- ※1Criteria for calculating carbon dioxide emissions set forth by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), an initiative requiring companies to set science-based carbon emission reduction targets.
- ※2The scope of the calculations is based on the consolidated group of companies in FY2025. As PT. Lautan Organo Water was excluded from the consolidated group at the beginning of FY2025, its emissions are not included in the FY2025 figures.
In light of this change, the GHG emissions for the reference year have been adjusted based on the current scope of the calculations, and the reduction rates have been recalculated.
Additionally, the GHG emissions figures for the reference year have been updated with regard to Scope 3 to reflect the enhanced accuracy of the collected data.
In addition, Scope 3 GHG emissions have been revised for the base year to reflect improvements in data accuracy. - ※3Four or more days out of work
- ※4This does not indicate that the upper limit (special clause) stipulated in Agreement 36 has been exceeded
Identification Process
- Keyword extraction
- Assessment of
