Green ManagementGreening of Process
Greening by Technology
Toshiba Group has developed “Environmental Vision 2050”
as the corporate vision under which we aim to realize a
world in which people can enjoy affluent lifestyles in
harmony with the Earth by the year 2050. The Vision requires
the Group to increase the degree of improvement in overall
eco-e ciency by ten times (Factor 10) by 2050 against the
2000 level. Toward that goal we are now following the Fifth
Environmental Action Plan, which we initiated in FY2012,
under which we promote four “Green” concepts-“Greening
of Process” (environmentally conscious manufacturing),
“Greening of Products” (creation of Environmental
Management products with the highest level of
environmental performance), “Greening by Technology”
(low-carbon energy technologies), and “Green Management”
(continuous improvement of basic activities). In this Action
Plan, we are further integrating business management and
environmental management in all business areas, and have
set speci c goals to ensure continuous business growth and
reduce environmental impacts.
We are now implementing the Fifth Environmental Action Plan and promoting environmental
management with the four “Greens” concepts.
In October 2011, the global population exceeded 7 billion people. Rapid population growth and urbanization are forecast for
the emerging markets of Asia and Africa. Alongside this, we need to deal with associated issues; issues on a global scale that
are interconnected and impact on one another in a complex way, such as climate change, the depletion of minerals, metals,
fossil fuels and other resources that support today’s society, as well as energy, water and food shortages.
Toshiba has been integrating business management and environmental management, and aims to establish ourselves as
one of the world’s foremost eco-companies.
