3.About Shinhokoku Material Corp.’s efforts to reduce CO2

Figure 2 Supply chain emissions

Scope1 : Direct emissions of greenhouse gases by business operators (fuel combustion, industrial processes)

Scope2 : Indirect emissions associated with the use of electricity, heat and steam supplied by other companies

Scope3 : Indirect emissions other than Scope1 and Scope2 (emissions from other companies related to business activities)

From the Ministry of the Environment websitehttps://www.env.go.jp/earth/ondanka/supply_chain/gvc/#

In formulating the plan, we adopted the “Basic Guidelines for Calculating Greenhouse Gas Emissions Through the Supply Chain” introduced by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as guidelines for calculating emissions. We calculated direct emissions and indirect emissions in the supply chain (Fig. 2), and set specific initiatives to achieve the plan. (Fig.3)

Fig. 3 Details of specific initiatives

For Scope 1 and Scope 2, CO2 reduction is realized by reviewing external factors such as equipment and power contracts, but Scope 3 involves activities involving our own activities, technical improvements, and development.

We will work to prevent global warming by gathering the knowledge and technology we have cultivated so far and creating products with new value.
