8 Leased assets (upstream)

 N/A Included in scope 1 and 2.

9 Transportation and distribution (downstream)

 Excluded Excluded because Alps Alpine products are intermediate products and emissions cannot be reasonably calculated.

10 Processing of sold products

 Excluded Excluded because intermediate products sold are processed into a large variety of finished products, making it difficult to ascertain emissions and therefore calculations cannot be reasonably performed.

11 Use of sold products

 t-CO2 450,307 385,001 496,020 Consolidated *3

12 End of life treatment of sold products

 Excluded Excluded because emissions cannot be reasonably calculated as it is difficult to ascertain the disposal status of the finished products into which intermediate products sold are incorporated.

13 Leased assets (downstream)

 N/A Not applicable because there are no corresponding business activities.

14 Franchises

 N/A Not applicable because there are no corresponding business activities.

*1 Calculations of GHG emissions (scopes 1, 2 and 3) for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022 have received third-party assurance from SOCOTEC Certification Japan. GHG emissions for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022 were recalculated using calculation standards defined by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).

*2 Figures from fiscal 2022 onward exclude Alps Logistics due to the company changing from a consolidated subsidiary to an equity-method affiliate.

*3 Excludes logistics businesses
