※3 This is the reinjection of cooled wastewater from pumped groundwater. There is no other discharge into the ground or wells.
※4 This figure is calculated by subtracting the volume of effluent from the volume of water withdrawn. Please note that due to factors such as water evaporation and rainwater contained in the effluent, this figure does not correspond to the volume of water directly used in manufacturing.
※5 Accounting process is here.
※6 The CCBJH Group uses the Coca-Cola system’s global thermal conversion factors for calculations.

※8 Aqueduct : A global tool for water risk assessment developed by WRI. It is used to assess water risks of the area in which the plant is located from the perspectives of the amount of water, its quality, regulations, and reputation. The water risk area is assessed on a scale of 1 to 5, from low to extremely high, based on location information.
