PresidentandChiefExecutiveOfficer,RepresentativeDirector
I became President and Chief Executive Officer on June 22, 2017.Over the years, I was primarily working on the construction of thermal power plants, which are an important part of the social infrastructure. Even after taking office, I will make use of this experience and strive to help create a sustainable society with employees and other stakeholders through the business of social infrastructure that supports people’s lives. I look forward to your continued support.
The management vision of Toshiba Plant Systems & Serv ices Corporat ion (the
“Company”) and its group companies (collectively, the “Group”) is to be “an excellent company that continues profitable and sustainable growth.” In our capitalist society, “profitable and sustainable growth” is necessary for a company to survive, but at the same time, I think the most important factor behind this is for a company, as a member of society, to contribute to a
“sustainable society.” Our philosophy is that in order to continue profitable and susta inable growth as s tated in our management vision, pursuing profits based on management that balances financial performance and CSR, and sustaining group growth, will ultimately allow us to be an excellent company.
In FY2016, the Group’s consolidated net sales and ordinary income increased compared to the previous fiscal year. In fact, we have been continuing to grow
ASustainableCompanySupportingaSustainableSociety
sustainably, with year-on-year earnings growth, since 2004, when Toshiba Plant Systems & Serv ices Corporat ion was established in conjunction with the merger of Toshiba Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd. and Toshiba Engineering Corp. Going forward, we would like to continue to make steady progress towards reaching our FY2019 goals of net sales of ¥260 billion and ordinary income of ¥22 billion as set f o r t h i n t h e F Y 2 0 1 7 M e d i u m - T e r m Management Plan.
U n d e r t h e F Y 2 0 1 7 M e d i u m - T e r m Management Plan, we will continue to p u r s u e i n n o v a t i o n t h r o u g h B C M * management across all group companies and all divisions. BCM management refers to balancing the pursuit of profits with consideration of social issues, based on the four perspectives of “finances,” “society and cus tomers ,” “work p rocesses ,” and
“ lea r n i n g and g rowth .” Unde r t h i s
DevelopingGroup-wideBCMManagement
management approach, we are not only focusing on pursuing profits, but are also conscious of our CSR activities. The Group’s business activities have a different level and s c o p e o f i m p a c t o n e a c h o f o u r stakeholders, including shareholders and other investors, customers, suppliers, people in local communities, government, as well as our employees and their family members. We will continue to practice balanced management that is trusted by all of our stakeholders.
S ince FY2015, the Group has been revising the CSR promotion framework. Based on the “Basic Commitment of the Toshiba Group,” we formulated our own
“Commitment,” “Management Vision,” and “Standards of Conduct,” and in 2016 we published our first CSR Report. In CSR Report 2017, viewing the international standard ISO 26000 “Guidance on social responsibility” as a guideline suitable for
WorkingonNewCSRIssues
systematically reporting the Group’s CSR activities, we have prepared the report with a focus on the seven core subjects included in the standard, thereby enhancing the content of the report and making it more reader-friendly. In addition, we actively disseminate information by introducing our businesses in as much detail as possible on our website, and by providing disclosure according to the 73 principles of the Corporate Governance Code.
G o i n g f o r w a r d , w h i l e v a l u i n g communication with all of our stakeholders, we will continue to focus on the three key points of “integrity,” “accountability,” and
“transparency” for the company and managers alike. I hope that you will look forward to Toshiba Plant Systems & Services Corporation’s evolving CSR management.

Starting with the “Toshiba Plant Systems & Services Corporation’s Standards of Conduct,” which is the Company’s original code of conduct, we have established a compliance system through the establishment of various rules. The basic objective of our corporate governance is to ensure management soundness and transparency, to increase management efficiency, and to maximize corporate value.
We have striven to further strengthen and enhance our corporate governance, and have positioned the building of good relationships of trust with stakeholders such as shareholders,
investors and customers as an important management policy.In addition, based on the purpose and spirit of the “Corporate
Governance Code” established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Company aims to realize sustainable growth and medium- to long-term corporate value improvement, and in order to clarify the basic philosophy and initiatives of the Company with respect to corporate governance, we have established “Our Efforts Related to the Corporate Governance Code” as policies corresponding to all 73 principles, the full text of which is disclosed on the Company’s website.
Corporate Governance Policy
Corporate Governance SystemThe Company is a company with Board of Statutory Auditors. The Company has
ten Directors (including two Outside Directors) and four Statutory Auditors (including two Outside Statutory Auditors). Through their efforts, the Company is working to strengthen and enhance its corporate governance system, and is aiming to boost management efficiency and ensure transparency.
1.BoardofDirectorsThe Board of Directors generally holds meetings once a month in order to
ensure that Directors are efficiently executing their duties.As the highest management decision-making body, the Board of Directors
discusses and makes decisions on matters stipulated in laws and regulations and the Articles of Incorporation, as well as other important management matters. In addition, the Board of Directors receives reports in a timely and appropriate manner from each Director regarding the status of operations, and effectively and efficiently monitors and supervises the suitability and rationality of operations.
Moreover, the Executive Officer System has been introduced to quickly respond to rapid changes in the business environment as well as competition with other companies by separating the business execution function from the management decision-making and supervising functions.
2.ManagementMeetingThe Management Meeting is generally held once a week in order to ensure
quick decision-making and efficient operations.At the Management Meeting, management policies and important business
execution related to management strategies, etc., are discussed and decisions are made.
3.NominationandCompensationCommitteeThe 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.BoardofStatutoryAuditorsIn 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 that 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.AuditingDivisionThe Auditing Division was established as an organization responsible for the

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.
Policy and Structure of Risk Management and 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.
Whistleblower System
In format ion d isc losure i s 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 voluntari ly disclosing information (including non-financial information) determined to be important for shareholders and other stakeholders.
Policy on Disclosure of IR Information
TogetherwithShareholdersandInvestors
We recognize that proactively engaging in dialogue with our shareholders to listen to their opinions and requests , and re f lec t ing such feedback in to 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 prov ides feedback about the out l ine of such information and shares information with other directors and relevant divisions 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 pos i t ion , to prepare for fu ture bus iness 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 considerat ion, the Company considers carrying out share buybacks as a way of raising capital efficiency and returning profits to shareholders.

UsingmyexperienceasanattorneytofulfillmydutyasanOutsideDirectorSince 2015, the Company has been reviewing its CSR philosophy and initiatives. I became an Outside
Director in 2015, and I have observed the strong leadership of the management team and the status of internal initiatives. I feel that the Company’s governance and compliance structures have been significantly bolstered over the past two years.
For starters, the Company increased the number of Outside Directors to two from one, adding Mr. Yoshikazu Yokoyama, who possesses a high level of expertise as a certified public accountant, as an Outside Director. By taking advantage of each other’s backgrounds, and having multiple Outside Directors express their opinions from different perspectives, the Company has been able to achieve a balanced checks and balances function. In addition, the Company has established the Nomination and Compensation Committee, and I was appointed as chairperson. As the chairperson, I will focus on putting in place a framework for the nomination of officers and for director compensation, and design systems that are consistent with the actual circumstances of the Company.
Under the FY2017 Medium-Term Management Plan, the Company is promoting CSR-oriented management as one of the key measures to realize the management vision of being “An excellent company that continues profitable and sustainable growth.” As a lawyer, I will continue to provide assistance to the management team, especially in the areas of compliance and risk management.
I think that we are a company that possesses global technology as well as ambitious and respectable personnel. I expect that the Company will continue to develop as a corporate group capable of creating new value needed by society by harnessing its on-site capabilities and human capabilities.

HealthandSafetyInitiatives
Basic Health and Safety PolicyThrough 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.
ExampleofHealthandSafetyInitiative

Safety Environment Competition in FY2016
In order to raise awareness of the health, safety, and the environment, and ensure proactive promotion of environmental activities, the Group as a whole, including partner companies, holds a “Safety Environment Competition” each July. In FY2016, the event was held on July 13, and began with reports on examples of safety and environmental management, and included presentation of the “Safety achievement award” and the “Environmental achievement award.”
Human Rights Enlightenment (Education)
In order to ensure that employees have a correct understanding of human rights, and are fully aware of them, we continuously provide education on human rights, including during new employee training, rank-based training when people are promoted, and other occasions.
Human Rights LectureEach December, as one of the events held
during human rights week, an outside lecturer is invited to give a “human rights lecture” in order to raise employee awareness about human rights issues. The theme of the lecture is different each year. Topics of past lectures have included approaches to creating comfortable workplaces and measures to prevent harassment.
Employment of People with Disabilities
Based on the philosophy of normalization, the Company actively employs people with disabilities, and supports them to thrive in the workplace. Its ratio of employees with disabilities was 2.06% as of March 31, 2017, and the Company has received approval to calculate this ratio on a group-wide basis as an exception since FY2014.
Establishment of Consulting Service on Human Rights
The Company established a consultation service on human rights such as sexual harassment and power harassment, and is promoting the creation of an environment where each employee can work with peace of mind. Both the Administration & Human Resources Division and the labor union have consultation desks, making it easy for employees to receive support. Issues brought to the Company’s attention are addressed quickly, and the privacy of people who seek consultation is protected.

“Safety sensory education” is aimed at reminding employees of the importance of the basic actions and work operations for safety by providing a virtual experience of dangers under conditions approximating a real worksite environment while allowing employees to feel how scary an accident or disaster is. The main curriculum includes experiencing a variety of situations related to potential dangers during regular work, including the impact from falling into a safety net, pinched fingers, hanging from a belt-type safety harness, and electric shock. Since the first being held in June 2007, “Safety sensory education” has already been held more than 150 times at worksites both in Japan and overseas.

Health and Safety Goals
◦BasicworkoperationsandactionsAll 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 risk assessment results into work instructions and manuals, and use them in TBM/KY activities* attended by all employees, thereby continuously improving occupational health and safety management systems.
◦MentalhealthcarepromotionWe aim for managers and employees to
have “zero hea l th impa i rments” by energizing workplace communication, promoting mental healthcare, and working to create comfortable and low-stress work environments.
*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.
TogetherwithEmployees
Four Areas of EmphasisWe view diverse personnel and working styles
positively, and work on a global basis to create work environments that lead to imagination and compet i t iveness for our bus inesses . 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.
Therefore, we set the four areas of emphasis of “Personnel training and utilization,” “Supporting diverse working styles,” “Promoting work-life balance,” and “Creating healthy and safe workplaces.”
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.
◦“Feedbackmeetings”thatbuildrelationshipsof trustbetweensuperiorsandemployeesthatreporttothemThe 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.
◦TrainingsystemWe develop employees by effectively combining OJT, OFF-JT,
and self-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
The aim of OFF-JT is to provide 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 opportunit ies 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.
SafetyGoal:Zero workplace accidents(1) Firm establishment of basic work operations and actions(2) Reconfirm the rules for health and safety(3) Continual improvement of occupational
health and safety management systems(4) Enhancement of health and safety education
HealthGoal: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

<Voice>Myparticipationin“Safetysensoryeducation”
◦ I f I go to t he s i t e a s a supervisor, I need to protect b o t h m y s e l f a n d o t h e r workers from dangers and accidents. After participating in the sensory education, I realized the importance of all workers taking responsibility for the safety of one another.
◦ Human errors can occur anywhere. I learned that, for this reason, no matter what kind of work is being done, everyone at the worksite
must work with a shared awareness of safety. I feel that sharing safety awareness is very important, as only a little bit of neglect can lead to a major accident.
◦ I had thought that everyone had a strong awareness of safety, but after attending the sensory education, I realized that your sa fe ty i s on ly ensured if all workers are careful about safety. Once you experience danger in a
hands-on manner, it remains as a memory and as an experience, so I will make great use of it going forward.
■Voiceofnewemployees◦ I felt that it is important to
act while also conjecturing what kind of things would lead to accidents as I work. I wi l l a lways th ink about potential risks and act based on my predictions of risk.
◦ Since the damage of the a c c i d e n t t h a t a c t u a l l y occurred at the worksite w a s f a r b e y o n d o u r imagination, I will make sure to work with a complete understanding of risks.

◦Re-hiringsystemTo support business plans, it is essential to pass skills down from

We have established 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 the Toshiba Plant Systems & Services Group Re-hiring System which incorporates incentive structures for employees to be active on the front lines at worksites. Employees wishing to do so may renew their employment up until the age of 65.

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.

<Voice>~Usingthechildcareleavesystemandshortenedworkinghourstoprovidechildcare~
I have two children, and I have used the childcare leave system twice now, taking a total of roughly three years of childcare leave. Fortunately, since there were several senior colleagues in the same department who had already returned to work after using this system, I was able to receive some good advice from them. For example, they recommended that I take longer breaks by combining days off with my paid vacation days.
My children are still young, and both of them are in a nursery school close to our home. These days, I use the shortened working hours to provide childcare to leave work early and pick them up. The shortened working hours system provided for in the Child Care and Family Care Leave Act covers up the period up until a child enters elementary school, but the Company has extended the system through the graduation from elementary school, which will be a big help to me. Some of the other parents I have met at the nursery school are only able to work shortened hours for only a few years, and some are even thinking about finding a new job for that reason. I am also able to use the flex-time system, and I am appreciative of the fact that I can set my work schedule precisely in 15 minute increments based on my own judgment. Going forward, I would like for the systems to be expanded even further to give those employees who will have children even more peace of mind.

◦Preventing lifestyle-relateddiseases (healthguidance,specifiedhealthguidance)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.
◦MentalhealthcareOur 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 through 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.

Although the definition of small hydroelectric power generation is not uniform among all countries, in Japan’s electric power industry, hydroelectric power that generates under 10,000 kW has been regarded as small hydroelectric power. Small hydroelectric power generation methods include “run-of-river type” and
“conduit type.” Unlike dams and other “reservoir type” methods, these power generation methods use the energy of the water flow directly without storing river water. These are eco-friendly power generation facilities that often effectively use existing energy such as general rivers, agricultural waterways, sabo dams, and water and sewerage systems, and do not require large-scale preparatory construction work.
◦ExamplesofconstructionsoverseasDemand for “run-of-river-type” small hydroelectric power generation using valuable water resources to
produce electricity, is rising, especially in South Asia, and the Group, including local subsidiaries, will continue to focus on increasing orders for eco-friendly small hydroelectric power generation facilities.

Various training programs related to compliance during procurement are provided to officers to ensure fair trading practices. In order to ensure compliance and fair transactions, we established a whistleblower system for our suppliers called Clean Partner Line, in January 2007. If any violation of the law and
regulations should arise during business transactions, our suppliers notify us. We establish more transparent relationships of mutual trust with the suppliers, and develop sound partnerships with the suppliers.
Establishment of Whistleblower System (Clean Partner Line)
In addition to complying with the Patent Act, the Copyright Act, and other laws and regulations related to intellectual property rights, as well as respecting the legitimate intellectual property rights of third parties, we use intellectual property rights to protect
the outcomes of our technological activities, and contribute to society by actively utilizing these intellectual property rights in our businesses.
Philosophy on Intellectual Property
The basic policy for internal controls stipulates that officers and employees of the Group shall reject any relationships with anti-social forces that pose a threat to the order and safety of civil society, and the entire Group shall take a resolute approach to all such issues.
As a concrete measure, the Group has strengthened collaboration, steadily implemented public relations supervision training, worked to share and utilize information related to public
relations. The Group also investigates the attributions of counterparties when initiating new business transactions and has thoroughly introduced organized crime group elimination clauses into business contracts. In addition, we have built a system that allows us to cooperate with external organizations such as police and corporate attorneys, and to respond appropriately and in a timely manner to any approaches from anti-social forces.

ExamplesofOtherEco-FriendlyInitiativesAt worksites and factories, we engage in various eco-friendly activities, such as reducing industrial
waste and optimizing packaging materials, while in offices we use both sides of copy paper.
Solar power plants use sunlight, a renewable energy, and are eco-friendly power generation facilities that suppress emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is considered to be the primary cause of global warming. As of March 2017, we have received orders for more than 650MW of cumulative output and orders for over 150 mega-solar plants alone, which is top-class in the industry. Going forward, we will continue to contribute to curbing CO2 emissions.
◦ExamplesofconstructionsutilizingexistingenvironmentsWe construct solar power plants on the former sites of parking lots
and reservoirs without making changes to the land.For the “HUIS TEN BOSCH TOHMEI SOLAR POWER PLANT,” installed
on the former site of a parking lot, we used our original “KiTy System” for solar panel mounting, which is friendly to the natural environment by leaving the parking lot as is without leveling the land when constructing the facility.
The “ORIX Ono Solar Power Plant,” installed on the top of a reservoir, was built as an eco-friendly power plant leaving the function of the reservoir in place. The solar power plant functions in normal weather, and water temporarily pools in the reservoir during times of heavy rain.
We emphasized leaving the natural environment unchanged and implemented eco-friendly construction for solar power generation that uses renewable energy.
We hold a firm belief that materials procured should be of superior quality and safety to meet each of our customers’ needs. Our unique Standards 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.

◦Statusof conservationprojectof statuesatShinnyojitempleShinnyoji temple was built in 1342. It is the temple where Hōkyōji temple
Abbesses are buried. Shinnyoji temple is one of three branch temples*3 associated with Daihonzan (head temple of a Buddhist sect) Shōkokuji temple, the others being Rokuonji temple (Kinkakuji) and Jishōji temple (Ginkakuji). It is a venerable temple and also ranked as one of the ten second-tier (jissetsu ) of the Five Mountains and Ten Monasteries System of Rinzai Zen temples ( gozan-jissetsu ).
The four statues of nuns at Hōkyōji Imperial Convent housed in Shinnyoji temple are extremely rare portrait sculptures. In order to pass these valuable cultural properties on to future generations, following the statue of Hongakuin no Miya, we conserved the statue of Kotokuin no Miya. We are currently conserving the statue of Abbess Gekkyoken, which is the third statue to be conserved.
Going forward, in addition to the one remaining statue and other statues held in the Dharma halls of temples other than Hōkyōji Imperial Convent, we are also planning conservation support that includes the buildings of Shinnyoji temple and its gardens.*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 temple.

◦SupportfordeliveringelectricLighttopeoplelivingwithoutelectricityOne estimate says that 1.2 billion people around the world have no access to electricity. As a company that handles social
infrastructure, we have been stretching out a helping hand since FY2008 to the “Solar Lantern project”* expanded in India.As the first Japanese company to participate in this project, we have donated a solar panel (one panel) and 50 chargeable LED
lanterns to people living in approximately 50 villages without electricity.In FY2016, in addition to our activities, we cooperated with our local subsidiary in India to support its activities.Going forward, the Group will continue to deliver electric Light.

◦Assistance in restorationandpreservationofdomesticculturalpropertiesAs 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, and are still active mainly in Kyoto and Nara.

I have carefully read the “2017 CSR Report,” which is your second publication of this report, for the first time. My opinion as a third party is as follows.
CommendablePoints◎ The headl ine of the top message includes
“Balancing financial performance and CSR,” and in fact, you have included “Promoting CSR-oriented management” as one of the initiatives in the Medium-Term Management Plan. This is commendable. Even in Japan, investors are increasingly evaluating corporate value from the perspective of ESG (Environment, Society, and Governance), and we anticipate that companies will integrate business management and CSR more and more with time.
◎ Although it has been two years since your full-fledged effort to bolster CSR management, you have compactly and clearly expressed your philosophy on CSR management. Also, the report is structured in accordance with ISO 26000, making the entire report approachable and easy to read.
◎ The “Message from Outside Director” does its part to ensure the soundness and transparency of your corporate governance.
◎ It is commendable that, since FY2013, you have maintained a 100% rate of women returning to work after giving birth. The <Voice> section written by a female employee who returned to work made it clear why she was able to return.
◎ I t i s a l s o c o m m e n d a b l e t h a t y o u h a v e established a social contribution activities policy and activity concepts based on your business characteristics, and have carried out a wide array of initiatives compatible with them.
GoingForward◎ Concerning reporting on results of CSR activities
and issues and goals for the following fiscal year, I recommend that you describe them in a format that takes the PDCA cycles into account, such as
“Targets,” “Achievements,” “Evaluation” and “Targets” for the next fiscal year. I also recommend doing likewise with respect to the targets of environmental activities.
◎ Based on your business characteristics, Standards of Conduct, and the last three ideas of the Top Commitment, it would be desirable if you disclose numerical data related to health and safety goals of
“Labor Practices.” Also, it would be desirable for you to disclose the current situation and issues at construction sites, CSR activities based on these, and comments from employees at construction sites in <Voice> sections.
◎ The Paris Agreement went into effect in November 2016, and in May 2016, the Cabinet decided on the Plan for Global Warming Countermeasures. Some aspects of your business (main business) lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions, while other aspects contribute to the reduction of emissions through the introduction of renewable energy and clean energy. Therefore, it would be desirable for you to explain to stakeholders how you are involved in climate change mitigation measures (global warming countermeasures), and how you view the issue and such initiatives.
◎ With respect to the above, your efforts in emerging countries should be evaluated not only with respect to the environment, but also, for example, with respect to targeting environmental and social issues using Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (Ex: Supplying energy, supplying safe water, developing social infrastructure, providing support for education). In addition, if, starting with the next edition of this report, you are able to include the comments of stakeholders who have benefited from your business (main business) and support activities in <Voice>, readers will be able to gain an even better understanding of your CSR activities.
