ESG Data

  • Unless otherwise noted, FY (Fiscal Year) means the year starting April 1st. For example, FY2022 means April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023.
  • For both absolute values and percentages, numerical values that fall below the shown number of digits are rounded off. For this reason, the sums of individual numbers may differ from the sum values provided.
  • Numerical values shown in red indicate corrections from the previous year.
  • The scope of calculations covers companies in JSR Group’s RC reporting boundary.
    For companies in this RC reporting boundary, please refer to the link below.
  • In FY2023, we plan to obtain third-party assurance for our GHG emissions. We will inform stakeholders when this process is completed.
  • In April 2022, JSR transferred the Elastomers Business to ENEOS Corporation.
    Therefore, numerical figures up to FY2021 include the Elastomers Business, and numerical figures may vary significantly from FY2021 to FY2022.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain

Scope3 1,129 1,038 870 1,067 437
    [Calculation method]
  • ・GHG emissions are calculated in accordance with the Act on Rationalizing Energy Use and Shifting to Non-Fossil Energy and the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures of Japan.
  • ・Emission factors in the "Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculation, Reporting, and Disclosure System" (published by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan) are applied.
  • ・For the emission factors of electricity purchased from electric utilities in Japan, the latest emission factors (adjusted) for each electric utility published by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry are applied. If individual emission factors for electric utilities are not available in other regions, the country-specific emission factors of “Emissions Factors 2022” published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) are applied.
  • ・Calculations are made using emission factors and emissions unit values in the "Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculation, Reporting, and Disclosure System" (published by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan) based on the “Basic Guidelines on Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain (ver.2.5)” (published by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry of Japan) and the “Domestic Emissions Unit Value Databases for Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain (ver.3.3).”
