・ For “freight ton-kilometers as a designated shipper classified under the Energy Saving Act of Japan” in category 4, “business travel” in category 6, and “employee commuting” in category 7, we have estimated total values across the calculation
boundary in terms of the proportion of production volume or employee numbers based on the values counted for organizations whose activities are quantifiable.
