From FYE2020, the figures for chemical oxygen demand (COD) emissions, nitrogen emissions in wastewater and phosphorus emissions have been omitted from disclosure since the amounts of theseemissions have been immaterial. The Group uses water primarily for indirect cooling, and its impacts on water quality is therefore not large. Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries
have five business sites that are subject to restrictions on the concentration of COD, nitrogen, and phosphorous emissions in wastewater. The total amounts of COD, nitrogen, and phosphorous
emissions for all five sites amount to less than one tonne each.

Calculation Methods for Scope 3 GHG Emissions
Referenced Guidelines
Our Scope 3 GHG emissions are calculated based on the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard issued
by the GHG Protocol. For emission factors, we used the emission factor database Ver. 3 provided in the Green Value Chain Platform,
the Inventory Database for Environmental Analysis (IDEA v2) for supply-chain GHG emissions accounting, and information includedin MiLCA Ver. 2, a life-cycle assessment software developed by the Japan Environmental Management Association for Industry.

Reporting Boundary
Unless otherwise specified, the data covers Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries.

Calculation Method by Category

Category 1
Purchased goods and services

Calculated by multiplying the amounts of products and services in physical or monetary units purchased
by Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation from suppliers other than its consolidated subsidiaries by the respective emission factor for each type of product or service. Data for this category is collected only for Taiyo
Nippon Sanso Corporation.

Category 2
Capital goods

Calculated by multiplying the amounts of capital investment during each reporting fiscal year by anemission factor per price of capital goods.

Category 3
Fuel- and energy-related activities
not included in Scope 1 and 2This category includes emissions associated with the extraction, production, and transportation of­purchased fuels and those consumed in the production of electricity and steam that are purchasedby the Group.
Fuels: Calculated by multiplying the amount purchased during the fiscal year by an emission factor foreach fuel type.
Electricity and steam: Calculated by multiplying the amount purchased from outside the Group by the
upstream emission factor for each purchased energy reflecting electricity transmission loss.

Category 4
Upstream transportation and distribution (Including distribution services
whose cost is borne by the Group)

Calculated by subtracting the CO2 emissions from logistics subsidiaries, which are included in Scope 1
emissions, from the CO2 emissions reported for Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation and Nippon Ekitan
Corporation as specified shippers in accordance with the Act on Promotion of Global WarmingCountermeasures.
CO2 emissions related to transportation and distribution of products for which Taiyo Nippon Sanso
Corporation and Nippon Ekitan Corporation bear the transportation costs are included in this category.

Category 5
Waste generated in operations

The Taiyo Nippon Sanso Group’s primary products are gases (oxygen, nitrogen, and argon), which areproduced from air as a raw material through cryogenic separation. Therefore, almost no waste is generated in the manufacturing process. As the volume of waste generated from other products’ production
sites is also negligible, emissions in this category are not calculated.

Category 6
Business travel

Calculated by multiplying the number of employees of Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation and its domestic
consolidated subsidiaries by the emission factor (0.13 tonnes of CO2/person/ year).

Category 7
Employee commuting

Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation Employees: For train commuters, the annual payment for commuter
passes is multiplied by an emission factor per transportation expense. For car com­muters, the round trip
distance is multiplied by the annual number of commuting days and an emission factor per personkilometer for passenger car.
Employees of domestic consolidated subsidiaries: The number of employees is multiplied by the annual
number of commuting days, and multiplied by the emission factor per commuting day.

NIPPON SANSO HOLDINGS CORPORATION

Sustainability Data Book

Sustainability Data Book

Category 8
Upstream leased assets

Since the amount of applicable lease assets is negligible, emissions in this category are not calculated

Category 9
Downstream transportation anddistribution

The emissions associated with the transportation of sold products whose cost is borne by Taiyo Nippon
Sanso Corporation and Nippon Ekitan Corporation fall within category 4 as the Group basically bears thecost of transporting products.

Category 10
Processing of sold products

The Taiyo Nippon Sanso Group’s main product group is gas, and since it is difficult to rationally calculate
the GHG emissions associated with the processing of these products, the emissions are not calculated.

Category 11
Use of sold products

The amount of CO2 emissions generated from the use of propane gas (LPG), liquefied carbon dioxide gas,and dry ice, and from use of electricity for the operation of its air separation units during the service life,
which were sold to customers outside of the Taiyo Nippon Sanso Group.

Category 12
End-of-life treatment of sold products

The Taiyo Nippon Sanso Group’s primary products are gases (oxygen, nitrogen, argon). After use, thesegases return to the atmosphere and do not become waste. Furthermore, since the gas containers areloaned, and therefore the amount of waste from sold produces is negligible, emissions in this category are
not calculated.

Category 13
Downstream leased assets

Since the amount of applicable lease assets is negligible, emissions in this category are not calculated.

Category 14
Franchises

As the Group does not have any businesses in this format, there are no emissions in this category.

Category 15
Investments

Calculated by multiplying the emissions of each of the seven main affiliates of Taiyo Nippon Sanso
Corporation in Japan by the Company’s shareholding ratio (as of the fiscal year-end). The sevencompany’s GHG emissions are based on their actual emissions in the reporting period.

Calculation Methods for GHG Emission Reduction Contribution
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction contribution is calculated for the following products and services sold by Taiyo Nippon
Sanso Corporation and it domestic consolidated subsidiaries. The calculation method per product or service is as follows. The CO2
emission factor used for electricity is 0.488 tCO2/MWh.

Product or service

Calculation methods of GHG emission reduction contribution

SF6 recovery service

The volume of SF6 gas recovered in FYE2020 was multiplied by its global warming potential (GWP) to
calculate GHG emission reduction contribution.

Combustion-type exhaust gas
abatement system

An average processing capacity of 0.6 L/min for NF3 gas per one combustion-type exhaust gas abatement
system was assumed, and this value was multiplied by the number of such systems that were installed in
FYE2019 and FYE2020, the number of operating hours per year, and the GWP of NF3 to calculate
the GHG emission reduction contribution. The amount of CO2 emissions from fuel used in combustion
equipment was deducted.

SCOPE–JET®

Based on actual observed values at two electronic furnace manufacturers who had introduced SCOPE–JET®,
the electricity-saving effect per volume of jet oxygen (kWh/Nm3) was calculated. The ratio of the numberof plants that have introduced SCOPE–JET® to the total number of electric furnace manufacturing plants
was multiplied by the volume of crude steel products by electric furnaces in Japan in FYE2020, and theresulting number was assumed to be the production volume of crude steel contributed by the electricity
saving from SCOPE–JET®. The amount of oxygen consumed by SCOPE–JET® in the production of thiscrude steel, and the amount of electricity saved per volume of oxygen were multiplied by the CO2 emission factor for electricity to calculate the GHG emission reduction contribution. The amount of the CO2
emissions generated during the manufacture of the oxygen was deducted.

MG Shield®

The amount of SF6 gas whose use was avoided through use of MG Shield® sold in FYE2020, wasmultiplied by the gas’ GWP to calculate the GHG emission reduction contribution.

Nitrogen gas supply system for laser
processing (PSA)

The annual power consumption of the Company’s conventional air compressor was compared withthat of the energy-saving type nitrogen gas supply system to calculate the annual electricity saving fromusing the energy-saving type system. The annual electricity saved was multiplied by the CO2 emission
factor for electricity and the cumulative number of units sold from FYE2012 to FYE2020 to calculate
the GHG emission reduction contribution.

Thermos Shuttle Chef

The amount of electric power usage saved per year from using Shuttle Chef when cooking was
multiplied by the CO2 emission factor for electricity and the total number of units sold over the three
years from FYE2018 to FYE2020 to calculate the GHG emission reduction contribution.

Hydrogen Station

The annual CO2 emissions, which include emissions during the manu­facture of the hydrogen, emitted byfuel cell vehicles filled with hydrogen at hydrogen stations sold or operated by the Company and operated during FYE2020 was compared with the annual CO2 emissions of gasoline cars to calculate the GHG
reduction contribution.
