GHG Emissions at Domestic Business Sites (Scope 3) (t-CO2)

Category Scope of calculation 2021 Calculation method
1 Purchased goods and services 282,278 For main Canon products, calculated by adding the direct emissions and intermediate emissions from manufacturing to the number obtained by multiplying weights of product input raw materials by materials and process units, and externally purchased personal computers, servers etc. are calculated by adding the typical model product weight obtained by referencing the CFP value of the other company's server, and other products are calculated by multiplying the sales amount ratio to the main Canon product.
2 Capital goods 10,403 Calculated by multiplying totals for each capital goods purchases category by category units
3 Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or 2 11,307 Total fuel and power consumed at each site totaled and multiplied by units from fuel extraction through combustion/power generation
4 Upstream transportation and distribution 3,209 For distribution arranged by Canon MJ from the warehouse to the business partner/end user, the figure is calculated by multiplying the distance traveled obtained by aggregating each delivery step by the respective environmental load conversion coefficient.
5 Waste generated in operations 64 Materials-specific waste amounts at each site added, multiplied by materials waste disposal units
6 Business travel 7,164 Total payments per transportation mode multiplied by units per mode. For accommodations, total amounts paid converted into average number of nights, for multiplying by accommodation units
7 Employee commuting 6,411 Total payments per transportation mode multiplied by units per mode. In the case of private car commuting, after converting the total mileage associated with commuting to fuel usage, add by multiplying the unit of fuel combustion.
8 Upstream leased assets 0 Encompassing leased buildings and vehicles and included in Scope 1 and 2
9 Downstream transportation and distribution 917 Calculated by determining average transportation distances and weights of distributed products multiplied by transportation units
10 Processing of sold products 0 Not applicable
11 Use of sold products 84,560 Main Canon products are calculated by determining the lifetime power consumption for each product, multiplied by average electric power units, and externally purchased personal computers, servers etc. are calculated by determining the typical model lifetime power consumption, and other products are calculated by multiplying the sales amount ratio to the main Canon product.
12 End-of-life treatment of sold products 13,951 Main Canon products are calculated by classifying the sold products into material categories, and multiplying each material weight by the waste process units, and externally purchased personal computers, servers etc. are calculated by converting to the typical model product weight obtained by referencing the CFP value of the other company's server, and other products are calculated by multiplying the sales amount ratio to the main Canon product.
13 Downstream leased assets 291 Calculated by determining annual power consumption of each leased product multiplied by average power consumption units
14 Franchises 0 Not applicable
15 Investments 0 Not applicable
