can also lead to an important business opportunity for a pharmaceutical company.In view of this, Shionogi is pursuing several policy measures to be able to provide necessary treatment medications, maintaining the production of its existing drugs for infectious diseases, promoting the research and development of drugs for new infectious diseases, including neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), tackling antimicrobial resistance (as a signatory of the Davos Declaration on Antibiotic Resistance), and contributing to and receiving benefits from the Global Health Innovative Technology (GHIT) Fund for the development of antibiotics.The growing frequency of natural disasters near the locales where Shionogi’s overseas suppliers are based poses the risk of infrastructural collapse, making it difficult to maintain manufacturing and supply systems. Considering the above situation, Shionogi has been making special efforts to construct and maintain a stability-assured supply system for pharmaceutical products by selecting the most suitable suppliers and securing several vendors based on careful selection.

4-2 Resource Conservation and Waste Treatment
■ Waste TreatmentAs part of its voluntary action plan to realize a reuse and recycling-oriented society, FPMAJ has adopted the goals of reducing the amount of industrial waste put to landfill in FY 2020 by 70% from the FY 2000 actual figure and reusing or recycling at least 55% of industrial waste in FY 2020. The Shionogi Group sets its numerical targets for FY 2020 to contribute to the achievement of these goals, considering the manufacturing situations at the operating sites and the progress of related measures.Waste materials generated within the Shionogi Group mainly include waste oils generated in the manufacturing processes, sludge from used water treatment, and plastics used as product containers. We are practicing the “3R” approach (reduce, reuse and recycle), trying to reduce the amount of waste by improving the manufacturing processes, recovering valuable parts from waste liquids, plastics and metals for reuse and recycling.At Shionogi, the recycling rate is obtained by the amount sold plus the amount reused/recycled divided by the amount of waste generated, and the landfill rate is defined as the amount put to landfill divided by the amount of waste generated.

■ Prevention of illegal dumpingTo prevent illegal dumping of industrial waste, Shionogi takes great care in selecting the business operators to whom we consign waste transportation, treatment or disposal. Our selection is based on evaluation of their business licenses, treatment/disposal facilities, operational conditions, document management status, implementation of emergency drills, and so forth, which are inspected using our contractor evaluation sheet. Once the operators are selected, we appropriately control contractual documents, licenses and manifests, and conduct at least one on-site inspection per year for each operator.
■ Reuse and recycling of product containers and packaging materialsIn compliance with the Containers and Packaging Recycling Act, a part of the containers and packaging materials used for the products sold by Shionogi are reused or recycled. At Shionogi, we are striving to reduce environmental impact by modifying container materials and packaging forms, while making sure to maintain and improve product quality.
■ In-house reuse/recycling of resourcesOrganic solvents used in pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing at the Kanegasaki Plant, such as dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and methanol, are collected in-house for reuse, thereby realizing a more effective use of resources and reducing waste.

4-3 Water
It is said that 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. Nevertheless, water is a resource whose shortage is a great concern for the future since the portion of water that is usable is actually small due to the world’s population increase and other factors. To protect this precious resource, the Shionogi Group strives to reduce its consumption of both tap water and industrial water by accurately measuring the actual quantities used. For the quality of treated water released into the environment, the Group constantly monitors quality indicators for abnormality, maintaining voluntary control values that are much stricter than the legally and regulatory mandatory ones. In the facilities where antimicrobials are produced, antimicrobials contained in waste water are inactivated to the level that does not have any problems before being sent to in-house waste water treatment facilities. Upon the introduction of each new product, we confirm that its pharmaceutical ingredients contained in treated waste water do not have any impacts on the natural environment.

4-4 Management of Chemical Substances
Numerous types of chemical substances are used in the research, development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical compounds. Some of them can adversely impact human health, ecosystems, and the global environment. For this reason, Shionogi makes sure to appropriately manage chemical substances in accordance with our voluntary management criteria that are stricter than those imposed by related laws and regulations. Needless to say, we rigorously control their release into the atmosphere and waterways.
■ PRTRIn compliance with the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) Act, under which it is mandatory to record, calculate, and publish chemical substances released into the environment, Shionogi submits relevant data to the authorities and manages the use, release, and transfer of volatile organic compounds (VOC). We intend to continue the appropriate management of such use, release, and transfer to reduce the impact that our operations have on the environment.

■ PCBPolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), hard to degrade in the environment and easy to concentrate in the body of living organisms through the food chain, is a cause of great concern in terms of global-scale contamination. In the past, PCBs were used in many items such as condensers, transformers, and fluorescent light ballasts. Any materials containing PCBs, whether waste or currently in use, must be appropriately managed to contain their impact. At Shionogi, personnel in charge supervise the appropriate management of PCB-containing materials, while continuing their treatment and disposal according to a mid-term plan. The disposal of all PCB-containing material is expected to be completed by 2021.
■ AMRAMR stands for “antimicrobial resistance,” that is, resistance to antimicrobials (antibiotics and synthetic antimicrobials) and other antimicrobial agents.AMR is said to be principally caused by the inappropriate or excessive administration of antimicrobials. At the same time, release from manufacturing plants is also believed to be a major factor in the emergence of bacteria resistant to antimicrobials. Therefore, it is important and necessary to devise countermeasures from various aspects. Shionogi, engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of antimicrobials for many years, has always strictly controlled the release of antimicrobials into the environment. In September 2016, we signed the “AMR Industry Roadmap” with 12 global pharmaceutical companies at the World Economic Forum in Davos, to take the lead in preventing the release of antimicrobials into the environment.The signatory companies are expected to expand their commitment to release control throughout their supply chains, specify their control techniques in the form of a roadmap, and offer them to all antimicrobial manufacturers so that they will also join in this worldwide effort to combat AMR.

4-5 Biodiversity
Following JPMA’s Basic Principles and Action Guidelines for Biodiversity announced in January 2012, the Shionogi Group began taking action so that its environmental activities would also serve to protect biodiversity. In concrete terms, we began adjusting the contents of employee education and conducted research in compliance with the Act Concerning the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biological Diversity through Regulations on the Use of Living Modified Organisms (“Cartagena Act”) and the Invasive Alien Species Act.At Shionogi’s Aburahi Botanical Gardens, rare plants, including endangered species, are cultivated and protected, considering their adaptability to the environment of Shionogi’s operating sites. At the Botanical Gardens, We organize educational programs open to primary and middle school pupils and college students, with focus on the preservation and management of plants. Shionogi intends to continue these activities, supporting school education in the local communities with the use of the Botanical Gardens.
■ Safety assessment of chemical processesTo ensure that our chemical processes are safe and environment-friendly, Shionogi performs preliminary assessment of the safety of chemicals and the danger of reaction and incompatibility in the stages of developing manufacturing and testing methods for pharmaceutical compounds and candidate compounds and designing equipment. We also study highly efficient manufacturing processes that enable us to reduce waste and conserve energy. In FY 2016, we conducted the safety evaluation and education of 18 articles and 41 processes in total.Shionogi representatives regularly participate in the process safety study group’s events organized by JPMA. The events include lectures on danger in chemical processes and safety assessment, reports on cases, and factory visits. They enable Shionogi to collect useful information, which we make use to improve the safety of our chemical processes.

4-6 Product Initiatives
In addition to Cymbalta capsules, Shionogi has also adopted biomass bottles (plant-derived polyethylene bottles) for Irbetan and Pirespa tablets. Biomass bottles are pharmaceutical packaging containers made of polyethylene derived from materials left over in sugarcane processing. By switching to biomass bottles from conventional ones made from petroleum-derived polyethylene, we can reduce CO2 emissions, while also conserving fossil fuel resources. Since sugarcane-derived polyethylene accounts for over 90% of the raw materials of our biomass bottles, they conform to the standards stipulated by the Japan BioPlastics Association for biomass plastic identification labeling (the product container bears the label, as shown in the photo).Moreover, we have also modified the packaging materials and volume to make the products more environment-friendly.
Biomass plastic identification labeling system
Biomass plastic products are those that contain organic (such as plant-derived) materials in excess of a specified percentage as their plastic component. The Japan BioPlastics Association certifies products that meet the criteria and permits them to bear the mark.

4-7 Environmental Protection
■ Prevention of Air pollution, water and soil contaminationTo prevent air pollution, Shionogi strictly observes the regulatory values for NOx, SOx and particulate matter, while reducing SOx generation through boiler fuel conversion. To prevent contamination in sewers and rivers, We have adopted voluntary control values for pollutants far stricter than the legal and regulatory values and carry out permanent supervision with the use of TOC meters and oil content monitoring devices. At the Kanegasaki Plant, Aburahi Facilities, and Shionogi Pharma Chemicals, used water is treated and purified in dedicated facilities situated on the premises before it is released into nearby rivers.At the Kanegasaki Plant, which handles large quantities of chemicals, voluntary control values are applied to prevent soil contamination, and measurements are taken periodically. The measurements have always been well below the applicable environmental criteria.

4-8 Environmental Accounting
Shionogi has adopted environmental accounting, following the Environmental Accounting Guidelines of the Ministry of the Environment of Japan, to measure its environmental protection costs and benefits from related activities and to quantitatively manage initiatives for environmental protection. In FY 2016, our main investment items included the replacement of air-conditioning systems and lighting fixtures with higher-efficiency models, resulting in global warming control cost. The main cost items included a pollution prevention cost through the maintenance and management of exhaust gas and waste water treatment facilities and dichloromethane absorption and recovery equipment, and a resource circulation cost for waste treatment and disposal. The actual benefits included profit from the sale of waste liquids and metal scrap and a reduction in energy cost (for electricity and gas) realized by the revision of manufacturing and air-conditioning equipment.
Accounting scopeAccounting covers the period from April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017, and Shionogi and domestic subsidiaries.Environmental protection costs were calculated by proportional distribution according to the percentages related to environmental protection.Economic benefits from environmental protection measures were calculated by taking into account only effects that can be calculated based on verifiable grounds (actual effects).

To improve the reliability and transparency of the disclosure of our EHS activities, we asked experts from the Institute for Environmental Management Accounting (IEMA) to assess the Shionogi Group’s EHS consideration and management status and advise us on our future activities.This year, the experts visited with us at the Head Office and the Kuise Site, to interview the management team and verify the EHS data.

EHS Management Assessment
An outline of the objectives and executed actionsAs a third party unrelated to the business operation of Shionogi & Co., Ltd., we have assessed the company’s management activities with a focus on the environment, health, and safety (“EHS activities”) as described in the EHS Report 2017 compiled by the company. We present our views to improve the reliability of the report.To find out how Shionogi’s EHS activities are planned and implemented, and how the performance data resulting from the activities and constituting the basis of the disclosed information are compiled, evaluated and used, we visited the company’s divisions, interviewing personnel, including Mr. Yoshiaki Kamoya (Senior Executive Officer in charge of EHS affairs), inspected related documents, and asked questions to personnel in charge. At the Kuise Site, we verified that the operations had been conducted in accordance with the designated systems, with regard to the source documents of the disclosed numerical data.
AssessmentShionogi & Co., Ltd. established the EHS Office in April 2016. While EHS is a traditional term, the pharmaceutical industry attaches importance to EHS as a broad notion inclulding CSR. Shionogi has decided to publish an EHS report separately from its integrated report, to present the former as a data book providing detailed information on the company’s environmental, health and safety initiatives not covered in the integrated report. This “double disclosure,” that is, publishing the integrated report to present the company’s overall policy and the EHS report to disclose information on concrete activities, demonstrates Shionogi’s sufficient and expansive information disclosure.At present, the data contained in the EHS report is mainly related to the environment. Provision of more information on health and safety is expected in the future. Given Shionogi’s social recognition for its health-related activities, as attested by its selection on the Health & Productivity Stocks list, Shionogi should set an example for other companies in terms of information disclosure in this area. In the integrated report, considerable space is given to sustainable development goals (SDGs), and Shionogi expresses its intention to focus on “Goal 3. Health and well-being for all.” Since this is an extremely significant point in the company’s overall CSR activities, we suggest that Shionogi disclose more detailed information on this theme in a future EHS report.Society’s interest has shifted from CSR data to corporate strategies for CSR activities and effects. To have EHS report positioned from this stand point will make the EHS report an important tool more effective to CSR management.The calculated environmental performance data were found to have no major errors, within the range covered by our basic verification.
< The Kuise Site >The reorganization of the Shionogi Group was completed, and the Kuise Site was positioned as a CMC research center (relating to drug manufacturing methods, etc.). The Kuise Site used to be Shionogi’s oldest plant, but it now manufactures only some of our compounds. For this reason, large numbers of chemicals have been used as a research center and the strict management system is indispensable. The employees’ environmental awareness is high because the Site was initially a plant. Good management conditions of drainage and disposal have been maintained since the time when it was a manufacturing site. We have confirmed its appropriate management that matches the Site’s current situation. While the Shionogi Group’s overall EHS action goals are still considered at the moment, the Site has had its own goals, including those concerning health and safety, for more than 10 years, and has carried out activities in the PDCA process. We have also observed that the Site’s activities quickly reflect various aspects of social trends. We expect the Site to continue its activities to lead the overall Group.
