2 1. Recovery from the Earthquake Disaster

3 1-1. Damages of Earthquake and Tsunami Damage situation of the Great East Japan Earthquake Dead and missing: approximately 20,000 Damage estimated by the government stands at 16 trillion 25 trillion yen Fully or partially destroyed constructions total over 270,000 Sendai Direct damage to printing companies Fully destroyed: 30 Partially destroyed: 10 Tokyo Distance between Tokyo and Sendai: approx. 350 km Damage to printing-related industries Some of major paper manufacturing factories were struck by the earthquake. Procurement of some raw materials became difficult for ink manufacturers.

4 1-2. Initial Recovery Faster-than-expected initial recovery - Fuel such as gasoline: Gradually stabilized 2 to 3 weeks after the earthquake. - Supply of paper and ink: Secured a reasonable volume except for some products after one month - Restoration of equipment such as printing machines: Promptly recovered with the cooperation of equipment manufacturers. Many were restored in March. Handling of new problems - electricity shortage Companies that use electricity at over 500 KW were legally asked to reduce consumption by 15%. - Change operating days to Saturdays and Sundays when electricity load is small - Operate early morning and at night in order to reduce peak electricity use during the day - Reduce electricity consumption in preparatory work for production and peripheral equipment - Energy saving for air-conditioning equipment and lighting, etc.

5 1-3. Special Thanks We have received warm support for this unprecedented disaster from various countries. We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation.

6 2. Green Practices

7 2-1. Progress in Japanese environmental issues s: Significant, rapid economic growth In particular, air and water environments, etc., deteriorated, mainly in industrial and urban areas s: Concerns about serious environmental pollution and the impact on physical wellbeing rose. Developed into a pollution issue Pollution Control Basic Act for Environmental Pollution Control enacted, 1971: Environment Agency established - Post 1980: With the effect of national regulations, pollution problems improved, to a point. On the other hand, addressing global-scale environmental issues such as global warming became necessary : The United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development was held. (Earth Summit) : Basic Environment Law enacted : COP3 (the Kyoto conference): the Kyoto Protocol adopted Environmental Protection 7

8 2-2. Printing Related Environmental Laws Basic Environmental Law Emission Control Pollution Control Waster Recycle Global warming Prevention Chemical Control Environmental Information/Education Air Pollution Control Law The Basic Law for Establishing recycling-based Society Ozone Layer Protection Law Environmental Consideration Promotion Act Water Pollution Prevention Law Waste Disposal and Public Cleaning Law Energy Conservation Law Environmental Education Promotion Act Sewerage Law Law for promoting effective use of resources Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures Noise Regulation Container and Package Recycling Act CFC Recovery and Destruction Law Vibration regulation Law on promoting green purchasing PRTR(Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) Act Odor Regulation Act on Special Measures to Dioxins Pollution Control Organization Law Other Control Law Law Concerning Special Measures against PCB waste 8

15 3-2. Market environment over printing (1) - Oversupply Excessive capital investment, decrease in print media, continuing price competition - Progress of digitalization Dissemination of internet, smart terminal (tablet, etc.) and social media Upgrading of digital printing equipment, integration of cloud and printing technology - Printing commoditization In-house printing, competition of surrounding industries - Mega competition Media competition, vertical competition (prepress and post press), international competition - Change in lifestyle Budget-mindedness, energy-saving-mindedness after the earthquake disaster, dwindling birthrate and an aging population, economic recession 15

16 3 3. Market environment over printing (2) - New business opportunity Solution opportunity with abundant industries, efforts in new industry needs Highly functional material, packaging material, electronic components based on printing technology - Efforts in digital business Digital media, digital promotion business Area, segment-type media business, digital convenience, B to C business - Outsourcing business Expansion of in-house business, expansion of planning or proposing-style business opportunities Personal information-related, system operation, document server center, specialized service - Integration and restructuring Alliance (vertical and horizontal), chain operation, branding - Environment, safety, security Rediscovery of paper usability, electricity saving, paper container, security technology - Global expansion Overseas market entry, alliance with foreign corporations, international procurement 16

17 3-4.

19 3-6. The Printing Industry s Vision This is a chart of the printing industry s Vision 2020 that we envision. Core businesses in which the printing industry has been engaged are in the center. However, times have changed, and with only these businesses in the center, the whole industry will deteriorate and be unable to respond to printing requests from a changing society. - We consider the printing industry s evolution in 4 directions. The first is evolution by digitalization. The business concept itself changes. The second is advanced function and environmental features. We respond to society s needs with technology innovation. The third is the entry to solutions and outsourcing. The fourth is the advanced business model. This is pursued and linked up with the other 3 evolutions. With these 4 evolutions, we believe that the scope of business up to now will expand sequentially, and it is possible to reform the business condition. And we hope to secure our position as the 8-trillion-yen industry we have established so far. - The printing industry has overcome many technical and social changes in its history. The challenges I spoke of today are also part of such changes. Moreover, these changes are not only for Japan but will also have an impact all over the world. These are not easy challenges. The printing industries in each country should try to cooperate in areas where we can work together, and it is necessary to stand up to these changes. 19

20 3-7. Our Mission for the Future - Our printing industry has had a historic mission since Gutenberg, to fulfill a role to provide an information distribution base. We are facing with a great tide of new information-communication technologies such as digitalization and networking. It is a time to re-evaluate true value of printing and its extension of business fields. We will challenge and open the way to the future of the printing industry and we will re-define the meaning of printing By sending this message to you all, I would like to conclude my presentation. Thank you for your attention. Satoshi Saruwatari Chairman of the Japan Federation of Printing Industries (JFPI) 20
