※1 The CCBJH Group uses the Coca-Cola system’s global thermal conversion factors in accounting.

※2 WRI : World Resources Institute

※3 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 stress area is assessed on a scale of 1 to 5, from low to extremely high, based on location information.

※4 Accounting process is here.

※5 In regard to calculating the electricity use and associated greenhouse gas emissions of office activity, the calculations were conducted by estimation based on the purpose and the number of employees for 19 out of 377 business locations. This was due to reasons such as being unable to obtain an accurate measurement of electricity use at leased office locations.

※6 In addition to vending machines, coolers and dispensers are included in 2021.

※7 In addition to energy-efficient heat-pump type, peak shift vending machines are included in 2021.

※8 The figures in 2021 are revised due to a review of aggregation method in 2023.
