Company introduces a new concept of environmental management
“T-Compass”
Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced publication
of the English edition of the Toshiba Group Environmental Report 2013. The
report includes coverage of environmental efforts in manufacturing processes,
environmentally conscious products, environmental technology, and “T-Compass,”
the new concept of environmental management that Toshiba Group has introduced
in this fiscal year.
In T-Compass, the letters of the four cardinal points—north,
south, east and west—represent environmental issues Toshiba Group is
addressing: Natural resources (Minimizing the amount of natural resources
consumed) ; Substances (Minimizing the risks involved in chemical substances) ;
Energy (Responding to climate change and energy issues) ; and Water (Minimizing
the amount of water resources consumed) . By presenting its environmental
contributions in concrete terms in the four major domains, Toshiba Group will
explain simply about its activities to stakeholders inside and outside the
Group. The ultimate objective is to secure a position as one of the world’s
foremost eco-companies by strategically addressing new global trends, including
the Scope3 Standard and environmental footprints, and to advance environmental
management to new levels.
