Calculation Method for Scope 3
Calculations of Scope 3 for Japan and overseas are based on the emission intensities from Japan's Ministry of the Environment DB*14 and IDEA (Inventory Database for Environmental Analysis) Ver.3.2.0.
Category | Calculation Method | Scope & Emission Intensity, etc. | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1. Purchased goods and services | Before the FYE 3/2022 results Data used: Purchase price of raw materials, etc. (millions yen) Calculation method: Purchase price of raw materials, etc. × emission intensity per raw material, etc. From the FYE 3/2023 results onward Data used: Purchase weight of raw materials, etc. (t) Calculation method: Purchase weight of raw materials, etc. × emission intensity per raw material, etc. ・Calculated by multiplying the purchase weight of major raw materials and packaging materials (paper, plastic, cardboard, steel, aluminum, glass) related to the food and pharmaceutical businesses by the IDEA emission intensity (For "pharmaceutical active ingredients, raw powders, raw liquids" among major raw materials, since there is no weight intensity, it is calculated by multiplying the purchase price by the IDEA emission intensity.) ・From FYE 3/2023, the calculation method has been changed from the Ministry of the Environment DB*14 based on purchase price to IDEA Ver.3.2.0 based on purchase weight (for "pharmaceutical active ingredients, raw powders, raw liquids" for which there is no emission intensity for weight, the emission intensity for purchase price of IDEA was used). |
Scope: All production-related sites of Meiji Group*12 All production-related sites of Meiji Seika Pharma Co., Ltd. Group*13 All production-related sites of KM Biologics Co., Ltd. Meiji Food Materia Co., Ltd. and Meiji Feed Co., Ltd. added from FYE 3/2024 Emission intensity: IDEA Ver.3.2.0 emission intensity per fuel usage volume and the inter-industry table of the Ministry of the Environment DB*14 |
||||||
2. Capital goods | Data used: Capital investment price (millions yen) Calculation method: Capital investment price (millions yen) × emission intensity of capital goods |
Scope: Meiji Group*15 Emission intensity: Emission intensity per price of capital goods in the Ministry of the Environment DB*14 |
||||||
3. Fuel- and energy-related activities (not included in Scope 1 and 2) | Data used: Each energy consumption volume (electricity, steam, fuel) Calculation method: Energy consumption of purchased amount × emission intensity per energy type usage |
Scope: Meiji Group*15 Emission intensity: Emission intensity per electricity and heat usage volume in the Ministry of the Environment DB*14 Emission intensity per fuel usage in IDEA Ver.3.2.0 Fuel added from the FYE 3/2023 |
||||||
4. Upstream transportation and distribution | Data used: Purchase weight of raw materials (tons) Calculation method: ①Purchase weight of raw materials × factor obtained from the transportation scenario (travel distance: 500km, 10-ton truck with a loading ratio of 60%) ②CO2 emissions from Meiji Co.’s logistics (specific consignors) Calculated by adding ① and ② |

||||||
8. Upstream leased assets | Not applicable (Included in Scope 1 and 2) | - | ||||||
9. Downstream transportation and distribution | Data used: Total product sales volume (tons) Calculation method: Total product sales volume (tons) × intensity obtained from the transportation scenario (using 10-ton truck with a 10% load rate) |
Scope: All production-related sites of Meiji Group*12 All production-related sites of Meiji Seika Pharma Co., Ltd. Group*13 All production-related sites of KM Biologics Co., Ltd.
