Revenue intensity

Carbon / $m revenue

—tCO2e / $m revenue

Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.

—

Operational intensity

Carbon / $m OpEx

—tCO2e / $m OpEx

OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.

—

Economic intensity

Carbon / $m EVIC

—tCO2e / $m EVIC

EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?

—

Asset intensity

Carbon / $m PP&E + leased

—tCO2e / $m PP&E

PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.

Approach to renewable energy

RE100 member targeting 100% renewable electricity by FY2030

Daiichi Sankyo is a member of RE100 and aims for 100% renewable electricity by FY2030, with FY2025 KPI of at least 60%. Achieved 80.0% in FY2023. Key initiatives include: Pfaffenhofen Plant (Germany) on 100% renewable electricity since 2014 with on-site 580 MWh solar; Shanghai Plant ~540 MWh solar (saving 300 tCO2/yr); Onahama Plant ~4,000 MWh solar with Nearly ZEB-certified new office cutting energy use by 78%. Also converting to biomass wood pellets for steam.

Approach to carbon removals

No narrative on durable removals approach in the firm's most recent reports.

Primary decarbonisation levers

Energy efficiency and ZEB buildings
Constructed Group's first Nearly ZEB-certified office at Onahama Plant (March 2023), cutting standard building energy consumption by 78% (51.9% from energy savings, 26.9% from on-site generation). Combines high-efficiency air conditioning, water heating, and lighting equipment.
On-site solar PV and renewable electricity procurement
Group installing self-consumption solar PV at major plants (Pfaffenhofen 580 MWh, Shanghai 540 MWh, Onahama 4,000 MWh) and converting purchased electricity to renewable sources. Drove renewable electricity from 9.4% (FY2021) to 80.0% (FY2023), cutting market-based Scope 2 from 103,150 to 23,994 tCO2e.
Fuel switch to biomass and hydrogen utilization
In FY2023, Pfaffenhofen Plant began converting to renewable fuels using biomass wood pellets for steam production. Long-term value chain initiatives also include hydrogen utilization, next-generation batteries, and electric vehicles.

Dependent decarbonisation levers

Green chemistry and sustainable manufacturing
Group identifies Green Chemistry (manufacturing process considering global environment, reducing raw material and energy consumption) and bioplastics utilization as decarbonisation levers across R&D, pharmaceutical technology, and supply chain.
Supplier 1.5°C engagement (Scope 3 Cat 1)
FY2025 KPI: have more than 70% of business partners set 1.5°C-aligned targets. Group is strengthening engagement because Scope 3 Cat 1 (purchased goods and services) dominates the footprint at 3.9M tCO2e in FY2023. Also set FY2025 target of 15% reduction in CO2 emission intensity based on sales (Scope 3 Cat 1) vs FY2020.
