* From FY2022, the data categories were reorganized.
◆ Only CO2, among other GHG, is the subject for KOSÉ.
◆ For data related to GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) and water (intake, discharge, usage amounts), we have obtained third-party verification for FY2020–FY2022. Third-party verification is also planned for 2023.
