Website Accessibility Policy
Established: June 30, 2025
Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Nippon Paint Holdings Co., Ltd., we are committed to creating a website that is accessible and easy to use for
everyone. We continually strive to ensure and improve website accessibility, providing all visitors with a site they
can access comfortably and with ease.
By prioritizing accessibility, we aim to provide a website that allows all visitors to comfortably and easily access
information about our initiatives, products, and services.
Accessibility Standards and Guidelines
We aim to meet Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0), as recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). For our Japanese website, we adhere to JIS X 8341-3:2016, the relevant Japanese Industrial Standard. (*)
(*) The term “conformance” used in this Website Accessibility Policy is based on the definition set forth in the JIS X 8341-3:2016 Conformance Labeling Guidelines (March 2016) – March 22, 2016 (available in Japanese only), issued by the Web Accessibility Infrastructure Committee of the Information and Communication Access Council.
Scope and Future Policy
We will begin by ensuring accessibility conformance for the corporate website of Nippon Paint Holdings Co., Ltd.,
and will gradually expand the scope of conformance to additional websites in the future.

Exceptions
The following web pages and content are excluded from the scope of this Accessibility Policy, as it is currently
difficult to ensure conformance for these items:
・PDF files, audio, and video content
・Services, data, images, and other materials provided by external sources
* PDF files, audio, and video content will be addressed and gradually brought into conformance in stages moving
forward.
