About Toshiba > Social and Environmental Activities > Environmental Management > Management > System:
In order to raise the level of environmental activities, we provide environmental education programs for all employees. These education programs are composed of (1) position-based education courses, (2) general education courses, (3) specialized education courses, and (4) ISO 14001 education courses, offering curriculums designed to meet the needs of different posts, occupational roles and specialties. Curriculums are reviewed annually for all education courses in order to help employees share the latest information.
In general education courses designed for all members of the group, we use e-learning to provide lessons to employees at local branches and to employees on business trips using mobile PCs in order to save time on transportation and to improve attendance rates.
In specialized education courses, we provide ECP education and inhouse environmental auditor education. ECP education is provided for development and design engineers to help them learn the basics of ECP development and approaches to environmental conscious design.
We also offer programs for obtaining national and public certificates required for environmental activities. We will provide measures to encourage using environmental household accounts (Eco Family) and taking the ECO test* in order to raise environmental awareness among employees and their family members.
We will continue to improve our education programs and will promote the use of IT in our environmental education programs for all employees.

As part of our in-house auditor education, we provide training for auditors for our comprehensive environmental auditing system (EASTER), 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 FY2008, 24 employees were certified as site auditors, 13 as technology auditors and 6 as overseas local auditors. The current number of certified auditors is 272.
