Estimated value of avoided emissions in the supply chain by Environmental Contribution Products		Nippon Shokubai Group	1,000 tons-CO2	990*4	1,080*4	1,180*4	1,040*4	910

1. Due to the revision of the Act on Rationalization of Energy Use and Shift to Non-fossil Energy (Energy Conservation Act), the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures (Global Warming Countermeasures Act), and the Act on Rational Use and Appropriate Management of Fluorocarbons (Fluorocarbons Act), the calculation method has been revised from the fiscal 2023 results.
2. Calculated based on the GHG Protocol and includes GHG emissions from non-energy sources not subject to calculation under the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.
3. Includes offset from the purchase of carbon offset city gas, formerly known as carbon neutral city gas (FY2022: 61,000 tons-CO₂ per year, FY2023: 62,000 tons-CO₂ per year, FY2024: 58,000 tons-CO₂ per year, FY2025: 58,000 tons-CO₂ per year)
4. Revised due to a review of the estimation method

<Scope 3 calculation method>
Cat. 1: Calculated by multiplying physical volume data of products purchased or acquired by the company by emissions unit values for each product from the resource extraction
　　　 stage to the manufacturing stage
Cat. 2: Calculated by multiplying the value of newly acquired fixed assets by the emissions intensity
Cat. 3: Calculated by multiplying physical volume data such as fuel, electricity, and heat purchased by the company by the emissions intensity from the resource extraction stage
　　　 to the transportation stage
Cat. 4: Calculated by applying the calculation method for specified consignors under the calculation, reporting, and publication system
Cat. 5: Calculated by multiplying the outsourced amount by waste type and processing method by the emission intensity by waste type and processing method
Cat. 6: Calculated by multiplying the number of employees by the emissions intensity
Cat. 7: Calculated by multiplying the number of employees by work type and city class by the number of business days per year and the emissions intensity
Cat. 8: Only leases within the group, not applicable as they are calculated in scope 1 and 2 of group companies
Cat. 9: Not calculated due to difficulty in collecting data necessary for calculation
Cat. 10: Not calculated due to difficulty in collecting data necessary for calculation
Cat. 11: Not calculated due to difficulty in collecting data necessary for calculation
Cat. 12: Calculated by multiplying the sales volume of each product by the emission factor for each product (Products with a sales volume of 100 tons or more are covered, and the
　　　　coverage rate is 99% or more.)
Cat. 13: Only leases within the group, not applicable as they are calculated in scope 1 and 2 of group companies

2. Recycling ratio = (Quantity of recycling)÷(Quantity of waste generated)×100
3. In Japan, the calculation is based on the definition of “Specially Controlled Industrial Waste” as stipulated in the Waste Management and Public Cleansing Law. Outside Japan, the total amount of waste equivalent to Specially Controlled Industrial Waste is calculated independently of local laws and regulations, based on the Japanese definition.
