CSR Report 2015 (including the Data Book (PDF)) has been reviewed for assurance by an independent third party and as a result has been granted the sustainability report review and registration logo. This demonstrates that this report satis�es the necessary criteriaestablished by the Japanese Association of Assurance Organizations for Sustainability Information (J-SUS; http://www.j-sus.org/) for the use of this logo, intended to assure the reliability of sustainability information.

This report has been printed and bound with consideration for the environment in the following ways:(1) This report uses Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®)-certi�ed paper produced from carefully managed forests.(2) The computer-to-plate (CTP) method of direct printing, which uses no �lm that later must be disposed of as waste, is used in the plate-making process.(3) Vegetable-oil ink, which generates few volatile organic compounds (VOC) and has excellent biodegradability and de-inking performance, is used in the printing process. Waterless printing, which generates no hazardous waste �uids, has been used as well.(4) Glue that does not hinder the recyclability of paper is used in the binding process.

Environmental Conservation Benefits (by Each Division Company)

To promote efficient environmental management and fulfill corporate accountability responsibilities, Sekisui Chemical Group employs environmental accounting that makes it possible to ascertain the costs and effects of environmental conservation activities. Calculation is conducted by referring to the Environmental Accounting Guidelines 2005 issued by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment, with the addition of Sekisui Chemical Group’s own concepts, such as external economic benefits (estimated effects).

In fiscal 2014, the number of production business sites with collectible data increased.Total costs declined year on year, reflecting a decrease in costs for global warming countermeasures,

waste reduction costs, upstream and downstream costs, and R&D spending, despite an increase in costs for preventing atmosphere, water and noise pollution and higher spending on environmental education.

At the same time, investments decreased, reflecting the absence of large-scale environmental investments, such as the megasolar power plant constructed in the previous fiscal year. R&D spending also declined.

A look at economic effects shows that earnings from the sale of electricity generated at megasolar power plants have increased since fiscal 2013, while gains from disposals at price decreased. Moreover, cost reductions from energy conservation activities and cost savings from waste reduction activities expanded. External economic effects increased steadily, such as from the sale of homes with solar power generation systems.

Scope of environmental accounting(1) Summation period: April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015(2) Scope of summation: 47 target production sites (as listed on page 2 of this Data Book) + 5 laboratories + each department of Headquarters + back offices of division companies + 15 housing sales companies.

Notes:Under the scope of data collection in fiscal 2012, there were 40 target production sites + 4 laboratories + each department of Headquarters + back offices of division companies + 15 housing sales companies.Under the scope of data collection in fiscal 2013, there were 44 production business sites + 5 laboratories + each department at Headquarters + back offices of Division Companies + 15 housing sales companies.The following business sites were added and removed. Added: Sekisui Medical Co., Ltd. Iwate Plant, Tsukuba Plant, Amagasaki Plant, ADME & Tox. Research Institute Sekisui Fuller Co., Ltd. Shiga Plant, Hamamatsu Plant Removed: Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd. Amagasaki Plant (plant closed)Under the scope of data collection in fiscal 2014, the following business sites were added:Yamanashi Sekisui Co., Ltd., Hanyu Sekisui Co., Ltd., Sekisui Nano Coat Technology Co., Ltd.

(3) Principle of summation • Depreciation amounts are the same as those for financial accounting. • Investment amounts are based on budget approvals during the summation period. • Expenditures and investments that contain other than environmental conservation activities are distributed pro-rata in 10% increments.

After collecting the raw data in (1) above, stages (2) and (3) are calculated using a customized version of the Life-cycle Impact assessment Method based on Endpoint modeling2 (LIME2) developed in Japan by Professor Norihiro Itsubo at Tokyo City University. (See p. 26 of this Data Book for calculation basis.)

Results of Fiscal 2014 Calculation

Calculation Method

(1) Gather quantitative data on the level of environmental impact and bene�ts of environmental activities by category

What is SEKISUI Environmental Sustainability Index?The SEKISUI Environmental Sustainability Index is a single indicator of the level of impact on the environment by all of the corporate activites of Sekisui Chemical Group (i.e. use of natural capital) and contributions back to the environment (i.e. return of natural capital) . This index integrates all of the effects of the key implementation objectives of our medium-term plan: reduce various environmental impact, increase products and services that contribute to the environment, and preserve the natural environment, and others.

Results of calculation

Based on fiscal 2014 performance , the SEKISUI Environmental Sustainability Index was calculated as follows. With environmental impact equal to 100 representing the use of natural capital, the return of natural capital as contributions back to the environment is 64.5.

Environmental impact = Use of natural capital

Environmental contribution = Return of natural capital

(2) A database of coe�cient to calculate the environment impact collected by experts was used for calculating the impact (negative factors) and contributions (positive factors) by category

• Raw material usage• Water used• Environmental contribution of each product

• GHG emissions• Emissions of chemical substances• Employee participation rate in activities to preserve the natural environment

• Volume of waste generated• Area of land used

Environmental impact and environmental

activities (i)

Raw data by category Ai x Coe�cient ki = Environmental impact (Ti)

Σ(Raw data for each category)Ai × Coe�cient ki = Σ (Environmental impact Ti)

(3) Total of Environmental impact and contribution for each category (integrated total)

* Units are the amount of damage calculated (= amount necessary to restore the environment to the original conditions［living organisms, plants, and global warming］ if our activities damaged the environment)

Zero Emissions Achievement Criteria and AccreditationSystem of Sekisui Chemical Group

(1) Not engaging in any outside incineration without thermal utilization (thermal recycling), or landfill outside or inside of facilities (recycling ratio: 100%)

(2) If the waste quantity is small and it is a type of waste that has never been recycled before, recycling methods and relevant contractors must be identified and a service agreement must be executed.

We also have established uniform evaluation criteria known as the Zero Emissions Achievement Evaluation List. We have established a system designed to conduct internal checks and issue approvals for the status of observance of the evaluation criteria as well as legal compliance, rules and signage for waste segregation and storage, management of related facilities, and waste reduction planning and management.

The list obliges us to conduct inspections of outside contractors and to clarify treatment routes in order to enhance the management system through these activities.

Preventing Pollution Disposal and Storage of Machines and Equipment ThatContain PCBs

Sekisui Chemical Group is working to meet the targets of legal and regulatory restrictions and to reduce discharge of pollutants through appropriate maintenance and control and periodic inspection of the wide range of equipment it uses.

Stored transformers and condensers that contain PCBs are being disposedof steadily, beginning with sites for which acceptance at PCB treatmentfacilities is available.

In addition, at sites with machines and equipment that contain PCBs in storage, such devices are managed strictly and thoroughly, through means including locked storage and periodic inspection.

Environmental Complaints, etc. Emergency Response and Reporting Drills

In order to prevent the occurrence and spread of environmental contamina-tion in the event of an emergency, at least once every year each of our business sites carries out emergency response and reporting drills, assuming a variety of hypothetical cases relevant to the nature of each business site. Major drills performed for fiscal 2014 are as follows:

In fiscal 2014, there were two fire accidents and six complaints. We have implemented measures to prevent a reoccurrence of environmental complaints.

Items Indicator Calculation Method

Environment efficiency

SEKISUI Environmental Sustainability Index

SEKISUI Environmental Sustainability Index = Groupwide return of natural capital / Groupwide use of natural capital x 100Calculation of amounts of natural capital used and returned

Our calculations use LIME2, Japanese life-cycle impact assessment method developed by Professor Norihiro Itsubo at Tokyo City University. Of the four safeguard subjects covered by LIME2, we selected three safeguard subjects (primary production, biodiversity, and damage to human health from global warming) that are regarded as having a direct relationship with the natural capital in our calculations and created a single index. The amount of return of the natural capital is calculated as the reduction in risk of damages to the natural capital that results from Groupwide efforts to contribute to the environment, compared to if no actions were taken.

• Items included in calculation of the natural capital usedDirect use: Land use, greenhouse gas emissions, emissions of PRTR substances and atmospheric pollutants, emissions of COD into water Indirect use: Procured raw materials, energy used, water used, waste generated, indirect GHG emissions (Scope 3) from supply chain

• Items included in calculation of the natural capital returnedContribution from of Environment-Contributing Products to reductions in use of the natural capital, contributions from environmental preservation activities, environment-related donations, electricity generated at megasolar power plants

Scope of calculation / breakdown of components. The following assumptions are used in the calculations.• Raw materials: Estimates of procured raw materials

For housing, breakdown of raw materials used per housing unit multiplied by a total number of housing unit built

• Production / emission of harmful chemical substances: (Japan) PRTR substances in excess of one ton of emissions / year; Change to (Overseas) Not included

• Production / land maintenance: Land used for buildings include the entire site area of plants and laboratories in Japan; estimates of site areas for overseas plants. Impact of land usage measured for 30 years after land purchase

• Other: Capital goods as supply chain, other combustibles and energy-related activities, transportation and distribution, waste, business trips, employees, commutes to work, lease assets (downstream), processing, use and disposal of products sold Business trips and employee work commutes: Covers consolidated employees, including some estimates Use of products sold: Covers houses sold during the fiscal year, based on estimates of energy usage over 60 years Processing of products sold: Includes estimates of energy used during processing at customer locations of products likely to consume large usages of energy Disposal of products sold: Covers main raw materials during the fiscal year, based on estimates of products being disposed during same fiscal year

*Product contributions: (1) A qualitative assessment is performed to evaluate the differences in environmental contribution between target products and previous technologies in terms of six categories (CO₂ and energy reduction, waste reduction, resource conservation, water conservation and recycling, pollution prevention, and direct preservation of biodiversity) by stage of product’s lifecycle (five stages from raw materials procurement, production, product distribution, product use and maintenance, and product disposal and recycling). Any significant difference identified is further investigated using the data by product unit. (2) Based on the investigation results obtained, the environmental contribution by product unit is calculated using environmental load coefficient multiples applicable for each data. (3) The environmental contribution by product is determined by multiplying the result in (2) by total units sold for the fiscal year. The effect of Environment-Contributing Products is calculated on a trial basis for approximately 90% of their sales.

• Direct contribution / preservation of the natural environment: The total number of participants and the time they spent in preservation activities is multipled by the quantity of CO2 Japanese ceder trees would absorb if planted.(1.1 tons-CO2 / man hours)

• Direct contribution / donations: Donations made with the intent of environmental preservation are assumed at an amount equivalent to the amount of environmental damages.

• Direct contribution / megasolar power plants: Electricity generated is converted into CO2 equivalent as total energy created
