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. 2.6)” 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 “Database on Emissions Unit Values for Calculation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, etc., by Organizations Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver. 3.4)” of the Ministry of the Environment of Japan. 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. |

[Pollution prevention]
| All data related to air and water pollution | SHIONOGI Group companies in Japan (excluding small offices such as branches and sales offices) |
[Calculation methods]
Nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions |
Amount of NOx discharged from specified facilities under the Air Pollution Control Act NOx emissions = NOx concentration in exhaust gas × Exhaust gas volume |

Amount of SOx discharged from specified facilities under the Air Pollution Control Act SOx emissions = SOx concentration in exhaust gas x Exhaust gas volume |
Particulate matter emissions |
Amount of particulate matter discharged from specified facilities under the Air Pollution Control Act Particulate matter emissions = Particulate matter concentration in exhaust gas × Exhaust gas volume |
BOD pollution load |
BOD: The amount of oxygen consumed when organic matter in water is decomposed through the biochemical reaction of aerobic microorganisms Pollution load = Drainage volume x BOD concentration |
COD pollution load |
COD: The amount of oxygen consumed when organic matter and other substances in water are oxidized with an oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate Pollution load = Drainage volume x COD concentration |
N (nitrogen) |
The amount measured according to the Ministry of the Environment Notification No. 77 of December 2001 (Method for measuring the amount of pollution load related to nitrogen content) |
P (phosphorus) |
The amount measured according to the Ministry of the Environment Notification No. 78 of December 2001 (Method for measuring the amount of pollution load related to phosphorus content). |
Reporting Guidelines
The Environmental Reporting Guidelines 2018 of the Ministry of the Environment of Japan are used as a reference.
