We calculate these costs and effects based on the 2005 edition of the Environmental Accounting Guidelines by Japan's Ministry of the Environment with Kaneka's own unique way of thinking, targeting all parent manufacturing sites and 30 Group companies in Japan (manufacturing companies).

Note: Figures do not include global environment conservation investments and expenditures and research and development investments. Amounts reported here may not fully match, due to rounding.

*2 When calculating fiscal 2022 results for certain business sites in Japan, it was found that positive and negative treatment was reversed for "Cost reductions by better resource efficiency (output per unit of input)" and "Waste disposal cost reductions by recycling." The actual values for fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021 have therefore been revised.

Initiatives to Reduce CO₂ Emission Intensity

• GHG Emissions and Energy Origin CO2 Emission Intensity Index

• Scope 1 and 2 Emissions (Kaneka)

Note: For energy supplier-ownedco-generation systems installed on the Group's premises, emissions have been calculated based on fuel consumption at the facilities. However, from the fiscal 2022 results, we have changed the calculation method to one based on the consumption of heat and power generated at the facilities and purchased by the Group. This has lowered the ratio of Scope 1 to the total amount of Scope 1 and 2 emissions and increased the ratio of Scope 2 emissions.
