*1 [Main Calculation Standards and Emission Factors]
Non-consolidated and consolidated: Operational control approach. Calculated based on GHG Protocol "Emission Factors from Cross Sector Tools_V2.0_0", International Energy Agency (IEA) Emission Factors 2024, and the IPCC 2006 Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
For the non-consolidated basis, calculations up to FY March 2025 were conducted in accordance with the Act on the Rational Use of Energy (Energy Conservation Act) and the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.
*2 Certain unincorporated joint ventures (Un-incorporated JVs) and consolidated subsidiaries are included in the reporting scope.
*3 ·Where double counting of the same emission source among companies within the reporting boundary is evident, emissions are allocated to one entity only.
·Where it is not possible to identify into which final products sold intermediate products are processed, such intermediate products are excluded from the calculation scope.
·Trading transactions are defined as transactions in which products manufactured, produced, or processed by third parties are purchased by the Company and sold to processors, end consumers, etc.
Transactions with so-called traders, where processors or end consumers cannot be identified, are excluded.
*4 Categories 1 and 11: Energy-related emissions are calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA).
*5 Categories 6 and 7: Calculated with reference to the Ministry of the Environment's Emission Factor Database for Accounting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions throughout the Supply Chain.
Calculated on a non-consolidated basis through FY March 2025 and on a consolidated basis from FY March 2026.
*6 Category 10: Emissions from iron ore and coking coal used as steelmaking raw materials are calculated by allocating emissions generated during crude steel production based on weight ratios.
*7 Category 15: Primarily based on actual data, with some estimates derived from LCI databases (e.g., IDEA) and input-output models.
*8 From FY March 2026, non-consolidated time-chartered vessels have been reclassified from Scope 3 Category 4 to Scope 1.
*9 From FY March 2026, emissions from unincorporated joint ventures (Un-incorporated JVs) over which the Company does not have operational control have been reclassified from Scope 1+2 to Scope 3 Category 15.

In addition, Scope 1+2 emissions from unincorporated joint ventures over which the Company has operational control are now accounted for at 100% instead of on an equity-share basis.
*10 From FY March 2026, all material business investments have been added to Scope 3 Category 15 as consolidated (other investments not included above).
*11 For FY March 2026, third-party assurance was obtained for non-consolidated domestic outsourced transportation (where the Company acts as the shipper) for the period from April to December.
*12 GHG emissions from the combustion of biomass fuels such as wood and plant residues, which are not included in any Scope 1-3 emissions for FY March 2026, amounted to 64 thousand t-CO2e.
*13 Data are obtained either directly from operational sites of the relevant businesses or, in some cases, only from the headquarters locations of business entities (parent companies/SPCs).
*14 Where wastewater volume is unknown, wastewater volume is assumed to equal water withdrawal volume for calculation purposes.
