(2) The investment amount for the fiscal year is the amount paid in fiscal 2008. (3) Equipment depreciation costs (as defined by law) are included as part of environmental protection, maintenance, and management costs for one fiscal year, but personnel costs are not included as they are determined by the actual number of staff in any given year. (4) The number of employees listed for the fiscal year is a combined total based on the percentage of the overall workload of each employee actually involved. (5) Only the actual impact is addressed. Hypothetical impacts (risk-avoidance impact or presumed impact) are not included. (6) Airborne discharges are calculated on the basis of the amount of fuel consumed. For the discharge of NOx and soot and dust, calculations are either based on measurements taken at sites that generate soot or, for sites that do not generate soot, based on discharge volumes per volume of fuel consumed at soot-generating sites in fiscal 2000. (7) For plants for which wastewater volume was not recorded, wastewater volume is calculated as the volumes of water used. (8) Figures for energy usage by each facility are calculated by multiplying the volume of electricity and fuel, such as gas and oil, purchased by a CO 2 conversion factor. (9) The volume of resources used represents a combined total, including each volume of chemical substances, in excess of one ton (0.5 tons for Specified Class I Designated Chemical Substances) annually, used as materials in products as well as other PRTR-related chemical substances used at each respective site. (10) The volume of water used includes both water used for industrial purposes and ordinary sewer water. (11) Figures for the depreciation of assets do not include cost reductions resulting from recycling. (12) The number of restorations required due to soil contamination or other damage to the natural environment is the sum of the incidents occurred in fiscal 2008. 0.997 0 Volume of emissions of PRTR-governed chemical substances (ｔ) Reduction in emissions of PRTR governed 0.5 0 22.786 197.646 Number of cases requiring countermeasures 1.1 35.070 1,063 Waste handled by disposal firms (ｔ) 0.8 722 1.671 11,376 Volume collected or disposed of (CFC-11 conversion t) 10.1 1,281 1.087 3,719 221,382 2.Upstream and downstream costs Green purchasing system 5.132 16.219 Complaints received about odors Risk management Soil contamination risk management Year-on-year comparison 2 5.6 1.3 Overall indicator Complaints received about vibrations 25,069 Waste reduction Atmosphere related SOx(ｔ) -8.250 NOx(ｔ) -120.089 Soot and dust(ｔ) -1.180 20.548 155,480 4.788 3,438,367 0.0 11.2 Specific indicator Year-on-year change Evaluation Complaints received about noise 277,920 0 Total volume of environmental Observance of laws/regulations burden and other results SOx(ｔ) Refer to data for information on NOx(ｔ) the observance of air and water Soot and dust(ｔ) pollution laws 5.2 0 663,051 Efficiency Positive environmental impact Improvement in environmental burden due to environmental conservation activities 8.201 0.500
