Environmental Accounting

We promote efficient environmental management by introducing environmental accounting to clarify the expenses incurred by our sites in Japan for their environmental protection activities.

Environment Maintenance Costs

The contents of the table are listed in the following order: Classification: Cost amount (million yen): Investment amount (million yen): Main items Cost within business area: 2,212: 1,343: None Breakdown of costs within business area (pollution prevention cost): 959: 115: Air, water quality , monitoring and measuring noise, vibration, and soil, and preparing for and responding to emergencies Breakdown of costs within the business area (global environmental conservation costs): 96:66: Control of emissions of ozone-depleting substances, water quality improvement, exhaust gas purification, Resource saving Breakdown of costs within business area (global warming prevention costs): 703:1,162: Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, energy saving Breakdown of costs within business area (resource circulation costs): 454:0: Waste management/outsourced processing, Waste reduction/recycling activities　Upstream/downstream costs: 10:-:: Product-related environmental impact improvement activities, green procurement Management activity costs: 568:-: Environmental management system construction and operation, certification maintenance inspection, environmental education, secretariat costs, departmental operation costs Research and development costs: 132:-: Research and development costs for improving the environmental impact of products, processes, etc. Social activity costs: 21:-: Donations to environment-related organizations, participation in global environmental conservation events Environmental damage response costs: 157: -: None Total: 3,100: 1,343

Environment Maintenance Effectiveness

We calculate the economic effects only for those activities clearly improving our environmental impact.

The contents of the table are listed in the following order: Classification: Economic effect (million yen): Quantity effect *: Main items Energy saving effect: 498: 7,400kL: Improved productivity, improved energy management method Resource saving effect: 51: 2,916t: Reduction in materials and resource usage Waste reduction/recycling effect: 3,351: 6,366t: Improved recycling rate Total: 3,900
  • *
    "Effects on amounts" indicate the calculated difference with the case where no activities are conducted to improve our environmental impact.
  • *
    No penalties related to the environment have been paid.

Trends in Environmental Accounting

This is a graph of costs and benefits in millions of yen from FY2019 to FY2023. The cost for FY2019 is 2,393 and the benefit is 1,976. The cost for FY2020 is 2,786 and the benefit is 2.167. The cost for FY2021 is 3,616 and the benefit is 3,201. The cost for FY2022 is 3,818 and the benefit is 3,256. The cost for FY2023 is 4,443 and the benefit is 3,900.

Environmental Accounting Standards

  • 1.
    The sum total of the costs for complying with environment-related laws and regulations, the costs incurred purely for the purpose of improving our environmental impact, and the EMS operation costs are calculated. However, in cases where environmental preservation costs partially overlap the costs for other purposes, the latter shall be deducted and the balance shall be applied.
  • 2.
    Depreciation costs shall be the current fiscal year's depreciation expenses at the environmental conservation facilities.
  • 3.
    If a clear-cut distinction cannot be made between the environmental cost and that for other purposes, if 50% or more of the content is environment-related, the full amount can be counted as the environmental preservation cost.
  • 4.
    The cost-effectiveness by saving energy is yielded from the reduction of either the rated dissipation or the operating time or both.
  • 5.
    The cost-effectiveness by reducing and recycling waste is calculated as follows:
    Lowered costs through reducing waste and recycling =
    [Unit cost of waste treatment in the prior fiscal year (JP¥/ton) – Unit cost of waste treatment in this fiscal year (JP¥/ton)] × Amount of waste generated (tons)
