  1. *1See Boundaries for Reporting of ESH Data for scope of calculations.
  2. *2The scope of energy consumption includes energy from all sources, including energy purchased from sources external to the entity and energy produced by the entity itself (self-generated). Energy consumed is calculated using 3.6MJ/kWh as the per-unit calorific values of electric power purchased from external.
  3. *3Calculated with the inclusion of the amount of energy sold to other companies.
  4. *4Includes the amount of energy sold to other companies.
  5. *5Total CO2 emissions are calculated for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Category 1 (Purchased goods and services), Category 2 (Capital goods), Category 3 (Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 and Scope 2), Category 4 (Upstream transportation and distribution), Category 5 (Waste generated in operations), Category 6 (Business travel), and Category 7 (Employee commuting) in Scope 3
  6. *6Calculated as the amount of avoided CO2 emissions that the Company's products have contributed to in the supply chain downstream.
  7. *7Includes CO2, methane and N2O.
  8. *8CO2 emissions are calculated with the GHG Protocol as reference. The amount of CO2 emissions equivalent to the amount of energy sold to other companies has not been deducted from this data. In addition, the scope of calculation includes non-energy-derived CO2 emissions from carbon fiber production, calculated based on the chemical reaction balance. With regard to coefficients for fuel, we use emissions coefficients based on the Law Concerning the Promotion of the Measures to Cope with Global Warming. As for emissions coefficients for electricity, we use adjusted emissions coefficients of individual electric power companies for power purchased in Japan. For power purchased overseas, we use power company-specific coefficients, in principle. However, in cases where the power company-specific coefficient is unknown, we apply the latest available IEA country-specific emissions coefficient.
  9. *9Scope 3 emissions are calculated for Category (C)1 (Purchased goods and services), C2 (Capital goods), C3 (Fuel- and energy- related activities (not included in scope1 and scope 2), C4 (Upstream transportation and distribution), C5 (Waste generated in operations), C6 (Business travel), and C7 (Employee commuting).
  10. *10 Covers Scope 3 emissions in Category 1 (Purchased goods and services) except emissions from products purchased in the Fibers & Products Converting Business for the purpose of sale. Category 1 emissions are calculated by multiplying the purchased weight or purchased value of purchased goods and services by the emissions intensity in units of weight or value. Emissions intensity data for monetary units is from Emissions Unit Values for Accounting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, etc., by Organizations Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver. 3.2) (March 2022) (Emissions Unit Values Database V. 3.2), published by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of the Environment. Emissions intensity data for weight units is based on the intensity data of the ecoinvent Database (operated by ecoinvent Association) or the LCA for Experts (GaBi) Database (operated by Sphera).
  11. *11The amount of freshwater intake is the total of industrial water, groundwater and tap water.
  12. *12The per sales unit is calculated by using consolidated net sales as the denominator.
  13. *13Applies to wastewater discharged into rivers, oceans and lakes. Until FY2021, the COD value was used at sites measuring both COD and BOD.From FY2021, the COD values is calculated when discharging into sea areas and lakes, and the BOD values is calculated when discharging into rivers.
  14. *14Among the Class 1 designated chemical substances under the Act on Confirmation, etc. of Release Amounts of Specific Chemical Substances in the Environment and Promotion of Improvements to the Management Thereof and chemical substances indicated by the Japan Chemical Industry Association, chemical substances emissions to atmosphere, water, and soil which are harmful to aquatic environments and the ozone layer in the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) classification defined by the United Nations are subject to the calculation for emissions.
  15. *15Chemical substances handled and chemical substance emissions are calculated for the Class 1 designated chemical substances subject to PRTR under the Act on Confirmation, etc. of Release Amounts of Specific Chemical Substances in the Environment and Promotion of Improvements to the Management Thereof and chemical substances subject to PRTR indicated by the Japan Chemical Industry Association.
  16. *16For the Class 1 designated chemical substances under the Act on Confirmation, etc. of Release Amounts of Specific Chemical Substances in the Environment and Promotion of Improvements to the Management Thereof and chemical substances indicated by the Japan Chemical Industry Association, the emissions are subject to the calculation of atmospheric, soil and water, and landfill amounts within business sites.
  17. *17Corrected the figure in January 2024.
  18. *18Landfill waste volume is calculated based on the amount of waste disposed of directly in landfills.
