GHG Emissions (Scope 1 and 2)
Group GHG emissions for FY2022 were 2,823 kt-CO2e due to increases in production volumes, while direct GHG emissions reductions due to energy saving and other activities in FY2022 amounted to approximately 6 kt-CO2e. Additionally, the solar power plant operated by SMM in Kashima, Ibaraki Prefecture helped to reduce emissions by approximately 1.5 kt-CO2e in FY2022.
Scope 1:
Direct GHG emissions generated by a business (due to fuel consumption, industrial processes, etc.)
Scope 2:
Indirect GHG emissions generated through the use of electricity, heat, and steam supplied by other companies
Scope 3:
Indirect GHG emissions not covered by Scopes 1 or 2 (emissions from other companies with a connection to the business’ activities)

(kt-CO2e)
| Japan | Overseas | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 11 | 484 | 1,480 | 1,965 |
| Scope 22 | 854 | 4 | 858 |

- 1.Both Japan and overseas figures are calculated based on the GHG Protocol, and emission factors are based on the Japanese law “Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures”
- 2.GHG emissions factors for electric power purchased in Japan are the adjusted emissions factors of electric suppliers
For China and Taiwan, the latest emission factors published by the governments of those countries are used
For Vietnam, the default emission factor compiled by The Climate Registry (TCR) (2011 national emission factors published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in 2013) is used
