*GHG Scope1: Direct emission from own fuel usage or usage in manufacturing processes of the Company
*GHG Scope2: Indirect emissions from usage of electricity or heat purchased by the Company
*GHG Scope3: Indirect emissions related to processes other than Scope1 and Scope2 (procurement of raw materials, product shipment, usage, and disposal, employee commuting, business trips, etc.)　

1 Eiken Group：Eiken Chemical Co., Ltd. , Eiken China Co., Ltd.
2 Calculated according to Scope 3 items based on the GHG Protocol for items covered by Eiken Group.  The calculation method will be changed from value-based to weight-based starting in FY2022.
3 Regular reports based on the Energy Conservation Act.　Values from  FY2023  are based on the revised Energy Conservation Act.
4 Waste emissions = general waste emissions + industrial waste emissions + recycled waste (including energy recovery)
5 Total amount of waste disposal =total emissions - recycled waste (including energy recovery)

Consolidated: Eiken Chemical Co., Ltd. and Eiken China Co., Ltd.
Non-consolidated: Eiken Chemical Co., Ltd. (all data other than “Consolidated no. employees” is non-consolidated (Eiken Chemical only))

1 In management: Managerial positions of section-manager level or higher
2 Calculated using: Numerator: No. full-time employees leaving the Company within the fiscal year (April 1 to March 31) , Denominator: No. full-time employees as of April 1 of the fiscal year
3 Calculated based on the provisions of the Act on Promotion of Women's Participation and Advancement in the Workplace (Act No. 64 of 2015)
The gender pay gap shows the ratio of women's wages to men's wages.
[All employees] There is no difference in wages for the same work, and the wage gap between men and women is due to differences in the composition of personnel by grade.
[Part/fixed-term employees] A high percentage of men are rehired after retirement with specialties, resulting in a gender wage gap.
4 No. scheduled work hours + no. non-scheduled work hours – annual paid leave and other paid leave
5 Denominator: Number of male employees whose spouse gave birth during the fiscal year;Numerator: Number of male employees who used our company's original leave program for parental leave and childcare during the fiscal year　
(Depending on when the spouse gave birth, employees who take childcare leave in the following fiscal year are included, so the acquisition rate may exceed 100%.)
6 Denominator: Number of female employees who gave birth during the fiscal year; Numerator: Number of female employees who took childcare leave during the fiscal year
(Depending on the time of childbirth, employees who will take childcare leave in the following fiscal year are included, so the acquisition rate may exceed 100%.)
7 Share of employees eligible for detailed clinical tests who undergo such tests at a facility designated by the  Health Insurance Society
8 Since specific health guidance may be conducted over multiple sessions, the completion period may extend into the following fiscal year, which can result in fluctuations in the reported participation rate.
9 Calculated using: Numerator: Total number of days of leave (calendar days) for all employees in each fiscal year, Denominator: Number of employees at the end of each fiscal year
10 Rate of uptake of the Eiken Global Program: No. Program participants in each fiscal year ÷ no. employees of the fiscal year
11 Calculated from the percentage of people who gave positive responses on a five-point scale in the employee satisfaction survey.
12 Includes no. themes continuing from the previous fiscal year
