  • 1) Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
    Scope 1 Calculation
    Japan: Calculated based on the Act on Rationalizing Energy Use and Shifting to Non-fossil Energy (Energy Conservation Act) and the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures (Global Warming Act)
    • Emissions relating to the electric power business (supply of electricity to other companies) and transport by Group-owned vehicles are included.
    • CO2 emissions from the use of waste tires and waste plastics purchased as fuel have been accounted for since FY2023.

    Overseas: Calculated based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Standard
    • GHG emissions from waste incineration (without energy recovery) are excluded.
    • GHG emissions from waste disposal and wastewater treatment are excluded.
    • Non-energy GHG emissions resulting from quicklime production (at lime kilns) are excluded.

    Scope 2 Calculation
    Japan: Basic emissions factors of individual electric power companies published by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry
    Overseas: IEA-published CO2 emission factors by country in 2010.
  • 2) 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.

  • 1) Emissions associated with activities up to the production of purchased raw materials, components, goods, and sales-related materials are included. 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 (2024)” 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 that our companies leased. 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 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 operating leased assets that our companies leased.
  • 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.

  • ・ The amount of AOX in wastewater from overseas pulp mills averaged 0.001-0.16 (kg/t-pulp).
    It is well below the 0.2 (kg/t-pulp) AOX amount published in EU BAT (Best Available Technology) 2010.
    There is no regulation value for the amount of AOX in wastewater from pulp mills in Japan, and the results of a survey conducted in 2006 by the Japan Paper Association secretariat proved that AOX can be controlled through ECF conversion.

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)The number of trees planted within the owned natural forests.
  • 4)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.

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