Scope 3 emissions were calculated based on the Basic Guidelines on Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain issued by the Ministry of the Environment (https://www.env.go.jp/earth/ondanka/supply_chain/gvc/business/files/ tools/supply_chain.pdf), and by reference to the Ministry of the Environment's Report on Emissions Unit Values for Calculation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, etc., by Organizations Throughout the Supply Chain. Version 2.3 is used through FY2022, and version 3.4 is used from FY2023

[Scope of Calculation]
- Scope 1, Scope 2: Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd., domestic affiliates/subsidiaries ((1)-(4) and (10)-(12) in the map at the beginning of this section), and overseas affiliates/subsidiaries ((5)-(9) in the map)
- Scope 3 Cat. 1-7: Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd., SDP Global Co., Ltd., San Chemical Co., Ltd.
- Cat. 12: Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd., SDP Global Co., Ltd., San Chemical Co., Ltd., certain products sold by overseas affiliates/subsidiaries
- Cat. 15: Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd.

Changed the CO₂ conversion factor for purchased raw materials to "IDEA Ver. 2" of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in FY2022 Before FY2021: "Common Unit CO₂ Conversion Database ver. 4.01," Ministry of the Environment of Japan, Carbon Footprint System Pilot Project
Only leases within the group; calculated for Scopes 1 and 2
Not calculated due to difficulty in collecting necessary data for calculation
Until FY2021, biomass feedstock was deducted from the total, but from FY2022, the calculation was changed to be done without deduction, and the figures until FY2021 were also revised accordingly. Scope 3 total values were revised accordingly.
Out of scope as there were no relevant activities

Scope 3 for FY2022 has been revised due to a flaw in the calculation formula when the emission factor was changed.
