Environmental Promotion Structure

Practicing Sustainability as an Integrated-group System
Policies regarding group-wide commitments toward environmental protection are determined and implemented in order to hand down our irreplaceable Earth in a sound state to the next generation. The TOSHIBA TEC Group creates culture for each employee to practice environmental activities gained from environmental education, while establishing a global system for environmental management promotion and checking activities through environmental management audits and accounting.

Environmental Promotion Structure

Chaired by an Environmental Group Officer, the Corporate Environmental Protection Council is designed to discuss and determine policies and directions regarding corporate-wide sustainability. This Council is considered to be one of the commitments of the CSR Promotion Committee. The Environmental Management Promotion Committee as a subordinate organization controls the Environmental Promotion Committee and ECP* Promotion Committee. The Environmental Management Promotion Committee reviews concrete measures for business sites and plants, while the ECP Promotion Committee does for products.
