Considerations in the Preparation of CSR Report and Website

Production, printing and distribution of the Toshiba Group CSR Report 2012 (English edition) reflect the following environmental considerations:

Paper

Use of FSC-certified Paper

Paper certified by Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is used, which is made from wood from FSC-certified forests.

Use of Forest Thinning Support Paper

Toshiba Group supports forest thinning project in Misawa City, Aomori prefecture, aiming to preserve the nature for the next generation.

• Reference site: Morino Chonai-Kai (A separate window will open.)

Use of Paper Made from Domestic Wood

In the Kyoto Protocol, Japan set a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 6%, 3.9 %, of which namely about two-thirds will be achieved by CO₂ absorption by forests.
Active consumption of domestic wood leads to the growth of healthy forests, which will absorb considerable CO₂. While expressing our gratitude towards forests, we print this brochure using paper made from domestic wood to contribute to the further absorption of CO₂ by domestic forests.

Printing

Waterless Printing

Waterless printing, a printing process that eliminates the use of water, is adopted, taking advantage of the characteristics of printing plates made of ink-shedding material.

Non-VOC Ink

100% vegetable ink containing no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is used.

Considerations in the Preparation of Website

Toshiba CSR website adheres to the Toshiba Web Accessibility Guidelines and has been created taking into consideration a great number of users with different backgrounds, purpose and conditions of use in order to ensure the smooth availability of information.
