2025)) of the Company meets the criteria in all material respects. Subject Matter Information and Criteria The subject matter information for our assurance is a 'report on greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, Scope 2 (location-based and market-based))and other indirect greenhouse gas emissions that occur in the Company's value chain (Scope 3 (Categories: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12,13))" covering the operations and activities at the Company in Japan (629 domestic sites) and its group companies, as described in the "FY2024 GHG Emissions Calculation Report" (period: 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025).

The management of the Company is responsible for maintaining adequate records and internal controls that are designed to support the reporting process and ensure that the "FY2024 GHG Emissions Calculation Repoif' (period: 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025) is free from material misstatement whether intentional or negligent. Assurance Practitioner's Responsibility The responsibility of SOCOTEC is to express a limited assurance conclusion as to whether the subject matter information has been prepared in compliance with the criteria in all material respects. We have performed limited assurance engagement in accordance with the verification procedures stipulated by SOGOTEC and "JIS Q 14064-3:2023 (ISO 14064-3:2019) Specification with guidance for the verification and validation of greenhouse gas statements'. The procedures performed in the limited assurance engagement are limited in their type, timing and scope as compared to the procedures performed in the reasonable assurance engagement. As a result, our limited assurance engagement does not provide as high assurance as reasonable assurance engagement. Our procedures performed depend on the assurance professional practitioner's judgement, including an assessment of the risk of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Our conclusion was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls. We believe that we have obtained the evidence to provide a basis for our limited assurance conclusions. 1/2 SOCOTEC Assurance Procedures The procedures that SOCOTEC has performed are based on professional judgement and include, but are not limited to: Evaluation of policies and procedures created by the Company in relation to subject matter information Enquiries to the Company personnel to understand the above policies and procedures Verification that the target project meets eligibility requirements Matching with the basis data by trial calculation and recalculation Obtaining and collating material for important assumptions and other data Sites visited to confirm the calculation structure and procedures, data collection and implementation status of record control: Head office / Kagoshima-Chuo Station / Kagoshima Rolling Stock Center / Head Office of JR Hakata City Co., Ltd. / Head Office of Caterpillar Kyushu Ltd.
