JT Group Sustainability Report FY2014 – GRI G4 Content Index
JT Group Sustainability Report FY2014 contains Standard Disclosures from the Global
Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. Our reporting is not yet inaccordance with the GRI G4 ‘Core’ Guidelines and we have not made disclosures in all areas.
We aim for our FY2015 report to be in accordance with GRI G4 ‘Core’.
The identification of the material Aspects is based on a materiality assessment in ourinternational tobacco business only.

*A = the entire JT Group including subsidiaries(i.e. international tobacco, Japanese domestic tobacco, pharmaceutical, beverage and processed food businesses)*B = solely Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT)(includes Japanese domestic tobacco, pharmaceutical, and beverage businesses, and excludes processed food business,international tobacco business, and subsidiaries of all businesses)*C = Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT) and Japanese domestic group companies(includes subsidiaries of Japanese domestic businesses, excludes international tobacco business)

Due to the diverse nature of the JT Group, we do not have Group-wide figures for all
information presented in this report. As a result, we use the following notation to show thescope of the data and information reported:*D = Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT) and Japan Tobacco International (JTI)*E = solely Japan Tobacco International (JTI)(our international tobacco business)

As an essential part of the Charter, our Environmental Policy outlines some of the key elements of ourapproach:

Disclosed- Reduce environmental impacts and optimize the use of natural resources at all stages of ouractivities, taking into account potential impacts on biodiversity, and encourage suppliers tounderstand and abide by our Environment Charter.

We measure Group-wide GHG emissions using the WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A

We use operational control approach to determine the scope and boundaries of our reporting.

Disclosed

The main assumptions used in the calculation of our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions relate todata gaps and estimations, for certain locations which are currently unable to provide this data.
These uncertainties have been identified and managed through extrapolations, using intensity
and relevant benchmark data, e.g. production, floor area, Full Time Equivalents (FTEs), etc.
For GHG reporting, in Japan we use conversion factors set by the Japanese Act on the
Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures, 2009 (in Japanese only). In accordance with
the Act, we adopt supplier-specific conversion factors for electricity.
In our international tobacco business, we use the following conversion factors:- Scope 1: emissions factors for vehicle fuel use are taken from DEFRA 2012 and Global
Warming Potentials (GWP) for refrigerants are taken from IPCC 2006.
- Scope 2: we use supplier-specific emissions factors where a business decision has been madeto purchase a low-carbon energy supply. Where this is not the case, International Energy
Agency 2009 emissions factors are used in relation to purchased electricity, heating andsteam.
- Scope 3: emissions factors come from a variety of sources, including emissions factors fromthird party databases and our own life cycle assessments.
