Toshiba Tec Response to climate change

Minimizing CO₂ emissions due to energy consumption

We continue to reduce CO₂ emissions through the systematic implementation of measures such as switching to LED lighting and upgrading to energy-saving equipment mainly at overseas sites by effectively using subsidy systems. Our multifaceted emission reduction initiatives also include the greening of rooftops and installation of solar panels.

Approach by each site

At manufacturing and non-manufacturing sites in Japan and overseas, we are working to introduce renewable energy and switch to LED lighting.

Switching to LED lighting

We have systematically switched to LED lighting at all bases to promote energy saving.

Introducing LED lighting and reviewing the number of lighting fixtures

Toshiba Tec Corporation (Headquarters)

LED lighting has higher illuminance than fluorescent lighting, and requires half as many fixtures, which contributes to reducing power consumption and the environmental impact.

Update of air conditioning and clean room chillers by using subsidies

Toshiba Tec Shizuoka Business Center (Mishima)

We achieved energy saving by using subsidies to update air conditioning and clean room chillers, and eventually reduced CO₂ emissions.

Prevention of air leakage from compressor pipes

Toshiba Tec Corporation, Shizuoka Business Center (Mishima)

Air leaks from compressor facilities and pipes can cause large amounts of wasteful energy to be consumed. In order to minimize this, we periodically use detectors to check for any air leakage from these sources.

Expansion of Carbon-Offset Programs

Toshiba Tec Germany Imaging Systems GmbH

The carbon-offset program is a system allowing users to take part in an environmental contribution project according to the amount of CO₂ emitted from MFPs. We at Toshiba Tec Germany Imaging Systems GmbH have been expanding this carbon-offset program in European countries and working on the program since 2010, which started being provided to POS systems and bar code printers in the United Kingdom in 2009.

Minimizing CO₂ emissions associated with product transportation

Transportation without packaging

In the setup center, we implemented transportation without packaging where products are transported in a ready-to-use state to reduce environmental impact in transportation and waste of transportation packaging.
We expanded the application of this method from delivery to specific customers using chartered trucks to small-lot mixed cargo transportation.
