Calculation Method of Environmental Performance Data and Applicable Scope of Group-wide Targets and Results
| Disclosure item | Calculation method | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Environmental performance data | |||
| CO2 emissions | Scope 1 (Direct emissions) | The figures were calculated by multiplying the measured energy input by the predetermined coefficient in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Emission Volume Calculation, Reporting, and Disclosing System. (The measured energy input comprises the measured gas, heavy oil, and kerosene.) |
|
| Scope 2 (Indirect emissions) | As above. (The measured energy input comprises the measured electric power, steam, and hot and cold water.) | ||
| Scope 3 (Others) |
Group-wide | Basic Guidelines Ver. 2.2 regarding the measurement of greenhouse gas emissions generated by the supply chain. They are measured on the basis of directives from the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. |
|
| Category 3 (Fuel- and energy-related activities) | The figures were calculated by multiplying the measured input of electric power, steam, and hot and cold water by the predetermined coefficient. | ||
| Category 5 (Waste generated by business activities) | Calculated by multiplying the waste generated by the predetermined coefficient. | ||
| Category 6 (Business trips) | Calculated by multiplying the number of Group personnel at the end of the fiscal year by the predetermined coefficient. | ||
| Total | The total emissions from the sum of Scope 1 (Direct emissions), Scope 2 (Indirect emissions), and Scope 3 (Others). | ||
| Electricity consumption | The annual amount of office-use electricity purchased from each energy-supplying company is calculated in accordance with the law on the rationalization of energy consumption. | ||
| Water consumption | The reportable item according to the environmental reporting guidelines of the Ministry of the Environment comprises the amount used on the invoices received from the water supply authorities. | ||
| Waste generated & recycling rate | Group-wide | Measured based on the Waste Disposal & Public Cleansing Law and other laws concerned with waste disposal and cleaning. | |
| Waste generated | Calculated according to the invoices received from waste disposal companies. | ||
| Recycling rate | The recycled amount is calculated according to the invoices received from waste disposal companies, and the recycling rate is calculated by dividing the recycled amount by the waste generated. | ||
| Group-wide targets and results | |||
| Electricity consumption | The calculation excludes the amount used by tenants of the Group's buildings, and is calculated using the annual amount of office-use electricity purchased in accordance with the relevant energy-saving laws. | ||
| Office paper use | A reportable item according to the environmental reporting guidelines of the Ministry of the Environment, and is calculated from the purchasing system data. | ||
