Successfully calculated and linked CO₂ data in Phase 2 of the “CO₂ Data Linkage in a Virtual Supply Chain” demonstration experiment organized by the Green x Digital Consortium (Secretariat: JEITA)

Toshiba Corporation / Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation

oshiba Corporation and Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation participated in Phase 2 of the “CO₂ Data Linkage in a Virtual Supply Chain” demonstration experiment hosted by the Green x Digital Consortium, which is under the secretariat of the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), and succeeded in calculating and linking CO₂ data.

In this demonstration experiment, CO₂ data^*1 was calculated, sent, received, and visualized in a virtual supply chain based on the CO₂ data calculation method formulated by the Consortium’s Visualization Working Group as well as the “CO₂ Visualization Framework” and the “Technical Specifications for Data Linkage.”^*2 These technologies will be improved in cooperation with the WBCSD Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT),^*3 an international initiative, while ensuring international interoperability.

In the future, Toshiba Corporation and Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation will use the knowledge obtained in this demonstration experiment as the basis for developing solutions that support the manufacturing industry, which is working to respond to climate change and environmental issues, and aim to provide a supply chain network environment that enables user companies to efficiently make use of CO₂ data distribution and a utilization service that demonstrates the benefits to companies that provide data.

• CO₂ data:
  Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions) converted to carbon dioxide (kg-CO₂ eq) in the manner defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
