Sustainability Management
Practicing sustainability based on the Corporate Philosophy and CSR activities
We contribute to society through "Monozukuri," which assigns top priority to consideration for the environment throughout all business activities, in order to hand down our irreplaceable Earth in a sound state to the next generation.
Practice of Sustainability
The TOSHIBA TEC Group practices sustainability based on the corporate philosophy and CSR activities. Given "sustainability management," "development and distribution of eco-products," "promotion of eco-process" and "promotion of environmental communication" as the important pillars of sustainability, the TOSHIBA TEC Group is actively promoting environmental protection.
Sustainability Management
As a member of the TOSHIBA Group, the TOSHIBA TEC Group has established the "Fourth Voluntary Plan for Environmental Protection" as a concrete target to achieve the "Environmental Vision 2050" announced by the TOSHIBA Group in November 2007, and has been implementing environmental improvements to protect the global environment.
Development and Distribution of Eco-Products
By introducing "product eco-efficiency" as an assessment indicator to provide high-quality products with little environmental impact, the TOSHIBA TEC Group has been developing and distributing environmentally conscious products or ECPs. We believe it is essential to create a sustainable society while providing products with higher "product eco-efficiency" in value and environmental impact for the new affluence of customers and society.
In addition, TOSHIBA TEC Corporation has established recycling systems to actively collect end-of-use products throughout Japan. TOSHIBA TEC Corporation also contributes to the creation of a recycling-based society while promoting 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle).
Promotion of Eco-process
There has been a growing interest in global warming prevention, because the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol (from 2008 to 2012) has started and the Hokkaido Toyako Summit is scheduled. TOSHIBA TEC Corporation pursues building production sites with lower environmental impacts, along with reduction in CO2 emissions, resource conservation and control of chemical substances, to achieve the goals of the Kyoto Protocol.
Promotion of Environmental Communication
Environmental communication is regarded as an important activity to properly provide stakeholders with environmental information through websites and brochures, while listening to their opinions and requests.
Sustainability is practiced by expanding each employee's environmental awareness to show an interest in the environment in society and at home.
