External Communication

Toshiba Tec Group states in its Corporate Philosophy; "We put concern for the environment as a priority in all our business activities so as to protect people's safety and health as well as the world's natural resources."

Therefore, we are committed to addressing environmental issues with a genuine attitude, to build a sustainable society.

However, it is essential not only for Toshiba Tec Group but also for people in different positions over the world, to recognize such a commitment, in order to address environmental issues in society and advance environmental activities together. Thus, we are improving communications throughout a variety of media, for people to understand its stance and activities toward environmental protection.

Global Environmental Action

The Seventh Environmental Action Plan promotes communication activities that suit the Age of New Normal by focusing on creating networks with stakeholders and on the basis of cooperation with community residents, NPOs, NGOs and the government and also among employees. In addition, we launched activities under five themes, adding “Nature” to conventional themes of “Energy,” “Resources,” “Chemical Substances,” and “Water” that were tackled in the Sixth Environmental Action Plan. As in the past, we establish recommended themes every year and develop environmental contribution activities on a worldwide basis.

In fiscal 2021, under the above-described direction, we conducted a total of 88 activities mainly on the recommended theme of “Energy.”
