The environmental management that Toshiba Group aims to have in fiscal 2010 is expressed in Environmental Vision 2010. With this vision, the eco-efficiency concept has been introduced for determining targets.
In general, eco-efficiency is calculated by comparing the amount of value created and the amount of environmental impacts. For example, if production of a certain product has a large impact on the environment, eco-efficiency of that product is low. The greater the value created with a given environmental impact, the higher the eco-efficiency.
The key target of Environmental Vision 2010 is for Toshiba Group to double its overall eco-efficiency by fiscal 2010 compared with fiscal 2000. Environmental Vision 2010 seeks to enhance overall ecoefficiency throughout products and business processes.
