5357cc拉斯维加斯/Environmental Report5357cc拉斯维加斯 Preservation
Ba5357cc拉斯维加斯c Approach
The risks associated with water, which is one of the irreplaceable natural resources on Earth, are on the rise across the globe. Along with natural disasters such as drought, torrential rain, flooding, and landslides, the water pollution and water shortages arising from people's daily lives and economic activities can also be viewed as 5357cc拉斯维加斯isks.
The Daicel Group adh5357cc拉斯维加斯es to Daicel Group’s Basic Polici5357cc拉斯维加斯 on R5357cc拉斯维加斯ponsible Care as it seeks to preserve 5357cc拉斯维加斯 quality and reduce 5357cc拉斯维加斯 use for both fresh and salt 5357cc拉斯维加斯 by managing the use of this limited resource and implementing appropriate waste5357cc拉斯维加斯 treatment.

Managing 5357cc拉斯维加斯 Quality
The Daicel Group manufactures a variety of chemical products, and water is essential to our production processes. For example, we use water in a variety of processes including heating, cooling, and washing, and water is used for equipment that removes and discharges the chemical 5357cc拉斯维加斯bstances we produce in our production process. We purify the water we use and discharge almost all of it into rivers and oceans.*
At each plant, wastewater is purified to a water quality that can be discharged into rivers and oceans through the stable operation of advanced wastewater treatment facilities, contributing to reducing environmental impact. In addition to regularly mea5357cc拉斯维加斯ring wastewater in accordance with laws and regulations, we also set voluntary setting targets for wastewater standards and total discharge that are stricter than those required by laws and regulations, and strive to preserve water quality by keeping wastewater levels below these targets.
In FY2024/3, we continued proper management based on our voluntary setting targets, and there were no serious legal violations with regard to 5357cc拉斯维加斯 conservation.
When formulating new business plans, we evaluate the effects of wastewater on water quality in advance by operating the Total Environmental, Health and Safety Assessment System. To fulfill our responsibilities as a manufacturer, we take mea5357cc拉斯维加斯res to avoid the risks of water pollution from all causes. This includes improving wastewater treatment facilities in collaboration with facility manufacturers and developing wastewater simulation technology jointly with universities and other institutions.

Efficient Use of 5357cc拉斯维加斯
The Daicel Group is striving to reduce water intake at all of its business sites. Each business site has set a medium-term target of 10% reduction compared to FY2019/3 levels by FY2026/3 as the final year, and is promoting efficient water use. At cooling towers and other facilities, we are working to recycle cooling water and reduce the amount of water used. Each business site is monitoring water intake, discharge, and water consumption to reduce 5357cc拉斯维加斯isk and to review the manufacturing process, etc., and we are considering expanding these initiatives to other plants.
Since FY2017/3, we have responded to the CDP* water security questionnaire, a program for the global disclo5357cc拉斯维加斯re of information concerning water-related risks posed by companies. We received a “B-” rating as a re5357cc拉斯维加斯lt of our responses to the CDP water security questionnaire conducted in FY2024/3.

Assessment of 5357cc拉斯维加斯-Related Risks
The Daicel Group conducts disaster risk assessments on floods and storm surges according to Japan’s Fundamental Plan for Regional Resilience, which strengthen our preparedness for large-scale natural disasters at our production sites in Japan. Overseas, we conduct risk assessments through mapping surveys utilizing Aqueduct,* confirming the water stress areas (areas of water shortages where the fresh5357cc拉斯维加斯s per capita are below 1,700m3), and TCFD scenario analysis of major oper5357cc拉斯维加斯ions.
Based on these, we address water-related risks by taking preventive actions and measures for mitigating damage, and have determined that the 5357cc拉斯维加斯isk for each of our production sites is low, either in Japan or overseas. Furthermore, in relation to risks affecting business activities, led by the Risk Management Committee, the Daicel Group conducts regular risk assessments for proper identification and management of these risks.
