Notes

  • For trading transactions involving third-party products, revenue recognition is based on IFRS 15 Revenue Recognition, and only applies when the Group is the principal in the transaction.
  • For transactions within the Sumitomo Corporation Group, double counting within the group is excluded only when double counting is clearly identified for the same emission source, for the purpose of eliminating double counting within the group.
  • For emissions related to Cat4/9 transportation, domestic transportation of low significance is excluded.
  • For intermediate products sold, if the processing process up to the final product cannot be identified, they are excluded from the calculation.
