Note

  • *1

    Amounts less than the specified unit are rounded off, so the breakdown and total may not match.

  • *2

    Scope2 CO2 calculation method
    Up through fiscal 2018: Location-based (calculated using the average CO2 emission coefficient for the power network in that region)
    From fiscal 2019: Market-based (calculated using the CO2 emission coefficient for each power purchase agreement)
    The calculation method was changed because market-based calculation is more accurate and has become the mainstream method used in recent years.

  • *3

    Total energy consumption is the total amount of purchased power converted into primary energy. Totals will therefore differ from numbers in tables.

  • *4

    Chemical substances specified by Japanese law

  • *5

    Recycled volume: refers to everything other than landfill disposal.

  • *6

    Hazardous waste volume: “Waste as defined by the laws of each country.” In Japan, it refers to specially controlled industrial waste.

  • *7

    Final disposal volume: refers to landfill disposal (zero emissions achieved domestically).

  • *8

    Volume consumed: calculated by subtracting waste-water volume from water-intake volume.

  • *9

    Recycling rate: Calculated by dividing recycled volume by the sum of recycled volume and water intake volume.
