Committed to People, Committed to the Future.
Committed to people, Committed to the future. Toshiba has long positioned this basic commitment as the core text of its corporate philosophy, and we formulate strategies and do business grounded in the following beliefs and to contribute to a better world.
Today, in our everyday lives, we are asked to be responsible for a sustainable future. Natural disasters caused by climate change threatening the safety and security of our lives. Social and environmental stability are impaired by problems such as information inequality and natural resource depletion.
If we are to overcome these issue and achieve sustainability for the world and its people, it is necessary to realize "safe and secure lives for every person" and "social and environmental stability" at the same time.

Advancing Global Efforts Toward Carbon Neutrality and a Circular Economy
Toshiba is working for a sustainable future for the earth and its people by contributing to the realization of carbon neutrality and a circular economy. Specific initiatives include protecting the safety and security of individual livelihoods by building infrastructure that is accessible to everyone, and ensuring social and environmental stability by building a society connected by data. For many years now, Toshiba has engaged in businesses that support essential social infrastructure, including power generation, water treatment and transportation. Today, the knowledge, technology and customer connections cultivated thorough these businesses are invaluable assets. We will draw on them as we continue to create previously unseen value by maximizing the power of data.
Most of us carry smartphones, and routinely rely on them for information exchanges. In addition, with the progress of IoT and sensors, it is possible to collect information from sites, including manufacturing sites, and to analyze and utilize it in meaningful ways. We live in a time when we all have to utilize the power of data. Combining data from cyberspace with real-world data creates a positive feedback loop, and a powerful tool for companies looking to enhance competitiveness.
Toshiba is fully utilizing the power of data for the sustainability of the world and its people. Over 50 years in developing AI, and our work in world-leading quantum and CPS technologies, will realize the power of data to the full.

Shaping the Future: Toshiba's Path to Digital and Quantum Transformation
The development of the digital economy is bringing major changes to the business environment. Toshiba sees the key moving forward in (1) the idea of "Software Defined," which separates applications, software, and hardware, and which can advance DE (Digital Evolution), the digitization of the current value chain; (2) the data this provides can be utilized in DX (Digital Transformation); and then provide platforms for data utilized in DX, beyond that, (3) we will see the creation of social value from quantum technology that drives forward QX (Quantum Transformation), which will optimally connect all platforms across industries and raise the competitiveness of companies. At Toshiba, we will accelerate DE, DX and QX toward achieving carbon neutrality and the circular economy.
We see this as a time where the power of data is of crucial importance. Toshiba is maximizing and making the most of that power by focusing on industrial data and human data. With the former, we take data generated by companies operating in the fields of infrastructure and energy, analyze it with AI technology and other tools, and use it to create novel services. We also analyze the data from people who use those companies’ products and services, and apply it in creating even more valuable services. In addition, we recognize the importance of data distribution and storage, and so, also provide devices that support information infrastructure.
QX envisages a world where quantum technology allows optimal connection of many and different platforms, beyond the framework of industry. The expectation is that, when QX is realized, we will see synergies that create social value that delivers sustainability for people and the earth. Toshiba has cultivated quantum technology for many years, and will now accelerate research and development to realize QX, and create products and services in areas such as quantum cryptography and quantum computers.
Building a Sustainable Future: Toshiba’s Commitment to Global Stability and Social Impact
Realizing "safe and secure lives for people everywhere" and "social and environmental stability"
To achieve these goals, we will contribute by creating "infrastructure that benefits all of us," that responds to social issues such as poverty, human rights violations, disasters and conflicts. We will also contribute to the “realization of a society connected by data,” to support conservation protection of the global environment against climate change and resource depletion, and to promote education and equality.
