In FY1999, the SII Group introduced an environmental accounting system which assesses the cost and effect of environmental activities. To operate the system, we established the SII Environmental Accounting Guidelines based on the guidelines of the Ministry of the Environment.
The FY2011 results show that the total investment and the total expenses were 811 million yen and 2,131 million yen respectively.

*１ The investment for FY2011 only. In case we judged that the total outlay included any costs other than environmental protection costs, only the proportion deemed to apply to environmental protection was counted.
*２Includes depreciation expense for FY2010 or before. (Equipment and facility investment are depreciated over 5 and 10 years, respectively, in equal yearly increments.) In case we judged that the total outlay included any costs other than environmental protection costs, only the proportion deemed to apply to environmental protection was counted.
