Introduction

Based on the Basic Policy for the Environment, Toshiba Group is working to systematically promote environmental initiatives in accordance with the Environmental Vision which sets numerical targets to be achieved as well as establishes voluntary environmental plans. Voluntary environmental plans are action plans for achieving the numerical targets.

In order to achieve the goals of the voluntary environmental plans, we have developed an environmental management structure aimed at promoting initiatives that form the core of our environmental management. In addition to measures that ensure compliance with laws and regulations, which is our top priority, we provide a wide range of environmental education programs for all employees. We are also working to develop an ISO 14001 system aimed at ensuring legal compliance and supporting management structures within individual companies and to monitor our environmental management, development of environmentally conscious products and environmental activities at our business sites through our environmental auditing system (EASTER) in order to improve the level of activities. As a tool for the management and analysis of environmental information and environmental accounting data, we have created a global environmental management information system, which is centrally controlled. And in order to provide incentives to take on environmental challenges, we have developed an environmental award system for organizations, teams and individuals and a performance evaluation system for in-house companies and key group companies.
