* CO2 conversion factor of greenhouse gas emissions
Electric power: Disclose market-based emissions. In Japan, we use the adjusted emissions factors for the load serving entities (i.e., utilities) from which our sites
purchase electricity, pursuant to Load Serving Entity Emission Factors announced by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
Overseas, we use the emission factors of the electricity retailers contracted at each site or the emission factors of the IEA (International Energy Agency) for each
country. The emission factor is set to zero for the amount of renewable energy certificates and J-Credits utilized.
Fuel: The factors announced by the IPCC in 2019 were used for both domestic and overseas data.
GHGs other than CO2: Equivalents were calculated based on 100-year GWP values in the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the IPCC. AR6 is used from 2024
onwards.

* Calculations for FY2017, 2023, and 2024 are based on the latest SBT standards.
* Some intermediate products are excluded from the calculation of category 11, including device products and printheads, because it is virtually impossible to
reasonably estimate a calculation of energy consumption as customer products, and watches powered by primary batteries, because they are not accounted for in scope 1 and 2 for end-users.
* Biogenic CO2 emissions exist separately from scope 3 emissions (43 t-CO2 in FY2024).

Category 1: Factors of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) are used after FY2022. IDEA LCIA IPCC 2021 GWP 100a
(latest Ver. 3.4)
Category 4: Used WTW (well-to-wheel) of the latest emissions intensity of GHG Protocol, GLEC, and IDEA.
Category 11: Used the global average of the latest IEA Emissions Factors.
Other: Used the latest version of the emissions intensity database available at Ministry of the Environment.
Calculation method
Category 1 | Multiplied the mass of materials that comprise sold products by their emission factors. For items other than raw materials and components, the calculation is done by multiplying the cost under each accounting item by the corresponding emission factor. |
---|---|
Category 2 | Multiplied the capital expenditure in each investment account by emission factors |
Category 3 | Multiplied the amount of each type of energy used at each site by their emission factors |
Category 4 | Emissions from transportation to Epson of products and services purchased from suppliers, and emissions from the transport of goods by Epson, were calculated by multiplying the mass of transported goods and the distance transported by emissions factors. Emissions associated with distribution centers are calculated by multiplying the mass of cargo handled by the emissions intensity. |
Category 5 | Multiplied the amount of each type of waste generated at each site by their emission factors |
Category 6 | Multiplied the transportation expenses for each transportation mode expenses by their emission factors |
Category 7 | Multiplied the transportation expenses for each transportation mode expenses by their emission factors |
Category 8 | For emissions from the operation of leased assets (excluding those not already included in scope 1 or scope 2 inventories), the floor area of leased buildings was multiplied by emission factors (if the amount of electricity purchased from the tenant-owner cannot be determined directly) |
Category 9 | Multiplied the sold product not shipped by Epson and the average distances of transported volumes by their emission factors per unit |
Category 10 | Excluded (because it is virtually impossible to reasonably estimate a calculation of processing by customers for device products and because the emissions are neglibible in relation to the total emissions) |
Category 11 | Multiplied the estimated electricity consumption over the lifetime of sold products by an emission factor |
Category 12 | Multiplied the mass of each type of waste treated by the emission factor for each type of waste treatment |
Category 13 | Not applicable (We have no assets leased to customers) |
Category 14 | Not applicable (We have no franchise business) |
Category 15 | Affiliate emissions multiplied by the equity share. |
Third-party verification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
We have a third party verify our calculations to ensure reliability. Our FY2024 GHG emissions (scopes 1, 2 and 3) , energy use and retired reductions data were verified as having been measured and calculated accurately, and a independent verification report was obtained.
