ESG Data

  • Unless otherwise noted, FY (Fiscal Year) means the year starting April 1st. For example, FY2023 means April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024.
  • 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.
  • Numerical figures up to FY2021 include the Elastomers Business.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain

Unit: 1,000 tons-CO2e

Category Boundary FY2019 FY2020 FY2021 FY2022 FY2023
Scope1 JSR Group 408 399 357 34 34
Scope2 564 493 656 184 186
Scope3 1,038 870 1,067 437 741
    [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 Ja-pan) 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 2023” 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 Sys-tem" (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.2.6)” (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.3.4).”
