Our environmental impact is due not only to our own, direct operations, but to all stages in the supply chain, from raw material procurement to product manufacturing, logistics, sales, disposal, and recycling. We strive to understand our environmental impact at each stage, review steps needed for reduction, and take action to reduce energy consumption, resource use, and waste.
We are particularly focused on understanding the CO2 emissions of our supply chain, and every year we ask our business partners, including factories that manufacture rice products and distribution centers, to cooperate in a questionnaire to understand their CO2 emissions. Going forward, we will examine items that need to be addressed and promote the reduction of CO2 emissions by verifying changes over time and the effects of our reduction measures.

* Calculations are based on the Basic Guidelines for Calculating Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain Ver. 2.5 and the emissions intensity database Ver. 3.3 for calculating greenhouse gas emissions of organizations throughout the supply chain. It does not cover Lawson’s entire supply chain. Each value is rounded so the total value does not match the values’ actual total. Scope 2 includes electricity consumption by franchise stores that belong to Category 14 of Scope 3.
Third-party validation has been performed on the record for fiscal 2022 by the Japan Management Association (except for electricity consumption by LAWSON STORE 100 stores in Scope 2).
