Results of efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and energy consumption

In fiscal 2016, the amount of GHG emitted by the entire group increased by 5,000 tons-CO₂e compared with fiscal 2015. Specifically, the sites inside Japan increased their emissions to 197,000 tons-CO₂e from 195,000 tons-CO₂e in fiscal 2015 and the sites outside Japan, to 296,000 tons-CO₂e from 293,000 tons-CO₂e in fiscal 2015 (see G1).
The amount of energy used by the entire group increased by 2,000 kL compared with fiscal 2015. Specifically, the sites inside Japan increased their usage to 88,000 kL from 87,000 kL in fiscal 2015 and the sites outside Japan, to 126,000 kL from 125,000 kL in fiscal 2015 (see G2).
Energy usage is broken down into 92% for SCOPE 2 and 8% for SCOPE 1 (see G3).
Improvement in energy intensity, which we aim to achieve in the medium term, was 17.3% in fiscal 2016 (see G4).
We will continue to review production processes with a focus on core products to further improve the production efficiency for lower energy usage.

• Note: Changes in the conversion factor have a major impact on greenhouse gas calculations, so the medium environmental targets were set according to energy consumption (crude oil equivalent), a factor that has measure able results.
• Note: Greenhouse gas emissions are calculated using GHG Protocol factors (electricity by country).

Efforts on Indirect Emissions Other than from Energy Use (SCOPE 3)

We have ascertained that our greenhouse gas emissions from purchased goods/services were 295 kilotons-CO₂e (group), 7,136 tons-CO₂e (domestic sites) from commutes, 532 tons-CO₂e from business trips (domestic sites), 4,627 tons-CO₂e from disposal and processing of waste (domestic sites) and 30,200 tons-CO₂e from transporting products (group).
