*1 [Standards/Guidelines for Scope1+2 calculation]
Consolidation: GHG Protocol Control Approach.
Reference to GHG Protocol "Emission Factors from Cross Sector Tools_V2.0_0", International Energy Agency (IEA) Emissions Factors 2024, IPCC 2006 Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
Non-consolidated: Act on Rationalizing Energy Use, Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.
*2 Some Un-incorporated JVs and Consolidated subsidiaries are included
*3 ·Mitsui and consolidated subsidiaries (including Un-incorporated JVs) are calculated according to the control standards (same as Scope 1 and Scope 2)
·Where the same emission source is clearly double-counted among the companies included in the scope, the calculation is consolidated into one side
·In cases where it is not possible to determine into which final product an intermediary product is processed, it is excluded from the calculation
·Trading of third-party products refers to transactions where Mitsui purchases products produced/manufactured/processed by third parties and sells them to processors or end users; transactions with so-called "traders" whose processors or end users cannot be identified are excluded
·Category 1 and 11: Energy-related emissions are calculated in accordance with the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA) guidelines
·Category 10: For iron ore and metallurgical coal (ferrous raw materials), emissions from crude steel production are allocated proportionally by weight
·Category 6 and 7: Emissions are calculated with reference to the Ministry of the Environment's Supply Chain Emissions Calculation Database (Japan)
·Category 15: Some estimates are based on LCA databases (such as IDEA) and input-output models
*4 In some cases, data was obtained directly from project sites, while in other cases, data was only attainable via the head office (parent company/SPC) of the company or companies involved in the project.
*5 Water discharge volume is assumed to be equal to water withdrawal in case of no discharge data
*6 From the fiscal year ending March 2025, the aggregation scope has been revised from "the Head Office and Kansai Branch" to include "the Head Office and all domestic branches". Figures for March 2023 and 2024 have been restated accordingly.
