Environmental Accounting

Environmental accounting is used to quantitatively understand the costs and benefits of environmental protection and utilize the quantitative data as guidelines for business activities.

Concept regarding Environmental Accounting

The TOSHIBA TEC Group uses environmental accounting*, in order to quantitatively understand the costs and benefits of environmental protection and utilize the quantitative data as guidelines for business activities.
Classification of environmental costs and the calculation criteria conform to the "Environmental Accounting Guidelines (Fiscal 2005 Edition)" issued by the Ministry of Environment in Japan.
In regard to benefits, no unified standards have been established; however, environmental impact reduction benefits are indicated quantitatively and also calculated in monetary value in TOSHIBA TEC’s environmental accounting.

• * The TOSHIBA TEC Group conforms to TOSHIBA Group’s environmental accounting.

Aggregated Results in Fiscal 2007

For environmental protection costs, capital investments of approximately 150 million yen and expenses of approximately 1.09 billion yen were made on a consolidated basis. Active investments were made toward global warming prevention and energy-saving measures.
Expenses were reduced by 190 million yen, relative to the previous year.
Benefits resulted in 1.2 billion yen. Greater benefits arose from the reduction of environmental impacts at the product usage stage, for actual benefits and risk reduction benefits.
We will further improve the precision of aggregation including costs and benefits.
