  • 1) Emissions associated with activities up to the production of purchased raw materials, components, goods, and sales-related materials are included. For FY2025, emission intensities are referenced from the "LCI database AIST-IDEA (Ver. 3.5 Standard Edition)"  and the "Emission Intensity Database for Calculation of GHG Emissions by Organizations Throughout the Supply Chain (ver. 3.5)". For FY2024 and earlier, emission intensities are referenced from the "Emission Intensity Database for Calculation of GHG Emissions by Organizations Throughout the Supply Chain (ver. 3.5)" and the "CO₂ Equivalents Common Intensity Database (ver. 4.01)". For certain overseas subsidiaries, emission intensities obtained from suppliers, “Ecoinvent (ver. 3.11),” and the “Defra GHG Conversion Factors (2025)” are also referenced. Emissions related to vessel transportation from overseas to Japan were included until FY2022. To ensure the use of a uniform calculation method across the Group, these emissions have been excluded and accounted for as category 4: upstream transportation and distribution emissions since FY2023.
  • 2) Emissions from building and producing capital goods of our companies
  • 3)Emissions from processing and generating purchased fuel, electricity and heat.
  • 4)Emissions from transportation and distribution of raw materials, parts, purchased goods and sales materials to our companies. Emissions related to vessel transportation from overseas to Japan were accounted for as category 1: purchased goods and services emissions until FY2022. To ensure the use of a uniform calculation method across the Group, these emissions have been included in this category since FY2023. 
  • 5)Emissions from transportation and disposal of waste generated in our companies
  • 6)Emissions from business travel of employees
  • 7)Emissions from employees commuting
  • 8)Emissions from operation of leased assets leased from third parties by our companies. These are calculated in Scope 1 or 2.
  • 9)Emissions from transportation, distribution, retail and storage of sold products. Emissions from the services purchased by the Group are included in category 4: upstream transportation and distribution.
  • 10)Emissions from processing of intermediate products by other companies. Not calculated for FY2024 and FY2025 due to the necessity of major methodological changes following business expansion.
  • 11)Emissions from use of products by users (consumers, business operators). Since the Group's main sales products, paper products, do not use energy during use, the Group considers that GHG emissions during product use are zero.
  • 12)Emissions from transportation and disposal of products when disposing by users (consumers, business operators). The Group's main sales products are paper products, which emit CO2 when discarded.However, the Group's raw materials absorb CO2 when grown, so the Group's emissions are offset and considered to be zero.
  • 13)Emissions from operation of leased assets owned by our companies and leased to third parties.
  • 14)Emissions by franchises. Since the Group is not the president of a franchise, emissions in this category are considered to be zero.
  • 15)Emissions related to investments management. Since the Group is not an investment or financial institution, emissions in this category are considered to be zero.
  • 16)Estimates for sites that experienced difficulties in the collection of data due to natural disasters were calculated using production volumes and data for FY2019-2021.
  • ・GHG emissions quantification is subject to uncertainty when measuring activity data, determining emission factors, and considering scientific uncertainty inherent in the Global Warming Potentials.

  • 2) Energy consumption is calculated on a crude oil equivalent basis by deducting electricity and steam sold from total energy input.
  • 3)Thermal power generation includes power generation capacity of standby facilities. Thermal power generation refers to the sum of oil, coal, gas, waste and biomass burned alone and mixed burning.
  • 4)The figure represents the total amount of electricity consumed in-house and sold.
  • 5)The figure represents the total of electricity generated (including electricity sold) and electricity purchased.
  • 6)The figure represents the amount of purchased electricity certified as renewable energy through Green Power Certificates and other similar instruments, as well as purchased electricity procured through renewable energy electricity plans offered by electricity providers.
  • 7)A voluntary assessment of the life-cycle GHG emissions of biomass fuels confirmed that emissions are sufficiently lower than those from fossil fuel-based power generation. Details are available on the Oji Green Resources website.
    https://www.oji-green-energy.com/lifecycle-ghg/
  • 8)The amount of reduction is estimated assuming that electric power sales under the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme for renewable energy indirectly reduce CO2 emissions associated with electrity users.
    Implied reduction = amount of FIT electric power sales x national average emission factor
    FIT electric power sales: The amount of electricity from biomass, hydroelectric, and solar power generation sold under the FIT scheme by Group companies in Japan
    National average emission factor: An emission factor used in the calculation of the equivalent amount of CO2 reduced by using non-fossil electric power under the greenhouse gas emissions calculation, reporting and disclosure system

22. Nature-related metrics and targets 1)

Comprehensive and quantifiable nature-related metrics and targets to eliminate and minimize key factors driving the loss of nature and to restore and regenerate ecosystems.

These nature-related targets are aligned with and support the Oji Group's climate change mitigation targets. Restoring natural forests and planting native tree species on land owned by the Oji Group will result in the reforestation of degraded land, increasing CO2 absorption and storage. This aligns with the climate change mitigation target of increasing the net increment in carbon stocks in forests to 50% of the GHG emissions in FY2018 (see Climate Change). Additionally, establishing ecological corridors outside of its owned land will contribute to climate change mitigation by restoring vegetation and increasing CO2 absorption and fixation.

  • 1) The Oji Groups targets were considered and set in accordance with the LEAP approach* implemented by Oji Holdings with the assistance of KPMG AZSA LLC. Programs are implemented by CENIBRA (Brazil). CENIBRA has been committed to ecosystem-friendly business practices and conservation activities for many years. As a result, regular monitoring of flora and fauna since 2002 has confirmed a gradual increase in biodiversity. Going forward, CENIBRA will continue “avoidance and reduction” of the loss of natural capital and biodiversity, and implement “restoration and recovery” under this target.
    * An integrated approach developed by TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures). It assesses and manages nature-related issues in four phases: locate, evaluate, assess and prepare (locate the interfaces with nature across geographic areas, sectors and value chains, evaluate dependencies and impacts on nature, assess nature-related risks and opportunities to the organization, and prepare to respond to nature-related risks and opportunities, including the setting of targets.)
  • 2) Area where planting and other activities were carried out to restore natural forests lost due to windthrow, fire, etc.
  • 3)Starting in FY2023, CENIBRA began forest restoration and the planting of native tree species on its own land through partnerships with local companies. Starting with the FY2026 disclosure, the reporting methodology was changed to include these partnership activities in the results.
  • 4)The number of trees planted within the owned natural forests.
  • 5)The area enclosed by fences in collaboration with landowners to facilitate the revegetation of degraded lands between fragmented natural forests and enable wildlife to move freely.
  • 6)Progress status is as of the end of FY2025.

The validity of the metrics and targets was reviewed by a third party, Kokusai Kogyo Co., Ltd.
