|---|---|
| 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. |
GHG from purchased energy:
| For Japan | The adjusted emission factors for each energy company specified by the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures (for submission in 2025). |
|---|---|
| For overseas | In principle, emission factors obtained from energy suppliers; where these cannot be obtained, IEA emission factors by country. |
GHG other than CO2:
| For Japan | Factors specified by the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures. |
|---|---|
| For overseas | Actual measurements/derived values in accordance with the laws and regulations of each country (some figures are estimated from a basic unit calculated from the production volume and emissions of certain plants in Japan). |
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.

Calculation Method |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Purchased goods and services | 3,627★ |
[Raw materials and packaging] [Contract manufacturers] |
| 2. Capital Goods | 308★ | Emissions related to the Suntory Beverage & Food Group's capital expenditure are calculated by multiplying the amount of capital expenditure, excluding land and similar items, by emission factors from the Ministry of the Environment database. For barrels, however, emissions are calculated by multiplying the number of purchased barrels by emission factors combining ecoinvent and industry-association statistics. *3 |
| 3. Fuel and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or 2 | 74 | Calculated by multiplying the Suntory Beverage & Food Group's energy consumption by emission factors based on secondary data such as AIST-IDEA and the Ministry of the Environment database relating to the extraction/collection, production, and transportation of the relevant energy resources. *3 |
| 4. Upstream transportation and distribution | 287 |
[Transportation] [Warehousing] |
| 5. Waste generated in operations | 12 | Calculated by multiplying the weight of waste generated by the Suntory Beverage & Food Group by emission factors based on secondary data such as the Ministry of the Environment database. |
| 6. Business travel | 10 | Calculated by multiplying the Suntory Beverage & Food Group's business travel expenses by emission factors from the CEDA database. |
| 7. Employee commuting | 17 | Calculated by multiplying the Suntory Beverage & Food Group's commuting expenses by emission factors from the CEDA database. |
| 8. Upstream leased assets | – | Not applicable *4 |
| 9. Downstream transportation and distribution | 457 |
[Transportation] [Points of sale] |
| 10. Processing of sold products | – | Records the emissions of contract manufacturers when the Suntory Beverage & Food Group sells raw materials to them for processing into products. However, there are currently no applicable cases. |
| 11. Use of sold products | 48 | Calculated by multiplying the atmospheric release of carbon dioxide gas when the Suntory Beverage & Food Group's products are opened by an emission factor, based on the actual carbon dioxide gas usage at manufacturing sites. *5 |
| 12. End-of-life treatment of sold products | 250★ | Calculated by multiplying the purchased/used weight of the Suntory Beverage & Food Group's packaging materials by emission factors combining secondary data such as AIST-IDEA and the Ministry of the Environment database relating to disposal/recycling processing. |
| 13. Downstream leased assets | 412★ | Calculated by multiplying the electricity consumption of the Suntory Beverage & Food Group's leased equipment by emission factors based on secondary data such as the Ministry of the Environment database. |
| 14. Franchises | 21 | Calculated for the emissions of franchise member companies and stores organized by the Suntory Beverage & Food Group, using proportional calculations based on actual data and the actual emissions of the Group's own facilities and directly-operated stores. |
| 15. Investments | – | Excluded from the scope of calculation due to the nature of the business. |
