For home appliances adopting the uniform energy-saving label, we set a replacement cycle guideline using refrigerators, air conditioners, and warm water washing toilet seats made in fiscal 2013 as the base models. For average GHG emissions per product in fiscal 2013, an approximate emissions guideline was extracted for each category from Energy-Saving Replacement Navigation: Shinkyusan issued by the Ministry of the Environment. For fiscal 2021 to 2023, the amount of reduction was calculated based on the number of environmentally friendly products (subject categories were reviewed due to a change in the energy-saving labeling system for air conditioners in fiscal 2023) sold and the difference in emissions from when the same number of base model products were sold. (The approach to targets for fiscal 2025 and 2030 involves calculations assuming there is no change in the achievement rate of energy-saving standards under the Top Runner Program.)
