N/A Included in scope 1 and 2

9 Transportation and distribution (downstream)

Excluded Excluded because Alps Alpine products are intermediate products and emissions cannot be reasonably calculated

10 Processing of sold products

Excluded Excluded because Alps Alpine products are intermediate products and emissions cannot be reasonably calculated

11 Use of sold products

Excluded Excluded because intermediate products sold are processed into a large variety of finished products, making it difficult to ascertain emissions and therefore calculations cannot be reasonably performed

12 End of life treatment of sold products

Excluded Not applicable because Alps Alpine is an electronic components manufacturer and therefore a midstream company

13 Leased assets (downstream)

N/A Not applicable because there are no corresponding business activities

14 Franchises

N/A Not applicable because there are no corresponding business activities

15 Investments
