Non-energy GHG emissions are less than 5% of total emissions and therefore not included in the disclosed data.

 

Changes in GHG Emissions Volume Generated by Sales Activities

(Unit: Tons)

  Fiscal 2020 Fiscal 2021 Fiscal 2022
Total emissions from the use of sales fleet 12,980 12,697 12,378

When it cannot be directly measured, CO2 emissions are estimated based on fuel purchase costs, annual average fuel usage by company vehicles or private vehicles (if used in sales activities) and other factors. Figures do not include data from Asia/Oceania region (with partial exception).

*1 Raw materials delivered to all production sites (globally) are included from fiscal 2022. Data for newly added overseas production bases has been retroactively adjusted for previous fiscal years (fiscal 2015, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021). 
*2 The method of ascertaining the capital investment amount, which is an activity amount, was revised and has been retroactively adjusted for previous fiscal years (fiscal 2015, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021).
・Software (intangible assets) purchase amounts have been recorded as non-current assets.
・Acquisition values of land and right-of-use assets have been excluded.
・Construction in progress aggregation method has changed** (amount reclassified from construction in progress to property, plant and equipment is the amount applied as the amount of activity).
**Category 2 data was revised as of Sep 11th, 2023 because we had applied the amount of "Construction in progress", not the amount transferred to tangible assets, to calculating GHG from capital goods.
*3 GHG emissions from the transportation of products and other goods at overseas production facilities for which Astellas is the shipper are disclosed starting from fiscal 2022 results. This data has been retroactively added for previous fiscal years (fiscal 2015, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021).
*4 Revised the application method for the emissions coefficient (from Tank to Wheel to Well to Wheel), thus data has been retroactively adjusted for previous fiscal years (fiscal 2015, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021).
*5 Based on the number of employees commuting to a workplace and the number of days worked, taking into account the typical attendance rate, and adjusted as follows, data has been retroactively adjusted for previous fiscal years (fiscal 2015, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021).
・Changed to expand the scope of aggregation (from Astellas Pharma Inc. standalone to the entire Astellas Group)
・Revised the application method for the emissions coefficient (people. number of days worked coefficient used from fiscal 2022)
*6 Part of Astellas facilities have been leased to another company since fiscal 2022.
Please refer to Calculation Method for Scope 3 Emissions for calculation criteria for each category.
