Environmental Benefits to Customers

In this and following pages, we report the environmental impact reductions achieved at our customers’ factories and other sites.

Environmental Benefits to Customers

For fiscal 2009, we estimated the environmental benefits (deemed effect) we had brought to the customers who had given orders to us during the period from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. The calculations were done to get the difference between the environmental impact before and after the introduction of Kurita products based on the environmental impact reduction that we had estimated in our specifications and the proposals presented to these customers at the time of their orders.
