Goals and Results

Third party assurance for results:Sagawa Express Varification Statement
Scope of varification: The following figures for Sagawa Express Co.,Ltd.
・Scope1、2、3 Emisson
・Energy consumption within the Scope1 and 2

Medium- to Long-term Goal

Boundary Medium- to Long-term Goal
SG Holdings Group Scope1・2
  • 2030:46% reduction in CO2 emissions(*compared to FY2013)
  • 2050:Aim to becme carbon neutral
Scope3 Engage in reduction of emissions throughout the entire supply chain

*Reduction level: In line with Japan's emission reduction targets. Including offsets using carbon credits,etc.

*Prerequisites: Realization of the 2030 power generation mix* in the Sixth Strategic Energy Plan
(*59% non-fossil:36-38% renewable energy,20-22% nuclear power,1% hydrogen and ammonia)

*If there are changes in the reduction level of prerequisites due to social conditions,the emission reduction target may be reviewed.

  • Japan, Other:Scope1 and Scope2 emissions include emissions of all companies in Japan except for Sagawa Express. As for Scope 3, FY2019 emissions include emissions of only four companies: World Supply, Sagawa Global Logistics, SG Realty and SG Motors. The boundary has been expanded to all Group companies in Japan except for Sagawa Express from FY2020 onwards.
  • EXPOLANKA :Emissions of only Expolanka Freight (Private) Limited are included. (Its Scope 3 emissions of consignment transportation include emissions related to only land transportation.)
    The scope of some categories in Scope 3 was changed from FY2023.
  • Overseas, Other: Scope 1 emissions include only those of SG Sagawa Ameroid. Scope 2 emissions of SG Sagawa Vietnam (specifically of only its two warehouses) are included.

【Calculation method】

  • Scope1 (Fuel・Gas): Calculated by multiplying fuel and gas consumptions by corresponding emission factors, etc. in the "List of calculation methods and emission factors for calculation, reporting, and publication systems" based on the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures. CO₂ emissions from biological sources (biogas combustion) are not included.
  • Scope1 (Fluorocarbon):Calculated by multiplying the amount of leakage of each type of fluorocarbons by the global warming potentials in accordance with the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.
  • Scope2 (Electricity):Calculated by multiplying electricity consumption by corresponding emission factors, etc. from "Emission factors by electric utility (for calculation of GHG emissions of specific emitters) ー R4 Results ー R5.12.22" published by Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. (For sites where the electricity supplier is unknown, the "national average emission factor" for the subject year is used.)

【Calculation method】

  • CO₂ emissions are calculated by multiplying the amount of fuel and gas used by the applicable emission factors, etc. in the "List of calculation methods and emission factors for calculation, reporting, and publication systems" based on the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures. CO₂ emissions from biological sources (biogas combustion) are not included.
  • HFCs emissions are calculated by multiplying the amount of leakage by the global warming potentials in accordance with the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.
  • Greenhouse gases except for CO₂ and HFCs are not subject to calculation because their emission amount is not considerable.
