SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES

Prevention of Global Warming and Energy Conservation

The reduction in CO2 emissions associated with business activities is undertaken. The TOSHIBA TEC Group does not emit any greenhouse gases other than CO2.

Minimizing impacts due to Increase in Energy Consumptions

Energy-saving activities through improvements in management and investments in facilities are conducted at plants in and outside Japan, in order to reduce CO2 emissions associated with energy consumptions.
In fiscal 2007, CO2 emissions in Japan remained unchanged compared with fiscal 2006 but were reduced by 43% relative to fiscal 1990. Energy-saving activities were conducted through investments in facilities by replacing with high-efficient air conditioning systems and lighting fixtures, as well as continuous improvements in management in fiscal 2007.
CO2 emissions at plants outside Japan were reduced by 7% relative to fiscal 2006, through improvements in management, by eliminating unnecessary power facilities including air conditioning systems and lighting fixtures.
