| "To provide opportunities for the material and intellectual growth of all our employees, and, through our joint effort, contribute to the advancement of society and humankind" is the Management Rationale of the Kyocera Group. In our quest to achieve this Rationale, we constantly strive to optimize our organization. Kyocera is setting up personnel and education systems necessary to develop and train employees, while actively undertaking measures for improved safety and the prevention of accidents or disaster. Optimizing our organization gives employees a sense of pride in their company and the feeling that their work is worthwhile. |
| Personnel Matters |
 |
| The "material and intellectual growth" targeted by the Management Rationale encompasses more than simply economic stability and prosperity. It embraces an "enrichment of the spirit" - something to live for and a sense of doing worthwhile work - through self-fulfillment. To realize the Management Rationale, our personnel systems are adaptable to the characteristics and societal norms of individual countries. Such systems must be able to adapt to diverse values and the changing environment of an aging society, in addition to the changing labor environment that stems from mobility of employment and globalization of corporate activity. |
| The Personnel Vision |
|
|
|
| To work continually on innovation of various personnel measures. To create a workplace climate in which all employees can take pride in the company and feel that their work is worthwhile, while sharing both hardships and joys. To thereby contribute to achieving the Management Rationale. |
| Respect for Human Rights |
|
|
|
| The Kyocera Group forbids forced labor and child labor, and does not discriminate on the basis of gender, age, religion, race, nationality or physical features. Our human rights policy reflects international standards such as the UN’s "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" and the International Labor Organization’s (ILO’s) fundamental conventions on human rights. The Kyocera Group employs and appoints diverse peoples, with emphasis on humanity and ability. |
| Development of Human "Assets" |
|
|
|
Kyocera regards human resources as human "assets" and supports activities that enable employees to become aware of personal development and heighten their abilities. The greater part of personal growth is realized through work. Therefore, Kyocera is focused on building a workplace environment where each employee can work cheerfully and energetically, and on bringing out employees’ distinctive qualities to the maximum extent. Kyocera aims to match the ideas and ambitions of employees with the needs of the company, thereby simultaneously achieving employee growth and development of the company. The flowchart illustrates the development of people assets.

| Employee Education |
|
| Since the company was founded, Kyocera has practiced management based on the Kyocera Philosophy. The Kyocera Philosophy is the driving force behind Kyocera’s development and it is essential that the Philosophy continues to be passed on correctly to employees. Therefore, in Philosophy education, employees of the Kyocera Group systematically study the fundamental ideas and management methods embodying those ideas. By spreading the yields of Philosophy study throughout Japan and abroad, the Kyocera Group cultivates human resources who can contribute to the advancement and development of humankind and society. |

| The Education Rationale |

| The Education Rationale is based on Kyocera’s philosophy of management. Kazuo Inamori, the founder of Kyocera, devised the Management Rationale as the fundamental approach of Kyocera after thinking long and carefully about "why a company exists." The goal of the Education Rationale is to cultivate human resources who can contribute to achieving the Management Rationale. |
| The Kyocera Group cultivates highly capable human resources who acquire the Kyocera Philosophy and contribute to the advancement and development of humankind and society, while pursuing the global development of Kyocera and the happiness of all employees through earnest efforts and a focus on creativity. |

| Safety & Health / Disaster Prevention |
|
| Provision of a safe and healthy work environment is a major requirement for achieving the material and intellectual growth of employees, as set out in the Management Rationale.

| Introduction and Operation of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System |
|
|

Working toward the eradication of work-related accidents, Kyocera has been steadily setting up its Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSAS18001)
since July 2004.
In October 2005, the Kyocera Shiga Gamo Plant, the Shiga Yohkaichi Plant and the Corporate Environment and Safety Management Organization overseeing the Kyocera Group received OHSAS certification. In 2006, 12 production facilities of Kyocera and KYOCERA MITA Corp. received the certification.
The system is currently being introduced at all production facilities in the domestic Kyocera Group. Furthermore, the system will also be employed at non-production facilities in the domestic Kyocera Group starting in April 2008. |
