• Toshiba's Initiatives for Reconstruction and Power Saving

In order to become one of the world’s foremost eco companies, Toshiba Group is approaching environmental management from three perspectives: Greening of Process, Greening of Products, and Greening by Technology. As a foundation to support these goals, we are promoting Green Management, an initiative for continuously improving environmental management and communication. As a basis for promoting environmental management, we have formulated the Basic Policy for the Environment, based on which we have developed the Environmental Vision, which sets numerical targets to be achieved, and Environmental Action Plan, which is designed to achieve these targets.

In promoting Green Management, in addition to giving priority to ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, we provide a wide range of environmental education programs for all employees. Along with working to acquire ISO 14001 certification, we monitor, through our own environmental audit system, the progress of environmental management, the development of environmentally conscious products, and the status of environmental activities at each business site to improve the level of these initiatives. Furthermore, in order to provide incentives to take on environmental challenges, we have developed an environmental award system for organizations, teams, and individuals as well as a performance evaluation system for in-house and key group companies, thereby facilitating continuous improvements in the level of environmental activities.

As part of its environmental communication programs, Toshiba Group communicates information on the environmental aspects of its production activities as well as products and services. It also advances initiatives to encourage considering environmental issues with the general public by promoting collaboration with stakeholders, social contribution activities, and other projects in various countries and regions around the world.
