At Toshiba Group we develop and apply our own measures
to achieve reductions in environmental impacts. For
example, in FY1993 we introduced LCA, a method for
lifecycle environmental impact assessment, and in FY2003
we introduced “factor,” as a measure of improvement in eco-
efficiency. In FY2013, we introduced a new environmental
management concept called T-Compass, in order to
strategically capture new global trends, such as widening
the scope and coverage of the environmental aspects of
business.
As the environmental compass for Toshiba, T-Compass
represents all environmental issues that need addressing
with the North, South, East and West symbols of the
compass. While there has been no change to our prior
approach of reducing our overall environmental impacts, by
speci cally identifying environmental contributions in four
main areas we believe that Toshiba Group will be able to
better share the value we are providing with both internal
and external shareholders. While taking on board leading-
edge discussions, we aim to make the environmental
information that we disclose easier to understand.
Toshiba Group’s Environmental Compass:
“T-COMPASS”
Minimization of

consumption
Minimization of
water resource

Minimization

climate change
