  • * The figures for Dentsu Japan Network (DJN) include its own buildings (Ginza Building, Fukuoka Building, Kousan 1 Building,
    Kousan 3 Building, and Sapporo Building).

Scope and Method of Calculation

  • Excluding some Dentsu Group companies
  • Calculation based on GHG protocol
  • Regarding Scope 1 and 2 emissions, for owned buildings, all equity usage is recorded, including tenant usage
  • Within CO2 emissions, Scope 3 is calculated for all categories (1–15), and values for applicable item categories 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 13 and 15 are listed. (Items that do not apply are not listed)
    From FY2021, the calculation range was expanded (category 1, 3, 4, 13 and 15), accordingly, figures from 2019 (both DJN and DI), the base year of the Medium-term Management Plan, and 2020 figures (DJN) were revised retroactively (LRQA verification is not complete for DJN’s 2019 and 2020 retroactive calculations)
  • The volume of waste generated (in kg) is the sum of general waste and industrial waste (including waste oil, waste plastic)
  • The volume of water resources used is the sum of municipal water and gray water at the Tokyo Head Office, and the municipal water used at the Kansai Branch Office and Chubu Branch Office

Third-party assurance

The rate of women in leadership, the amount of donations, the number of participants in volunteer activities, the hours spent participating in volunteer activities, and CO2 emissions (greenhouse gas emissions) from Dentsu Group are verified, and certification is provided (left), by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance Ltd (LRQA).
