Definition of Recycled Raw Materials
(1) Ratio of recycled raw materials in incoming raw materials for the copper smelting business
(total dry volume of recycled raw materials processed at JX Metals Smelting Co., Ltd.*1) ÷(total dry volume of primary and recycled raw materials processed at JX Metals Smelting Co., Ltd.) x 100 (Unit: %)
- *1However, the dry volume of recycled raw materials before pretreatment is calculated based on the pretreatment residue ratio if recycled raw materials are pretreated at JX Advanced Metals Corporation plants or affiliates, other than JX Metals Smelting Co., Ltd. and the dry volume of recycled raw materials before pretreatment is available.
(2) Ratio of copper from recycled raw materials in electrolytic copper
(volume of copper derived from recycled raw materials in copper anodes per year*2) ÷ (copper anode charge per year)
- *2Cumulative 12-month total of figures calculated monthly with (monthly copper anode charge in the electrorefining process at JX Advanced Metals Smelting Co., Ltd.) x (ratio of copper from recycled raw materials in copper anode*3).
- *3(Total volume of copper in recycled raw materials processed by JX Advanced Metals Smelting Co., Ltd. for the month) x (copper yield at Saganoseki Smelter & Refinery for the month) ÷ (total copper in net copper production at Saganoseki Smelter & Refinery for the month)
- *4In the electrorefining process, copper anodes are electrolyzed to produce electrolytic copper. Here, there is no input of copper components other than copper anodes. Therefore, the recycling ratio in copper anodes charged in the process is equal to the recycling ratio in electrolytic copper.

- *Scope 1 and 2 emissions are calculated for operating sites of high quantitative importance. Scope 3 emissions are calculated mainly for operating sites where production activities are conducted, and the scope of calculation is different for each category.
Scope 3 Calculation Standards
Our company calculates Scope 3 emissions with reference to the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "Basic Guidelines on Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver.2.6)" and the GHG Protocol's "Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard."
For emission factors, we select and use appropriate data from the following databases:
・Ministry of the Environment: "Emissions intensity Database for Calculating Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Organizations Through the Supply Chain (Ver.3.4)"
・"IDEAv3.4 IPCC2021 without LULUCF AR6" by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Research Institute of Science for Safety and Sustainability
・CO2 emission factors under the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures
The approach to calculating each category is as follows.
(kt)
| Category 1 Purchased goods and services |
The calculation is based on the quantity of raw materials and services purchased by each group company from outside our corporate group (measured in physical volume data*1 and monetary data*2), multiplied by the respective emission factors for each raw material and service.
|
| Category 2 Capital goods |
The calculation is based on the acquisition cost of fixed assets newly acquired during the fiscal year, multiplied by the emission factor. |
| Category 3 Fuel and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or 2 |
The calculation is based on multiplying the aggregated energy data (activity volume) published in this page by the emission factors for each type of energy. |
| Category 4 Upstream transportation and distribution |
The activity volume is based on logistics data (transportation method, transport distance, and cargo volume) for items with identifiable transportation scenarios, such as "Raw Materials" and "Key Products" published in this page. For shipments of our products, the calculation covers transportation only up to direct customers. Subsequent transportation after processing or other handling by customers is excluded, as various scenarios are possible. In principle, the ton-kilometer method is applied, multiplying by the corresponding emission factor to calculate emissions. |
| Category 5 Waste generated in operations |
The calculation is based on the total waste emissions by type (refer to this page), using the aggregated data (activity volume) multiplied by the emission factors for each waste type. Waste that is recycled or processed within our corporate group is excluded from the calculation. |
| Category 6 Business travel |
The calculation is based on the aggregated employee count data (refer to Social Data), multiplied by the emission factor. |
| Category 7 Category 7 |
The calculation is made by multiplying the appropriate emission factor per unit of activity for each work pattern and work location, based on the aggregate data of the number of employees (refer to Social Data) and the number of working days as stipulated in the employment regulations and other relevant documents. |
| Category 8 Upstream leased assets |
Emissions from the operation of leased assets, such as vehicles and office equipment, are entirely included in Scope 1 and 2, and are therefore excluded from the calculation. |
| Category 9 Downstream transportation and distribution |
The calculation is based on the same approach as Category 4. |
| Category 10 Processing of sold products |
The calculation is primarily based on the aggregated data (activity volume) of "Key Products" published in this page, multiplied by the emission factor. |
| Category 11 Use of sold products |
Our corporate group's products consist of non-ferrous metal materials and catalysts (inorganic substances). Since the products themselves do not consume energy or emit GHGs during use, they are excluded from the calculation. |
| Category 12 End-of-life treatment of sold products |
The calculation is primarily based on the aggregated data (activity volume) of "Key Products" published in this page, multiplied by the emission factor. |
| Category 13 Downstream leased assets |
If related facilities not included in Scope 1 and 2 (such as company housing and employee dormitories) are owned, they are accounted for under this category to ensure comprehensiveness, even though they are not leased assets. |
| Category 14 Franchises |
Our corporate group does not operate through franchises, and since there are no applicable activities, this category is excluded. |
| Category 15 Investments |
This category is currently excluded as we are in the process of identifying the applicable companies within our corporate group and examining the approach for calculating Scope 1 and 2 emissions for these companies. |

- *4Both the frequency rate (the number of persons harmed or killed due to occupational accidents per million cumulative actual work hours) and the severity rate (number of work days lost per thousand cumulative actual work hours) cover Company employees and employees at other Group companies (including Toho Titanium).
- *5Safety statistics for subcontractor employees include not only those stationed permanently but also spot vendors. Note that these are subject to statistics for frequency rate and severity rate as of 2020. Cumulative work hours are calculated as follows: Number of permanently stationed subcontractor employees at the end of each month x number of operating days x 8 hours/day.
(Reference) In 2023, the frequency and severity rate of occupational accidents for all businesses in Japan were 2.14 and 0.09, respectively (Source: Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, "Survey on Industrial Accidents") - *6The Group defines a serious accident as one that results in four or more lost work days, and considers the occupational injury rate per 1,000 employees to be one of our key indicators for evaluation. (Occupational injury rate per 1,000 employees (four or more lost workdays) = number of casualties with four or more lost workdays ÷ total number of employees (including employees of regular partner companies) x 1,000)
- *7No physical injuries were caused as a result of explosions/fires.
- *8While this includes Group companies and subcontractors, this data should be used only for reference as it is difficult to conduct follow-up surveys and aggregate working hours for subcontractors at overseas business sites, and detailed data such as frequency rates are not disclosed.
