Environmental Protection (Prevention of Global Warming)
CO2 Emissions IndexCO2 emissions have been decreasing with each passing year s ince the “Commitment to a Low Carbon Society” act iv i t ies began in FY2013, wi th emissions dropping by 9.9 million metric tons (14.5%) last fiscal year compared to the reference year of FY2005. In FY2018, JCIA announced a new target of reducing the absolute quantity of CO2 emissions before FY2030, by 6.79 mi l l ion met r ic tons compared to FY2013.
Emissions of CO2 and Three Alternatives to FreonWhen the reduction of CO2 emissions and the reduction of emissions in the manufacture of three alternatives to Freon (PFCS, SF6, NF3) are combined, emissions in 2018 were down 12% from the base years (=100%).

1 - 2 Environmental Protection (Industrial Waste Reduction)
Progress in Achievement of FY 2018 Target for Final Disposal VolumeStarting from FY2016, we have set a new target in accordance with the Keidanren Voluntary Action Plan for Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle Society (reducing FY2020’s final landfill disposal volume by about 70% from the volume in FY2000) and are currently undertaking a process to achieve this target.
Industrial Waste Volume and Effective Resource Utilization RatioIndustrial waste volume in FY2018 was 4.03 million metric tons, down 35% from the level in the base year of FY2000. We are also making positive efforts to encourage sorting and reuse. The effective resource utilization ratio (the ratio of the volume of effectively util ized resources to the volume of waste generation) increased from 43% in FY2000 to 68% in FY2018, thus achieving the goal, ahead of the original schedule, of increasing the ratio to 65% by FY2020, which is stipulated in the Keidanren Voluntary Action Plan for Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle Society that started in 2016.
Final Landfill Disposal VolumeFY2018’s final landfill disposal volume was 166 thousand metric tons which is 500 metric tons less than FY2017 and a reduction of 70% compared to FY2000. These results also show that, ahead of the original schedule, we have achieved the goal of reducing 70% of final landfill disposal by FY2020, which is stipulated in the Keidanren Voluntary Action Plan for Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle S o c i e t y t h a t s t a r t e d i n 2 0 1 6 . Furthermore, as well as reducing the final landfill disposal volume, member companies are strengthening their verification of the proper disposal of waste in accordance with legal revisions, through the issuance, recovery and v e r i f i c a t i o n o f i n d u s t r i a l w a s t e manifestos, and the inspection of final disposal sites.

1 - 3 Environmental Protection (Prevention of Atmospheric Pollution and Water Pollution)
Prevention of Atmospheric Pollution and Water PollutionChemical industrial companies in Japan have significantly reduced their emissions of air and water pollutants. Member companies comply not only with regulatory standards, but also agreements with municipalities. They also set their own voluntary management criteria, which are more rigorous than government standards, to intensify their ongoing efforts to reduce emissions.
(Emission intensity: Emissions per ¥1 million sales, The figures in the bars indicate the numbers of companies that submitted data.)

Emissions of PRTR* SubstancesThe emissions of PRTR designated substances in FY2018 was 10,200 metric tons, a reduction of approximately 78% compared to FY2000. These have been decreasing year by year since FY2011. The breakdown of the emission quantities was 93% for emissions into the air and 7% for emissions into water areas. No emissions into the soil were reported.
* PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register): The PRTR system is designed to identify, collect and disseminate data on the amounts and sources of a variety of toxic chemicals released to the environment or transferred outside of facilities in the form of waste.
PRTR Law: Act on Confirmation, etc. of Release Amounts of Specific Chemical Substances in the Environment and Promotion of Improvements to the Management Thereof
VOC* EmissionsMember companies are making tremendous efforts to install equipment and improve the processes for controlling emissions of VOCs. The VOC emissions in FY2018 amounted to 24,900 metric tons, a 72% reduction compared to the FY2000 level, continuing a significant downward trend.
* VOC (volatile organic compound): VOC is a collective term for a wide variety of volatile organic compounds that turn into gas and enter the atmosphere, including toluene, xylenes and ethyl acetate.
Investment in Environmental MeasuresIn FY2018, the sum of investments in the installation and maintenance of environment-friendly equipment, such as energy saving and CO2 reduction equipment, and investments in the development of environment-friendly products and technologies amounted to ¥77.3 billion. This represents a ratio of investment to sales of 0.41%. While the investment amount fluctuates from year to year depending on the number of companies submitting data, the ratio of investment to sales remains at roughly the same level every year. The planned investments in environmental protection measures by member companies have been steadily improving their environmental performance.
Emissions of Voluntary Surveyed SubstancesThere were 17,000 metric tons of substance emissions surveyed by JCIA voluntarily, achieving a 69% reduction compared to FY 2000. The breakdown of the emission quantities was 92% for emissions into the air and 8% for emissions into water areas. No emissions into the soil were reported.
Note) Change in the number of substances voluntarily surveyed by JCIA:From FY 2000 to 2009: 126 substancesFrom FY 2010 to 2012: 106 substancesFrom FY 2013 to the current: 90 substances

Accident OccurrencesIn FY2018, the total number of accidents at plants (96) and the number of accidents at plants per company (1.25) significantly increased compared to FY2017. Among other items, the number of leakage accidents increased by 30% from last year.
Investment in Safety, Security, and Disaster-Prevention MeasuresThe investment in safety and disaster prevention, and the ratio of investment to sales in FY2018 were ¥129.2 billion (up 6% from FY2017) and 0.69% (no change f rom FY2017 ) respectively, remaining almost unchanged f rom last year. M e m b e r c o m p a n i e s a r e investing in safety and disaster p reven t ion measures in a planned and sustained manner.
Breakdown of Safety and Disaster-Prevention Investment AmountThe breakdown of investment amount in safety and disaster prevention in FY2018 indicates that more than half of this amount was spent on measures against aging facilities.
In 2018, the lost time injury rate for member companies and their subcontractors was lower than both the manufacturing industry as a whole and the chemical industry as a whole, although the figure is hovering at around the same level.
*1 LTIR: Indicator that shows the frequency of lost time injuries
*2 Lost Time Injury Severity Rate: Indicator that shows the severity of occupational accidents
While one fatal accident case each was reported from a member company and a subcontractor in 2018, the lost time injury severity rate was improved compared to 2017.
Number of Fatalities from Occupational AccidentsWhile the number of deaths among member companies remained at one in 2018, unchanged from last year, the number of fatalities among subcontractors decreased from 2017.

5 Members’ Self-AssessmentDetails of Self-Assessment Scores (Average scores for all member companies)On a scale of 5, scores in the 4-point range were recorded for all important items in the categories of management system, environmental protection, and occupational health and safety, showing that the PDCA cycle is rotating at a high rate in these categories. In the category of process safety and disaster prevention, an enhancement in communication is desirable. In terms of distribution safety, some issues remain in the categories of response to emergency situations as well as inspection and monitoring. In the category of social dialogue, there are still many issues with objectives, plans, education and training, in addition to inspection and monitoring.
