The purchase price includes transportation costs associated with the procurement of purchased items and does not include the price for other services purchased.

CO₂ emissions from activities such as the construction and manufacturing of our own capital goods

[Calculation method]

Calculated by multiplying the acquisition cost of fixed assets by the emission factor for “Pharmaceuticals” in “[6] Emission Factors per Unit Price of Capital Goods” in the “Emission Factor Database for Calculating GHG Emissions of Organizations through the Supply Chain (Ver. 3.5)” of the Ministry of the Environment, based on the “Basic Guidelines on Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver. 2.7)” published by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

　Category 3

Energy consumption

　Total energy consumption

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

[Calculation methods]

Fuel is expressed as the sum of calories calculated using calorie conversion factors under the “Ordinance for Enforcement of the Act on Rationalization of Energy Use and Shift to Non-fossil Energy” and converted into MWh units at 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)
