- Solar Power Generation
ITOCHU has installed solar panels on the roof of our Tokyo Headquarters and the roof of the adjacent ITOCHU Garden (ex CI PLAZA). These panels started generating power in March 2010. The power generation capacity of the solar panels installed is a total of 100 kW. This is equivalent to the power for 30 regular houses (calculated at approximately 3.0 kW per house). All the clean energy generated is used in our Tokyo Headquarters. This is equivalent to an amount of power used in lighting 3.5 floors in our Tokyo Headquarters (during instantaneous maximum power generation).

- The calculation of GHG uses the GHG Protocol developed by WRI (the World Resources Institute) and WBCSD (the World Business Council for Sustainable Development), and is aggregated according to the Management Control Standards(the control approach).
- The data has been calculated based on the Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance on Environmental Preservation for the Tokyo Headquarters and based on the Act on the Rational Use of Energy and the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures for the Osaka Headquarters, Branches in Japan, business facilities and group companies in Japan. Basic emission factors are used up to FYE 2021, and adjusted emission factors are used for FYE 2022 concerning consumed electricity. From FYE 2020, the data has been calculated based on the CO2 conversion coefficient according to the data of 2018 by country of the International Energy Agency (IEA) for overseas offices and overseas group companies. The data before FYE 2019 has been calculated based on the average of the CO2 conversion coefficient between 2010 and 2012. We used IEA 2019 data for calculation of the figures of FYE 2022.
- From the FYE 2019 data, GHG emissions other than CO2 from energy consumption, are also included. GHG emissions other than CO2 from energy consumption from group companies that emit more than 3,000 t-CO2e per year are aggregated and disclosed.
- We started including “CH4 and N2O emissions associated with pig breeding and excrement management” and “HFC emissions due to leaks from refrigerating equipment, etc.” with FYE 2019 data, and started further including “CH4 emissions associated with wastewater treatment”, “CH4 emissions associated with composting and landfilling waste” and “N2O emissions associated with the use of fertilizer on farms” with FYE 2021 data.
- The global warming potential (GWP: Global Warming Potential) for the calculation of GHG emissions other than CO2 from energy consumption is based on GWP 100 of the IPCC 4th Assessment Report (AR4).
- GHG emissions other than CO2 have several tens to several tens of thousands of times of greenhouse effect compared to CO2, and t-CO2e is used as a unit for expressing that greenhouse effect equivalent to CO2.

Emission intensity is selected mainly from the Inventory Database for Calculation of an Organization’s GHG Emissions through the Supply Chain issued by the Ministry of Environment of Japan and the Inventory Database for Environmental Analysis (IDEA) developed by National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and Japan Environmental Management Association for Industry.
- Calculated from the amount of consolidated fixed assets acquired in the relevant fiscal year using the emission intensity per capital goods price.
- Calculated using various emission intensities for fuel, heat, and purchased electricity collected during Scope 1 and Scope 2 calculations. Emissions from the generation of wholesale and retail electricity are also included in this category.
- 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.
- Calculated based on various waste and wastewater emissions intensity for the entire ITOCHU Group.
- Calculated based on the consolidated accounting data of the ITOCHU Group. The emissions intensity is used for each type of business trip.
- The consolidated commuting expenses are estimated based on ITOCHU’s commuting expenses and the number of employees, and then the figure is calculated using the emission intensity of railway commuting.
- The difference between Scope 1 and Scope 2 of franchisees and Scope 1 and Scope 2 of related consolidated subsidiaries of the ITOCHU Group is recorded.

- If we do not know the wastewater discharge, we have calculated it assuming that it is the same as the volume of tap water consumption
- Due to the increase in the number of companies subject to aggregation, the figure for FYE 2019 has increased significantly compared to FYE 2018.
- The amount of wastewater discharge from Japanese Bases of ITOCHU Corporation 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.

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. As of March 2022, we estimate the cost of waste disposal at JPY 10 million, which is a reasonably estimable amount (shadow cost) for future environmental liabilities.
