  • *1Regarding the gender wage gap, our wage system is based on the grade of the role (job) in which each employee is engaged, and there is no difference in base wages for male and female employees in the same grade; however, the following factors contribute to the differences in their average annual wages. Employees who do not receive their wages due to absenteeism, absence from work or temporary retirement are excluded from the calculation.
    Among permanent workers, the fact that the percentage of female employees in general office work positions is higher than that of male employees is the main factor in the gender wage gap. As for part time workers and fixed-term workers, the majority of them are part time workers; and, the wage levels for part time workers are lower than those for employees rehired after retirement and contract workers, due to reasons such as differences in job level and working hours. The fact that these part time workers are all female workers is a factor contributing to the gender wage gap.
  • *2The number of employees excluding seconded employees is listed.
  • *3Starting from fiscal year 2024, the company shifted from the 'Company-wide Engagement Survey(SMP Opinion)' to a new 'Employee Survey on Company Management'.

  • *2The amount of solar power generation in FY2022 shows only the amount of solar power generation at the Central Research Laboratories due to measuring instrument failure at the Osaka Research Center.
  • *3GHG emissions quantification is subject to uncertainty when measuring activity data, determining emission factors, and considering scientific uncertainty inherent in the Global Warming Potentials.
  • *4In conjunction with the update of Category 9 emissions for FY2023, we are also updating the total emissions for FY2023.
  • *5 CO2 emissions from pharmaceutical wholesalers in FY2024 have not been disclosed. Therefore, CO2 emissions from pharmaceutical wholesalers in FY2023 were used in the calculation of CO2 emissions in FY2024. As for the sales of pharmaceutical wholesalers and the sales of our products in pharmaceutical wholesalers, the sales in FY2024 were used. Furthermore, as the CO2 emissions for the pharmaceutical wholesalers for FY2023 have been disclosed, we have revised the CO2 emissions for FY2023 to reflect this figure in our calculations.
  • *6The project came to a close in September 2023 due to some positive outcomes observed.

Scope 1 (from Energy Sources) +Scope 2 (Location-Based)
Total Emissions
Total of Scope 1 (from Energy Sources) and Scope 2 (Location-Based) emissions
Scope 1 (from Energy Sources) Emissions Fuel consumption × fuel unit calorific value × fuel CO2 emission factor
The unit calorific values and CO2 emission factors are based on "Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting, Reporting, and Disclosure System" which is provided in the "Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures." However, for city gas in Japan, we use basic emission factors or alternative value from "Emission Factors by Gas Suppliers (for the calculation of GHG emissions by specified emitters)" published by the Ministry of the environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan.
As for sites for which we do not have actual fuel consumption data, we have made estimates based on the fuel consumption at similar sites, using floor space ratios and other factors.
Scope 2 (Market-Based) Emissions
and Scope 2 (Location-Based) Emissions
Purchased electricity#3 × electricity CO2 emissions factor#4 + purchased heat × heat CO2 emissions factor#5
#3 It includes solar power generated at our business sites.
#4 《Market-Based》
For domestic sites, adjusted emissions factors from "Emission Factors by Power Suppliers (for the calculation of GHG emissions by specified emitters)" published by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, for overseas sites, the emissions factors by country for 2022 published by the International Energy Agency (IEA). However, we use values provided by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. for sites located on the premises of Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.
《Location-Based》
For domestic sites, the national average emissions factor published by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, for overseas sites, the emissions factors by country for 2022 published by the International Energy Agency (IEA).
#5 Values are based on "Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting, Reporting, and Disclosure System" which is provided in the "Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures." However, for heat in Japan, we use alternative value from "Emission Factors by Heat Suppliers (for the calculation of GHG emissions by specified emitters)" published by the Ministry of the environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan. In addition, we use values provided by Sumitomo Chemical Co, Ltd. for sites located on the premises of Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.
As for sites for which we do not have actual purchased electricity data, we have made estimates based on purchased electricity at similar sites, using floor space ratios and other factors.
