Toshiba Group is promoting Greening of Process, an initiative for high-efficiency manufacturing, which aims to minimize resource inputs in production processes in Japan and abroad, eliminate waste in manufacturing processes, and reduce to a minimum emissions into the atmosphere and waters, thus achieving the world’s lowest level of environmental impact. Specifically, this initiative consists of two efforts: “improvement of plant efficiency,” which refers to efforts to grasp energy consumption appropriately in order to ensure effective improvement of equipment operation and introduce high-efficiency equipment, and “process innovation,” which aims to achieve sustainable manufacturing in collaboration with all units involved in manufacturing.
