Figures for Group companies indicate greenhouse gas emissions from facilities and vehicles owned by each.
The emission factor of electricity has been changed from the basic emission factor to the adjusted emission factor from FY2019.
Since Toll Holdings sold its express business in FY2021, the emissions from the sold portion of the express business are not included from FY2021.

Japan Post Group received independent verification by a third party based on ISO 14064-3 certification criteria concerning its actual greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3) in FY2021.
