GHG Emissions in the Supply Chain

As climate change becomes an increasingly serious issue, companies must manage not only their own greenhouse gas (GHG)*1 emissions but also emissions generated across their entire value chain. Based on the GHG Protocol*2, which provides international standards for calculating GHG emissions, and the Ministry of the Environment's Basic Guidelines for Calculating GHG Emissions throughout the Value Chain, Toshiba Tec Group calculates indirect GHG emissions generated outside the scope of its own business activities (Scope 3) in addition to its own emissions (Scope 1 & 2) in accordance with Toshiba Group's Policy. Toshiba Tec Group will continue working effectively throughout product lifecycles by quantitatively analyzing emissions per category as described above.
