The Sharp Group will fulfill our responsibility for environmental conservation by promoting the creation of proprietary technologies that contribute to protection of the global environment, and by carrying out our product development and business activities in an environmentally conscious manner.

|
|
| 1. To Conserve the Environment: |
|
| (1) |
We will comply with all applicable environmental laws, regulations and territorial agreements, and work to practice efficient use and conservation of resources and energy voluntarily, in the recognition that environmental conservation is an essential facet of corporate and individual pursuits.
|
| (2) |
We will ensure proper use and control of chemical substances in our business activities including research, development and manufacturing, meeting or exceeding levels determined by laws and regulations.
|
| (3) |
We will engage in the active acquisition, reporting and promotion of environmental information at an international level, as the Sharp Group companies promote communication with shareholders and local residents.
|
| (4) |
We understand the importance of internal company systems and related details in acquiring third-party certification and recertification of our ISO environmental management systems, and we will conduct our business operations in accordance with relevant internal guidelines.
|
|
|
2. To Develop Environmentally Conscious Products and Services, and Conduct Our Business Operations in an Environmentally Conscious Manner:
|
|
| (1) |
We will engage positively in the minimization of resource use, reduction in the size and weight of products, use of recycled materials, and the development of long-lasting, energy-saving, energy-creating products.
|
| (2) |
We will work to compile information related to harmful substances that might damage the environment or human health, and will not, as a matter of principle, make use of these harmful substances in our products, services and business activities.
|
| (3) |
We will use recyclable materials wherever possible, with product development focused as a matter of policy on structures that are detachable or capable of dismantling, and suited to recycling.
|
| (4) |
We will work aggressively to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the full range of our business activities, in order to contribute to the prevention of global warming.
|
| (5) |
We will work to conduct our business in such a way to select and purchase materials that are harmless to the global environment, and to local residents and employees, for the resources needed for business activities (equipment, raw materials, subsidiary materials, tools, etc.).
|
| (6) |
We realize that waste material is a valuable resource, and we will actively conduct our business operations in such a way as to maximize the 3Rs (reduce, recycle and reuse) and will contribute to minimizing the amount of waste sent for permanent landfill disposal.
