1 Purchased goods and services (282,278) 632,093 606,018 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.
