Environmental Vision 2050

Aiming to reduce the environmental impacts in the Eco Process

The Eco Process in pursuit of an environmentally conscious factory is one of two actions that support the Energy Approach and the Eco Products Approach under the overarching theme of the Environmental Vision 2050.

The Toshiba Group’s target was initially a 25% reduction in energyoriginated CO₂ emissions in fiscal 2010 compared with fiscal 1990 based on the rate to net production output. Following the achievement of a 42% reduction in fiscal 2007, the Toshiba Group revised the target for fiscal 2010 to a 45% reduction and has set a target for fiscal 2012 of a 47% reduction. The Toshiba Group will promote investment in energy-saving initiatives, the pursuit of energy-saving clean rooms, and innovation in production processes in order to minimize CO₂ emissions.

Promoting Eco Programs through communications and solutions

A wide range of environmental activities are indispensable in addition to Eco Process. These include communications with stakeholders, such as providing environment-related information and engaging in constructive dialogue. Toshiba Group also provides environmental solutions, including technologies and tools for analyzing and assessing the environmental impacts of products throughout their life cycles, such as comprehensive assessments of environmental impacts and control of chemical substances contained in our products.
