*The bondary of GHG emissions is the entire Suntory Group.
Out of 687 thousand tons CO2e in the table above, Scopes 1 and 2 emissions of 643 thousand tons CO2e★ (Scope 1: 481 thousand tons CO2e★, Scope 2: 162 thousand tons CO2★) have been independently assured, which do not include emissions of GHG other than GHG emissions at non-production sites outside of Japan. The reporting boundary for the figures independently assured is as follows:
27 production plants in Japan, 52 production plants overseas, and non-production sites in Japan (offices such as main office, training sites, R&D facilities, sales sites, restaurants and development sites) -
*Emission factors for GHG calculation are as follows:
Fuel:
For Japan: Factors specified by the Act on the Rational Use of Energy and the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.(using values before revision of the Ministerial Ordinance on Calculation)
For overseas: Factors obtained from fuel suppliers or factors specified by the Act on the Rational Use of Energy and the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.(using values before revision of the Ministerial Ordinance on Calculation)
GHG from Electricity consumption:
For Japan: The adjusted emission factors for each electric power company specified by the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures (For submission in 2024).
For overseas: Factors obtained from individual power suppliers or IEA emission factors by country.
GHG other than CO2:
For Japan: Factors specified by the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures
For overseas: Estimated from basic unit calculated from production volume and emissions at plants in Japan (partially based on actual measurements/derived values in accordance with the laws and regulations of each country). -
*The total may not match the sum of each figure due to rounding.
-
*GHG emissions quantification is subject to uncertainty when measuring activity data, determining emission factors, and considering scientific uncertainty inherent in the Global Warming Potentials.
Scope 3 Emissions
Suntory Group (Results for 2024)
Category | Emissions (thousand tons CO2e) |
Calculation Method |
---|---|---|
|
4,880★ |
[Raw Materials and Packages] Calculated by multiplying the weight of raw materials and packaging materials purchased and used for products manufactured and sold by Suntory Group (in Japan and overseas) by the emission factors. A portion of Category 1 GHG emissions are calculated using emission factors calculated from the GHG emissions of suppliers of raw materials and packaging materials. In FY2024, the source of emission factors for raw and packaging materials in Asia and Oceania was updated from IDEA Ver 3.3 to 3.4 last year, and the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO) database was also adopted in some cases. In Europe, emission factors from the Ecoinvent database are mainly adopted. [Contract manufacturers] Calculated by multiplying the volume of the products that Suntory Group (in Japan and overseas) have outsourced to contract manufacturers by the emission factors. |
|
615★ | Calculated by multiplying the amount of capital expenditure excluding land expenditure of Suntory Group by emission factors. The capital investment for barrels is calculated by multiplying the number of barrels by the emission factor. |
|
136 | Calculated by multiplying the amount of energy consumed by Suntory Group by emission factors related to the collection, production, and transportation of applicable energy resources. |
|
458 | Calculated by multiplying the transportation volume in tons-km of goods owned by Suntory Group by emission factors. |
|
14 | Calculated by multiplying the weight of waste disposed by Suntory Group by emission factors. |
|
30 | Calculated by multiplying the amount of business travel expenses of Suntory Group by emission factors. |
|
24 | Calculated by multiplying the amount of commuting expenses of Suntory Group by emission factors. |
|
23 | Calculated by multiplying the storage volume as well as the floor area of distribution centers rented by Suntory Group by emission factors. |
|
253 | Calculated by multiplying the transportation volume in tons-km of Suntory Group by emission factors. |
|
- | None |
|
476 | The emissions of Suntory Group products at the point of sale and atmospheric emissions when products are opened are calculated by multiplying the sales volume and purchase volume, respectively, by an emission factor. |
|
311★ | Calculated by multiplying the weight of packaging materials purchased and used by Suntory Group by emission factors related to disposal/recycling processing. |
|
461★ | Calculated by multiplying the electricity consumption of Suntory Group's leased equipment by the emission factors. |
|
36 | Calculated as Scopes 1 and 2 CO2 emissions from the direct operations of companies and stores franchised by Suntory group. |
|
- | None |
Total | 7,718 |

*The boundary of the scope3 emissions is Suntory Group's bevarage and food, alcoholic beverages and health food business in Japan and overseas. For some overseas group companies, emissions were estimated by using Japan-based emission factors or production volume in Japan.
-
*The emissions at retail stores and other sales outlets, which had been difficult to calculate in the past, is now included in C11.
-
*Emissions of overseas subsidiaries in C13 is now included in FY2024.
-
*Emission factors used to calculate emissions for Japan include the following:
a) "Emission factor database for corporate GHG emissions accounting over the supply chain (Version 3.5)"
b) "LCI Database AiST-IDEA version 3.4" (IDEA Laboratory, Safety Science Research Division, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology) -

At Suntory, there are no differences in wage structure or personnel system between men and women performing the same work. However, there are disparities as shown at left due to differences in average age, years of service, and the ratio of employees in managerial positions, as well as employment of professional athletes, etc. We will continue to increase the ratio of female new hires and female managers in order to eliminate disparities such as those shown at left and to create an organization where each employee can play an active role regardless of gender.
