To promote business activities aimed at reducing the environmental
impacts of hazardous chemicals and the risks
involved in using them, it is essential to obtain the cooperation
of suppliers, our business partners, for those activities
for which the supply chain as a whole must be targeted. We
request the understanding and cooperation of our suppliers
in our green procurement initiatives aimed at creating
a sustainable society. We also request that they make environmental
assessments and conduct research on and evaluations
of the chemicals contained in the materials and parts
they supply and report the results of independent assessments
on their level of green procurement (according to
Toshiba’s standards) in accordance with ISO 14001.
