Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., headquartered in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, with Fumikiyo Uchioke as President, will hold the 8th SWS Group Environmental Fair at 11 locations across Japan, starting at the Headquarters on November 5th, 2008.

Regarding environmental issues as one of the most important management issues, the SWS Group has been globally promoting environmentally-conscious business activities based on the "Environment Preservation Principles" and "Environment Preservation Action Guideline" established in 1995.

To fulfill these "Environment Preservation Principles," we began holding the Environmental Fair open to the public in 2001, in order to raise the awareness of environmental preservation activities in each employee within the SWS Group, reflect this awareness in our daily behavior, and have local residents understand the SWS Group's environmental efforts. Approximately 4,800 people, including both employees and the public, visited the Environmental Fair at various locations in Japan last year.

Under the theme of "Achieve Cool Earth by Everybody - To reduce 1 kg of CO2 per Person per Day", the Environmental Fair 2008 will tour 11 locations in Japan from November 5, 2008 to February 18, 2009.

In the Environmental Fair, global environment issues such as global warming, the influence of SWS Group's business activities on the environment, and SWS Group's environmental preservation approaches (development of environmentally conscious products, green procurement/purchasing, etc.) will be broadly introduced through panels, displays showing actual articles, video presentations, etc. All employees will participate in this fair. In addition, individual SWS Group companies also plan to hold their own Environmental Fairs, reflecting their own original activities.

The SWS Group will enhance the environmental awareness of all employees by accumulating these activities one by one, and promote environmentally conscious business activities.
