CO₂ Emissions Throughout the Entire Value Chain
CO₂ Emissions Throughout the Entire Value Chain
Casio identifies and calculates the greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) produced by its business activities as well as emissions from sources upstream and downstream in the overall value chain (Scope 3). However, some of the categories in Scope 3 are omitted from the calculations or have been deemed inapplicable, and calculations have not been made for those. The results for fiscal 2022 are shown here.

For calculation of location-based and market-based CO2 emissions, please refer to the Calculation Standards.
For Scope 3, calculations are not made for category 9 (downstream transportation and distribution) because of the difficulty of identifying such emissions and since the volume of greenhouse gas emissions can be deemed considerably less than in category 4.
Calculations are also not made for category 10 (processing of sold products) because it is considered that service business such as putting names on products carried out by Group companies falls into this category, and calculations are made for the greenhouse gas emissions related to these activities.
Calculations are not made for category 14 because Casio does not operate a franchise business.
Scope 3 accounts for an extremely high percentage of emissions compared to Scope 1 and Scope 2, amounting to 95.6% of overall emissions. This is the same pattern noted in the previous fiscal year, and is an important factor to consider when assessing greenhouse gas emissions related to Casio’s activities.
Category 1 (purchased goods and services) in Scope 3 accounts for 72.4% overall, and in reducing emissions from Casio’s activities overall, initiatives targeting category 1 in Scope 3 are particularly important.
