Introduction
The world seeks to agree on a post-2020 international framework that will apply to all
countries at the twenty-first session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) to be held in Paris in December 2015.
In April 2015, before Japan formulated its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution,
KEIDANREN announced Phase II of the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society towards 2030,
which expands on a series of measures that it has promoted since 1997, namely, the Voluntary
Action Plan on the Environment and the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society Phase I. With
the first pillar of the program calling for (a) “Emission reductions from domestic business
operations,” CO2 reduction targets were established for 2030 in addition to conventional 2020
targets. The Commitment to a Low Carbon Society comprises four pillars, the other three being:(b) “Strengthened co-operation with other interested groups” including reductions throughproducts; (c) “Promoting contribution at the international level” including the promotion oftechnology transfers to developing countries; and (d) the “Development of innovativetechnologies.” As of October 2015, 54 industries and companies have formulated action plans
under the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society, incorporating the maximum efforts possible.
The Voluntary Action Plan on the Environment of KEIDANREN made significant
accomplishments as a result of running the PDCA cycle every fiscal year and promoting
voluntary and proactive efforts on the part of industries and companies since its formulationin 1997 (see Annex “Overview and Accomplishments of the KEIDANREN's Voluntary Action Planon the Environment”). In particular, 34 industries of the industrial and energy conversion
sectors set up the common target of “reducing average CO2 emissions from the industrial andenergy conversion sectors between fiscal 2008 and 2012 to below the level of fiscal 1990” andmade voluntary reduction efforts, consequently achieving “reductions by 12.1% relative tofiscal 1990 levels” and thereby substantially overachieving the target.
The Government initiated deliberations on its Intended Nationally Determined
Contribution (INDC) that would include Japan’s greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target in
January this year. During the deliberation process, KEIDANREN explained the efforts
undertaken and the accomplishments made under the Voluntary Action Plan on theEnvironment and declared its continued determination to voluntarily reduce CO2 emission
under the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society.
The government finalized its INDC and submitted it to the UN in July this year. The
Commitment to a Low Carbon Society of KEIDANREN served as the basis for calculations ofmeasures to be taken in the business community.
Given the increasingly large role that the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society will play1

in Japanese policy, KEIDANREN must make maximum efforts to reduce CO2 emissions under
the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society and continue to seek further enhancement of the
program’s effectiveness, transparency and reliability.
From this perspective, we have complied the Fiscal 2015 Follow-up Results (Summary)<Performance in 2014>. Details of efforts made by each industry can be found in the “Industryspecific Report” to be published in spring 2016.

１．Pillar 1: Emission reductions from domestic business operations
The Fiscal 2015 Follow-up revealed that CO2 emissions in fiscal 2014 had amounted to391.10 million t-CO2 [1.3% reduction relative to fiscal 2013 levels] from the industrial sector(total of 31 industries), 82.41 million t-CO2 [7.3% reduction relative to fiscal 2013 levels] fromthe energy conversion sector (total of 3 industries), 20.92 million t-CO2 [3.0% reduction
relative to fiscal 2013 levels] from the commercial sector (total of 12 industries) and 120.50
million t-CO2 (1.6% reduction relative to fiscal 2013 levels) from the transportation sector.
Therefore, CO2 emissions had been reduced in all sectors (Figure 1).
An analysis was conducted on contributing factors of increases and decreases in CO2emissions compared with fiscal 2013 (previous fiscal year) and fiscal 2005 levels (Figures 2 and
3). As a result, it was revealed that the “change in energy consumed per unit of economic
activity” (energy consumption intensity) had improved in all sectors with the exception of theindustrial sector (2.9% reduction in the energy conversion sector, 1.0% reduction in thecommercial sector, 5.1% reduction in the transportation sector). The industrial sector,
recording a 0.1% increase, saw little change in its CO2 emissions, presumably due to difficulties
in controlling CO2 emissions fixed regardless the changes in economic (production) activity
that resulted from the backlash to the last-minute rush of demand prior to the consumption
tax increase.

(1) Industrial Sector
A. Performance
The Fiscal 2015 Follow-up revealed that the industrial sector emitted 391.10 million tCO2 in fiscal 2014, representing a decrease of 1.3% (5.29 million t-CO2) compared to fiscal
2013 levels. In comparison with fiscal 2005 levels, emissions from the sector decreased by 6.8%
(28.46 million t-CO2) (Figure 4.).
The industrial sector emitted 396.39 million t-CO2 in fiscal 2013, accounting for 83.3%
of total emissions from Japan’s industrial sector as a whole (476.05 million t-CO2 in fiscal 2013).

As provided in Figure 5, industries reported that in their efforts to reduce CO2 emissions
in fiscal 2014, they introduced energy-saving/high-efficiency facilities, recovered waste heat,
converted to more efficient fuels and improved operational methods (see Attachment 2 fordetails).

to a Low Carbon Society have been calculated and provided as reference.
・Calculation methods have been renewed with the implementation of the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society.
Changes include calculating emissions from power generation using a receiving end coefficient instead of ageneration-end coefficient and setting revised industrial boundaries in calculating emissions from someindustries.
・The CO2 emission figures for the electrical and electronics industry in fiscal 2011 and the years preceding used foremission calculations under the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society are equivalent to those used in the
Voluntary Action Plan on the Environment (as the industry used receiving end coefficients in prior calculations,which did however apply different industrial boundaries). Emissions from the Shipbuilders’ Association of Japanare not included in the figures representing fiscal years prior to 2012.
・CO2 emissions after consideration of reduced emissions resulting from the use of post-adjustment emission
coefficients stipulated in the Act on the Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures are provided in brackets.

B. Factor analysis
A factor analysis was conducted on the causes that led to a 1.3% decrease in CO2emissions from the industrial sector in fiscal 2014, relative to fiscal 2013. It was found that
decreased economic activity and a smaller CO2 emission factor contributed to reducing CO2
emissions by 1.2% and 0.2% respectively (see Table 1). Energy consumption per unit ofeconomic activity was on a level with that of fiscal 2013, increasing by 0.1%, presumably due tohaving difficulties in controlling fixed CO2 emissions despite reduced economic (production)
activity among major industries that had resulted from the backlash to the last-minute rush of
demand prior to the consumption tax increase1.
In contrast, relative to fiscal 2005 levels, reduced energy consumption per unit ofeconomic activity contributed to reducing CO2 emissions by 4.0%, thus indicating that energy
intensity levels have improved over the medium to long-term.

1In general, energy consumption (CO2 emissions) comprises an inevitable part that is required regardless of

economic (production) activity levels (fixed consumption) and a part that changes in conjunction witheconomic activity levels (variable consumption). Despite reduced economic activity, energy efficiency levels(CO3 emission efficiency) tend to decrease as a whole due to unchanged levels of fixed energy consumption.

(2) Energy conversion sector
A. Performance
The Fiscal 2015 Follow-up revealed that the energy conversion sector emitted 82.41
million t-CO2 in fiscal 2014, representing a decrease of 7.3% (6.47 million t-CO2) compared tofiscal 2013 levels. In comparison with fiscal 2005 levels, emissions from the sector havedecreased by 0.3% (0.24 million t-CO2) (Figure 6.).
The energy conversion sector emitted 88.88 million t-CO2 in fiscal 2013, accounting for
88.3% of total emissions from Japan’s energy conversion sector (100.64 million t-CO2 in fiscal
2013) as a whole.
As provided in Figure 7, industries reported that in their efforts to reduce CO2 emissions
in fiscal 2014, they introduced energy-saving/high-efficiency facilities, recovered waste heat,
converted to more efficient fuels and improved operational methods (see Attachment 2 fordetails).

B. Factor analysis
A factor analysis was conducted on the causes that led to a 7.3% decrease in CO2 emissions
from the energy conversion sector in fiscal 2014, relative to fiscal 2013. It was found that
smaller economic activity, a smaller CO2 emission factor and reduced energy consumption perunit of economic activity contributed to reducing CO2 emissions by 3.5%, 0.9% and 2.9%
respectively
In the energy conversion (electric power) sector, unlike in the industrial sector, despite
reduced economic (energy production) activity, improvement was seen in the energy
consumption per unit of economic activity. This is presumably due to the increased operating
rate of newly installed high-efficiency equipment, in contrast to the reduced operation of aged
equipment in response to lower energy demand.

(3) Commercial sector
A. Performance
The Fiscal 2015 Follow-up revealed that the commercial sector emitted 20.92 million tCO2 in fiscal 2014, representing a decrease of 3.0% (0.65 million t-CO2) compared to fiscal
2013 levels (Figure 8.).
The commercial sector emitted 23.99 million t-CO2 in fiscal 2013, accounting for 7.7% of
total emissions from Japan’s energy conversion sector (278.75 million t-CO2 in fiscal 2013) asa whole.
Industries reported that they continued to newly install or upgrade existing equipment
and appliances to high-efficiency/energy-saving models, including LED lighting, highperformance air conditioning equipment and elevators (Figure 9). They are also engaged infurther enhancing thermal insulation levels and improving the efficiency of energy
management in buildings. (see Attachment 2 for details).

B. Factor analysis
A factor analysis was conducted on the causes that led to a 3.0% decrease in CO2 emissions
from the commercial sector in fiscal 2014, relative to fiscal 2013. It was found that increased
economic activity in telecommunications and other industries, a smaller CO2 emission factor
and reduced energy consumption per unit of economic activity contributed to reducing CO2
emissions by 0.6%, 2.6% and 1.0% respectively.

C. Relevant efforts made in main and local offices by non-commercial industries
Energy-saving efforts pursued in offices are not limited to industries in the commercial
sector. A diversity of efforts, including strictly managing heating and cooling temperatures,conserving electric power by frequently switching off lights, and installing high-efficiency
energy-saving facilities, have been made across a wide range of industries in the industrial,
energy conversion and transportation industries, as provided in Attachment 2. As exhibited in
Attachment 7, these efforts have led to the reduction of CO2 emissions per unit of floor area
compared to fiscal 2013 levels in many industries.
(4) Transportation Sector
A. Performance
The Fiscal 2015 Follow-up revealed that the transportation sector emitted 120.50 million
t-CO2 in fiscal 2014, representing a decrease of 1.6% (2.01 million t-CO2) compared to fiscal
2013 levels. In comparison with fiscal 2005 levels, emissions from the sector have decreasedby 14.5% (17.14 million t-CO2) (Figure 10.).
The transportation sector accounted for 25.5% of total emissions from Japan’stransportation sector as a whole (224.66 million t-CO2 in fiscal 2013), excluding overseas
emissions.
Industries reported that they continued to newly install or upgrade existing equipment(vehicles, ships, aircrafts, etc.) to high energy-saving performance models and engaged asshown in Figure 11, in efforts to pursue increased transportation efficiency by developing
larger equipment and promoting integrated shipping, combining road, rail, marine and airtransport (see Attachment 2 for details).

B. Factor analysis
A factor analysis was conducted on the causes that led to a 1.6% decrease in CO2emissions from the energy conversion sector in fiscal 2014, relative to fiscal 2013 (Table 4). It
was found that increased economic activity, such as surface and air transport, a smaller CO2
emission factor and reduced energy consumption per unit of economic activity contributed toreducing CO2 emissions by 3.5%, 1.0% and 5.1% respectively.

C. Relevant logistics-related efforts made in non-transportation industries
Energy efficiency improvement measures pursued to reduce emissions from the logistics
sector are not limited to industries of the transportation sector. As presented in Attachment 2,
a wide range of industries in the industrial, energy conversion and commercial sectors areengaged in various efforts. Improvement measures for individual vehicles include applying
Japan’s world-leading energy efficiency technologies to achieve even higher fuel efficiency.
Furthermore, industries are consolidating distribution bases and using third-party logistics(3PL) providers to improve the efficiency of distribution practices and converting to lowemission vehicles. (Outcomes can be found in Attachment 8.) These efforts will be continued
in the future.

19

2. Pillar 2: Strengthened co-operation with other interested groups(1) Contribution through low-carbon products and services
Companies have contributed to reducing CO2 emissions through their untiring efforts
not only to reduce emissions from the manufacturing and production processes of theirproducts but also to provide low-carbon products and services. Examples of their contribution
to CO2 emission reductions through products and services are provided in Table 5 andAttachment 3. Some industries have ensured the credibility and transparency of theircalculated contributions by referring to environmental guidelines adopted by industrial groups
as well as publicly known standards.

Also, relevant industries have joined hands beyond industrial boundaries to reduce
society-wide CO2 emissions by providing high-quality products and services.
For example, as exhibited in Figure 12, in the transportation sector, a number ofindustries have been in engaged in a concerted effort to reduce CO2 emissions by 1) improving
the actual fuel efficiency of passenger vehicles; 2) improving the actual fuel efficiency of cargovehicles; and 3) improving cargo shipping efficiency.
Furthermore, as presented in Figure 13, in the commercial and residential sector,
improvements in the energy-saving performance of buildings, the introduction of energy
management systems, and the development and diffusion of high-efficiency energy-saving
equipment have contributed to reducing CO2 emissions.

(2) Efforts leading to public campaigns
It is also essential that each individual reexamine his/her attitudes and actions towards
global warming issues, and adapt his/her lifestyles accordingly with a view to resolving them.
To this end, public-private cooperation in promoting public campaigns is called for (Figure 14).
As provided in Attachment 3, according to the Fiscal 2015 Follow-up results, public
relations campaigns and educational activities (hosting events and expositions, environmental
education outreach to students and local residents, etc.) as well as the communication ofenergy-saving information (by using websites, distributing pamphlets, providing productperformance information at retail stores, etc.) were implemented so that increased publicawareness and knowledge of global warming prevention would encourage the proactive useof energy-efficient low-carbon products and services, etc. Furthermore, the business
community was engaged in continued efforts to implement a wide range of activities, including
adopting casual dress codes (Cool Biz / Warm Biz), strictly controlling air conditioning andlighting, encouraging the keeping of environmental household account books, and promoting
eco-commuting and refrainment from idling, in order to engage employees and their families
in activities to prevent global warming on a daily basis.

(3) Other
A. 3Rs and global warming countermeasures
The 3Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycle) pursued in order to create a recycle-based society
can also contribute to countering global warming. In the Fiscal 2015 Follow-up, some industries
reported that they had reduced the energy used for transportation by reducing waste volume
and developing lightweight thin-walled containers, and others reported that they had reduced
CO2 emissions by utilizing waste and byproducts.
In contrast, pursuing the 3Rs can sometimes lead to increased CO2 emissions. For
example, the cement industry receives waste and byproducts, including sewerage sludge, fromother industries, and thus contributes to the nationwide reduction of waste volumes requiring
final disposal. However, utilizing waste involves energy-consuming preliminary treatment, andconsequently increases CO2 emissions. It should be noted that as such cases imply, focusing
only on reducing CO2 emissions and neglecting the 3Rs would increase the total volume ofwaste requiring final disposal across Japan.
B. Fostering and conserving forest sinks
Global warming countermeasures also call for the fostering and conservation of forest
sinks. In the Fiscal 2015 Follow-up, some industries reported that they had enhanced theutilization of domestic lumber, including tree thinning. Other industries reported that they
had engaged in management operations in company-owned forests and the greening offactories and business locations, or that they had promoted afforestation projects in Japanand overseas.

26

3. Pillar 3: Promoting contribution at the international level(1) International comparison of energy efficiency
Under the Voluntary Action Plan on the Environment (Section on Global Warming
Measures) and the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society, Japan’s business community has
endeavored to improve energy-saving technologies and energy efficiency. As a result, majorindustries have achieved world-leading energy efficiency levels, which continue to be
maintained (Figure 15). Furthermore, oil refineries have been newly added this year to the listof technologies reaching the world’s highest levels.

(2) International contribution through products, equipment and technology transfer
Having achieved world-leading energy efficiency levels, Japan’s business community has
fostered advanced energy-saving and low-carbon technologies. It also embraces products andtechnologies with high energy-saving and energy efficiency performance.
However, Japan accounts for only 2.8% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions (2010).
It is essential that Japan contribute to the establishment of a low carbon society through thedevelopment and diffusion of such highly energy-efficient and energy-saving low-carbon
technologies and products.
In the Fiscal 2015 Follow-up, industries reported international contributions to reduce
CO2 emissions, as provided in Table 6
In addition, as presented in Attachment 4, many industries reported various efforts(moving manufacturing processes overseas, exporting products, fostering human resources indeveloping countries, etc.) to disseminate Japan’s advanced energy-efficient low-carbon
technologies and products overseas.
Industries have also engaged in activities at international conferences (cooperating
towards the formulation of international standards, introducing Japan’s diverse global warming
measures, etc.) and have contributed to the implementation of anti-pollution measures, suchas those against air pollution and water contamination.

5. Efforts made beyond the four pillars
In the Fiscal 2015 Follow-up, industries reported efforts made beyond the four pillars: (1)reducing non-CO2 GHG emissions; and (2) the status of their efforts under the Commitment toa Low Carbon Society Phase II. An outline of these efforts is provided below (see Attachment
6 for details).
(1) Reducing the emission of non-CO2 greenhouse gases
Greenhouse gases include not only CO2 but also methane (CH4), dinitrogen monoxide(N2O), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and fluorocarbons (HFCs and PFCs) 2, the emissions of whichmust be controlled in order to cope with global warming. In the Fiscal 2015 Follow-up,
industries reported emission reductions of fluorocarbons through the revision of work
processes, the enhancement of daily inspections, and the scheduled renewal of facilities. Other
efforts, including preventing fluorocarbon leakages, thoroughly recovering and destroying
fluorocarbons and considering the use of natural refrigerants, were also reported.
(2) Status of efforts under the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society Phase II
Seeking to further contribute to global warming countermeasures, in April 2015,
KEIDANREN formulated and announced the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society Phase II
embracing targets for 2030. At present, 54 industries and companies have set up targets for2030 regarding emissions from domestic business operations, in addition to existing targets
for 2020, and will enhance their efforts in strengthened cooperation with other interested
groups, promoting contribution at the international level and developing innovativetechnologies.
With the perspective that 2030 targets for domestic business activities, involve longterm efforts, the assumptions supporting the targets shall be made explicit to ensuretransparency, and various factors, including social and industrial structural change andtechnological advancements, shall be considered.

2 Approximately 6.9% of greenhouse gas emissions in Japan are attributable to non-CO2 gases (fiscal 2013).

Conclusion
At COP21 to be held in Paris, countries seek to adopt a post-2020 internationalframework for climate change. It is essential that all major emitters participate in the newframework, which must be a fair and effective international framework that can also
accommodate economic growth. At the negotiation table, the Japanese government should
contribute to international negotiations in a way that all countries can reach agreement, whilepursuing its own national interests.
Once a new framework is agreed upon at COP21, deliberation on domestic measures
will begin in earnest. Regulatory approaches, including cap and trade schemes, the Tax for
Climate Change Mitigation, and feed-in-tariff schemes for renewable energy should not be
introduced, as they not only significantly affect national livelihood and corporate activities,
they are extremely problematic from the perspective of implementing effective global warming
countermeasures. Policy measures that have already been introduced should be fundamentally
reviewed, with a view to their abolishment. It is critical that measures taken by the business
community are explicitly centered on the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society of KEIDANREN
and we will continue to request that the Government support the efforts taken by the business
community under this program.
In order for the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society to gain more trust among thegeneral public and in society, it is indispensable to ensure its effectiveness, transparency andcredibility. Therefore, KEIDANREN will continue to collaborate with participating industries andpursue the PDCA cycle to soundly implement the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society. This
will involve evaluation by the Evaluation Committee and addressing the comments made by
the Committee.
In fiscal 2016, KEIDANREN will conduct an extensive interim review based on theachievements made from fiscal 2013 to 2015. We will also communicate in a comprehensive
manner to both domestic and overseas audiences our contributions to global warming
measures, including our efforts in strengthened cooperation with other interested groups,
promoting contribution at the international level and developing innovative technologies.

13576 11997 12802 12334 12002 12120 12003*1 Total CO2 emissions and enrgy consumption have been calculated using the receiving -end coefficient for the average of all power sources as the carbon emission factor and energy
conversion coefficient, respectively. Figures for the Japan Rubber Manufacturers Association have been caclulated using the c oefficient forthermal power generation and a fixity
coefficent for fiscal 2005 (base year) has been used to calculate actual emissions. The difference between a simple sum including relevant industries and the total is provided as"revisions".
*2 Due to revisions in energy-specific standard calorific values and carbon emission factors under the General Energy Statistics, calculations before fiscal 1999, fiscal 2000-2004, fiscal
2005-2012 and fiscal 2013 are based on different thermal conversion factors*3 Intensity indices have been calculated by having each industry set a base year, the figure for which is used as the denomi nator. Unless otherwise specified, the base year is fiscal
1990.
*4 The Liaison Group of Japanese Electrical and Electronics Industries for Global Warming Prevention has implemented the Comm itment to Low Carbon Society as a new scheme
independent of the conventional Voluntary Action Plan on the Environment. Therefore, data for participating industries under the Commitment to a Low Carbon Society are available
for only the years following the base year (fiscal 2012). The figures provided for fiscal 1990 -2011 have been derived from the Voluntary Action Plan on the Environment as reference.
*5 Emissions from industrial processes refer to CO2 emissions from manufacturing processes that are not energy -oriented.

*1 Total CO2 emissions and enrgy consumption have been calculated using the receiving -end coefficient for the average of all power sources as the carbon emission factor
and energy conversion coefficient, respectively.
*2 Due to revisions in energy-specific standard calorific values and carbon emission factors under the General Energy Statistics, calculations before fiscal 1999, fiscal 20002004, fiscal 2005-2012 and fiscal 2013 are based on different thermal conversion factors.
*3 Intensity indices have been calculated by having each industry set a base year, the figure for which is used as the denomi nator. Unless otherwise specified, the baseyear is fiscal 1990.
*4 The data for the Japan Gas Association in and before 2012 are based on industrial boundaries defined under the Voluntary A ction Plan on the Environment. The
calculated CO2 emissions differ from the figures dervied using the marignal adjustment method (cogeneration) that the Japan G as Association has adopted as target
