Toshiba Exhibits at The 7th Eco-Products International Fair in India

[2 March, 2011]

Toshiba showed why it is on the way to being a world-class eco-leading company at The 7th Eco-Products International Fair, held in New Delhi, India's capital, from February 10 to 12.

Now it is its seventh year, Eco-Products International Fair (EPIF) is Asia's largest annual international environmental fair. Dedicated to introducing state-of-the-art environmental technologies and environmentally conscious products, services and activities, EPIF is held at different Asian venue every year. This year was the turn of New Delhi, where the theme was “Green productivity − for sustainable energy and for the environment”.

Toshiba's booth had a lot of ground to cover: a wide range of products and services; introductions to its diverse environmental, CSR and business activities worldwide; and a look at how Toshiba Group is contributing to India's development and a better quality of life with minimal environmental impacts. All this was done successfully in three zones: “Social Infrastructure”, “Life Style Products” and “Corporate Stage”.

The "Social Infrastructure" zone, showed how Smart Community can help shape projects like the Delhi- Mumbai Industrial Corridor(see below), and featured displays of water treatment systems, a hybrid diesel-electric locomotive, airport and weather radar, inverter and motor systems, elevators, industrial air-conditioner, Eco-MFP, and thermal, hydro, geothermal and nuclear power plant equipment and systems − all of which offer solutions to energy and environmental problems faced by India and other countries.

The "Life Style Products" zone focused attention on the “Power TV” family, developed specifically for emerging markets, and on 3DTV, portable PCs, refrigerators, washing machines, home air-conditioners, NAND flash memory, SSD and LED lighting. This broad line-up underlined how Toshiba's environmentally conscious products offer customer richer, more convenient lifestyles.

On the "Corporate Stage" the emphasis was on Toshiba Group Environmental Vision 2050, Toshiba's wider businesses and corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, such as the Solar Lantern Project in India,

The 7th Eco-Products International Fair was hosted by the Asian Productivity Organization, India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry and Industrial Policy Promotion Bureau and the Indian productivity center. More than 200 companies and organizations exhibited.
