※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 From the 2023 results, the heat conversion coefficient for electric energy use has been changed from a primary energy equivalent amount base to a physical amount base conversion.This change has been applied retroactively, and energy consumption for 2021 and 2022 has been converted on a physical volume basis. Note that energy consumption for 2021 and 2022 based on primary energy equivalent amounts before the change is for 2021 (manufacturing: 5,751,545 GJ, offices: 702,612 GJ, sales equipment operating in the market: 9,252,004 GJ) and 2022 (manufacturing: 5,872,046 GJ, offices: 706,900 GJ, sales equipment operating in the market: 8,925,547 GJ).
