New Value Combining Product Value and Environmental Consciousness
In its drive to create eco products that achieve two targets - creation of new value in harmony with the Earth - Toshiba Group applies Factor T, a unique eco-efficiency indicator for overall evaluation of a product's value and its environmental impacts. Numerous products with excellent functions and high performance as well as impressive environmental credentials have been created based on Factor T.
If all products shipped by Toshiba Group in FY2007 had replaced all products shipped in FY2000, the reduced environmental impacts calculated as CO2 emissions throughout product life cycles would amount to 4.7 million tons per year. Through unceasing innovation, we aim to slash CO2 emissions by 7.3 million tons in FY2012 and by 35.7 million tons in FY2025.
Toshiba Group' s products deliver convenience and comfort to users. However, they also have environmental impacts in terms of energy, resources, and chemical substances at each phase of their life cycles from production and distribution to usage and final disposal.
From the viewpoints of mitigation of climate change, efficient use of resources, and management of chemicals, Toshiba Group is engaged in a concerted effort to minimize environmental impacts throughout product life cycles. At the same time, by emphasizing creation of new value to enrich the user experience - in terms of productivity, safety, comfort and sheer delight - we are proposing new eco lifestyles enabling customers to enjoy affluence, in harmony with the Earth.
