*The table above shows calculations for the Company's non-consolidated results and covers 96.0% (percentage of non-consolidated net sales to consolidated net sales) of our business scope as of FY2023.

  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 (3) Total water withdrawn is calculated based on the amount of water used per employee is calculated using the actual results at Sansan offices where the amount of usage per person can be determined, and the value is then multiplied by the total number of employees. In addition, due to the refinement of the aggregation method, the results prior to fiscal year ended May 31, 2022 have been recalculated.
  4. (4) 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.
