  1. 1 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.
  2. 2 Until FY 2022, this was calculated by multiplying the GHG emissions and revenue of individual subsidiaries worldwide by the applicable Toray Industries' equity share. Starting in FY 2023 however, the calculation method will change, and the degree of financial control Toray Industries has over the individual subsidiary (not the equity share) will be used.
