Action Plan

Sixth Environmental Action Plan

Based on world trends including SDGs and ESG investment as well as Toshiba Group's policy, we formulated the Sixth Environmental Action Plan and have started activities since fiscal 2017. In fiscal 2018, while all quantitative targets were achieved, qualitative targets were smoothly achieved. We will keep making efforts to achieve the targets by fiscal 2020.

Sustainability
Creation of Sustainable Society To contribute to the realization of a low-carbon society, a recycling-based society and a society coexisting with nature through our business activities and cooperative solidarity with regions and society Continuously create Only One products and solutions, and demonstrate environmental contribution to the society and customers. Remarkable activities corresponding to the needs of each area and society are carried out to demonstrate environmental contribution to the society. Presented the Smart Receipt, Loops and RFID system.
