Certain EHS data includes the results of activities of contractors because the environment and society is affected not only by the Company's own activities but also via the value chain.
In the Environmental Action Plan (Climate Change) report, the scope of aggregation covers all business sites as of the final day of the reporting periods in and outside Japan.

Methods for Calculating Energy Consumption and GHGs
|
Type |
Conversion Coefficients | |
|---|---|---|
| Calorific value | CO2 emissions | |
| Electricity | 3.6 GJ/MWh *2 | --*1 tons/MWh |
| Kerosene | 36.7 GJ/kiloliter | 2.49 tons/kiloliter |
| LPG | 50.8 GJ/ton | 3.00 tons/ton |
| LNG | 54.6 GJ/ton | 2.70 tons/ton |
| City gas | 45.0 GJ/thousand m³N | 2.24 tons/thousand m³N |
| Diesel oil | 37.7 GJ/kiloliter | 2.58 tons/kiloliter |
| Gasoline | 34.6 GJ/kiloliter | 2.32 tons/kiloliter |
| Purchased thermal energy | 1.36 GJ/GJ | 0.057 tons/GJ |
| Steam | 2.8GJ /ton | 0.091 tons/GJ |
*1 To calculate the CO2 emissions resulting from electricity usage, Astellas uses CO2 emission coefficients provided by the electric power companies that supply each business facility (market-based method). In the case of Japan, we use the most recent adjusted emission coefficient of each electric power company announced by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. In other regions where individual coefficients cannot be obtained, we use the latest country-specific coefficients provided in IEA Emissions Factors (2022 edition) published by the International Energy Agency (IEA).
*2 From the disclosure of results for fiscal 2022, the amount of power that we consumed after being generated from purchased electricity and renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics and wind into energy value is converted into Joules at a conversion rate of 3.6 MJ per 1 kWh.
Calculation Method for Scope 3 Emissions
| Categories | Basis for calculation and calculation method | Emission source unit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purchased goods and services |
Based on: Purchase price (millions of yen) Purchase monetary amount of raw material and consumables (excluding consumption tax) x (emission source unit of each raw material and consumable x 1.05) NOTE: VAT was not taken into account in GHG calculation for non-Japan Affiliates. |
Target: (Global) production facilities receiving deliveries of raw materials Emission source unit: ・Source: The Ministry of the Environment's database*[5]; emission source units based on the industry-related table Emission source unit on monetary basis for each raw material (purchaser price basis) (=t-CO2 equivalent / 2005 consumption tax inclusive amount) ・Foreign exchange: Foreign currencies are converted to yen using the annual average of monthly TTM rates. |
| 2 | Capital goods |
Based on: Capital expenditures, software purchases (millions of yen) Facility investment amount (consolidated)* x emission source unit per price of capital goods Software purchase amount (consolidated) x emission source unit per price of capital goods *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). Acquisitions of land, right-of-use assets and intangible assets are excluded. Capital expenditures in Japan includes consumption tax amount. |
Target: Global Emission sourced unit: ・Source: The Ministry of the Environment's database*[6]; emission source units per price of capital goods (Secretariat) Pharmaceuticals 2.83 t-CO2 equivalent / million yen |
| 3 | Fuel and energy related activities (not included in Scope 1 and Scope 2) |
Based on: Consumption of each type of energy (GJ) Usage amount of purchased fuel, electricity, heat, etc. x emission source units per usage amount for each energy type |
Target: Global Emission source unit: ・Source: The Ministry of the Environment's database*[7]; emission source units per usage amount of electricity and heat (Secretariat) ・Source: National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), LCI Database IDEA version 2.3 |
| 4 | Transportation and distribution (upstream) |
Based on: Shipping weight and distance (tons*kilometers), fuel usage (kiloliter), energy consumption (MWh) CO2 emissions during transportation: |
Target: Global Target: Warehouses for product storage in Japan (outsourced) |
| 5 | Waste generated in operation |
Based on: Shipping weight and distance (tons*kilometers) CO2 emissions generated during industrial waste transportation: |
Target: Business facilities and R&D sites in Japan Emission source unit during industrial waste transportation: ・Source: The Ministry of the Environment's database*[2]; Fuel consumption per ton*kilometer transported by loading rate by maximum loading capacity by fuel |
| CO2 emissions generated during industrial waste treatment: Amounts of recycled industrial waste, incineration processing, and direct landfill processing x waster type/emission source unit by processing method |
Emission source unit during industrial waste treatment and landfill: ・Source: The Ministry of the Environment’s database* [8] emission source units by waste type (Secretariat) (excluding waste transportation stage) |
||
| 6 | Business travel (by airplane) |
Based on: Distance traveled (person*kilometer) Number of persons using airplanes x distance between airports for each flight x emission source unit |
Target: Results compiled from airplane flights used worldwide Flight distance between airports: Calculated by assuming flight is a straight line connecting two points on the earth's surface Emission source unit by flight class and distance and well-to-tank emission source unit |
| 7 | Employee commuting |
Based on: Distance traveled (person*kilometer) Number of persons commuting to a worksite x number of work days, taking into account the typical attendance rate x emission source unit |
Target: Global (Number of working days per year in each country) Attendance rate |
| 12 | End-of-life treatment of sold products |
Based on: Weight of containers and packaging (Tons) Usage volume of sold products when end-of-life treatment is approached in line with the laws on recycling containers and packaging x emission source unit |
Target: Japan Emission source unit: ・Source: The Ministry of the Environment's database*[9]; emission source units by waste type (Secretariat) (including waste transportation stage) |
| 13 | Downstream Leased Assets |
Based on: Energy consumption by type (GJ) Amount of fuel, electricity, heat, etc. billed to the leasing company x emission source unit per unit of energy consumption by energy type |
Target: Company facilities being leased to another company Emission source unit Source: The Ministry of the Environment's database*[7]; emission source units per usage amount of electricity and heat (Secretariat) |
Certain EHS data includes the results of activities of contractors because the environment and society are affected not only by the Company's own activities but also via the value chain.
