Independent Verification Report
To: Marui Group Co., Ltd.
1. Objective and Scope
Japan Quality Assurance Organization (hereafter “JQA”) was engaged by Marui Group Co., Ltd. (hereafter “the Company”) toprovide an independent verification on “Marui Group’s FY2021 GHG emissions calculation report (Scope 1, 2 and 3)”, “MaruiGroup’s FY2021 water consumption calculation report”, “Marui Group’s FY2021 waste disposed calculation report”, “MaruiGroup’s FY2021 Fuels and HFCs Usage calculation report” and “Marui Group’s FY2021 Usage of electricity and the thermalusage calculation report” (hereafter “the Reports”). The content of our verification was to express our conclusion, based on ourverification procedures, on whether the statement of information in the Reports was correctly measured and calculated, inaccordance with the “GHG emissions calculation rule, ver.6”, the “Water consumption calculation rule, ver.3” and the “Waste
disposed calculation rule, ver.2 ”(hereafter “the Rules”). The purpose of the verification is to evaluate the Reports objectively andto enhance the credibility of information regarding GHG emissions and other environmental data in the Reports.
*The FY (fiscal year) 2021 of the Company ended on March 31, 2022.
2. Procedures Performed
JQA conducted verification in accordance with “ISO 14064-3” for GHG emissions and usage of electricity, thermal, fuels andHFCs, as well as with ISAE3000 for the data of Water and Waste. The scope of this verification assignment includes Scope 1(direct GHG emissions derived from the usage of fuels and hydrofluorocarbons), Scope 2 (indirect emissions derived from theusage of electricity and the thermal usage) and 15 categories of Scope 3. Scope 1 and 2 covered energy-derived CO2 emissions
and hydrofluorocarbons such as R-22, R-32, R-404A, R-407C, R-410A, R-134a and R-123 (hereafter “HFCs”). The data ofWater and Waste covers Total water used, Total wastewater, Total municipal water supplies, Fresh surface water, Fresh groundwater, Water returned to the source of extraction at similar or higher quality as raw water extracted and Total net fresh water
consumption for the water consumption; and Total waste, Waste Recycled (including food waste), % of Recycled material, Total
waste disposed (including food waste). Usage of electricity, thermal, fuels and HFCs covered same as Scope1 and 2. The
verification was conducted to a limited level of assurance and quantitative materiality was set at 5 percent of each environmental
total data in the Reports. The organizational boundaries for Scope 1 and 2 included 69 domestic sites, for Water included 43
domestic sites, and for Waste included 40 domestic sites.
Our verification procedures included: Performing validation to check the Rules prior to the Site Visit
 Visiting three sampling sites, which were selected by the Company, for Scope 1 & 2, Water and Waste
 Holding on-site assessment to check GHG source and monitoring points for CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and HFCs
usage (Scope 1); monitoring points for Water and Waste; calculation scenario and allocation method; monitoring andcalculation system; and its controls for overall Vouching: Cross-checking the GHG emissions, Water and Waste data against evidence for all sampling sites
 For Scope 3, performing validation of integrated functions to check the Rules, and checking calculation scenario andallocation method; monitoring and calculation system; and emission data against evidence
3. Conclusion
Based on the procedures described above, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the statement of theinformation regarding the Company’s FY2021 GHG emissions, Water data, Waste data and usage of electricity, thermal, fuelsand HFCs in the Reports, summarized in the table below, is not materially correct, or has not been prepared in accordance withthe Rules.

4. Consideration
The Company was responsible for preparing the Reports, and JQA’s responsibility was to conduct verification of GHG emissions
and other environmental data in the Reports only. There is no conflict of interest between the Company and JQA.
