Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

  • Calculations are based on Japanese law.
  • Greenhouse gases include CO2 (carbon dioxide), CH4 (methane), N2O (nitrogen monoxide), HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons), PFCs (perfluorocarbons), SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) and NF3 (nitrogen trifluoride).
  • Calculated by scope according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Initiative classification, as follows.
    Scope 1: Direct emissions of greenhouse gases generated from emission sources owned or controlled by the Company
    Scope 2: Indirect emissions of greenhouse gases from the use of electricity, steam, and heat
    Scope 3: Except for Scope 1 and Scope 2, other indirect emissions covering the upstream and downstream processes of the Company
  • All Scope 3 emissions since 2017 have been revised to reflect changes in Scope 3 Category 1 emission coefficients. For this reason, the total is not the same as the sum of each scope.

    1) Frequency rate
    Lost time injury frequency rate = (Number of lost time injuries / Total number of work hours) × 1,000,000 Total number of work hours is based on actual work hours.

    2) Severity rate
    Labour accident and disaster severity rate = (Number of lost work days / Total number of work hours) × 1,000 Number of lost work days: In the case of death or serious injury = 7,500 days. In the case of temporary disability = The number of calendar days taken off work × 300/365
