Notes:

  1. Toray Group's fiscal 2024 energy consumption, GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3), and industrial waste have been verified by a third party, LRQA Limited.
  2. Toray Industries' fiscal 2024 water use, atmospheric emissions (NOx, SOx, dust, and VOCs), industrial wastewater, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) have been verified by a third party, LRQA Limited.
  3. Emissions of CO2 equivalents for six gases (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6) are calculated according to conversion factors for each gas. There are no NF3 emissions. For Scope 1 group companies outside Japan, only CO2 emissions are calculated.
  4. Until fiscal 2022, this was calculated by multiplying the GHG emissions and revenue of individual subsidiaries worldwide by the applicable Toray Industries' equity share. In fiscal 2023, however, the calculation method changed, and the degree of operational control Toray Industries has over the individual subsidiary (not the equity share) is now used, in accordance with the GHG Protocol international standard.
  5. In fiscal 2023, the Group's PRTR-regulated substances, including those handled outside Japan, have been updated to align with the new legal requirements.
  6. Data corresponding to “industrial waste subject to special control,” as defined in Japan’s Waste Disposal and Public Cleansing Act, is recorded as hazardous waste generated.
