Environmental Activities Group Environmental Basic Policy Measures for the Global Environment The JS Group recognizes environmental conservation as a priority for developing a sustain- able society in the 21st century. It will fulfill its responsibility as a corporate citizen through  promoting recycling and related activities in every business in the Group. In the year ended March 31, 2006 we declared a common environmental statement, “A legacy  to our children: a beautiful earth and a quality life,” for the entire Group and formulated Group- wide environmental targets. Even though they operate in different business sectors and handle  different products, each of our Group companies is working to reduce their CO$_{2}$ emissions and  increase their eco products ratio based on common targets for the entire corporate group.  We formulated these targets based on our results in the year ended March 31, 2005. Corporate responsibility under  the Kyoto Protocol Total CO$_{2}$ emissions means total emissions in Japan.
