| Environmental Accounting Activities (Analysis of Environmental Activities from an Economic Viewpoint) |
In addition to corporate
environmental accounting, which reveals the environmental costs of the
company as a whole, we also undertake "Conservation Effect Comparative
Environmental Accounting". Together with green accounting, this allows
us to review the cost-effectiveness of individual environmental policies.
We further undertake "Segment Environmental Accounting" to analyze the environmental cost-effectiveness of individual environmental activities, such as our package recycling activities or Zero Emission activities.
<FY 2000 Corporate Environmental Accounting>
| See web site for cost breakdown |
Calculation method: Environmental costs for FY 2000 were calculated as follows:
- Statistics are for Takara Shuzo as a whole, excepting the Bio Division.
- Statistics are totals of costs generated for the purpose of environmental conservation by environmental activity staff at each workplace and environment-related division staff at corporate headquarters.
- Items calculated are based on guidelines from the Environment Ministry.
- Investments and expenses not entirely for environmental purposes are reduced to 25%, 50%, or 75%.
- Investments from 1996 are amortized over 10 years and entered as expenses.
- Labor costs are derived from the percentage of time dedicated to environmental activities, times the average cost of labor.
- Environmental effects are derived only from those items whose monetary value is clearly measurable.
