Characteristic 1: Visualizing the environmental issues through
Toshiba Group’s unique radar chart
T-Compass expresses LCA-based environmental indicators using
its own radar chart. Symbols of the four cardinal compass points
are used to represent the four major domains all Toshiba Group
companies should address. In addition, other highly relevant
environmental indicators are arranged appropriately on the
compass to make reductions in overall environmental impacts easy
to understand visually.
In addition to typical environmental indicators in the four major
domains, other indicators are also defined in detail (up to eight or
twelve points on the compass), thus enabling the disclosure of the
environmental information most appropriate to the recipients (see
the table below).
As for indicators whose calculation method is still under discussion
and has not been reached agreement, they will gradually be
disclosed while referring to trends in international discussions
