  • 1)Emissions associated with activities up to the point when materials/components, materials related to purchased goods and sale, etc. are manufactured. For emission intensities, we have referred to the “Emission intensity database for calculation of GHG emissions by organizations throughout the supply chain (ver. 3.4)” and the “CO2 equivalents common intensity database (ver. 4.01).” Emissions related to vessel transportation from overseas to Japan were included until FY2022. To ensure the use of a uniform calculation method across the Group, these emissions have been excluded and accounted for as upstream transportation and distribution emissions since FY2023. This change resulted in a 362 kt-CO2e decrease in emissions compared to the previous aggregation method.
  • 2)Emission from building and producing capital goods of our companies
  • 3)Emission from purchasing fuel, electricity, heats and generating electricity
  • 4)Emission from transportation and distribution of raw materials, parts, purchased goods and sales materials to our companies. Emissions related to vessel transportation from overseas to Japan were accounted for as purchased goods and services emissions until FY2022. To ensure the use of a uniform calculation method across the Group, these emissions have been included in this category since FY2023. This change resulted in a 362 kt-CO2e increase in emissions compared to the previous aggregation method.
  • 5)Emission from transportation and disposal of waste generated in our companies
  • 6)Emission from business travel of employees
  • 7)Emission from employees commuting
  • 8)Emission from operation of leased assets that our companies leased. Calculated in Scope1, 2
  • 9)Emissions from transportation, distribution, retail and storage of sold products. Emissions from the services purchased by the Group are included in category 4: upstream transportation and distribution.
  • 10)Processing of sold products; - Emission from processing of intermediate products by business operators
  • 11)Emission from use of products by users (consumers, business operators). Since the Group's main sales products, paper products, do not use energy during use, the Group considers that GHG emissions during product use are zero.
  • 12)Emission from transportation and disposal of products when disposing by users (consumers, business operators). The Group's main sales products are paper products, which emit CO2 when discarded. However, the Group's raw materials absorb CO2 when grown, so the Group's emissions are offset and considered to be zero.
  • 13)Downstream leased assets; - Emission from operating leased assets that our companies leased.
  • 14)Emission by franchises. Since the Group is not the president of the franchise, the emissions sources falling under this category are considered to be zero.
  • 15)Emission related with investments management. Since the Group is not an investment or financial institution, zero emissions sources are considered to fall under this category.
  • 16)For the site that experienced difficulties in collecting data due to natural disasters, estimates were calculated using production volumes and actual data for FY2019-2021.

  • 3)Thermal power generation includes power generation capacity of standby facilities. Thermal power generation refers to the sum of oil, coal, gas, waste and biomass burning alone and mixed burning.
  • 4)The figure represents the total amount of electricity consumed in-house and sold.
  • 5)The figure represents the amount of purchased electricity that is certified as renewable energy through Green Power Certificates and other means.
  • 6)The amount of reduction is estimated based on the premise that electric power sale under the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme for renewable energy indirectly reduces the CO2 emissions associated with electric power users.
    Implied reduction = amount of FIT electric power sales x national average emission factor
    FIT electric power sales: The amount of electricity from biomass, hydroelectric, and solar power generation sold under the FIT scheme by Group companies in Japan
    National average emission factor: An emission factor used in the calculation of the equivalent amount of CO2 reduced by using non-fossil electric power under the greenhouse gas emissions calculation, reporting, and disclosure system
