*1 Figures include employees at overseas branches, sub-branch offices and representative offices of the Company. *2 Figures are as of June 1 of each fiscal year. *3 Figures are as of April 1 of the subsequent fiscal year. Our targets for FY2030 are to achieve at least 20% females in managerial positions, at least 10% females in department general manager-level positions, and at least 30% females on the Board of Directors. *4 Items subject to calculation of the gender wage gap: Monthly salary (base pay, adjustment pay, secondment allowance, separate living allowance, teleworking allowance, overtime work allowance, late-night premium allowance for managers), bonus. Reason for gap: Our remuneration system is based on the principles of “Pay for job, Pay for performance”. Accordingly, employees at the same job grade̶with equivalent roles and responsibilities̶receive equal pay regardless of gender. The main factor behind the gender wage gap is the lower proportion of women in management positions compared with men, resulting in fewer female managers overall. This reflects the fact that, historically, the Company had two career tracks at the time of hiring, and many female employees were in the administrative track, which in principle did not require relocation. Employees in this track primarily handled administrative work and supported employees in the professional track. In 2022, we integrated these tracks and transitioned to a system enabling employees to build their careers more flexibly based on their individual skills, capabilities, and aspirations. As a result, an increasing number of employees from the former administrative track are being promoted to management positions. As the number of female managers rises, we expect the gender wage gap to steadily narrow. *5 T he “ratio of eligible male employees taking childcare leave” is calculated based on the ratio of employees taking childcare leave or leave intended for childcare under Article 71-6, Item 2 of the Ordinance for Enforcement of the Act on Childcare Leave, Caregiver Leave, and Other Measures for the Welfare of Workers Caring for Children or Other Family Members (Ministry of Labour Ordinance No. 25, 1991) in accordance with the provisions of the Act on Childcare Leave, Caregiver Leave, and Other Measures for the Welfare of Workers Caring for Children or Other Family Members (Act No. 76, 1991). *6 Training hosted by the Head Office targeted at Head Office employees and employees of overseas bases and business companies. The scope of calculation was partially revised in FY2023. From FY2024, we have introduced the e-learning platform LinkedIn Learning.

*7 In determining the scope of aggregation, we apply the operational control approach under the GHG Protocol. *8 From the perspective of importance, some Group companies with small business revenue and those that do not fall under the category of high-emission businesses are excluded. Notes: 1. H ere, we refer to various information sources from the GHG Protocolʼs Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard and the Green Value Chain Platform led by the Ministry of the Environment. 2. For trading transactions involving third-party products, revenue recognition is based on IFRS 15 Revenue Recognition, and only applies when the Group is the principal in the transaction. 3. For transactions within the Sumitomo Corporation Group, double counting within the group is excluded only when double counting is clearly identified for the same emission source, for the purpose of eliminating double counting within the group. 4. For emissions related to Cat4/9 transportation, domestic transportation of low significance is excluded. 5. F or intermediate products sold, if the processing process up to the final product cannot be identified, they are excluded from the calculation.
