Notice on the Company’s action for the health hazard of asbestos

The effective medical treatment of asbestos-related disease is not yet surely established in Japan. The causal relationship between asbestos-exposure and asbestos-related disease, such as mesothelioma, is still unclear in many respects and there is no social welfare systems designed for asbestos-related disease excepting workers compensation system for the injuries at workplaces.

However, the Company which previously manufactured asbestos-containing products for a long time, has decided to take the following actions from the view point of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) :

1. The Company’s action for the residents who live near Kanzaki Plant

In April 2005, the Company was first advised that people living near the Company’s plant once called “Kanzaki Plant” suffered from mesothelioma by a member of Amagasaki City Council. On notice of that fact, the Company held discussions with patients and their private support group, being mindful of what the Company could and should do for them as a manufacturer which once made asbestos-containing products. Consequently, the Company decided to pay consolation payments with the following policies and procedures in mind:

(1) Discussion and review process with patients and their private support groups before reaching decision

• In April 26, 2005, the Company held a meeting with patients and their private support groups and exchanged and shared information with each other on patients’ conditions and feelings on one hand, the measures taken by the Company for the various asbestos issues on the other hand, and so on.

• After that meeting, the Company had made repeated reviews about the matter, including the consultations with outside advisers. And the Company finally decided to pay the consolation payments.

(2) Policy behind the consolation payments

• There were pros and cons in the review discussion for the consolation payments. The Company feared, the wrong message that the Company thought all the problems could solve with money, would be sent.

• However, the Company decided to do quick responses because three patients have suffered from the disease. Actually, they have expensed lots of medical expenses.

• If the Company ever hears from the patient under the same situation near Kanzaki Plant, the Company intends to act seriously and faithfully for them, too.

• The Company is also considering the payment of condolence money for residents near Kanzaki Plant who, the Company was advised, died of mesothelioma.

• The Company will react seriously and faithfully if the Company ever learns about the health hazard of asbestos that occurred near the other plants of the Company.

2. The future actions by the Company

In addition to the consolation payments, the Company considers to implement comprehensive actions in order that the Company can help to resolve the problem of the health hazard of asbestos as a manufacturer that produced asbestos-containing products before.
