  • Emission Factors:
  • For fuels:
    Both domestically and internationally, the data is based on the calorific value of each fuel type and emission factor for fuel use as specified in the Law Concerning the Promotion of Measures to Cope with Global Warming. However, in cases where information such as calorific value is provided by the supplier, that data was used.
  • Biogenic GHG emissions are not present.
  • From FY2020, tenants, stores, warehouses, etc., were added to the scope of data calculation. This includes company vehicles, but not energy usage through outsourcing.

  • Emission Factors
  • Electricity:
    For Japan data, adjusted emission factors for each electric utility specified in the Law Concerning the Promotion of Measures to Cope with Global Warming are used.
    For International data, IEA (International Energy Agency) emission factors for each country are used.
  • Cooling and heating water:
    Emission factors provided by the supplier are used.
  • No biogenic GHG emissions are present.
  • Starting from FY2020, tenants, stores, warehouses, etc., have been included in the scope of data calculation. This includes company vehicles, but not energy usage through outsourcing.
  • For locations where the usage amount cannot be verified, such as stores and warehouses, electricity consumption is estimated from the floor area.
  • Domestic locations include Non-energy derived carbon dioxide, Methane (CH4), Nitrous oxide (N2O), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), Perfluorocarbons (PFC), Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and Nitrogen trifluoride(NF3). Overseas locations include only energy-derived CO2.
