The current plan was initially scheduled to run from fiscal year 2005 to fiscal year 2010, but the company will now extend it to fiscal year 2012, to coincide with the end of the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. In extending the plan, Toshiba will define new targets for enhancing the effect of carbon dioxide emissions reduction through the introduction of eco-products, and revise up its targets for other measures to mitigate global warming and environmental impacts.
The revised plan also introduces two new new measures: targets for cutting water consumption; and enhance creating products that apply standards for certifying standout environmentally conscious products as "Excellent ECP."
An Excellent ECP mark will be introduced, and any product carrying it will represent the highest level in product value and reduced environmental impact, as calculated by Toshiba's Factor T. This fiscal year, two products were certified to this mark for the first time, a notebook PC and a LED downlight, and Toshiba targets creation of 15 Excellent ECP products by 2010, and 25 by 2012.
In its business processes, Toshiba has revised up its 2010 targets, as the company is already ahead of its interim targets for 2007, and set up new added goals for 2012. The company has also added a new category, reduction of water consumptions, as a further means to decrease environmental impacts. The target figure by basic manufacturing unit is a 9% reduction by 2010 and a 10% reduction by 2012.
