  • Energy-related CO2 emissions included in the ITOCHU Group’s Scope1 emissions are calculated by applying the emission factors specified in the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures. Until FY2022, CO2 emissions had been calculated using emission factors before the enforcement of the Revised Act, and from FY2023 with the emission factors specified in the Revised Act. However, CO2 emissions from city gas had been calculated by applying the emission factors (City gas: 2.23 t-CO2/thousand m3N) that were effective prior to the enforcement of the Revised Act until FY2023, and FY2025 was calculated with the emission factors by gas utility published by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as of June 30, 2025.
  • CO2 emissions from electric power generation of Japanese Bases of ITOCHU Corporation and Group Companies in Japan are calculated by applying basic emission factors by electric utility for data up to FY2020 and adjusted emission factors by electric utility for data from FY2021 and onward. The data for FY2025 is based on the adjusted emission factors for each electric utility published by the Ministry of the Environment on January 9, 2026.
  • CO2 emissions from electricity of Overseas Offices and Overseas Group Companies are calculated based on CO2 emission coefficient according to the Emission Factors 2025 of the International Energy Agency (IEA 2025). We used 2023 data from IEA 2025 for calculating the figures for FY2025. However, when specific emission factors provided by electricity suppliers are available, those factors are used instead.
  • CO2 emissions from heat (Non-industrial Steam, Hot Water, and Cold Water) had been calculated using emission factors (Non-industrial Steam, Hot Water, and Cold Water: 0.057 t-CO2/GJ) that were effective prior to the enforcement of the Revised Act until FY2023, and FY2025 was calculated with the emission factors by heat supplier as of June 30, 2025.
  • The figures for the Tokyo Headquarters had been calculated based on the Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance on Environmental Preservation until FY2022, and from FY2023 with the emission factors specified in the Revised Act.
  • CO2 emissions in FY2025 that are not included in any of the Scope1,2 and 3 emissions are 434 thousand t-CO2e, which are CO2 emissions from the combustion of biomass fuels such as wood and vegetable residues.
  • For FY2025, Scope 1 and 2 emissions for some subsidiaries are calculated using estimated values.

  • GHG emissions are calculated with reference to the GHG Protocol developed by WRI (the World Resources Institute) and WBCSD (the World Business Council for Sustainable Development). GHG emissions quantification is subject to uncertainty when measuring activity data, determining emission factors, and considering scientific uncertainty inherent in the Global Warming Potentials.
  • The scope of aggregation covers ITOCHU Corporation (non-consolidated) and its consolidated subsidiaries.
  • Regarding the calculation categories, only Categories 2, 3, 4 (domestic contracted transportation only), 5, 6, 7, and 14 were disclosed up to FY2023. From FY2024, all categories are disclosed.
  • The following transactions are excluded from calculation, if applicable:
    • Transactions treated as agency transactions in accounting and recognized as agency revenue.
    • Transactions with so-called traders where neither the processor nor end-consumer can be identified as the buyer.
    • Transactions between companies included within the scope of aggregation.
  • Emission factor is selected from the Inventory Database for Calculation of an Organization’s GHG Emissions through the Supply Chain issued by the Ministry of Environment of Japan, the Inventory Database for Environmental Analysis (IDEA) developed by National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), etc.
  1. Emissions related to domestic contracted transportation of ITOCHU Corporation as the shipper are calculated based on the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculation and Reporting Manual issued by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
  2. Calculated based on the consolidated accounting data of the ITOCHU Group. The emissions factor is used for each type of business trip. In FY2024, the GHG reduction effect of 100 t-CO2e was included applying “Certificate of CO2 Reduction Effect by SAF” which we purchased through “SAF Flight Initiative” offered by All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd.
  3. For processing of sold intermediate products, calculations are included if the downstream use can be identified and the emissions from the processing process can be reasonably estimated. For iron ore and metallurgical coal (ferrous raw materials), emissions from crude steel production are allocated proportionally by weight.
  4. The difference between Scope1 and Scope2 of franchisees of related consolidated subsidiaries of the ITOCHU Group and Scope1 and Scope2 of those subsidiaries is calculated.
  5. For FY2024, only major in-scope affiliates are included in the calculation.

Avoided Emissions

Avoided emissions is a quantification of the amount of GHG emissions that could be reduced or prevented across the value chain by replacing conventional products and services with those that have lower emissions. International discussions are continuing on the calculation rules for avoided emissions in order to establish a system that is more in line with the actual situation. We will continue to review our own calculation and disclosure methods in light of these discussions.

Valuation Target FY2025 Baseline Calculation Method
Renewable Energy Power Generation

12,863 thousand t-CO2e

Coal-fired Power Generation in Each Country
  • Methodology for calculating annual avoided emissions: Generation capacity x 8,760h x estimated facility utilization rate x emission factor x equity share.
  • Comparison is made only for the avoided emissions in the operational phase of each project.
  • The figures for power plants in which we invest and operate are calculated on a stock basis (single year), while the figures for power plants in which we develop and sell concessions are calculated on a flow basis (lifetime).
  • For power plants that we only operate, and we develop and sell concessions, we multiply the above formula by 70% as our contribution rate.
  • Emission factors are referred to International Energy Agency (IEA) Emission Factors.
Energy Storage

368 thousand t-CO2e

Coal-fired Power Generation in Each Country
  • Methodology for calculating annual avoided emissions: Our sold storage capacity x discharge depth x 365d x emission factor.
  • Assumed that storage batteries are fully charged with renewable energy and discharge it like a virtual power plant (VPP) to replace existing power plants.
  • Calculated on a flow basis (lifetime), assuming a 70% discharge depth and 20 years of operation for the storage batteries we sold. A certain degradation rate is also taken into account.
  • Emission factors are referred to International Energy Agency (IEA) Emission Factors.
Renewable Fuel

9 thousand t-CO2e

Fossil Fuel
  • Methodology for calculating annual avoided emissions: Sales volume x life cycle reduction rate x emission factor.
  • Life cycle reduction rate is a measure of how much GHGs can be reduced over the entire life cycle of a product compared to a conventional product. Assumed to be 80% to 90% for each product.
  • Emission factors are referred to those given in the Energy Efficiency and Global Warming Countermeasures Reporting System of the Ministry of Environment of Japan.

See Attachment 1 of “Enforcement of the Act to Partially Amend the Air Pollution Control Act” (Notice of the Ministry of the Environment, No. 050617001, Kankan Daihatsu, dated June 17, 2005).
  4. VOC emissions from facilities that are not classified as VOC emission facilities under the Air Pollution Control Act are calculated as the total handling amount of VOCs without taking into account the removal rate, even if the facility is equipped with local exhaust ventilation or similar equipment.

  1. The treated water production volume partly contains “City water usage”.
  2. In FY2022, water withdrawal and wastewater volume decreased significantly from the previous fiscal year because the business of the Ippeki villa area was transferred during the fiscal year and is not included in the calculation.
  3. The amount of rainwater used for treated water production has been counted in water withdrawal at the Tokyo Headquarters from FY2023.
  4. The amount of wastewater discharge from Japanese Bases of ITOCHU Corporation until FY2021 includes wastewater from sewage treatment plants that receive and treat sewage from third parties, so the amount of wastewater greatly exceeds the amount of water withdrawal.
  • Water sprayed for irrigation is not included in wastewater discharge.
  • Estimation method when water withdrawal and wastewater discharge are not known;
    for Water withdrawal: using a certain basic unit.
    for Wastewater discharge: assuming the same amount as water withdrawal or using a certain basic unit.

Understanding the Situation of our Environmental Obligations

We do not limit ourselves to just supporting statutory requirements in regards to the environmental risks in the tangible fixed assets (e.g., land and buildings) of ITOCHU alone and our Group companies — in particular, asbestos, PCB and soil contamination; we also look to understand the situation through surveys voluntarily and then aim to respond in a way that is helpful to prompt management policy decisions and judgments. We estimate the cost of waste disposal at JPY 25 million, which is an estimable amount (shadow cost) for future environmental liabilities.
