Sustainability Report
| Every year since the first environmental report appeared in 1999, a report has been published that compiles the Group's environmental projects and initiatives. Since 2006, social issues have been included, and this expanded version was renamed the Sustainability Report. We have sought to improve the report's content and readability, taking into account the opinions we receive from readers. We will continue our efforts to report widely on the results the Kobe Steel Group has achieved through our environmental conservation activities. |

Communication with the local community
| In an effort to provide people with a better understanding of our environmental conservation initiatives, we organize onsite presentations for members of the local community and briefings for local government bodies and other such organizations at the Kakogawa Works and Kobe Works. An onsite presentation at the Kakogawa Works on September 27, 2009 was attended by 22 people, who were provided with an overview of progress with onsite measures and given the chance to see our facilities for themselves. We have also set up a toll-free telephone service at the Kakogawa Works and Kobe Works to handle environment-related inquiries. We received a total of 134 inquiries in fiscal 2007, 68 in fiscal 2008 and 60 in fiscal 2009. We will continue to listen carefully to individual opinions in the future. |

| The Kakogawa Works has set up public monitors at the Kakogawa City Office, Harima Town Office and community centers of local neighborhood association in Befu and Hamanomiya to show in real time environmental information such as SOx and NOx levels of emissions at the Works.
