Climate change, the depletion of energy and resources, the issue of marine plastics, conservation of biodiversity, and various other environmental issues have intensified to the point where they threaten the safe, secure lives of future generations.
In order to contribute to tackling these issues through its corporate activities, Toshiba Group has formulated the Environmental Future Vision 2050 as a new long-term vision from a global perspective. As part of efforts to realize the ideal situation in 2050, we have set the “respond to climate change,” “respond to the circular economy,” and “consider ecosystems” as the items of material issues in the environmental field along with specific KPIs pertaining to these initiatives.

We promote corporate activities with full consideration for the present and future global environment throughout the entire value chain, from design, procurement, manufacture, distribution, sales and disposal.
