Indicator

Calculation methods

Scope 1

CO2 emissions resulting from fuel use

Calculation methods:

Based on the “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting and Reporting Manual (Ver. 4.9)” of the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan

CO2 emission factors:

Based on the “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting and Reporting Manual (Ver. 4.9)” of the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan

Scope 2

CO2 emissions resulting from purchase of electricity and steam

Calculation methods:

Based on the “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting and Reporting Manual (Ver. 4.9)” of the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan

CO2 emission factors:

Electricity (Japan) (location-based): National average emission factors from “Emission Factors by Power Suppliers (for the calculation of GHG emissions by specified emitters) (FY2021 results)” published by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan (January 24, 2023, partially revised on May 26)

Electricity (Japan) (market-based): Adjusted emissions factors from “Emission Factors by Power Suppliers (for the calculation of GHG emissions by specified emitters) (FY 2021 results)” published by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan (January 24, 2023, partially revised on May 26)

Electricity (China) (both location-based and market-based): FY2022: No. 43 National Grid Average Emission Factor (2022) in Climate Letter [2023] No.43 of Office of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of China /before FY2021: Emissions Factors (2019) of the International Energy Agency (IEA)

Steam (both location-based and market-based): Emissions factors from the “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting and Reporting Manual (Ver. 4.9)” of the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan

Scope 3

 
 Category 1

CO2 emissions from activities up to the manufacturing of raw materials, parts, purchased goods, and sales-related materials, etc. (hereafter goods purchased)

Calculation methods:

Based on the “Basic Guidelines on Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver. 2.5)” of the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, the emissions are calculated by multiplying the purchase price by the emission factor for “Pharmaceuticals” in “[5] Emission Factor Based on the Input-Output Table” in the “The Database on Emissions Unit Values for Calculation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, etc., by Organizations Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver. 3.3)” of the Ministry of the Environment of Japan.

(In addition, in response to the fact that “prices include consumption tax” was added as a point to note regarding emission intensity (in Japan) in the database (Ver. 3.3), CO2 emissions have been calculated using the emission intensity based on prices including consumption tax since FY2022. In line with this, GHG emissions in or before FY2021 have been recalculated using the emission intensity based on prices including consumption tax.)

The purchase price includes transportation costs associated with the purchase of purchased goods and does not include amounts related to the purchase of services other than the above.

 Category 2

CO2 emissions resulting from the construction and manufacturing of own capital goods

Calculation methods:

Based on the “Basic Guidelines on Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver. 2.5)” of the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, calculated by multiplying the acquisition cost of capital goods by the emissions factor for “pharmaceuticals” in “[6] Emissions factor per unit price of capital goods” in the “The Database on Emissions Unit Values for Calculation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, etc., by Organizations Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver. 3.3)” of the Ministry of the Environment of Japan

(In addition, in response to the fact that “prices include consumption tax” was added as a point to note regarding emission intensity (in Japan) in the database (Ver. 3.3), CO2 emissions have been calculated using the emission intensity based on prices including consumption tax since FY2022. In line with this, GHG emissions in or before FY2021 have been recalculated using the emission intensity based on prices including consumption tax.)

 Category 3

CO2 emissions resulting from procurement of fuels required for the generation of electricity purchased

Calculation methods:

Based on the “Basic Guidelines on Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver. 2.5)” of the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, calculated using “7. Emission Unit Values per Use of Electricity and Heat” in the “The Database on Emissions Unit Values for Calculation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, etc., by Organizations Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver. 3.3)” of the Ministry of the Environment of Japan

 Other categories

Total of Categories 4, 5, 6, 7 and 12, excluding Categories 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14 and 15 that are not included in our own corporate activities or are reported under other categories

Calculation methods:

Based on the “Basic Guidelines on Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver.2.5)” of the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan

Energy consumption

 

 Total energy consumption

Total calorie-converted values for purchased energy (gasoline, other fuel oils, LPG, LNG, town gas, electricity, steam)

Calculation method:

Fuel is expressed as the sum of calories calculated using calorie conversion factors under the “Ordinance for Enforcement of the Act on Rationalizing etc. Energy Use” converted into MWh units with a rate of 3.6GJ per MWh. Note that calorie conversion factors disclosed by providers were used for town gas. Electricity is expressed as the sum of purchase volumes (MWh) without conversion to primary energy

 

 Gasoline

Amount of gasoline purchased, including fuel for sales force vehicles

 Other fuel oils

Amount of kerosene, light oil, and heavy oil A purchased

 Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)

Amount of LPG purchased from gas suppliers

 Liquefied natural gas (LNG)

Amount of LNG purchased from gas suppliers

 Town gas

Amount of town gas purchased from gas suppliers

 Electricity

Amount of electricity purchased from power suppliers

 Steam

Amount of steam purchased from steam suppliers

Reporting Guidelines

The Environmental Reporting Guidelines 2018 of the Ministry of the Environment of Japan are used as a reference.
