Toshiba Publishes English Edition of Environmental Report 2013 Company introduces a new concept of environmental management T-Compass
22 Oct, 2013
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.
Environmental Report 2013 covers activities in FY2012, among them the sales figure of Excellent ECPs 1, greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain, conservation of biodiversity and Toshiba Group Global Environmental Action by the 200,000 employees around the world. The report can be downloaded from the Toshiba Environment website at: http://www.toshiba.co.jp/env/en/report/.

The report has the following sections:
