Under the basic concept "To contribute to society through environmentally balanced business operations", the Toyo Aluminium Group regards global environmental protection as the highest priority issue in all aspects of business activities and makes continued efforts to promote activities for the establishment of a sustainable society.

1. To promote energy saving, resource saving activities, reduction of wastes and recycling of resources.
2. To take an eco-friendly approach in every stage of a product including design, procurement of materials, production, distribution, marketing, use, and disposal.
3. To make efforts to reduce substances that place burdens on the global environment such as CO2, chlorofluorocarbons and other harmful substances.
4. To comply with the stipulations of laws, regulations, ordinances, and agreements concerning the environment, maintain cooperation with administrative measures and policies, and work for international cooperation.
   To adequately understand the environmental standards of investment destination countries and promote an earth-conscious approach in developing overseas business.
5. To implement employee training programs with regard to environmental protection in order to ensure that every employee is aware of the importance of geoenvironmental issues and strives for the protection of the global environment.

We have set the following environmental objectives and are continuing our efforts toward the achievement of these objectives.

1. Energy savings (Reductions in the consumption of electricity, gas and heavy oil)
   Improvement of 1% or more per year in basic units
2. Industrial waste (Reduction of wastes derived from production processes)
   Reductions of 5% or more per year

In addition to the objectives described above, we are developing the following environmental activities.

Foil Division

1. Maximized use of generated scrap for recycled metals and raw materials for pastes.
2. Recovery and reuse of rolling oil
3. Reduction of air emission of exhaust gas containing solvents generated in the foil manufacturing process.
4. Effective utilization of resources by making thinner aluminium foil.
5. Multiple use of steel core for winding aluminium foil.
6. Back sheets designed to support solar cells.
7. Vacuum insulation materials (VIP) designed to reduce the use of CFCs for heat insulation in refrigerators and aid in the saving of energy.

Powder & Paste Division

1. Effective utilization of remaining aluminium foil as a raw material for aluminium paste.
2. Reuse of aluminium powder recovered during manufacturing processes.
3. Development of aqueous aluminium paste for coating paints
4. Contribution to energy savings as a result of weight reductions in automobile parts through the use of rapid-quenched aluminium alloy powder products manufactured by Toyo Aluminium
5. Back sheet electrode ink designed to improve the efficiency of solar cells
