Kyocera was established in 1959 as a small suburban workshop where 28 young colleagues pursued big dreams. Our first product was a U-shaped ceramic insulator (known as a Kelcima) for use within early television picture tubes. Today, Kyocera is a highly diversified global enterprise. We pursue boundless dreams by accepting the challenges that others prefer to avoid. We believe that a strong will can make dreams come true, and that limitless effort can overcome any obstacle. These beliefs from Kyocera’s history remain the driving force behind our growth. We aim to become a creative company that grows continuously throughout the future. Kyocera Group employees around the world who have adopted this pioneering spirit personify our path to growth.

Management Rationale: To provide opportunities for the material and intellectual growth of all our employees, and through our joint efforts, contribute to the advancement of society and humankind. Management Based on the Bonds of Human Minds Kyocera started as a small, suburban factory, with no money, credentials or history. We had nothing to rely on but a little technology and 28 trustworthy colleagues. Since then, for the development of Kyocera, everyone has exerted their maximum efforts and managers have devoted their lives to earning the trust of employees. We wanted to be an excellent company where all employees could believe in each other — abandon selfish motives — and be truly proud to work. This has been the base of Kyocera’s management. Human minds are said to be easily changeable. Yet, there is nothing stronger than the human mind. Kyocera developed into what it is today because it is based on the bonds of human minds. Kazuo Inamori F o u n d er and Chairman Eme r i t u s K YO C ERA Corporation 42012-09-20T14:48:40+02:00http://nozebra.ipapercms.dk/Unimerco/407/UK/PM/4071676PMUKUKKyoceraCorporateProfile/?Page=5http://nozebra.ipapercms.dk/Unimerco/407/UK/PM/4071676PMUKUKKyoceraCorporateProfile/?Page=5Makoto Kawamura Chairman KYO C E RA C o r p o r a t i o n Tetsuo Kuba President K YO C E RA C o r p o r a t i o n To ensure customer satisfaction, Kyocera encourages “management by all employees,” continuously enhancing our capability on the workfloor and our power to achieve. We at Kyocera strive to deliver products and services that delight our customers. The “Customer-First” Principle is our top priority. Satisfying customers requires that we have strong capabilities on the workfloor — a necessary starting point for any work, especially in manufacturing — as well as the “power to achieve,” which permits us to accomplish worthy goals without fail. Our practice of the Kyocera Philosophy and the Amoeba Management System are both extremely important for this. Both originated from Kyocera’s belief in management based on the bonds of human minds. When all employees unite their efforts and participate in management, each finding joy and fulfillment in their work by realizing their maximum potential, they can elevate their minds and grow as human beings. Companies are comprised of people. The quality of a technology, product or service depends on the people behind it. We want to continuously deliver new value to our customers, with employees who relentlessly pursue their dreams, work enthusiastically and consistently achieve self-determined goals. The Kyocera Philosophy The Kyocera Philosophy relates to life and management. Its central principle is to “Do what is right as a human being,” a concept we include in all of our decision making. By showing the importance of fairness and diligent effort, it serves as a paradigm for our conduct. The Amoeba Management System (Decentralized Management) Amoeba Management involves dividing an organization into small units that operate as independent profit-and-loss centers directly linked to their respective markets. This system fosters leaders with management awareness and creates the foundation for Kyocera’s belief in “management by all employees.” 52012-09-20T14:48:40+02:00http://nozebra.ipapercms.dk/Unimerco/407/UK/PM/4071676PMUKUKKyoceraCorporateProfile/?Page=6http://nozebra.ipapercms.dk/Unimerco/407/UK/PM/4071676PMUKUKKyoceraCorporateProfile/?Page=6Vision A truly global company exceeds customer expectations.

Our efforts were based on a desire to contribute to society through the creation of alternative energy resources. We have developed and are actively promoting key devices in the environment and energy field, including LED lighting and power storage systems. Kyocera has developed an original Energy Management System (EMS) using our core competency in high-performance devices for the creation, conservation and storage of energy. This system provides greater efficiency in the use of electricity. With core energy creation technologies that we have developed over many years, Kyocera will support the next-generation environment and energy field — contributing to the protection of our environment by facilitating a low-carbon society. Kyocera’s Home Energy Management System (HEMS) By combining our strengths in energy creation technologies (including solar power and SOFC systems) with wireless communications technology, we have developed an original Home Energy Management System (HEMS) that efficiently controls energy supply and consumption. Electric power is optimally controlled by linking solar power, an SOFC system and power storage batteries with the commercial power grid. Electricity use can be monitored using computers and smartphones to enable even greater usage efficiency. School Solar Power Kyocera began research and development into photovoltaic cells in 1975. Not long after, we became the first company to succeed in mass producing multicrystalline silicon solar cells. In 1993, Kyocera was the first company in Japan to commercialize solar power generating systems for residential use, an application we have worked to expand ever since. Kyocera’s Strength High-quality products are achieved by optimizing raw materials, products, systems and installation expertise. Power Storage Systems Kyocera markets power storage systems with superior durability using high-capacity lithium ion batteries. By connecting to power-generation equipment, such as solar power generating systems, these power storage units can optimize electrical power consumption and provide emergency power backup during blackouts or outages. Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) A fuel cell uses hydrogen from sources such as utility gas and causes it to react with the oxygen in the air to generate electricity and heat. Kyocera began developing materials for SOFCs in the 1980s. Our ceramic cell stack, which forms the core of a fuel cell system, was commercially launched in 2011. SOFC systems containing these stacks are now available in Japan. Kyocera’s Strength The efficiency and durability of Kyocera’s SOFCs are unparalleled. They reflect the expertise accumulated by developing several hundred different fine ceramic materials since the company’s founding in 1959.

The Kyocera Museum of Art (Japan) Kyoto Sanga F.C. (Japan) Kyocera supports awareness, early detection and research to fight breast cancer. Since 2004, Kyocera has donated a portion of its profits from sales of pink-handled ceramic knives in North America to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure ® organization. Similar contributions are being made in Japan and Australia as well. The Kyocera Museum of Art, which opened as part of the company’s social contribution efforts at its global headquarters (Kyoto City, Japan) in 1998, permanently displays many works of art — including Picasso’s copper plate print series 347, Japanese paintings, and Western-style paintings and sculptures. We hope visitors will take advantage of this cultural space to relax and appreciate creative works of art. In response to the expectations of local residents calling for a Kyoto-based professional soccer team, Kyocera helped establish the Kyoto Purple Sanga (now Kyoto Sanga F.C.) in 1994. In accordance with the J-League’s “100-Year Vision,” Kyocera continues to support the team.
