Corporate Social Responsibility
Toshiba Group's Corporate Philosophy emphasizes respect for people, creation of new value, and contribution to society. The Group slogan - "Committed to People, Committed to the Future. TOSHIBA." - expresses the essence of our corporate philosophy. We recognize that it is our corporate social responsibility (CSR) to put our philosophy and slogan into practice in our day-to-day business activities. In doing so, we accord the highest priority to human life and safety and legal compliance.

Commitment to People
We endeavor to serve the needs of all people, especially our customers, shareholders, and employees by implementing forward-looking corporate strategies while carrying out responsible and responsive business activities. As good corporate citizens, we actively contribute to further the goals of society.
 
Commitment to the Future
By continually developing innovative technologies centering on the fields of electronics and energy, we strive to create products and services that enhance human life, and which lead to a thriving, healthy society. We constantly seek new approaches that help realize the goals of the world community, including ways to improve the global environment.

The Environment
The impact of human activities on the environment exceeds the environmental capacity of the Earth, bringing about such crises as global warming and depletion of natural resources and jeopardizing the global ecosystem. It is necessary to realize a sustainable society by carrying out initiatives aimed at a low-carbon society, a recyclingbased society, and a society that coexists with nature.
Toshiba Group manages its business operations as a corporate citizen of planet Earth with the future of the world in mind. Underlying this commitment is a corporate culture that emphasizes “integrity,” which means soundness and sincerity. We have formulated the Toshiba Group Environmental Vision 2050 to realize a vision of a world in which “People lead richer lifestyles in harmony with the Earth” by 2050.

Eco-efficiency for business processes
The goal of Toshiba Group is to increase eco-efficiency for business processes. In line with this, and in addition to the Environmental Conscious Products (ECP) concept, Toshiba Medical Systems applies this approach also when it comes to construction of buildings in order to reduce CO2 emissions, reduce consumption of municipal water, and restore the natural cycle by draining rainwater into the ground. As significant measures to recycle water, we introduced a water-permeable construction and a grey-water system. We have also employed measures such as installation of energy-saving light fixtures to significantly reduce the amount of CO2 emitted due to the consumption of electricity.
