Environmental ManagementStanley Group Vision

In April 2000 we formulated the Stanley Group Vision in order to share our core values, the significance of our existence for society, and our enduring mission among Stanley Group companies around the world.

Under this vision, we have established our Business Philosophy and Guidelines for Action, and

have set our sights on broadly contributing to society by means of manufacturing with a thorough mastery of the Five Ways of Creating Value with Light.

What is more, in order to practice environmentally friendly corporate activities we have put our full efforts behind our environmental protection activities.

Basic Stance on Environmental Management

Environmental Policies

In all our corporate activities, we will follow our Basic Environmental Philosophy, with each member of our company aware of his and her roles and responsibilities regarding environmental conservation.

■ Throughout our business operations, products and services, we promote environmental activities such as the conservation of natural resources and energy and the reduction of wastes to preserve or advance the environmental wellness.

■ We carry out corporate activities while striving to minimizing environmental impacts, and we promote our environmental protection activities to achieve continual improvement of the environment and the prevention of pollution.

■ In addition to observing the environmental regulations and the environmental agreements we conclude with other parties, when necessary, we apply voluntary environmental standards of our own on the basis of those regulations and agreements.

■ To implement our Environmental Policies, we specify environmental objectives, set up environmental targets, and regularly or extraordinarily reexamine the objectives and targets in view of current progress.

■ We continuously put our Environmental Policies into practice under the framework of our environment management system.

■ We communicate our Basic Environmental Philosophy and Environmental Policies to all the persons working for the company, and we also gain the understanding and cooperation of our suppliers and other stakeholders through informational efforts.

■ We make our Basic Environmental Philosophy and Environmental Policies accessible to the general public, and we report the progress of our environmental activities in order to increase communication with the local community, when requested.

Environmental ProclamationWe, Stanley, strive to become an Earth friendly corporation by practicing the "non-use, non-

emission and non-disposing" of environmentally harmful substances.

Basic Environmental PhilosophyThrough the efficient use of resources, we will strive to ensure that all our corporate

activities sustain or enhance the environment so that we can pass on the immeasurably rich blessings of our Earth to the next generation in a healthy state.

Environmental Management StructureWe have created an environmental management structure with an environmental board director

as its highest officer under the president. Our Environmental Protection Activities Committee is a body for deliberating over issues like our environmental strategy, environmental administration, and important policies from a global standpoint. What is more, we have set up the Environmental Planning & Management Department as a department to promote environmental management, and are moving forward with activities for improvement.

With our business base in manufacturing, the Stanley Group provides products considered necessary by society while promoting an environmental management system designed to pass on the immeasurably rich blessings of our Earth to the next generation in a healthy state.

We have created this environmental management system in order for the Group as a whole to implement our Environmental Long-Term Management Plan based on our environmental policies.

Internal Environmental Audits

We carry out internal environmental audits by forming independent in-house auditor teams comprised of internal environmental auditors who have been certified internally.

In addition, audits by the environmental management supervisors at each base are implemented on a reciprocal basis to promote the maintenance and improvement of the EMS level at each base.

External Audits

We undergo external audits regularly once per year, as well as renewal inspections through third party certifying agencies.

In FY 2011 we carried out audits on Stanley Electric Co., Ltd., which included companies in the domestic group, with there being zero items requiring corrections.

Environmental Education Environmental Management AuditingWe provide environmental education divided into the categories of training according to

personnel position and job type, training according to occupational abilities (strategic education) such as certification education for internal environmental auditors, and training according to occupational abilities (function segmented education) which is aimed at employees engaged in operations in the environmental field.

We consider Environmental Management System (EMS) auditing to be essential for the sake of continuously improving the EMS. Stanley Electric and Stanley Group companies in Japan conduct auditing through internal environmental auditors, as well as external audits through external, third party certifying agencies.

Environmental Risk Management

Initiatives for Environmental Risk Management

We observe all domestic and foreign environmental regulations, and work to reduce and eliminate harmful chemical substances (substances which are contained in products and those which are used during their manufacture). One such initiative is to carry out development, design, and purchasing management for products that do not contain harmful chemical substances on the basis of a list of substances of environmental concern.

With regard to regulations and controls, we are promoting compliance with the revisions to the PRTR Law and the Law concerning the Rational Use of Energy, as well as the Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and others. To prevent environmental accidents in advance, we have instituted environmental patrols and checks during internal environmental audits.

What is more, we are working to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases, which are a global environmental problem, through our supply chain. In order to carry out such activities we have revised our Green Procurement Guidelines and are promoting cooperation with our business partners.

Management of Substances of Environmental Concern

From the standpoint of protecting the Earth’s environment, regulatory structures for chemical substances have been growing stricter around the world and the importance of managing such substances has been on the rise.

The Stanley Group promotes the manufacture of products that do not contain harmful substances of environmental concern through the following initiatives.

Internal Structure for Managing Information on Substances of Environmental Concern■ Creating a Database of Chemical Substances Found in Products

This is an important database for managing information on the content of chemical substances in the parts and raw materials which make up our products. This database provides information on the manufacture of products that do not contain harmful substances of environmental concern to the relevant departments.

■ Establish and Strengthen a Structure for Managing Substances of Environmental Concern

We periodically carry out audits on our structure for managing substances of environmental concern at our production bases in Japan and overseas and promote initiatives to strengthen this.

Structure for Managing Information on Substances of Environmental Concern through Our Supply Chain

Throughout our environmental protection activities as a whole, the Stanley Group is actively engaged in procuring environmentally conscious materials (hereinafter referred to as “green procurement”), in close collaboration with our business partners in order to make progress towards minimizing the substances of environmental concern.

■ Our Philosophy for Green ProcurementWe have issued Green Procurement Guidelines for the Stanley Group to clearly lay

out our philosophy on green procurement. 1. We purchase parts and materials from suppliers that promote environmental

protection activities. 2. We purchase raw materials/parts/products with less substances of environmental

concern.3. We strive to determine and reduce the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG)

emissions.

■ Green Procurement Standard1. We evaluate and judge suppliers’ environmental initiatives, environmental policies,

and management systems and only deal with suppliers deemed to be excellent.2. We do not procure parts or materials that contain or use substances that we have

prohibited and try to reduce the other substances that we have designated.3. We promote the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycle) and procure parts and materi-

als that generate less waste. 4. We promote the recycling and reduction of packaging materials. 5. We take energy saving into consideration when purchasing parts and materials.6. We strive to increase procurement from the suppliers who have agreed to reduce

GHG emissions from the perspective of product life cycle.

■ Green Procurement PoliciesIn order to continue to further strengthen

and promote environmental initiatives and green procurement, we describe to our major business partners the objectives of these initiatives, while also asking for their cooperation mainly with regard to the following points.・ Assurance that zero substances banned

by laws or regulations have been used・ Acquisition of certification / Complete

accreditation as one of our eco-partners

Soil Contamination Surveys

In FY 2011 we implemented a soil survey prior to carrying out paving work at our Hatano Factory. As a result of this, selenium and boron were detected in excess of the standard values and so countermeasures were taken by means of replacing the soil. This matter was also reported to government authorities according to law.

Compliance Status with Laws and Ordinances

There were deficiencies in providing notifications as per the Fire Service Act at some of our branches, and so we are confirming the current situation and moving forward with providing said notifications. We will continue to confirm our compliance status, including for these matters, through internal audits.

Responding to Complaints

There were no complaints from nearby residents in FY 2011. When complaints do arise, we work to take immediate countermeasures to them.
