As a global company, we have a global and corporate social responsibility to set clear, obtainable objectives that include lowering emissions and helping both biodiversity and the environment. We couldn’t do this without the help of every employee. So we place huge importance on environmental education, sustainability management, awareness campaigns and active, wide-scale promotion of internal and external environmental activities.
As solutions for various environmental issues, including climate change, are called for, the Toshiba Group has developed the Environmental Future Vision 2050 – a vision that reinforces our corporate social responsibility and envisages lifestyles in harmony with the earth. We endeavour to contribute to society with passion and determination, to create new value through revolutionary innovations and realise this vision. Sustainability is a core part of our corporate philosophy and everything we do is aimed at achieving a low-carbon, recycling-based society.
Learn more about our Environmental Vision 2050In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, companies are increasingly recognising the importance of integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into their operations. As a company that provides workplace solutions to other organisations, we understand that our commitment to ESG is not just a responsibility, but a necessity for businesses.
At Toshiba, we firmly believe that sustainable practices are crucial for long-term success. We are dedicated to minimising our environmental footprint, promoting social well-being, and upholding strong governance principles throughout our operations. By embracing ESG principles, we aim to create a positive impact on the world around us while delivering exceptional value to our suppliers and customers.
Reduce. Reuse.Recycle.
The idea of a circular economy is based on a very simple fact. We live on a planet with limited resources – which includes the ability of our environment to deal with pollution. If resources are limited and emissions need to be avoided, then there cannot be unlimited growth. The impending global warming and its consequences force all of us in industry, politics and society in general to act.
This is why Toshiba offers solutions for the sustainable use of resources. Our products and services offer many opportunities and innovations towards the reuse of materials. The number of materials used in our devices is kept as low as possible, are recyclable and can easily be dismantled. Our commitment to circularity extends to toner cartridge recycling and reuse. We prioritise relieving end users by collecting used cartridges, ensuring minimal waste production.
Energy efficient product design, service that covers the entire life cycle of a product and the avoidance of packaging waste are what make up the circular 3R-Design: Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
Today, at least 50% of components used in similar printer devices are identical and 95% of our multifunction printer can be recycled or even reused. The vision that accompanies a circular economy is that of a completely regenerative global supply chain that functions without using up limited resources.
We give highest priority to conserving and protecting resources during every part of a product’s life-cycle. We take measures to conserve energy and resources and reduce the burden on the environment. At the same time we understand the needs of our customers. Therefore, we make sure that our products and solutions not only have an ecological benefit, but also impact the economy and efficiency of businesses.
The UN has 17 measurable Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which Toshiba Tec is working hard to support. We are currently contributing towards 15 of them. This set of 17 measurable Sustainable Development Goals aim to improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth, while working to preserve our oceans and forests. They build on the work of the Millennium Development Goals and are an intergovernmental set of aspirational goals with 169 targets.
Through our environmentally conscious products, our contribution to a circular economy and our partnerships, we strive to support the Corporate Social Responsibility goals and the commitments of our customers.
One such partnership is our collaboration with CleanHub to reduce plastic pollution. Toshiba Tec partners with CleanHub to safeguard the environment by actively preventing plastic waste from polluting oceans and vulnerable natural areas, focusing on high-risk regions in South and Southeast Asia.
CleanHub works with local communities to establish waste collection points, benefiting over 100,000 households. Their third-party-approved platform provides real-time tracking and ensures sustainable waste processing with full transparency.
We always conduct our business activities by bearing in mind our status as a corporate citizen of planet Earth. We give top priority to human life, safety and compliance in practicing CSR management.
