CSR Report:

Considerations in the preparation of CSR Report and Website


Production, printing and distribution of the Toshiba Group CSR Report 2009 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 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.

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.

Color Universal Design

Color Universal Design-certified

We sought to use colors and patterns that are easy to distinguish regardless of the difference in color vision among people. Following the monitoring check, the Report gained a color universal design certification from the Color Universal Design Organization, an NPO.
