12No of PCRs and labels over the years•••Labels published during the pilot phase were valid for 3 years. The numbers of labels becoming invalid in fy2013 &fy2014 were larger than the number of newly published labels, hence the number of valid labels was down.
Because all labels published during the pilot phase were no longer valid after the end of fy2014, those currently
valid have been published after the pilot project.
The number of PCRs hasn’t increased much, but the product categories for quantification have greatly increased
All labels publishedwith the introduction of the general purpose PCRs.

Recent trend in Japan
Concept of “life cycle thinking” is slowly introduced to government policies andcorporate actions.
•Green Purchasing Law:oo•

Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourismo•

In their program to be completed by 2030, Ministry carries out the life cycle CO2
evaluation and display by implementing the zero energy support for houses & buildingsand the promotion of LCCM (life cycle carbon minus) rating of houses.

Japan Business Federation (Keidanren)o•Basic principles state “when purchasing goods and services, they must be selected bytheir ability of reducing environmental impact throughout products lifecycle”.
The GP Law Premium Criteria Guidelines, set up in 2013, state that products andservices are verified and registered with CFP/EcoLeaf programmes equivalents to meetthe criteria.

Keidanren’s Low-Carbon Society Action Plan requires that the electrical & electronics
industry collects, evaluates, and publishes the amount of CO2 emission reduction
contribution by their products.

Kawasaki-Cityo

Kawasaki mechanism has been set up which visualises the amount of CO2 emission
reduction contribution by the technologies adopted by the companies in the city andwhich leads to mechanisms for companies to be properly evaluated in the market.

・ Having mutual PCRs・ Using mutual database → Same numbers of GHG value for CFP & EcoLeaf
・Reforming the Price structure(Fees for Registration & Verification)
・ Calculation tool
