Toshiba Group is promoting the Greening of Process initiative from three perspectives: mitigation of climate change, effective use of resources, and management of chemical substances. In terms of climate change, the CO2 emission coefficient for electricity in Japan has deteriorated considerably due to the effects of the March 11, 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, and indications are that this is greatly affecting Toshiba Group, where electricity-derived CO2 emissions account for a majority of total GHG emissions. Toshiba Group is actively taking energy conservation measures on a company-wide scale. We will grasp energy consumption in real time (visualization), analyze data (easy-to-understand), and take actions for improvement (motivation). Especially in FY2013, the Group plans to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 60,000 tons by concentrating efforts on semiconductor plants, which account for nearly half of the Group’s total GHG emissions. In terms of effective use of resources, we will continue to make maximum use of our ingenuity to reduce the total volume of waste generated and final waste disposal volumes as well as strive to use valuable water resources effectively. As for management of chemicals, the Group will make efforts to reduce the amount of targeted substances handled and discharged mainly through the introduction of alternative substances and process improvements. In the future, we will endeavor to achieve the world’s lowest level of environmental impacts by realizing high-efficiency manufacturing that enhances our business competitiveness.
