  1. Coverage is calculated based on net sales by company.
  2. Scope 1: GHG emitted directly by company facilities, factories, and fleet.
    Scope 2: GHG emitted indirectly by the company due to energy use
    Scope 3: GHG emitted throughout the value chain in relation to products and services
  3. Conversion factors and emission factors are based on the "Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures."
  4. Japan: Adjusted emission factors from the list of emission factors for each electric power company released in accordance with the "Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures" (For submission in 2020)
    Other countries: 2018 emission factors from the IEA Emission Factors 2020, IEA.
    In fiscal 2020, calculation methodology changed to the latest emission factors. The following emission factors were used previously.
    • Japan (fiscal 2016-2019): Adjusted emission factors from the list of emission factors for each electric power company released in accordance with the "Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures" (For submission in 2017)
    • Other countries (fiscal 2016-2017): GHG Protocol 2005
    • Other countries (fiscal 2018-2019): 2016 emission factors from the Emissions from Fuel Combustion 2018, IEA
  5. Emissions intensity is based on the "Common Guidelines for the Method of Calculating CO2 Emissions in the Logistics Field Ver. 3.1."
