Implementation of Maxell Group Environmental Action Plan for Fiscal 2022

Based on the belief that environmental activities and contribution to business performance should be managed in an integrated manner, Maxell Group aims to motivate its workforce through the management of indicators (on intensity per production basis:amount consumed/amount produced) that help to visualize efforts for improvement. The indicator we used until the previous fiscal year, which was based on intensity per net sales, is no longer used due to the increasing cost of electricity and other energy resulting from soaring crude oil prices and the rising waste disposal costs,which made it impossible to provide appropriate evaluations.
 In fiscal 2022, we successfully achieved the target for energy and waste intensity per production. However, in terms of the target for water usage intensity per production, which had not been achieved, we fell short of the target due to our inability to reduce the fixed water usage volume in line with the decrease in production amount. We will persevere with efforts to make improvements and conserve water.
 In fiscal 2022, Maxell Group experienced no significant environmental incidents, and was subject to no environmental fines or complaints. Additionally, with the enforcement of the Fluorocarbon Emissions Control Act, we conducted both simplified inspections (quarterly) and statutory inspections. These inspections showed an annual leakage of 167 tons of fluorocarbons, a volume that is below the reporting threshold.
