Environmental education and qualification

In order to raise the level of environmental activities, we provide environmental education programs for all employees. These education programs are composed of (1) general education courses, (2) ISO 14001 education courses, and (3) specialized education courses, offering curriculums designed to meet the needs of different posts, occupational roles, and specialties. All curricula for these courses are reviewed annually in order to help employees share the latest information. Starting in FY2011, we introduced training courses for biodiversity promotion leaders. In addition to enriching the content of our specialized environmental education programs, we will develop Toshiba eco-style leaders according to the Fifth Environmental Action Plan.

We provide training for auditors for our in-house environmental auditing system, which was put into practice in 1993. In the training program for site auditors, candidates are screened through group education, on-site training and a written examination. After the screening, candidates participate in actual audits as assistants and submit reports in order to be certified as auditors. Technology auditors are certified through group education and a written examination. In FY2011, 21 employees were certified as site auditors, 8 as technology auditors and 16 as overseas local auditors. The current number of certified auditors is 323.
