The guidelines below were used for the calculation. We will continue to improve calculation accuracy.

  • Technical Guidance for Calculating Scope 3 Emissions – Supplement to the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting & Reporting Standard (GHG protocol (WRI/WBCSD))
  • Database of emissions unit values for accounting of greenhouse gas emissions, etc., by organizations throughout the supply chain (Ver. 3.1) (Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry)
  • IDEA Ver.3.1 (for calculation of supply chain greenhouse gas emissions)
  • LINTEC CORPORATION
  • LINTEC CORPORATION, SHONAN LINTEC KAKO, INC., TOKYO LINTEC KAKO, INC.
  • Agatsuma Plant, Kumagaya Plant, Chiba Plant, Tatsuno Plant, Shingu Plant, Komatsushima Plant, Mishima Plant, Doi Plant, of LINTEC COPORATION, TOKYO LINTEC KAKO, INC.

  • ★1Scope 3: While Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are generated by the reporting company, Scope 3 GHG emissions are generated by other companies in the reporting company’s value chain.
  • ★2“Not applicable” items are judged to be outside the scope of calculation. “-” indicates that the item is applicable but not calculated because calculation is technically difficult.
  • ★3Included in Category 4, as the cost of transportation of products is basically borne by our company.

Calculation method by category

Slide to view.

Category 1 The value and amount of each purchased raw material or service multiplied by an emissions factor
Category 2 The amount of capital investment multiplied by an emissions factor
Category 3 GHG emissions associated with the production of purchased fuel, electricity, steam, etc. and their annual volume of purchase multiplied by an emissions factor for each fuel
Category 4 Targeting domestic logistics, the weight of purchased raw materials multiplied by an emissions factor
Category 5 The amount of waste by type discharged from production sites multiplied by an emissions factor
Category 6 The number of employees multiplied by an emissions factor
Category 7 The number of employees in each region and their number of days of attendance multiplied by an emissions factor
Category 12 The purchase quantity by type of material less the portion disposed of, multiplied by an emission factors for each type
