Environmental

  • In FY2022 changes were made to the scope of our reporting on environmental data as a result of the establishment of our 2025 Environmental Action Plan. As such, these changes have been retroactively applied to the data from FY2018 through to FY2021, and the results from these years have been re-calculated.

  • Emissions levels without taking into account CO2 reductions resulting from cogeneration: 312,493 t-CO2
  • The values for energy are arrived at by multiplying the units of energy generation by the sum of the following: the quantity of each fuel used. For units of energy generation (excluding electricity usage), we use values from Japan’s Ministry of the Environment’s “List of Calculation Methods and Emissions Coefficients with Regards to the Systems of Calculation, Reporting, and Announcements” (no official English translation could be found), with 1 MWh of electricity usage converted to 3.6 GJ.
  • In order to increase accuracy, data from past financial years has been retrospectively revised to be in line with newer calculation methods.
  • The value for total waste listed here includes waste connected to automotive parts production. Including construction waste from subsidiaries, the value for total waste is: 23,989 t.
  • The targets of data aggregation in the given period have been revised, as have the values for water usage from past financial years.
