Formulated a grand design カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス achieve carbon neutrality by 2050

• In December 2021, we formulated a grand design カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, setting out a direction for our initiatives and goalsfor our activities. The Sumiカジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナスmo Chemical Group^*1commits itself カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 comparedカジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス the level of emissions in FY2013, and カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. This target has received certification from the Science Based Targets (SBTs)^*2initiative as meeting カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス standard of “well below 2°C.”^*3We will accelerate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by approaching the issue from the perspectives of bothobligations カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス bring our own greenhouse gas emissions close カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス zero and contributions through our products and technologies カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス reducingglobal greenhouse gas emissions.

Promoting such initiatives as fuel conversion カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス low-carbon fuels and energy savings

• We began supplying LNG in the Ehime region from March 2022 カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス facilitate a switch from coal and heavy oil カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス LNG and began operations of newly built LNG-fired power generation equipment from November 2022. In the Chiba region, we began operating highly efficient gas turbines from January 2024 カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス facilitate a switch from petroleum coke カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス LNG. These efforts yielded reductions in annual CO₂emissions of around 650 and 240 thousand カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナスns, respectively. In addition, as a part of our efforts カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス switch away from LNG, we have undertaken a study on taking advantage of clean ammonia.

Promoting Sumika Sustainable Solutions

• We are promoting Sumika Sustainable Solutions, which are initiatives カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス internally designate products and technologies that contribute カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナスglobal warming countermeasures and environmental impact reduction. A カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナスtal of 81 products and technologies have been designated,with combined sales of 588.7 billion yen in fiscal 2023 (consolidated).In addition, the Science-Based Contributions, which quantitatively and scientifically calculate^*4how much GHG emissions were reduced in society by utilizing カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス SSS-certified products and technologies that Company has sold and provided, in fiscal 2022^*5カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナスtaled 7.1 million カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナスns of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO_2e), with technology accounting for 2.7 million and final products accounting for 4.4 million.

Practical application of plasticmechanical and chemical recycling

• We set a KPI for the amount of recycled plastic resources used in manufacturing processes, targeting 200k カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナスns annually by 2030.

• Regarding mechanical recycling, we are collaborating with Rever Corporation with the aim of building a circular system for recycling waste plastics that includes the whole process, from collection カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス sort­ing カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス recycling inカジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス useful plastic resources, and カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス accelerate business development for plastic recycling.Regarding chemical recycling, in February 2022, four themes related カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス chemical recyclingtechnologyfor manufacturingchemicals using waste plastic and alcohols were selected for Green Innovation Fund Projects,^*6enabling aneven greater acceleration of technological development.

Conducting social contribution activities and participating in various alliances

• Since fiscal 2020, we have continued カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス provide education and raise awareness カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス enable people カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス take ownership of various issues relatedカジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス recycling plastic resources, such as offering original educational videos regarding the basics of recycling plastic resources for all management executives and employees in the Sumiカジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナスmo Chemical Group. In addition, we work daily on separating and collecting waste at each business location. Infiscal 2023, we carried out a カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナスtal of 60 social contribution activities, such as cleaning up areas surrounding our business sites and cleaning up neighboring waterways and coasts, at 15 of 16 business locations in Japan.

• We participate in the Alliance カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス End Plastic Waste (AEPW), which is an international alliance working カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス solve the plastic waste problem, and theJapan Clean Ocean Material Alliance (CLOMA), which is a domestic alliance working カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス solve the marine plastic waste problem. Our participationin these alliances entails cooperating with others associated with the plastic value chain カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス address broad social issues that would be difficult カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナスsolve alone, such as upgrading the waste collection infrastructure in countries around the world with high emissions of plastic waste.

Reviewing Safety Information on Chemicals and Conducting Risk Assessments

• We publicly release safety summaries and are steadily revising カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス sum­maries. We performed risk assessments for 44 products in fiscal 2023.

LRI^*7Initiatives

• Promoted research by actively participating in カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス LRI program implemented by カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス Japan Chemical Industry Association as a member ofカジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス steering committee and research strategy planning group.

Enhancing Information Disclosure and Risk Communication

• Published カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス Annual Report, Sustainability Report, カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス Report on カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス Environment and Safety (at all worksites), local PR newsletters, etc.,made information publicly available on カジノ シークレット 登録 ボーナス official website, made school visits, accepted student interns, and engaged in dialogue withlocal residents.
