Category 1 Purchased Goods and Services 92.4 Weight of purchased goods and services (kg) x Emissions intensit LCI Database IDEA v3
Category 2 Capital Goods 57.5 Acquisition cost of capital goods (equipment, etc.) (million yen) x Emissions intensity of capital goods Ministry of the Environment's database※1[6]Emissions intensity per price of capital goods
Category 3 Fuel- and Energy-Related Activities (not included in Scope 1 and Scope 2) 8.0 Scope 1 and 2 energy consumption x Emission intensity for each energy source Ministry of the Environment's database※1[7]Emission intensity per electricity and heat usage
Category 4 Upstream Transportation and Distribution 3.0 Transportation ton-kilometers (t-km) for purchasing and sales x Emissions intensity Ministry of the Environment's database※1[2]Emission coefficient concerning [transportation] in calculation, reporting and announcement systems of the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures (3/3) (3) the ton-kilometer method
Category 5 Waste Generated in Operations 47.1 Amount of waste processed by waste type and processing method (t) x Emissions intensity (1) Ministry of the Environment's database ※1 (8) Emission intensity by type of waste and treatment method (9) Emission intensity by type of waste

Category 7 Employee Commuting 0.4 Number of employees regularly employed x Number of business days per year x Emission intensity Ministry of the Environment's database※1 [14] emission intensity per number of employees and working days
Category 8 Upstream Leased Assets (recorded in Scope 1 and 2) Not subject to calculation This category is not relevant as electricity consumption by leased assets is recorded in Scope 2.
Category 9 Downstream Transportation and Distribution (recorded in Category 4) Not subject to calculation Deliveries where we are the shipper, including deliveries to customers, are included in Category 4. Deliveries to customers where we are not the shipper are not included because it is difficult to obtain data.
Category 10 Processing of Sold Products Not subject to calculation Due to the diverse uses and customer mix of the products sold, and the inability to obtain reliable data, this has been excluded from the scope of calculation in accordance with the calculation guidelines for the chemical sector※2established by the WBCSD.
Category 11 Use of Sold Products Not subject to calculation Due to the diverse uses and customer mix of the products sold, and the inability to obtain reliable data, this has been excluded from the scope of calculation in accordance with the chemical industry calculation guidelines※2established by the WBCSD.
Category 12 End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products 41.6 Weight of products sold (t) x Emissions intensity Ministry of the Environment database※1[9]Emissions intensity by waste type
Category 13 Downstream Leased Assets Not subject to calculation This category is not relevant as we do not lease any assets to other companies.
Category 14 Franchises Not subject to calculation This category is not relevant as we are not in the franchise business.
Category 15 Investments Not subject to calculation This category is not relevant as we are not in the business of investing or providing financial services.
