- Scope and concept of calculation for past years
-
Calculation Period From April 1 to March 31 each fiscal year Calculation Scope ORIX Group Companies in Japan and overseas (including affiliated companies) Basic Concept - Calculations are performed by multiplying the reduced amount of activity among customers or society as a whole due to ORIX Group’s business activities by CO2 emissions factors.
- For calculation of business activities in Japan, in principle the emissions factors we use are “alternate values” under the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting, Reporting, and Disclosure System (Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures).
Emissions Factors
FY2018.3 0.000512 t-CO2/kWh
FY2019.3 0.000500 t-CO2/kWh
FY2020.3 0.000488 t-CO2/kWh
FY2021.3 0.000470 t-CO2/kWh - For calculation of overseas business activities, in principle, we use emissions factors from each country.
- Calculations also include CO2 reduction credits redeemed during the calculation period after being acquired by ORIX Group.
- We calculated CO2 avoided emissions based on our ownership ratio.

[Notes]
・ Change in emissions factors: Beginning from data for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, we have changed the calculation for emissions related to electricity consumption to the market-based method.
・ Emissions from coal-biomass co-fired power plants: ORIX operates two coal-biomass co-fired power plants in Japan. One is Soma Coal and Biomass Power Plant in Soma City, Fukushima Prefecture, which started operations in March 2018. The other is Hibikinada Coal and Biomass Power Plant in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, which started operations in December 2018. Each of these power plants has a total generating capacity of 112 MW. Emissions from these two plants for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 were 793 thousand t-CO2e.

Calculation Scope | ORIX Corporation's industrial waste*1
*1 The waste subject to calculation is the industrial waste generated from business activities as defined in the Japanese law “The Waste Management and Public Cleaning Act”, such as cinder, sludge, waste oil, waste acid, waste alkali, waste plastics and other specified waste. |
Calculation Method |
*2 A document describing the type and quantity of industrial waste that, under the Waste Management and Public Cleaning Act, must be issued by a business that generates industrial waste and entrusts the disposal of such waste to another company. |
[Notes]
・ ORIX Corporation moved its headquarters in May 2021. Therefore, the amount of waste temporarily increased for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.
