Helping to Build Social InfrastructureToshiba Plant Systems & Services Corporation
(the “Company”) group comprises the Power Systems Div is ion , which engages in the eng ineer ing , const ruct ion , tes t ing , and maintenance of thermal, hydroelectric and n u c l e a r p o w e r p l a n t s , a s w e l l a s t h e Infrastructure and Industrial Systems Division, which handles engineering and construction for social infrastructure such as water and sewage systems, transportation systems, factories, and solar power stat ions, as well as general industrial facilities. Based on a commitment to
“security and safety,” the group companies contribute to the building of important social infrastructure.
In December 2015, the Paris Agreement was adopted at COP21, the 21st meeting of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) held in Paris. As a long-term goal shared by countries around the world, this agreement aims to achieve net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases by the second half of this century. Looking at the business activities of the Company group (the “Group”), in recent years the Group has handled a large number of projects for power stations which ut i l ize renewable energy, such as solar ,
our standards of conduct: Toshiba Plant Systems & Services Corporation places top priority on life, safety and law compliance. At the same time, we will work to build bonds of trust with society, including our customers and shareholders.
In May 2016, in order to attract talented people as a part of realizing the management v i s ion o f be ing “an exce l lent company continuing profitable and sustainable growth,” we added the concept of comprehensive capabilities, which represent our strong point, as a combination of workplace capabilities and human capabilities = “engineering capability” to the “Careers” page of the corporate website. This was part of an effort to reach out to students.
Working with Stakeholders to be a “Corporate Citizen of the Earth”
The Group’s business activit ies have a different level and scope of impact on each of our stakeholders, including our shareholders and other investors, customers, suppliers, local communities, government institutions, as well as our employees and their family members. The Group is proactively promoting CSR management in order to provide “security and
hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass power.Considering global initiatives to combat warming will be stepped up going forward, the Group’s role in these efforts will likely become even more important.
Reviewing CSR Promotion FrameworkI view financial soundness and CSR as the
wheels of corporate management, and believe that both must a lways be pursued in a balanced manner.
The Company’s earnings have been growing steadily. In FY2014, consolidated net sales surpassed ¥200 billion, as the overall group continues to grow sustainably. On the other hand, in order to more clearly present our t h o u g h t s r e g a r d i n g C S R , i n 2 0 1 5 w e systematically reviewed and organized our CSR philosophy and initiatives.
For s tar ters , we estab l i shed our own “Commitment , Management Vis ion , and Standards of Conduct” (refer to Page 1 for details) based on the “Basic Commitment of the Toshiba Group.” The Group is not a pure manufacturing business group. The Group’s main business involves plant engineering to deliver plants that resolve the wide-ranging needs of customers. The above document suits this reality. Our business activities are based on
safety,” and continue to contribute to the advancement of society as a “Corporate C i t i z e n o f t h e E a r t h ” t r u s t e d b y a l l stakeholders.
T o e m p h a s i z e c o m m u n i c a t i o n w i t h stakeholders, the Group continually works to ensure health and safety, quality management and the disclosure of timely and accurate information. In addition, the Group promotes environmental preservation measures and engages in social contribution activities aimed at cont r ibu t ing to sound and sus ta inab le development in key countries and regions in which the Group engages in business.
Also, with the aim of ensuring management soundness and transparency to increase management efficiency and maximize corporate value, the Company established and disclosed clear principles addressing all 73 principles stipulated in the Corporate Governance Code formulated by the Financial Services Agency and the Tokyo Stock Exchange in June 2015.
The Group will continue to maintain and enhance i t s opera t ing per fo rmance by proactively promoting CSR management, and steadily pursue a path towards further growth.
We look forward to your continued support.

The Company’s Priorities
Through our business activities, we reward the trust of our customers and contribute to the advancement of society. In addition, based on our respect for people, “Valuing People,” we devote maximum effort to ensure the health and safety of all people involved in our business activities and promote health and safety management programs. This includes our employees, as well as the people of our affiliates and partner companies.
We proactively implement health and safety management programs, and promote “safety activities” with a goal of zero workplace accidents. In order to enhance safety management function, we have established a health and safety management framework in accordance with our “Basic Health and Safety Policy.” We have also established an occupational health and safety management systems and strive to promote health and safety programs.
Health and Safety Initiatives
Basic Health and Safety Policy
Health and Safety GoalsHealth Goal: Zero health impairments(1) Promotion of mental healthcare(2) Prevention of health impairments
caused by overwork(3) Improvement in health concern
detection rate in regular health checks(4) Creation of comfortable workplace environments
Safety Goal: Zero workplace accidents(1) Firm establishment of basic work operations and actions(2) Continual improvement of occupational health
and safety management systems(3) Enhancement of health and safety education(4) Promotion of voluntary activities by affiliates
and partner companies
Basic work operations and actionsAll members of the Group will return to the starting point of safety, and aim for “zero
workplace accidents” by firmly establishing the Basic Work Operations and Actions.To this end, we will incorporate the “expansion of risk assessment
(preparation through clean-up)” into daily TBM/KY activities* and continually improve occupational health and safety management systems.
Mental healthcare promotionWe aim for managers and employees to
have “zero health impairments” by energizing workplace communication, promoting mental healthcare, and working to create comfortable and low-stress work environments
Example of Health and Safety Initiative (2) Safety Environment Competition
[Aim] In order to raise awareness of the health, safety, and the environment, and ensure proactive promotion of activities, the Group as a whole, including partner companies, holds a “Safety Environment Competition” each July.
[Details] 1. Reports on examples of safety and environmental management
2. Safety achievement award presentation 3. Environmental achievement award presentation
*TBM: Tool Box Meeting. A safety meeting held at worksites prior to performing work. It is called this because workers gather near the tool box and have a discussion led by the supervisor.
KY (abbreviation of the Japanese phrase kiken yochi ): Small group activity aimed at preventing accidents by having individual work groups grasp the current work conditions to predict the inherent potential risks, establish countermeasures and action goals prior to performing work.
Example of Health and Safety Initiative (1) Safety sensory education
[Aim] To remind employees of the importance of the basic actions and work operations for safety, this training provides a virtual experience of dangers under conditions approximating a real worksite environment, and allows employees to feel how scary an accident or disaster is.
[Number of Times Held] Since the first being held in June 2007, the event has already been held more than 100 times at worksites both in Japan and overseas.
[Example of Activities] To get a hands-on understanding of the effectiveness of full-body harness safety belt* used overseas, employees learn the difference in the effectiveness between correctly and incorrectly wearing the device by wearing one both correctly and then incorrectly (leg portion of belt left unfastened) while being actually suspended.
Pulled up without wearing the belt for the legs (before being pulled up)
Pulled up while correctly wearing the full-body harness safety belt (feeling a real weight)
▶Worn incorrectly ▶Worn correctly
While being pulled up, the person slips out of the safety belt and falls
IncorporationCompliance check
1. We have integrated our occupational health and safety management systems into our operations and construction work management frameworks, and all employees follow it.
2. We strive to create safe and comfortable workplace environments and raise our level of health and safety based on the cooperation of all people involved in our business activities.
3. In addition to increasing the essential safety of our facilities and the equipment we use, we aim for a thorough safety management framework in accordance with our health and safety plan which details the response to emergencies as well as reduces the potential risk of workplace accidents and harmful factors. With this, we ensure safe conditions and safe actions, and have set a target of zero accidents/disasters as our goal for occupational safety.
4. We eliminate factors that undermine health, proactively create bright and comfortable workplaces, and proactively implement programs that support health and provide health guidance etc., thereby promoting both physical and emotional health.
5. Promoting uniform health and safety activities across the entire Group, we inform all employees, affiliates and partner companies about Basic Health and Safety Policy as well as health- and safety-related laws and regulations, rules, and standards by holding education and drills, and other such activities to increase awareness.

Communication with Stakeholders
We strive to build strong relationships of trust with shareholders, investors, customers and other stakeholders, and to increase corporate value.
Together with Shareholders and Investors
Information disclosure is an important management priority, and we recognize it is essential to appropriately disclose information in order to obtain our stakeholders’ understanding.
To put this in practice, we quickly carry out
timely disclosure in accordance with laws and regulations etc., in addition to voluntarily disclosing information (including non-financial information) determined to be important for shareholders and other stakeholders.
Policy on Disclosure of IR Information
We recognize that proactively engaging in dialogue with our shareholders to listen to their opinions and requests, and reflecting such feedback into management, are important responsibilities in order to achieve sustainable growth and to increase corporate value over the medium to long term.
To this end, we have established an IR framework centered on the director responsible for IR. We generally hold financial results meetings for shareholders and investors twice a year, as well as proactively hold IR meetings and other events based on requests from shareholders and institutional investors, and strive to disclose information in a timely and appropriate manner to a reasonable extent, while keeping in mind principles such as shareholder equality and insider information handling etc.
As necessary, the director responsible for IR provides feedback about the outline of such information and shares information with other directors and relevant departments through meetings, reports, and other means.
Dialogue with Shareholders and Investors
The Company works to return profits with the target of a consolidated dividend payout ratio of approximately 30%, while considering the optimal balance between increasing corporate value through medium- to long-term growth and the return of profits.
Also, the Company effectively uses internal reserves to bolster its financial position, to prepare for future business development, and to flexibly respond to changes in the business environment as well as other developments.
Taking changes in the business environment, the company’s financial condition, and other factors into consideration, the Company considers carrying out share buybacks as a way of raising capital efficiency and returning profits to shareholders.
Basic Policy on the Profit Allocation
We hold a firm belief that materials procured should be of superior quality and safety to meet each of our clients' needs. Our unique Standard of Conduct and Toshiba Group Procurement Policy govern and ensure that our sourcing, contracting and purchasing activities are ethical, efficient and accountable while compliance
to laws and regulations is met and all efforts are made to preserve the environment. We seek a wide range of partnerships with like-minded companies who share with us the same corporate values of fairness, openness, and building long trusting relationships, as we believe that together we can prosper.
Procurement Policy
We provide fair business opportunities to suppliers, and prioritize doing business with companies that comply with relevant laws, take the environment into consideration, and have excellent technology and quality.

“Feedback meetings” that build relationships of trust between superiors and employees that report to them.The Company conducts personnel evaluations with the aim of fairly and impartially
treating employees based on current market valuations in accordance with assessment factors. As a part of feedback through interviews between superiors and employees reporting to them, assessments of performance, abilities, and attitude are explained. In addition to increasing transparency and understanding, this leads to employees having motivation to use in their future work and to personnel training.
Training systemWe develop employees by effectively
c o m b i n i n g O J T , O F F - J T , a n d s e l f -development systematically.◦OJT
The aim of OJT is to systematically increase one’s abilities by acquiring the necessary knowledge, technical skills and business skills through work.◦OFF-JT
Systematic and specialized training away from the workplace, including rank-based training, global training, specialized skill training, and training to acquire public certification, aimed at giving employees knowledge, technical skills and business skills commonly required to carry out business.◦Self-development
We offer opportunities for personnel to improve their qualifications and abilities. Such opportunities include voluntary long-distance education and “family training” which promotes mutual self-improvement among workplace units.
We help employees balance their work and personal lives in order to achieve profitable and sustainable growth for the company and to help employees live fulfilling lives.
Helping employees balance work, childcare and family careTo help employees raise their children, we have put in place systems that
go beyond what is legally required. In addition, we have prepared a leaflet containing information on the company’s various benefits and programs as well as public benefits related to giving birth and raising children. The contents are posted on the Company intranet for employees to view anytime.
In FY2005, we established an action plan based on the “Act on
Advancement of Measures to Support Raising Next-Generation Children,” and acquired the next-generation authorization mark “Kurumin”* in April 2007. We are currently, advancing the initiatives of the 4th Period Action Plan.
In addition, the company supports employees to balance work and family care.
*Kurumin: A symbol indicating that a company has been recognized by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare as a company that supports childcare.
We have put in place a “Career Design System” which aims to train and utilize personnel from a medium- to long-term perspective. Superiors and the employees that report to them cultivate communication through interviews and the company’s operating performance is aided by superiors helping employees advance their careers while checking on the direction of their employees’ development and utilization.
We view diverse personnel and working styles positively, and work on a global basis to create work environments that lead to imagination and competitiveness for our businesses. Our personnel are our greatest management resource, and are the source of our competitiveness as a company. We believe that getting the most out of the abilities and unique strengths of each of our valuable employees and continually energizing them will lead to continual growth for the company.

Re-hiring SystemTo support our business plans, it is essential to pass skills down from one generation to the next and to allow experienced employees to contribute. We have established the Toshiba
Plant Systems & Services Group Re-hiring System, which provides a framework for our employees to continue to work enthusiastically on the front lines of business after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 60, and incorporates incentive structures for employees. Employees wishing to do so may renew their employment up until the age of 65.
Promoting Women in the WorkplaceThe company’s ratio of female employees is 6.2% (as of March 31, 2016). Although this ratio is low,
female employees are working in a wide range of fields, including technical, sales, and administrative positions. In addition, in order to increase the number of female workers in leadership roles, we have been enhancing training programs, increasing the retention rate (the average number of continuous years of employment by female employees is 17.9 years as of March 31, 2016) through our initiatives to support childcare and family care, and the Company is hiring more women.
Supporting diverse working styles
Promoting Work-Life Balance
Preventing lifestyle-related diseases (health guidance, specified health guidance)Based on the results of regular health checks, we provide health guidance and specified health guidance for employees aged 40 and
above. Employees keep track of the values that have been identified as problematic, and set improvement targets for lifestyle habits and write up detailed action plans. A nurse provides ongoing support to help employees achieve their targets in 6 months.

Mental HealthcareOur support for employees includes conducting legally-required stress checks
once a year to encourage awareness of stress among employees. In addition, we offer self-care training as a part of rank-based training, and provide opportunities for employees to learn ways to handle stress.
In addition, we conduct line care training through managerial training and other initiatives. This helps managers become aware of employee’s needs and develops their listening skills. We also foster lively workplace communication among our people by encouraging them to call out and greet one another.
Initiatives through the Hatsuratsu Work-Life LevelThe outcome of initiatives to reduce the total number of hours

Social Contribution Activities
Basic Policy for Social Contribution Activities
As a company that handles social infrastructure, we contribute to sound and continued development in the main countries and territories in which we operate, based on the Toshiba Plant Systems & Services Corporation’s Standards of Conduct.
In Japan, we support activities related to restoring and preserving cultural assets in order to pass ancient Japanese culture along to future generations. Overseas, we provide ongoing support for activities related to improve social infrastructure and developing future generations (construction of schools, etc.).
Also, as a good corporate citizen, we value communication with local communities and promote social contribution activities.
Activity Concepts
1. Assistance for efforts to pass down Japanese culture and techniques In order to pass ancient Japanese culture and Japan’s wonderful traditions down
to future generations, we support efforts to restore and preserve cultural properties, and help pass down restoration techniques and skills.
2. Assistance for activities to improve social infrastructure In addition to improving social infrastructure through our business activities, we
contribute to development of local communities by supporting programs to upgrade infrastructure in inadequate condition.
3. Assistance for activities to develop future generation We support the construction of schools and other educational facilities that
provide learning opportunities to children that will build our future society.
4. Promotion of activities rooted in local communities We value communication with people in local communities in which we operate,
and continually engage in programs that contribute to local communities.
Assistance in restoration and preservation of domestic cultural propertiesAs a part of our efforts to support programs that restore and preserve precious Japanese
cultural properties in order to pass them along to future generations, we have been assisting with the “project to restore and preserve cultural properties in Imperial Convents”*1 since FY2010. This project is to preserve the paintings, sculptures, craft works, textiles, and historic structures owned by existing Imperial Convents*2, in order to hand them down to posterity.
Just as the work of the Company requires systematic inspection and repair of equipment involving social infrastructures, these restoration and conservation projects require persistent effort over a long time. Despite its being a totally different field, the restoration work shares many aspects with our business. Thus the Company continues to support this project.
*1 Project to restore and preserve cultural properties in Imperial Convents: This project is sponsored by the Medieval Japanese Studies Institute, and we provide support through the Foundation for Cultural Heritage and Art Research.
*2 Imperial Convents are those where the Buddhist nuns previously came from Imperial, court, and samurai lineage. A dozen Imperial Buddhist convents are still active in Kyoto and Nara.
Assistance for Efforts to Pass Down Japanese Culture and TechniquesStatus of conservation project of statues at Shinnyoji
Shinnyoji was built in 1342. It is the temple where Hōkyōji Abbess are buried. Shinnyoji is one of three branch temples*3 associated with Shōkokuji, the others being Rokuonji (Kinkakuji) and Jishōji (Ginkakuji). It is a venerable temple and also ranked as one of the ten second-tier (jissetsu) Rinzai Zen temples in Kyoto. The statues of nuns at Hōkyōji Imperial Convent housed in Shinnyoji are extremely rare portrait sculptures. In order to pass these valuable cultural properties on to future generations, following the statue of Hongakuin no Miya, currently work is being done to restore the statue of Kotokuin no Miya, centered on the overall statue, its coloring, and exfoliation.
*3 Branch temple (sangai tacchu) : A small temple was built near the graveyard of the high priest of the large temples in order to protect it, and called a mortuary temple (tacchu) . There are three mortuary temples outside the grounds (sangai) of Shōkokuji.

We thoroughly comply with all laws and regulations, social norms, ethics, and internal rules, and strive to improve management efficiency and ensure management transparency.
In addition, we ensure strong compliance with our Commitment, our Management Vision, and the “Toshiba Plant Systems & Services Corporation’s Standards of Conduct,” which is the Company’s original code of conduct. As a corporate citizen of the Earth that values the environment, human rights, and harmony with local communities, we aim to realize sound and high-quality management.
Furthermore, each year we determine priority measures in our risk and compliance management measures while taking into consideration current changes in the business environment. By pursuing these measures that are common to the whole company, we strive to enhance compliance.
As part of our proactive effort to prevent compliance violations and to limit risk, we have established a “Risk Hotline” as well as a “Board of Statutory Auditors Hotline.” These measures allow the Company to directly obtain information on risk internally.
Furthermore, in either system, we make sure that people who provide information on risks are not subject to unfair treatment on the grounds that they provided such information.
3. Nomination and Compensation CommitteeThe Nomination and Compensation Committee, comprised of two Outside
Directors and four Directors appointed by the resolution of the Board of Directors, has been established as a voluntary advisory body to the Board of Directors. This Committee ensures a framework whereby Outside Directors are able to be appropriately involved in, and provide advice with respect to matters such as the nomination of officers, as well as Directors’ compensation.
4. Board of Statutory AuditorsIn accordance with the “Board of Statutory Auditors’ Rules,” the Board of
Statutory Auditors generally holds meetings once a month. At these meetings, the Statutory Auditors exchange opinions and share information with one another. In addition, reports about auditing matters, etc. are received from each Statutory Auditor, and the matters are deliberated and decided upon.
As an independent organization, in accordance with the auditing standards for Statutory Auditors, audit policy, annual audit plan, etc. decided by the Board of Statutory Auditors, each Statutory Auditor strives to deepen his/her understanding of business and proactively collect information, and through the investigation of management conditions and financial conditions, fairly and effectively audit the execution of business by Directors. In addition, the Statutory Auditors work closely with the Auditing Division and other divisions, request advice from attorneys and other outside experts as necessary, and otherwise strive to bolster the function of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
In addition, we have established a framework so Statutory Auditors accurately and in a timely manner understand the important decision-making process and the status of business execution, and are able to offer advice and express their opinions as necessary. This includes providing Statutory Auditors with the opportunity to attend Board of Directors meetings, Management Meetings, and other important meetings, in addition to regularly providing opportunities for Statutory Auditors to meet and discuss matters with the President and Chief Executive Officer (Representative Director).
5. Auditing DivisionThe Auditing Division was established as an organization responsible for the
internal audit function. Based on the plan for the fiscal year, the Auditing Division audits the business activities, accounting and systems of the Company’s various divisions and of group companies.
The Auditing Division studies and evaluates the effectiveness of compliance, risk management and governance processes of each division, and the status of management activities impartially and from an independent position, from the standpoint of legality, rationality, and efficiency. The Auditing Division possesses the audit function to provide opinions, advice, and recommendations aimed at making improvements, and works closely with the Statutory Auditors and others with respect to the overall audit process and shares information related to audits.
6. Accounting AuditorPricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata LLC, the Accounting Auditor, performs
