Period: April 2008 to March 2009 |
| - |
Composite costs (expenditures for both environmental and production purposes) calculated based on an environmental contribution ratio determined by DISCO (simplifi ed method). |
| - |
Labor costs calculated by adding personnel costs for employees in environment-related departments to hours dedicated to environmental preservation activities multiplied by labor costs per hour. |
| - |
Green purchasing is limited to applicable items. Green purchasing items related to capital investment calculated by multiplying by an environmental contribution ratio. Other green purchasing costs stated in full. |
| - |
R&D costs calculated by multiplying costs associated with R&D on environmental preservation by an environmental contribution ratio determined by DISCO. |
