In fiscal 2015 (fiscal year ended March 2016), the global economy was weak overall due in part to the slowdown in the Chinese economy. Against this backdrop, capital investment in the printing business in Japan was vigorous, bolstered by support from public subsidies aimed at popularizing energy-saving facilities. In Europe, moderate recovery momentum drove capital investment impetus. In the United States, demand for printing was on a recovery trend, but a cautious stance remained with regard to upgrades of facilities for printing machinery. In China, stagnant demand lingered amid the economic slowdown and deterioration in the financial environment. In part of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which slightly suffered from falling natural resource prices and currency depreciation, and in the Indian market, upgrade demand was seen for printing machinery amid robust printing demand. In this environment, the Company’s Fourth Medium-Term Management Plan entered its wrap-up year of fiscal 2015. We took measures to promote its “business structure transformation,” centered on new business development such as strengthening the established offset printing press business, and to “business model innovation in sales activities” through sales expansion based on solution businesses.

The Fourth Medium-Term Management Plan was launched, with 2013 remarking the 90th anniversary of our establishment as the year of creation of a new business model and start of the rebuilding (second establishment) of the Company into an outstanding enterprise. Placing the offset printing press business as our core business, we have taken initiatives based on three reforms—“business structure transformation” aiming to combine businesses for strategic growth, “business model innovation in sales activities” targeting at expanding sales domains, and “transformation of our profit structure” seeking to ensure stable earnings to support these growth strategies. For the final year of the Plan (fiscal year ended March 2016), we set consolidated-basis numerical targets of net sales of 100.0 billion yen and an operating profit margin of 8%. Actual results were 95.3 billion yen and a margin of 6.9%, falling below these targets.

This shortfall was due to slowed growth in demand amid the sharp slowdown in the economy of the promising China market, which affected our core offset printing press business. However, we succeeded in greatly expanding sales supported by generally robust demand in the Japanese, European and American markets, with a strong performance by high value-added printing machinery equipped with our high-speed UV (H-UV) curing system and package printing system, and stepped-up marketing of products for newly emerging markets. In the overseas securities printing press business forming the core of our business structure transformation, we enjoyed steady progress due to orders for large-scale equipment from UK-based De La Rue International Limited and for a string of orders for facilities from Asian and other newly emerging markets. Furthermore, in the Printed Electronics (PE) business, we established a new earnings platform through the purchase of SERIA CORPORATION in 2014.

On the other hand, we fell far short of our targets in the Digital Printing System (DPS) business, which had been considered promising, with development delays slowing our go to market strategy resulting in delay of profitability. In Japan, we steadily expanded product ranges and had some success in the Print Engineering Service Provider (PESP) business, a cornerstone of our “business model innovation in sales activities.”

We also took proactive measures under the “Green-PJ” project, an in-house cross-organizational environmental initiative launched in 2013, the year earmarked for the Group’s re-launch.

With the KOMORI Eco Vision 2030 developed as its long-term target from fiscal 2015, the Company launched full-scale initiatives to fulfil its corporate responsibilities through fostering of a recycling-based society.

In April 2016, we initiated the Fifth Medium-Term Management Plan, which is basically geared to the two pillars that formed the framework of the “Fourth Medium-Term Management Plan”—“business structure transformation” and “business model innovation.” Meanwhile, the plan aims to further strengthen the core offset printing press business and to actualize outcomes by implementing strategies and policies that were developed and partially completed under the “Fourth Medium-Term Management Plan.” It also aims to realize latent value as much as possible by effectively leveraging company resources. We will endeavor to complete this “transformation” under the new medium-term management plan, and re-launch the Company as an outstanding enterprise.

Looking ahead, we will make further progress towards establishment of a sustainable business structure, while continuing to maintain our reputation built up in the years since our foundation as a “KOMORI with technological strength” in its DNA. With the aim of realizing the management philosophy of becoming a “company that inspires customer Kando,” we will continue to work to globally deliver satisfaction and Kando—customer satisfaction beyond expectations—and fulfill our commitment to enhancing our corporate value.

Message from Komori’s Environmental Officer

With the chaotic global political and economic situation, the world has entered a phase of extreme instability. Against this background, the Paris Agreement was signed at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Conference of the Parties twenty-first session (COP21), held in December 2015. This epochal event, with participation for the first time of all 196 member countries and regions, reaffirmed an ongoing sense of extreme crisis with regard to the global environment and global warming.

Having designated 2013 as the year of reestablishment, Komori, as a company that aims to meet public expectations in terms of environmental response, is working to improve the environment at the global and corporate operational levels by launching the “Green-PJ” project, an in-house, cross-organizational initiative to promote its environmental activities at three levels, eco-products, eco-factories and eco-communication. In the fiscal year under review, we have created new environmental offices, the “CSR and Environmental Countermeasure Planning & Coordination Office” and “Environment & Analysis Technology Development Office,” taking further measures to bring standards up to the next level.

Working with all stakeholders As a manufacturer and marketer of printing equipment, our company is firmly rooted in the printing industry. Our users are basically printing companies, but the final products, printed materials, are distributed to all corners of the world. As such, they have considerable impact on the environment. We are aware of our corporate responsibility in this regard.

However, the Company and the Group cannot act alone in future environmental activities.Given the necessity of cooperation with users, collaborating companies, shareholders,

members of local communities and other stakeholders, and the value of the links with our stakeholders, we aim to be a company that inspires society by promoting environmental technologies and activities that contribute to social development in its entirety.

Much remains to be done in our environmental action plans, on many fronts.This publication outlines our employee activities during the previous fiscal year. We would

like to hear your unreserved opinions about them.

Kazunori SaitohDirector and Managing Operating Officer,General Manager of Sales Management Division, General Manager of DPS Sales Promotion Division, Leader of PESP Business Promotion Project

At Komori, “Green” has been designated as a keyword that denotes a state of co-existence embracing the environment, people and nature. We believe that “green” must entail a calm, bright future where co-existence and mutual balance is maintained among them. This is the essence of the philosophy behind the Green Concept promoted by Komori.

Unless preventive measures are taken, printing presses are industrial products that cause significant environmental impact, consuming as they do vast amounts of paper, ink and other materials and, during operation, electricity and other energy sources.

The greatest environmental concern with regard to printing machinery is reduction of waste which accompanies production of printed materials.

At Komori, we go beyond reduction of waste in the printing process. We are also committed to product development and design that aims to ensure printing machinery that is friendly to the global environment and humanity throughout the life-cycle.

1. Environmental impact assessmentsIn our production designing process, we i d e n t i f y i t e m s t h a t m a y a f f e c t t h e environment, and create development plans that minimize those environmental impacts.

2. Life-cycle assessmentsLife-cycle assessments for newly developed m a c h i n e r y c ove r n o t o n l y p r o d u c t s themselves but also the entire product life-cyc l e , s p a n n i n g p a r t s p r o c u re m e n t , p rocesses , de l i ve r i es and use . Such evaluations enable us to ensure development of printing machinery that is energy-and resource-saving, and also friendly to the global environment.

3. Pr in t ing machiner y operat iona l feedback

Depending on usage status, the energy and resource consumption of printing presses varies greatly.

We carr y out fo l low-up surveys on operational and usage status of the printing machinery delivered to and used by our customers, and reflect those results to our designs to ensure that printing machinery can be used over the long term in sound condition by our customers, and is friendly to the global environment.

Realization of the three pillars of the Green Concept—Clean (pollution prevention), Saving (resource protection) and Safety—will define the development of the next generation of printing machinery. While always committed to reduction of waste paper and improvement of the working environment, as well as further development of energy-saving and noise-reducing systems, Komori is dedicated to developing environment-friendly printing equipment that aims at co-existence of the environment, people and nature.

Green Procurement Control of Chemical Substances

Komori’s Basic Environment Policy

In the long-term KOMORI Eco Vision 2030 drawn up by the Komori Group, the basic tenets are prevention of global warming, measures for a recycling-based society and b iodivers i t y. These or ientat ions support our aim of contributing to the rea l iza t ion of g loba l and communa l sus ta inab i l i t y and fu l f i lment o f ou r responsibilities as a global company.

The Komori Group’s activities are based on a classification of environmental action planning into priority themes and major issues. There are three priority themes: eco-products, eco-factories and eco-communication, under which major issues are identified.

In tandem with the compilation of the KOMORI Eco Vision 2030 plan, we are currently making modifications which will enable ambitious measures to be taken from the next fiscal year.

Komori aims to ensure that al l of the products that it manufactures and sells are safe and friendly to the global environment with little environmental burden. To achieve this goal, we have established the “Komori Green Procurement Standard Guidelines” that are complied with all applicable laws and regulations for chemical substances, working for preservation of biodiversity to manufacture products that are friendly to our customers’ health and the global environment.

We are continuously working for the proper control and the reduction of chemical substances.

In Europe, the REACH regulations require registration of chemical substances and provision of information of substances of very high concern contained in products. In order to comply with the regulations for chemical substances including the REACH regulations, we have establ ished the system and rules to understand and properly control chemical substances contained in products, and operate such

system and rules with the cooperation from our cooperative companies.

Similar laws and regulations for the proper control and reduction of chemical substances, including the increase of the types of chemical substances and the expansion of the scope subject to the RoHS Direct ive in Europe, are being developed not only in Europe but also in other countr ies and regions. Komor i r e s p o n d s t o t h o s e r e g u l a t i o n s systematically while assessing the scope of application of those regulations.

1. We consistently pursue improvements, such as saving energy and other resources, reusing and recycling, and reducing all waste for corporate activities.

2. We promote environmentally friendly printing presses and equipment. We practice green purchasing.3. We adhere strictly to environmental and related laws and ordinances while reducing emissions

of hazardous chemical substances and striving to prevent pollution.4. We meet regularly to review environmental goals. We continuously reduce environmental loads.5. We will document, practice, and maintain this policy. We will educate employees about the policy

to enhance their awareness of the need to safeguard the environment.6. We are committed to communicating with local residents, customers and related companies

to aid environmental protection, and will disclose this policy to the general public.

The LITHRONE GX/G series were developed as products that are friendlier to the environment by thoroughly reviewing our former major machines, the LITHRONE SX/S series, based on the concept of green.

The product bodies of the GX/G series achieved CO2 reduction by reducing the material weight by 4 metric tons (or approx. 9%) while maintaining their performance and durability.

The GX/G series also achieved 14% reduction of power consumption during the use phase (compared to six-color printing machines) by deploying inverter motors and installing DC blowers as the main air sources.

In add i t ion to the above fac to rs , we particularly focused on the reduction of waste paper.

Waste paper directly leads to loss of profits for printing machines.

The GX/G series are eco-friendly printing machines that reduce waste paper by 50% or more before press run compared to the existing series by utilizing the latest technologies such as PDC-SX and KHS-AI that minimize waste and enable highly accurate presets. This realizes the reduction of our customers’ loss and the reduction of CO2 emission volumes during the use phase by approx. 27% per year along with the reduction of power consumption.

In addition, the GX/G series includes many variations such as P (inverting machine) and RP (one-pass duplex printing machine). They are environment compatible printing machines that can produce more efficient printed products in accordance with our customers’ needs.* Figures may vary depending on the types and specifications

of the machines.

Conventional model offset web presses (whole plate sheeter connection)

H-UV drying model (whole plate sheeter connection)

Power consumption (Compared to four-color duplex printing machines)

CO2 emission volumes (Compared to four-color duplex printing machines)

H-UV offset web presses adopt a next-generation offset web press system developed as a completely new device that helps environmental load reduction.

Concept of development(1) To realize a printing quality equivalent to that of offset

sheetfed presses.(2) To realize significant reduction of set up paper waste. (3) To realize the minimization of energy consumption

Main feature Prevention of expansion and contraction (reticulation)

As H-UV offset web presses use no hot-air dryers, the moisture content in paper does not change and no expansion or contraction (reticulation) is generated. H-UV offset web presses realize a high printing quality equivalent to that of offset sheetfed presses.

Drastic reduction of waste paper at the time of setting up Waste paper at the time of setting up can be reduced by 50% or more due to the synergy effect with the automatic control technologies of KHS-AI (waste paper

reduction system) and AI-Link (integration control system).

Environment compatible technologies of H-UV Offset Web Presses

(1) Significant reduction of electric energy use (no hot-air dryers)

(2) Significant reduction of CO2 emission volumes (no gas, electric energy saving and waste paper reduction)

(3) Zero VOC (no emission of volatile organic compounds)(4) Space saving (no gas equipment, no hot-air dryer, no

cooling equipment)• Electric energy usage can be reduced by 20% or more

by replacing hot-air dryers to the UV drying system. CO2 emission volumes can be also reduced by approx. 40%

• Emission volumes of VOC can be basically reduced to zero by use of UV ink. In addition, the size of machines can be reduced by replacing large equipment with smaller H-UV equipment.

Tsukuba Plant Solar Power Generation Facilities Inside the Komori Machinery Plant, from Mercury Lamps to LED Lighting

Sekiyado Office (Expansion of energy-saving lighting area at Komori Global Parts Center) (Sekiyado Service Department: Energy-saving measures targeting lighting in offices)

Water-saving Equipment at the Tsukuba Plant

As part of the environmental activities being undertaken under the “Green-PJ” project, we are introducing internal-use solar panels at the Tsukuba Plant.

For this facility, we installed 2,016 panel modules on some of the plant roofing. The total installed capacity of the system is 534.2 kW, and annual power generation is expected to be around 610,000 kWh. This a moun t i s e qu i va l e n t to the p owe r consumption of 137 ordinary households, meeting 5% of the power needs at the Tsukuba Plant.

As solar power is a clean energy source tha t gene ra tes no CO 2 and i t i s a l l consumed in-house, it can contribute

At Komori Machinery, we have introduced LED as an energy-saving lighting system to replace conventional mercury lamps. Compared with the conventional mercury l a m p s , L E D l i g h t i n g o f f e r s s i m i l a r brightness, but at a 78% reduction in electricity consumption, enabling a 75% decrease in contract-based power supply. In addition, whereas mercury lamps need to be replaced once every two years, LED lamp life cycles are approximately 10 years. Enabling significant reduction in parts, replacement-work and other running costs. Furthermore, it has also become possible to turn off lighting in areas that are not used, and relighting that took some time before takes no time.

From 2016 onward, we plan to further cut energy costs through introduction of LED lighting at offices and plants.

At the Komori Global Parts Center, which supplies parts and materials 24 hours in Japan and overseas, we took measures to introduce lighting suitable for picking and other operations, as well as measures for energy-saving lighting. In line with the increase in products handled, we increased the parts area. Here too, we took measures to promote energy-saving in l ight ing through adoption of electronic ballast and motion sensor lighting. At the offices of the Sekiyado Service Depar tment (former Saitama Service Center), which has been relocated to the Sekiyado Of f ice, we adopted electronic ballast lighting. Looking ahead, we w i l l cont inue to deve lop measures to balance energy-saving and operability.

At the Tsukuba Plant, we have installed wa te r- s av i n g d ev i c e s o n p l u m b in g installations for everyday use (toilets, wash-basin areas and showers, etc.). Fitted on taps, these regulate the amount of water d i s c h a r g e d a t e a c h p o i n t o f u s e . Reductions in water volumes are controlled by raising water pressure, so the water user actually feels no change, while water charges are being reduced.

Installation of the devices reduced water usage volumes by about 13%. This is equivalent to approximately 25 meter swimming pools of 14 elementary schools.

At the KOMORI Tsukuba plant, we will aggressively continue initiatives aimed at cutting overall CO2 emissions, through reductions in electricity, water, gas and paper usage.

significantly to environmental protection. The expected reduction in CO2 related to electric power usage is around 5%, which is equivalent to afforestation of an area about 4 times the size of the Tokyo Dome stadium complex (46,755 m2).

By installing solar panels on the facility roofing, it is possible to reduce costs other than those of e lectr ic i t y generat ion, including reduction of air-conditioning expenses from thermal insulation and of repair expenses as degeneration of roofing materials is prevented.

We started generating solar power in December 2016.

This is a compact, lightweight, economical and highly environment-friendly new blower that has high rotational and efficiency rates while ensuring efficient air volume/static pressure features.

By replacing conventional induction electr ic blowers for exist ing pr int ing machinery with DC blowers, it is possible to reduce power consumption by around 45% and cut down on space required for installation.

Problems with pr int ing machinery at customers can entail the risk of not only c a u s i n g m a te r i a l d a m a g e b u t a l s o significant loss of trust. For this reason, “preventive maintenance” is necessary to enable machinery to remain in a state of stable operability at all times. For such “preventive maintenance,” it is essential to ma in ta in the sys tems in an opt ima l condition, to always ensure high printing quality and also to reduce environmental impact.

We have been providing support to our customers through the KOMORI Preventive Maintenance (KPM) program based on our long years of know-how. Now we have also launched the “one-day check” service, as a first step of the “preventive maintenance” for restoring printing machinery degraded by many years of use.

Fi rs t , an on-s i te “ inspect ion and diagnosis” of the printing machinery is undertaken by professionals, with the findings written up in a report. Based on

the report, a plan including medium-to-long-term perspectives is drawn up with the customer. Through this, unexpected mechanical glitches are prevented, and cus tome r s can a l so bene f i t f rom a reduction in urgent maintenance expenses, as machinery service life can be prolonged. Env i ronmenta l benef i ts can a lso be expected.

The static-eliminating ion generator is a new device which blows static-eliminating ions between sheets of paper, where static electricity can easily arise, enabling stable paper feed and alignment through an excellent ion balance. It contributes to increased production because there is no longer any need to adjust machinery due to problems with paper feed and alignment. It also encourages more efficient operation, because it enables post-processing without preparation.

Responding to increasing speeds and complexity in print quality and conditions, K-Supply is a line of printing materials developed and provided by KOMORI to maximally leverage the capabilities of its offset printing presses.

It includes roller and blanket cleansing fluids, dampening water, and antistatic solutions. While fully compliant with all applicable laws and regulations, this line is excellent for both equipment operators and environmental protection.

Biodiversity

Basic philosophyThe KOMORI Group will contribute to the formation of a sustainable society through the development and dissemination of products and technologies that promote biodiversity, in a gesture of gratitude for the blessings of nature, the source of biodiversity.

Action guidelines1. With due consideration to our impact on biodiversity, we are

committed to development of products that, to the maximum possible extent, can reduce use of forestry resources (paper), water and fossil fuels (electricity).

2. We recognize the impact of our activities on biodiversity and will work to minimize such adverse effects.

3. We contribute to creating a society that fosters biodiversity, through dialogue with our customers, suppliers, regional communities and other stakeholders.

4. We shall work for better understanding among our employees of the importance of biodiversity, and for their recognition of the need of its protection.

We began cooperative activities with grassroots environmental NPO “TSUKUBA KANKYOU FORUM” in 2016 and participated in the activities under the “Katsuragi Forest Development Initiative” organized by the Forum, contributing to maintenance and improvement of local biosystems.

The Tsukuba Plant is not merely a printing machinery factory. It is also a production base that gives due consideration to coexistence with nature and the community. Along both sides of the road outside the plant, we have planted a total of 112 cherry trees, and carried out various dogwood tree and other afforestation projects with the help of customer contributions, enabling us to enrich the environment around the plant.

“Clearing undergrowth in the Mahoroba woodland area”We cleared undergrowth at the “Mahoroba woodland area” on the east side of the Komori Machinery plant. This beautified both sides of a pathway used by commuters and school children, brightening up the journey for both.

“Grass cutting on Nukanome Cherry-tree Way”Cherry trees are being planted along the banks of the Mogami River that runs south of the Komori Machinery plant. Under the auspices of the “Nukanome Cherry Tree Association,” undergrowth clearance and other activities involving local people are undertaken three times a year. Komori Machinery likewise participates in these initiatives.

The Komori Group’s Environmental Impact Environmental Performance in Fiscal 2015

As printing machines use a large amount of resources, mainly steel, and impose a large burden on the environment during the use-phase in light of the life-cycle, we have worked for the reduction of CO2 emission volumes mainly in terms of products and production. However, in order to further contr ibute to the establ ishment of a sustainable society, we launched Scope3 in the current fiscal year, aiming to devote m o r e e f f o r t s t o g l o b a l w a r m i n g countermeasures as a responsible product manufacturer.

Measures to Reduce CO2 Emission Volumes

Measures to Reduce Water Usage Amounts

Measures to Reduce the Amount of Waste

In fiscal 2014, there was a 31% increase in emissions, due to the inclusion of the SERIA group and overseas bases in the range of statistical compilation, and a 5% increase on a basic unit basis. In fiscal 2015, we achieved a 10% reduction at the Tsukuba Plant and KKM by using energy-saving lighting and other measures, and the basic unit value also fell by 12%. The KOMORI Group is committed to taking further energy-saving measures in the coming fiscal year.

In fiscal 2014, there was a 5% increase in usage due to the inclusion of the SERIA group and overseas bases in the range of statistical compilation, but a 15% decrease on a basic unit basis.

In fiscal 2015, water-saving activities at the Tsukuba Plant resu l ted in a 9% decrease, and a 10% decrease on a basic unit basis. We will make further efforts to save water in the coming fiscal year.

In fiscal 2014, there was a 73% increase in waste due to the inclusion of the SERIA group and overseas bases in the range of statistical compilation, and a 39% increase on a basic unit basis.

In f iscal 2015, we achieved a 7% decrease, and an 8% decrease on a basic unit basis. We will make further efforts to cut waste volumes.

Environmental Report CSR Management

Environmental AccountingMessage from Head of CSR and Environmental Countermeasure Planning & Coordination Office

The purpose of environmental accounting is: to confirm the investment effect and cost effect of the effort towards environmental preservation; to effectively distribute resources for environmental preservation; and to publicly inform the Komori Group’s effort for environmental preservation.

Cost of Environmental Preservation

Effect of Environmental Preservation

The amount we invested in environmental preservation in f iscal 2015 was 106.2 million yen, reflecting the cost of changing the l ights of the Tsukuba Plant f rom mercury lamps to energy-saving electrode free lights and the cost of installation of water-saving equipment for daily use water. It also reflects the cost of changing the lights of Komori Machinery Co., Ltd. (our subsidiary) from mercury lamps to energy-saving LED lights. The amount of cost was reduced by 4.3 million yen compared to the previous year to 161.2 million yen. The a m o u n t o f c o s t d o e s n o t i n c l u d e depreciation expenses.

Total amount of energy use and CO 2

emission volumes were both decreased. We consider that such decreases were b r o u g h t a b o u t b y t h e G r o u p ’ s environmental activities and the effect of equipment introduced in the first half of the year that materialized throughout the year, as well as the effect of the three-plant system.

Power coef f ic ients used were the emiss ion fac to r s fo r e lec t r i c u t i l i t y operators released by the Ministry of the Environment each year. Therefore, they may vary from those of the previous fiscal year even for the same electric power.

Calculation method: (1) The calculation period is from April 1, 2015 to

March 31, 2016.(2) The scope of ca lculat ion of the cost of

CSR and Environmental Countermeasure

Planning & Coordination Office

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) at KOMORI is based on the idea that in the future companies will have to fulfil responsibilities to society as they work to expand corporate value and to generate earnings. The range of CSR activities is wide. Komori categorizes them as follows:

Corporate governance Compliance Internal control (risk management, internal control standards and internal audit system) Global environment conservation Information Putting people first Social contribution Products, technology and services

We consider the most basic element of CSR is to ensure that customers can use quality products safely and without worry, supported by high-quality services.

In carrying out our business activities, we have two main priorities. One is “abiding by the law.” In other words, the basis is fulfilling compliance requirements. It is also important to volun-tarily take compliance measures where deemed necessary even in cases where there is no legal provision. The second priority is “health and safety.” The safety of our customers, employees and partner companies is the highest priority. We believe that our corporate commitment to delivering “Kando-customer satisfaction beyond expectations”—can only be met on this basis.

As our environmental initiatives, in business activities such as development and production, we aim to reduce our environmental impact and act in harmony with the global environment. We are also committed to producing environment-friendly products that enable customers to cut down on electric power consumption and paper waste, while enabling production of high-quality printed materials.

At the same time, we are committed to contributing to reduction of CO2 through life cycle as-sessment initiatives, aiming to reduce environmental impact over the whole product lifecycle.

Corporate GovernanceThe Company specializes in the manufacture and marketing of printing machinery. It has adopted a corporate formation using a Board of Corporate Auditors.

Composed of eight directors (including two outside directors) as of June 21, 2016, the Board of Directors has a meeting once a month in principle to determine statutory matters, fundamental management policies, and other matters of importance as the Company’s ultimate decision-mak-ing body, while supervising the executive function of directors. We have 12 operating officers who are fully observing and widely disseminating the management policies and other decisions made by the Board of Directors. They ensure sound business execution toward the achievement of tar-gets and maximizing corporate value.

The Board of Corporate Auditors is composed of four corporate auditors including three out-side corporate auditors. Corporate auditors attend meetings of major importance and express their opinions as necessary, thereby auditing the executive function of the directors.

To ensure rapid decision making, Management Meetings, chaired by the president and attended by the operating officers in charge of corporate planning, production, development, sales and administration divisions together with corporate auditors as observers, are held to de-liberate and formulate policies relating to key management issues and the Company’s medium-term management plan. In order to thoroughly disseminate policies decided at this meet-ing, a Company-wide meeting is usually held on a monthly basis. Each meeting is attended by relevant directors and general managers who deliberate operational matters of importance and confirm the proper execution of duties.

Four members of the Internal Audit Office, who directly reports to the president, conduct in-ternal audits. They examine the business operations of the Group as a whole, to determine they are being executed appropriately and efficiently.

Together with Customers

While providing safe and high quality products, technologies, and services that match the needs of customers worldwide to attain the satisfaction and trust of customers, we wi l l contr ibute to the p r o m o t i o n o f a r t , c u l t u r e , a n d communication.

KOMORI Calendar2016

Continuing from the previous year, the 2016 calendar is the third installment in our series with the theme of “FLAWLESS BEAUTY.” To ensure that the dreamlike and elegant atmosphere of the finely processed works would not be undermined, various methods to retain the artistic feel were used. Aside from the use of vibrant colors, compatibility with the type of paper, high-r e s o l u t i o n p r i n t i n g m e t h o d s , a n d differences in coating line numbers all play a part. Additionally, by expressing contrast through a delicate combination of emboss, m a t t e , a n d g l o s s , t h e f i n a l w o r k demonstrates perfect beauty, befitting to its title.

Held the 26th KOMORI Club Sponsor General Meeting

On Apr i l 14, the 26th KOMORI Club Sponsor General Meeting was held at the Tokyo Dome Hotel. Attended by 191 people from 130 companies including Komori Club execut ives, sponsors f rom the e ight national blocks, and planning committee

members, the general meeting, KOMORI status report, lecture meeting, and social meeting were held.

Restoration Support activities for the Kumamoto Prefecture and Kumamoto Region EarthquakeCompletion of restoration work for machinery damaged by the earthquake

KOMORI extends its sincere condolences to those who we re a f fe c te d by the Kumamoto Prefecture and Kumamoto Region Earthquake occurred on April 14 and 16. When the earthquake occurred on the 14, we swiftly established a disaster countermeasure headquarters in our head office, as well as confirming the status of the damage and beginning restoration work for customers in the affected area. With a

39-member organization in the disaster countermeasure execution team and disaster information col lection team, restoration work progressed in order, beginning from the customers whose s t a t u s o f d a m a g e w a s c o n f i r m e d . Emergency restoration work requiring heavy faci l i ty transfer engineers was completed on April 21, and restoration work for all customers, including those with significant damage, was completed on May 16. Although cautious conditions persist, we hope for a rapid recovery of affected areas.

KPM(KOMORI Preventive Maintenance)

To enable printing machinery in use to maximize its potential, KOMORI Service has in place a nationwide network for customer support activities that operate on the “three person, four legs” principle to include customers (managers and on-site o p e r a t o r s ) a n d KO M O R I i n c l o s e collaboration.

The KPM support menu incorporates a rich menu for preventive maintenance, such as “periodic visitation with customers,” “simple machinery tests and analyses of customer maintenance status,” and “KPM s e mina r s .” Fo r de t a i l s , p l e a s e s e e “KOMORISERVICE.COM”.

We provide compliance education to all employees of the Komori Group in Japan each year. In the compliance education program, we explain laws and regulations related to our business and individual behaviors, citing specific c a s e s a n d j u d i c i a l p r e c e d e n t s , accompanied sometimes with videos. In addition, we conduct compliance awa renes s su r veys to make the c o m p l i a n c e e d u c a t i o n p r o g r a m r e s p o n s i v e t o c h a n g e s i n t h e employees’ awareness.

To realize true compliance, only complying with laws and regulations is not sufficient. It is essential that, as a corporation, as business people, we all keep in mind that we should respond to the expectations of people who trust Komor i and should respect the i r positions. True compliance can only be realized when each and every person belonging to Komori understands and i s a w a r e o f t h e i m p o r t a n c e o f responding to the trust of clients, which establishes one of the important bases to be a company that is highly trusted and greatly appreciated by customers, and valued and expected to exist by society, in other words, a company that inspires customer Kando. We hope that the compliance education program will be one of the foundations that support Komori.

Respect for Human Rights, Diversity, Occupational Health and Safety, and Compliance1. Respect for Human Rights

We formulated the Komori Group Code of Corporate Conduct and the Komori Group Employee Conduct Standards in 2006. These standards aim to ensure that we comply with domestic and international laws and regulations and respect universal human rights, respecting the personalities and individuality of all people and not discriminating against them. We have translated the Komori Group Code of Corporate Conduct into seven languages, and are endeavoring to increase awareness of human rights at Group companies in Japan and abroad.

2. Diversity

The Komori Group Code of Corporate Conduct expresses our commitment to providing comfortable and interesting work environments in which our diverse people can safely and healthily demonstrate their talents.

In Japan, we maintain a childcare suppor t program that nearly 100% of employees with young children use, and offer shorter working hours for people needing to devote more time to looking after their young ones. We also maintain a nursing care support program.

We employ persons with disabilities in accordance with the statutory standard and provide work assistance, harnessing the JOB Coach ing Prog ram (o f the employment support centers for persons with disabilities) and support for long-term workplace adaptation after employment, and continue to offer individual support regarding work and company life.

3. Occupational Health and Safety

Komor i i s commi t ted to a po l icy o f ma in ta in ing sa fe and acc ident- f ree workplaces at all Group facilities.

Each Group company and business site undertakes initiatives based on its specific health and safety plans. All sites conduct health and safety patrols and enhance the ac t iv i t ies of the i r hea l th and safe t y committees. They also undertake initiatives to reduce “near-miss” events and other potential workplace labor risks, through training and activities to prevent fires and vehicle accidents at and on the way to work, as well as to boost health and safety standards.

4. Compliance

We endeavor to deepen awareness and knowledge about compliance requirements and adherence to them at domestic and overseas Group companies.

Compliance StructureWe ensure adherence to the Komori Group Code of Corporate Conduct, formulate and monitor internal rules, and maintain an internal reporting system to swiftly identify and eliminate bad practices and thereby enhance operational health.

Ensuring Awareness of Komori Group Code of Corporate Conduct

We originally formulated the Komori Group Code of Corporate Conduct for domestic business sites, but have since translated it into several languages and employ it overseas. Executives in Japan and abroad submit written pledges to comply with this code.

Educating about ComplianceEthical corporate practices and compliance are fundamental to engaging in business and materializing our corporate philosophy goals. We accordingly educate all of our domestic Group companies’ managers and employees to enhance their understanding of compliance requirements.

Efforts to Prevent Bribery of Public Officials in Japan and Abroad

Recognizing that global compliance will become vital in the years ahead, Komori’s Board of Directors has conveyed its stance of resolutely opposing bribery.

Internal Reporting SystemWe deployed an Internal Reporting System that the manager of CSR Promotion Office oversees to help prevent or swiftly identify illegal or improper conduct.

Environmental Classes L e a r n i n g a b o u t e n v i r o n m e n t a l countermeasures and increasing power conservation awareness

The 10th environmental classes held at the Tsukuba Plant were attended by 36 fourth grade students from Tsukuba Municipal Kokonoe Elementary School. As it was raining on that day, they observed the 178 solar power panels placed on the walls of the plant spreading for several hundred meters from the connecting passageway of the plant. Students were surprised when explained that the 312 florescent lights in the plant were powered by these panels. Additionally, students toured the plant for t h e v a r i o u s l o w - e n e r g y , e n e r g y conse r va t ion , and was te re duc t ion measures that a re pa r t o f Komor i ’s e n v i r o n m e n t a l c o u n t e r m e a s u r e s . Subsequently, a class was held on global warming using visual slides. The main contributor to global warming is CO2, and when learning that Japan is the fifth largest producer of CO2 in the world, students vowed to work toward low-energy and energy conservation through measures such as “not leaving the television on,” “turning off lights frequently,” and “reducing opening and closing of the refrigerator.” In the plant tour, students were surprised to see huge rotary presses and currency printers, showed interests in the system by which color printing was made via four colors and eagerness to learn. Their teacher commented, “Environmental issues taught f rom a tex tbook have trouble providing a firm understanding. Today, I think that observing real-world examples of environmenta l countermeasures and manufacturing at the plant left a strong impression on the children. After returning to school, I plan on reviewing the material and having a conversation with students about issues such as global warming.”

Together with society

To constantly advance in step with society, we actively contribute to society through various social activit ies, and work to c o m m u n i c a t e w i t h p e o p l e i n t h e community. Aiming to be a company that delivers Kando to our customers, our range of activities is ever growing.

Shareholder Return

From a long-term perspective, KOMORI places emphasis on securing internal reserves for enriching the management foundation and expanding business, and recognizes the continuous, stable return of profits to shareholders as one of the most significant management issues. Under this policy, by providing stable dividends in addition to implementing agile acquisition of treasury stock, we target a total return ratio of 40% or more.

A Rio Olympic Athlete was Born from KOMORI Mr. Ronald Kwemoi of the Track and Field Department

An Olympic athlete was born from KOMORI for the first time. Mr. Ronald Kwemoi (20 years old, from Kenya) of the Track and Field Department was chosen to represent Kenya for the 1,500 meter track and field event at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

Mr. Kwemoi participated in the 1,500 meter event, which is also known as the martial arts of track and field. He made the finals by placing second in the quarterfinals and first place in the semifinals. In the final, as the race progressed at a very slow pace, he came into contact with another athlete’s foot around the 650 meter mark where he speeded up, and met an accident where he fell to the ground. Although he quickly stood up and rejoined the pack, it resulted in a 13th place finish.

Comment from Mr. Kwemoi

“Thank you for your support. I am very happy to have been able to participate on such a grand stage of the Olympics. Also, I am thankful for the support of so many people. I was in a good condition and steadily made it to the finals, but I fell during the final and wasn’t able to win a medal, which was my goal. I am very frustrated. At the World Championships in Athletics next year, I will seek revenge and aim for the gold medal.”

Mr. Ronald Kwemoi
