Environmental Communication with Employees

Communication by Company Newsletters

We are using company newsletters to communicate environmental information to our employees and raise their environmental awareness. In the May/June issue of 2007, we introduced to our employees both Mabuchi's current state of environmental response and what ideal environmental response and assurance should be under the theme of "Mabuchi's Environmental Responses."

Communication via Intranet

To improve sharing of environmental information among employees, we have been operating a database called "ECOLOG" on Mabuchi's Intranet since fiscal 2004 with the management from the Head Office.
That database communicates a variety of environment-related information, including Mabuchi's environmental philosophy; basic environmental policy; environment-related regulations; environmental objectives, education, plans, performances; and internal and external environmental information, allowing all the employees to browse our environmental information. We update and manage the information continuously.
In fiscal 2007, we expanded the intranet to overseas related companies, enhancing information-sharing among the employees of the Group.

Catchphrase and Poster Contest Promoting Environmental Consideration

We have been implementing " Catchphrase and Poster Contest Promoting Environmental Consideration " since 2005 as one of our efforts toward environmental conservation activities by all members' participation to boost all Mabuchi Group staff members' awareness of the environment. The contest has been the motivator for the promotion of all Mabuchi Group staff members' awareness of the environment.

No.1 in the catchphrase division : [Let's create 1,800 million ecologies! ]
*In fiscal 2007, the total number of motors produced by the Mabuchi Group was about 1,800 million.

Environmental Communication with Society

We are proactively advancing environmental communication with local communities.

Publication of Reports

We have been publishing the Environmental Report annually since 2001, introducing to society information such as the entire Mabuchi Group's global environment conservation activities, results of environmentally hazardous emissions, and future activity plans.
Reflecting the social trend of valuing corporate social responsibilities, we added the performance of the entire Mabuchi Group's social contribution activities to the report beginning in this year, and in line with that we changed the report title to the "Environmental & Social Report." We will continue our efforts to publish a better report.

Provision of Information via Website

Mabuchi Motor is providing our environmental information on the website to communicate it to stakeholders outside the company.
We are constantly updating the information on the environmental-compliance of products in particular.

Environmental Communication with Local Communities

We are receiving a range of messages such as inquiries about our environmental activities and requests to visit our environmentally friendly facilities, from environmental activity groups and public citizens in areas where our companies are located, and we are responding to them actively.
