-
The scope of data collection includes all domestic and overseas bases.
-
2.
-
Greenhouse effect coefficient (GWP): Used AR5, the 100-year coefficient in the 5th IPPCC periodic report since fiscal 2021 in accordance with the COP24 international agreement. Used AR4 for fiscal 2013 to 2020.
-
3.
-
The calculation of emissions other than CO2 uses the IPCC inventory & (default) emission factors (IPCC1996 Tier2c factors) in accordance with the calculation guidelines of the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.
In addition, emissions due to SF6 use (proprietary inventory) in high-voltage manufacturing processes have also been added.
The default values (90%, 95% for NF3 only) are used for the exclusion rate of exhaust gas elimination systems for the etching process of semiconductors.
However, in each inventory for product HFC refrigerant filling processes and SF6 insulating gas filling processes, actual measured values are used instead of default emission coefficients.

Since fiscal 2017, we have been undergoing third-party verification within the year following the year under review with respect to calculation methods, data sources, calculation processes, and companywide totals.

1.
-
Total waste is the amount of unnecessary articles created during production activities (industrial waste, general waste, and valuable waste).
-
2.
-
Ratio of waste sent to landfills is calculated as follows: Waste sent to landfills ÷ Total waste
-
3.
-
In fiscal 2021, landfill waste increased due to difficulties in recycling fluorine sludge into cement overseas.

Hazardous waste: Hazardous waste: Under Japanʼs Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act, businesses are responsible for all of the industrial waste they generate (including the issuing of manifests and final disposal). This law does not distinguish between hazardous waste and non-hazardous waste. We consider hazardous waste to be harmful waste materials and we therefore retallied our figures according to the following types of waste: waste oil, waste acid and waste alkali, organic and inorganic sludge, and used activated carbon.

Sewerage includes the drainage sent to general sewage treatment facilities in industrial parks.
Rivers and waterways include direct discharge to sea areas, drainage that has seeped underground, and evaporation at factories. However, it does not include the amount of drainage from rainwater at factories.
