*The table above shows calculations for the Company’s non-consolidated results and covers 95.5% (percentage of non-consolidated net sales to consolidated net sales) of our business scope as of FY2024.

  1. (1) After calculating the consumption per office area using the actual results in certain offices where the consumption can be determined, gas consumption is calculated by multiplying this value by the total area of all offices where gas can be used.
  2. (2) Using the calculation method based on the Energy Conservation Law, total energy consumed is calculated based on the total values of electricity and gas consumption.
  3. (3) Scope 1 is calculated by aggregating direct GHG emissions from the offices and facilities owned by the Company. Scope 2 is calculated by aggregating by indirect GHG emissions from the use of purchased electricity and thermal energy in each office. Scope 3 is calculated by aggregating the GHG emissions of the entire value chain (Categories 1 through 15), excluding Scope 1 and Scope 2. In addition, due to the refinement of the aggregation method, the results prior to fiscal year ended May 31, 2022 have been recalculated. Historical figures have been updated in line with refinements to calculation methods and the scope covered.
