＊1 Scope 2 emissions are calculated using the market-based method for Japan and IEA emission factors under the location-based method for overseas operations.

＊2 Items previously classified under Category 9 were reclassified to Category 4 after an error in their classification was identified. Figures for prior fiscal years have also been retrospectively reclassified.

＊3 “Not applicable” indicates categories that are not applicable due to the nature of the Company’s business or that the Company has determined to be of low materiality.

＊4 “Not applicable” indicates categories that are not applicable due to the nature of the Company’s business or that the Company has determined to be of low materiality.

＊5 Water consumption intensity is calculated in the main text using “production value,” based on an internal price indicator, as the denominator to better reflect the actual conditions of the Company’s business. In this table, it is calculated using “net sales” as the denominator to enhance comparability for external stakeholders. As the calculation bases differ, caution should be exercised when directly comparing the figures.
