In order to prevent contamination with chemical substances and reduce contamination risks, Toshiba Group independently established the Structural Design Guidelines to prevent leaks of chemicals at its eight types of environment-related facilities such as wastewater treatment plants, and its overseas bases are also promoting continuous improvements in this area. In FY2008, Toshiba Group achieved a compliance rate of 99% for all of Toshiba's bases and 91% for all of its group companies' bases in Japan.
In its overseas operations, at the time of establishing a new business or relocating a business, Toshiba Group also assesses contamination risks by investigating land use and contamination histories. Assessments are made in accordance with laws and regulations in each country, and Toshiba Group's own rigorous standards are applied in countries without relevant legislation.
In accordance with the Air Pollution Prevention Act, the amount of impact is calculated by multiplying the concentration of each substance by the amount of the substance emitted.
