Activities for Sustainable Management Environmental Activities Socially Responsible Activities JS Group Corporation and nine Group companies are sponsoring and participating in the “Chal- lenge 25 Campaign.” This is a new government initiative that builds on Team Minus 6%, a past  movement to combat global warming. At Eco-Products 2009, which was held in December 2009, four Group companies—Tostem,  Inax, Tostem Viva, and Toyo Exterior—participated as in the previous year. They were also joined  for the first time by Nittan, Tostem Suzuki Shutter, Tostem Housing Institute, and Asahi Tostem  Exterior Building Materials, bringing the total number of participating Group companies to eight. This event is one of the biggest comprehensive environmental exhibitions in Japan and has  been held since 1999 to promote wider diffusion of eco products and make an environmentally  friendly society a reality. This was the seventh time we participated. Under the theme “Glimpsing  Cities and Housing of the Future,” we proposed cutting-edge eco-products and services from JS  Group companies.

Environmental Strategic Committee (ESC)  (As of March 31, 2010) For almost 20 years, TOEX has been offering its  “nature bathing” solution, in which nature and life- styles coexist harmoniously. Moreover, we continue to  undertake corporate activities that are kind to the  Earth and its habitants by making progress in creating  products featuring low environmental impacts  throughout their life-cycles. Inax continues to address issues related to the global  environment to contribute to the realization of a  sustainable society. As part of this effort, we estab- lished a long-term target calling for total CO$_{2}$ emis- sions to be 80% below 1990 emissions by 2050 and  are linking this target closely to our business plans.  To minimize the environmental impacts from business  activities as much as possible, Tostem is undertaking  three priority initiatives: the prevention of global  warming, the conservation of natural resources, and  control of chemical substances and pollution control.
