| Methodology description | Shiseido's product and organisational environmental footprint assessments follow its internal Guidance for Product and Organizational Environmental Footprint Assessment (v1.04, April 2021), grounded in ISO 14040/44 and the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard. Emissions are assessed across the full product lifecycle — raw material procurement, manufacturing, distribution, use and maintenance, and end-of-life — with the functional unit defined per sales unit. Cut-off is permitted only where excluded processes collectively contribute less than 5% of total emissions. Biomass-derived CO₂ is treated as carbon neutral and excluded from GHG totals. |
