* Totals may not match up due to rounding.
* Emissions from consolidated operations in FY2021 are data for reference only (due to several group companies being unable to calculate emissions in some categories).
* Non-consolidated (2024)
Category 1: Includes purchased raw materials, containers, adhesives, outsourced solvents, products and services. Emissions are calculated by multiplying the annual purchase record for each item by its emission factor.
Category 2: Calculated by multiplying the increase in fixed assets during the target year by the emission factor per unit price of capital goods.
Category 3: Calculated by multiplying electricity and fuel consumption by the respective emission factors.
Category 4: Calculated by multiplying purchased raw materials, containers, adhesives and outsourced solvents by emission factors based on transportation scenarios from the Carbon Footprint Pilot Project.
Category 5: Calculated by multiplying the amount of waste discharged outside the business site by the respective emission factors.
Category 6: Calculated by multiplying business travel expenses by the respective emission factors.
Category 7: Calculated by multiplying commuting expenses by the respective emission factors.
Category 8: Not calculated since it is included in Scope 2.
Category 9: Not calculated due to difficulty in obtaining information.
Categories 10 & 11: Excluded because it is difficult to conduct survey of various usage conditions at customers, and they are estimated to account for less than 5% of total Scope 3 emissions.
Category 12: For purchased raw materials, containers, adhesives, and products, the non-volatile portion of their weight is considered as future waste, and emissions are calculated by multiplying by emission factors for each disposal method.
Category 13: Not calculated due to difficulty in obtaining information.
Category 14: Not applicable.
Category 15: Calculated by multiplying the CO₂ emissions (Scope 1 & 2) of the investee company by the investment ratio.
