Greening of Process refers to our initiatives aimed at mini-mizing inputs such as materials and energy in manufacturing
processes globally, reducing the discharge of waste and
chemical substances, and keeping environmental impacts
to a minimum—even if production increases. In FY2012, by
reducing power consumption for air conditioning and light-ing, restricting the use of electricity, conducting global en-ergy-saving diagnosis, making production adjustments, and
taking other measures, Toshiba Group reduced its total green-house gas emissions to less than half of the FY1990 level (2.76
million tons). We will strive to both increase productivity and
reduce environmental impacts in all three areas: mitigation of
climate change, effective use of resources, and management
of chemicals. Thus we aim to increase eco-efficiency to 1.5
times the FY2000 level and pursue the world’s lowest level of
environmental impacts by FY2015
