Nagase & Co., Ltd.

Nagase, Fujitsu, and Zeroboard
Succeed at Data Linkage with PACT Implementation Program ;Established a Scheme for More Accurate GHG Emissions Calculation
Nagase & Co., Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO: Hiroyuki Ueshima)joined the PACT Implementation Program (*1) organized by the World Business Council for Sustainable
Development together with Fujitsu Limited (Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takahito Tokita), a key company inthe supply chain which also plays a central role in the program, and Zeroboard Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo;
President: Michitaka Tokeiji). Targeting the supply chain for notebook computers sold by Fujitsu, primarydata on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at different layers including materials, molding, and assembling
was collected and linked, and the GHG emissions of the final product were successfully calculated. Since
this calculation was based on data collected and linked not only from the direct suppliers of Fujitsu, thedistributor, but from multiple companies including materials and parts suppliers, this is a pioneering casestudy in calculating GHG emissions for the actual supply chain.
This program targeted notebook computers sold by Fujitsu, with Nagase, a trading company specializedin chemicals with a network in the OA equipment industry, collecting data from materials and moldmanufacturers and linking that data using the Zeroboard GHG emissions calculation and visualization
cloud service provided by Zeroboard Inc., a partner company which Nagase has invested in. There havebeen initiatives for companies to collect primary data on GHG emissions from suppliers before now, butcollecting primary data from other companies farther back in the supply chain was considered difficult due
to issues such as the complexity of distribution channels and the workload involved.
Due to its strong network with materials and mold manufacturers, Nagase was able to contribute to gaining
the cooperation of companies which play important parts in the target supply chain: KUNIMORI KAGAKUCo., Ltd. (Tier 1), SABIC's Specialties business (Tier 3), and LOTTE Chemical Corporation (Tier 3).
For calculations of parts made by mold manufacturer KUNIMORI KAGAKU Co., Ltd., Nagase took
advantage of its knowhow from initiatives to support decarbonization management to establish an efficient
calculation model for the resin molding process. This model, which made it possible to efficiently calculate
GHG emissions during processing, contributed significantly to the progress of this program.
With the knowledge on collecting primary data gained through this initiative, and its knowhow on
supporting calculations for molding and processing manufacturers, Nagase will further enhance thesupport it provides to clients dealing with supply chain linkage and contribute to the realization of a carbonfree society.

The results of this program will be reported at the NY Climate Week Scope 3 Summit: From Uncertainty
to impact, which will be held in the US on September 19, 2023 (US time).
*1: Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT): A partnership of companies linking carbon footprint data of products through transparent
exchange of primary data on CO2 emissions throughout the entire value chain.

[Outline of Social Implementation]
As pioneers among Japanese companies, Nagase participated in the PACT Implementation Program
together with Fujitsu and Zeroboard, collecting and linking primary data on the layers that make up thesupply chain for their products, from Tier 0 to Tier 3. These three companies also participated in thedomestic demonstration trial of the Visualization Working Group of the Green×Digital Consortium
organized by JEITA, which launched in 2021.
