Philanthropy capitalizing on our expertise
The TOSHIBA TEC Group donated its products and provided services to charity. The Group actively strives to promote philanthropy, which capitalizes on its expertise.
TOSHIBA TEC CORPORATION
TOSHIBA TEC Corporation donated a Toshiba MFP (digital malfunction peripheral) to the NGO "Save the Children JAPAN" Tokyo Home Office and has also been maintaining the device. Based upon the mission of the "Convention on the Rights of the Child" adopted by the United Nations, the international aid agency "Save the Chi ldren" was established in 28 countries to help children in need throughout 128 countries around the world. Our MFP plays an important role in exchanging information with overseas organizations and providing educational programs.
TOSHIBA TEC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (SHENZHEN) CO., LTD.
TOSHIBA TEC Information Systems (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. donated Toshiba MFPs to the "Chengdu Panda Base" in Chengdu, Sichuan, P.R. China. The "Chengdu Panda Base" was es tablished in 1987 with the aim of protecting and breeding endangered giant pandas. The MFPs were placed in the laboratory and library of the Chengdu Panda Base and are being utilized.
TOSHIBA AMERICA BUSINESS SOLUTIONS, INC. (TABS)
In partnership with the major league Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, TABS conducted the "Triples for kids" program during the 2007 baseball season. For every triple hit by an Angels player at their home stadium, TABS donated a Toshiba printer to an Orange County school.
Thanks to the outstanding performance of the Angels players, TABS donated printers to Orange Country schools.
Erasable toner "e-blue" frequently used in MFPs in-house!
TOSHIBA TEC Corporation develops and markets MFPs with an erasable toner "e-blue*" mounted as copy toner. This toner erases printed text and images through heat processing, thus, a sheet of paper can be used repeatedly.
Actively using this "e-blue MFP" in-house fosters each employee´s environmental awareness and offers customers the in-house built operating model, which recycles paper, to expand sales of MFPs.
- * Mechanism of "e-blue"
Adding an erasing agent to the ink can erase data by bonding the erasing agent and coloring agent to remove pigment as well as breaking the bond between the pigment and coloring agent during overheating.
Universal Design (UD) Activities
Adherence to JIS and ISO, compliance with laws and regulations such as Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act, in conjunction with the consideration for a large amount of people including elderly people and people with disabilities, which are aimed at achieving universal design (UD), receive the most attention as one of the required corporate social responsibilities (CSR). As a member of the TOSHIBA Group, TOSHIBA TEC Corporation actively works on UD to develop "Universal Design" products, which anyone can easily use, to achieve UD. In 2007, we asked visually-impaired and hearing-impaired people, and people with upper-limb and lower-limb paresthesia who usually use MFPs, to use the Toshiba MFPs, and conducted user surveys while checking the usage of UD functions and listening to their opinions. We promote universal design (UD) throughout multilateral activities including product development, investigation, research and organization.
Household Eco-Account Book "Minister of Environment at Your Home (Eco-Family)"
TOSHIBA TEC Corporation has been participating in the Household Eco-Account Book "Minister of Environment at Your Home (Eco-Family)" since 2006. At the beginning, employees did not have much interest in the Household Eco-Account Book. However, the Hokkaido Toyako Summit scheduled for July 2008 attracts national attention for the environment and encourages our employees to develop more interest in the Household Eco-Account Book. As a result, the registration rate reached 55.2% at the end of March 2008.
