Definition of Recycled Raw Materials

(1) Ratio of recycled raw materials in incoming raw materials for the copper smelting business
(total dry volume of recycled raw materials processed at JX Metals Smelting Co., Ltd. ^*2) ÷ (total dry volume of primary and recycled raw materials processed at JX Metals Smelting Co., Ltd.) x 100 (Unit: %)

*2However, the dry volume of recycled raw materials before pretreatment is calculated based on the pretreatment residue ratio if recycled raw materials are pretreated at 麻豆传媒映画 plants or affiliates, other than JX Metals Smelting Co., Ltd. and the dry volume of recycled raw materials before pretreatment is available.

(2) Ratio of copper from recycled raw materials in electrolytic copper
(volume of copper derived from recycled raw materials in copper anodes per year ^*3) ÷ (copper anode charge per year)

*3Cumulative 12-month total of figures calculated monthly with (monthly copper anode charge in the electrorefining process at 麻豆传媒映画 Metals Smelting Co., Ltd.) x (ratio of copper from recycled raw materials in copper anode^*4*5).
*4(Total volume of copper in recycled raw materials processed by JX Advanced Metals Smelting Co., Ltd. for the month) x (copper yield at Saganoseki Smelter & Refinery for the month) ÷ (total copper in net copper production at Saganoseki Smelter & Refinery for the month)
*5In the electrorefining process, copper anodes are electrolyzed to produce electrolytic copper. Here, there is no input of copper components other than copper anodes. Therefore, the recycling ratio in copper anodes charged in the process is equal to the recycling ratio in electrolytic copper.

*Scope 1 emissions are those from energy consumption (fuel), emissions from incineration of waste materials (waste oil, waste plastic, sludge, waste wood), and emissions from reducing agents, neutralizing agents, graphite electrodes, and recycled materials, converted to CO₂ equivalent. We use the CO₂ emission factors defined by the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures applicable to each fiscal year.
*Scope 2 emissions are those from electricity or heat consumption converted to CO₂ equivalent. This figure includes emissions from thermal energy (steam, hot water, and cold water) supplied by third parties. The emission factors applied for Scope 2 calculation are as follows for domestic and overseas Group operating sites, respectively.
Domestic: The latest adjusted emission factors per electric power utility published by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry are applied
Overseas: Emission factors published by local power companies, national governments, or country-specific emission factors published in the IEA Emission Factors 2024, issued by the International Energy Agency (IEA), are applied
*The quantification of greenhouse gas emissions is subject to uncertainties related to the measurement of activity data and the determination of emission factors, as well as scientific uncertainties concerning the determination of global warming potentials.

*Scope 1 and 2 emissions are calculated for operating sites of high quantitative importance. Scope 3 emissions are calculated mainly for operating sites where production activities are conducted, and the scope of calculation is different for each category.

Scope 3 Calculation Standards

Our company calculates Scope 3 emissions with reference to the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "Basic Guidelines on Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver.2.7)" and the GHG Protocol's "Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard." For emission factors, we select and use appropriate data from the following databases:
?Ministry of the Environment:?"Emissions intensity Database for Calculating Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Organizations Through the Supply Chain (Ver.3.5)"
?"IDEAv3.5 IPCC2021 without LULUCF AR6"?by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Research Institute of Science for Safety and Sustainability
?CO₂ emission factors under the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures
The approach to calculating each category is as follows.

Category 1 Purchased goods and services	The calculation is based on the quantity of raw materials and services purchased by each group company from outside our corporate group^1 (measured in physical volume data^2 and monetary data^3), multiplied by the respective emission factors for each raw material and service. 1：Tatsuta Electric Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. (which became a consolidated subsidiary in August 2024) is not included in the Scope 3 calculations for fiscal year 2024. The same applies throughout this table. 2：The calculation includes production sites of corporations with 21 or more employees (companies marked with ＊ on Editorial Policy). 3：The calculation covers 麻豆传媒映画 Metals Corporation, JX Metals Smelting Co., Ltd., and Toho Titanium Co., Ltd., where data is available.
Category 2 Capital goods	The calculation is based on the acquisition cost of fixed assets newly acquired during the fiscal year, multiplied by the emission factor.
Category 3 Fuel and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or 2	The calculation is based on multiplying the aggregated energy data (activity volume) by the emission factors for each type of energy.
Category 4 Upstream transportation and distribution	The activity volume is based on logistics data (transportation method, transport distance, and cargo volume) for items with identifiable transportation scenarios, such as raw materials and principal products. For shipments of our products, the calculation covers transportation only up to direct customers. Subsequent transportation after processing or other handling by customers is excluded, as various scenarios are possible. In principle, the ton-kilometer method is applied, multiplying by the corresponding emission factor to calculate emissions.
Category 5 Waste generated in operations	The calculation is based on multiplying the total discharge volume by type of waste materials (activity volume) by the emission factors for each waste type. Waste that is recycled or processed within our corporate group is excluded from the calculation.
Category 6 Business travel	The calculation is based on the aggregated employee count data (activity volume), multiplied by the emission factor.
Category 7 Employee commuting	The calculation is made by multiplying the appropriate emission factor per unit of activity for each work pattern and work location, based on the aggregate data of the number of employees and the number of working days as stipulated in the employment regulations and other relevant documents.
Category 8 Upstream leased assets	Emissions from the operation of leased assets, such as vehicles and office equipment, are entirely included in Scope 1 and 2, and are therefore excluded from the calculation.
Category 9 Downstream transportation and distribution	The calculation is based on the same approach as Category 4.
Category 10 Processing of sold products	The calculation is based on the aggregated production data of products manufactured by each group company (activity volume), multiplied by the emission factor.
Category 11 Use of sold products	Our corporate group's products consist of non-ferrous metal materials and catalysts (inorganic substances). Since the products themselves do not consume energy or emit GHGs during use, they are excluded from the calculation.
Category 12 End-of-life treatment of sold products	The calculation is based on the aggregated production data of products manufactured by each group company (activity volume), multiplied by the emission factor.
Category 13 Downstream leased assets	If related facilities not included in Scope 1 and 2 (such as company housing and employee dormitories) are owned, they are accounted for under this category to ensure comprehensiveness, even though they are not leased assets.
Category 14 Franchises	Our corporate group does not operate through franchises, and since there are no applicable activities, this category is excluded.
Category 15 Investments	This category is currently excluded as we are in the process of identifying the applicable companies within our corporate group and examining the approach for calculating Scope 1 and 2 emissions for these companies.

*1Safety performance is aggregated on a calendar-year basis (January–December). Construction and other work ordered by our Group but performed under the supervision of a designated prime contractor are not under the Group’s occupational safety and health management; therefore, from 2024 onward, labor accidents that occur in such work are not counted as accidents of our Group.
*2Safety statistics for subcontractor employees include not only those stationed permanently but also spot vendors. Note that these are subject to statistics for frequency rate and severity rate as of 2020. Cumulative work hours are calculated as follows: Number of permanently stationed subcontractor employees at the end of each month x number of operating days x 8 hours/day.
(Reference) In 2024, the frequency and severity rate of occupational accidents for all businesses in Japan were 2.10 and 0.09, respectively (Source: Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, "Survey on Industrial Accidents")
*3Each accident category is defined as follows.

?

Fatalities: Worker deaths resulting from work-related causes.

?

Accidents with lost work days: Accidents requiring one or more days of absence from work for the purpose of examination, treatment or recuperation. These shall in principle be at a physician's discretion.

?

Accidents without lost work days: An accident that does not require one full day or more of absence from work as diagnosed by a physician, and in which the affected worker is able to go to work after the accident.

?

Heatstroke: An incident that does not involve death or one or more days of absence, but for which a doctor’s diagnosis and intravenous treatment are provided at a hospital.
If death or absence of one or more days occurs, the case is counted under?“Fatal”?or?“Lost-time”?categories and not duplicated here.
(This category was newly established in 2024; prior to 2023, such cases were included within?“Non–lost-time accidents.”)
*4Frequency rate ＝ (Number of casualties due to occupational accidents ÷ Total actual working hours) × 1,000,000
*5Severity rate ＝ (Total number of lost workdays ÷ Total actual working hours) × 1,000
*6The exceptionally high severity rate in 2023 (0.51) was due to one lost-time accident in which a permanent disability occurred; the number of lost workdays was calculated based on the “Table of Lost Workdays by Disability Grade” stipulated in the Ordinance for Enforcement of the Labour Standards Act.
*7The Group defines a serious accident as one that results in four or more lost work days, and considers the occupational injury rate per 1,000 employees to be one of our key indicators for evaluation. (Occupational injury rate per 1,000 employees (four or more lost workdays) = number of casualties with four or more lost workdays ÷ total number of employees (including employees of regular partner companies) x 1,000)
*8There were no personal injuries caused by explosion or fire accidents.
*9The data include Group companies and partner companies. However, since it is difficult to aggregate working hours for partner companies at overseas sites, indicators such as frequency and severity rates are not disclosed for overseas operations.

Independent Practitioner’s Limited Assurance Report

To the President & Representative Director, CEO of 麻豆传媒映画

Conclusion

We have performed a limited assurance engagement on whether selected environmental and social performance indicators (the “subject matter information” or the “SMI”) presented in 麻豆传媒映画 Metals Corporation’s (the “Company”) ESG Data Webpage (/english/sustainability/esg-data/) (the “Webpage”) as of and for the year ended March 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with the criteria (the “Criteria”), which are established by the Company and are explained in the Webpage. The SMI subject to the assurance engagement is indicated in the Webpage with the symbol “”.
Based on the procedures performed and evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention to cause us to believe that the Company’s SMI as of and for the year ended March 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Criteria.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised), Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information, and International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3410, Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Statements, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Our responsibilities” section of our report.
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA).
Our firm applies International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM) 1, Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagements, issued by the IAASB. This standard requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management, including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.

Other information

Our conclusion on the SMI does not extend to any other information that accompanies or contains the SMI (hereafter referred to as “other information”). We have read the other information but have not performed any procedures with respect to the other information.

Responsibilities for the SMI

Management of the Company are responsible for:

designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation of the SMI that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;
selecting or developing suitable criteria for preparing the SMI and appropriately referring to or describing the criteria used; and
preparing the SMI in accordance with the Criteria.

Inherent limitations in preparing the SMI

As described in the Webpage, GHG emissions quantification is subject to uncertainty when measuring activity data, determining emission factors, and considering scientific uncertainty inherent in the Global Warming Potentials. Hence, the selection by management of a different but acceptable measurement method, activity data, emission factors, and relevant assumptions or parameters could have resulted in materially different amounts being reported.

Our responsibilities

We are responsible for:

planning and performing the engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the SMI is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;
forming an independent conclusion, based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained; and
reporting our conclusion to the Company’s management.

Summary of the work we performed as the basis for our conclusion

We exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism throughout the engagement. We designed and performed our procedures to obtain evidence about the SMI that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion. Our procedures selected depended on our understanding of the SMI and other engagement circumstances, and our consideration of areas where material misstatements are likely to arise. In carrying out our engagement, the procedures we performed primarily consisted of:

assessing the suitability of the criteria applied to prepare the SMI;
conducting interviews with the relevant personnel of the Company to obtain an understanding of the key processes, relevant systems and controls in place over the preparation of the SMI;
performing analytical procedures including trend analysis;
identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatements;
performing a site visit at one of the Company’s sites in Japan which was determined through our risk assessment;
performing, on a sample basis, recalculation of amounts presented as part of the SMI;
performing other evidence gathering procedures for selected samples; and
evaluating whether the SMI was presented in accordance with the Criteria.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
