Scope 1: Direct GHG emissions (LPG, LNG, natural gas, kerosene, heavy fuel oil, gasoline, PFCs, etc.)

Scope 2: Indirect GHG emissions (electricity and steam, etc.) * CO2 conversion factor of greenhouse gas emissions

• Electric power: In Japan, we use the adjusted emissions factors for the load serving entities (i.e., utilities) from which our sites purchase electricity, pursuant to Load Serving Entity Emission Factors announced by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

Overseas, we use the country emission factors listed in IEA (International Energy Agency) or from the load serving entities from which our sites purchase electricity.

• Fuel: The factors announced by the IPCC in 2006 were used for both domestic and overseas data.

• GHGs other than CO2: Equivalents were calculated based on 100-year GWP values in the Fifth Assessment Report of the IPCC. * Totals do not add up in some cases due to rounding off of fractions.

					(categories 1 and 11)

1. Scope 3: Indirect GHG emissions of the entire value chain
2. Data verified by a third party

Calculation method

Category 1	Multiplied the mass of materials that comprise sold products by their emission factors
Category 2	Multiplied the capital expenditure in each investment account by emission factors
Category 3	Multiplied the amount of each type of energy used at each site by their emission factors
Category 4	Emissions from transportation to Epson of products and services purchased from suppliers, and
emissions from the transport of goods by Epson, were calculated by multiplying the mass of
	transported goods and the distance transported by emissions factors
Category 5	Multiplied the amount of each type of waste generated at each site by their emission factors
Category 6	Multiplied the transportation expenses for each transportation mode and lodging expenses by
their emission factors
Category 7	Multiplied the transportation expenses for each transportation mode by their emission factors
Category 8	For emissions from the operation of leased assets (excluding those not already included in scope
1 or scope 2 inventories), the floor area of leased buildings was multiplied by emission factors
Category 9	Multiplied the sold product not shipped by Epson and the average distances of transported
volumes by their emission factors per unit

Category 10	Multiplied the electricity consumed in the processing of intermediate products into finished
products by emission factors
Category 11	Multiplied the estimated electricity consumption over the lifetime of sold products by an emission
factor

Third-party verification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

We have a third party verify our calculations to ensure reliability. Our FY2021 GHG emissions (scopes 1, 2 and 3) and energy use data were verified as having been measured and calculated accurately, and a independent verifica- tion report was obtained.
