CO2 emissions from the supply chain of our Group were 2,833 thousand t-CO2 (FYE 03/23). 99% of the total emissions were Scope3 emissions of 2,817 thousand t-CO2, including CO2 from customers’ gas consumption (61%) and the procurement of gas and electric power sources that we sell to customers (38%), as we focus on retail business without upstream energy business. We aim to reduce CO2 emissions at customer sites through optimal energy utilization.
