Data on GHG

GHG Emissions in 2025

Category Scope 2025
(1,000 t-CO2e)		 Calculation Method
Scope 1 Direct GHG emissions 184
  • Calculated by multiplying fuel usage by the emission factor corresponding to each type of fuel
Scope 2 Indirect GHG emissions based on market standards 817
  • Calculated by multiplying the emission factor published for each contracted supplier by the electricity consumption used for each supplier
Indirect GHG emissions based on location standards 779
  • Calculated by multiplying the emission factor estimated to be the average in a specific region, regardless of the type of electricity, by the electricity consumption used in that region
Scope 3 Supply chain-related GHG emissions 6,773  
Category 1 Purchased goods and services 2,590
  • Calculated by multiplying the weight of each material input (including any inputs emitted as waste) by the emission factor for each material / process.
Category 2 Capital goods 968
  • Calculated by multiplying the amount of purchased capital goods by the emission factors for each asset category.
Category 3 Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2 173
  • Calculated by multiplying the amount of fuel/electricity consumption by the upstream emission factors from extraction to combustion/power generation.
Category 4 Upstream transportation and distribution 370
  • Calculated using upstream transportation distances, transported volume, and emission factors by transportation method.
  • For warehouse storage, calculated by multiplying the transported weight by the emission factor during storage.
Category 5 Waste generated in operations 21
  • Calculated by multiplying the weight of waste by end-of-life treatment type by the corresponding end-of-life treatment emission factors.
Category 6 Business travel 55
  • Calculated by multiplying the total payment amount for each transportation method by the emission factor for each method.
Category 7 Employee commuting 129
  • Calculated by multiplying the total payment amount for each transportation method by the emission factor for each method.
Category 8 Upstream leased assets 0
  • Emissions from the operation of leased assets are included in Scope 1 and Scope 2.
Category 9 Downstream transport and distribution 28
  • Calculated using downstream transportation distances, product transportation weight, and transportation emission factors.

Category 10 Processing of sold products 0
  • Emissions at outsourcing partners for intermediate products are included in Category 1.
Category 11 Use of sold products 2,241
  • Lifetime energy usage is calculated for each product and then multiplied by the average electricity emission factor.
Category 12 End-of-life treatment of sold products 156
  • Calculated by multiplying the material-specific weight of sold products by the end-of-life treatment emission factor for each material.
Category 13 Downstream leased assets 42
  • Calculated by multiplying the annual electricity consumption of leased assets by the electricity emission factor.
Category 14 Franchises 0 Not applicable
Category 15 Investments 0 Not applicable

Canon compiles data for greenhouse gas (GHG; energy-derived greenhouse gas CO2, and non-energy derived greenhouse gases PFCs, HFCs, SF6, N2O, methane, and NF3). For CO2 emission factors for electricity, figures provided by individual electric supply companies are used, but publicly disclosed region-specific figures are used when figures are not provided by electric supply companies.
For the use of sold products, the CO2 emission factor for electricity is based on publicly available regional coefficients, and the average value for the sales region is applied. The electricity consumed by products shipped in the target fiscal year—calculated using assumptions such as average years of use and average number of uses (e.g., prints)—is then converted into CO2 emissions.

Third-party Assurance of GHG Emissions (Converted to CO2)

Third-party assurance has been obtained for CO2 emissions data appearing in "2025 Material Balance" and for each figure in "GHG Emissions in 2025."
