The TDK Group Occupational Health/Safety and Environmental Charter applies not only to all members of the TDK Group (directors, officers, employees, temporary and part-time workers), but also to business partners (individuals employed by contractors and subcontractors working at our sites) and visitors to our sites.

In terms of the environment, based on the charter, the TDK Group is committed to reducing CO2 emissions, energy resources, and water usage across the product lifecycle, including Procurement, Development/Production, Logistics, Use, and Disposal, to lower the environmental load. To promote this commitment, we establish a system led by the responsible officer and clarify roles and responsibilities for environmental activities. These activities have a ripple effect throughout the value chain, such as suppliers, sub-contractors, other business partners as well as our customers. "All business operations" stated in the Basic Principle on the Environment includes due diligence on investment in new businesses and mergers and acquisitions. In addition, the term "resources" in the Policy includes raw materials.

In terms of the health and safety, we aim to form safe and healthy workplace environments. On the basis of the charter, we prioritize our activities and set action plans. As a basic plan for specific activities, TDK has formulated the Health and Safety Basic Plan, which it strives to implement with the aim of reducing the number of significant labor accidents to zero. We also encourage activities based on consultation with and active participation of our employees, in recognition of the fact that ensuring health and safety is achieved through good communication.

Health and safety and environmental activities are promoting within the framework of the Management System, which integrates corporate management and environmental management. Since the active participation of our employees is essential to these activities, we conduct awareness-raising activities and training necessary to deepen employees' understanding. In addition, we strive to disclose information appropriately and proactively communicate to increase external stakeholders’ understanding of the TDK Group’s management policies, initiatives, and environmental and social impacts.
