Toshiba Group is promoting the development of ECPsNote , which involves environmentally conscious product design, the assessment of environmental impact of products and disclosure of the environmental performance of products. Products in compliance with the Voluntary Environmental Standards for Products established in 1999 are certified as ECPs. Having introduced “Factor T”, Toshiba’s original coefficient ciency indicator, in fiscal 2003, we are also working to improve product eco-efficiency. In accordance with the “Environmental Vision 2010” announced in fiscal 2005, the Toshiba Group aims to improve product eco-efficiency 2.2 fold by fiscal 2010. We have been applying Factor T in ECP development since fiscal 2005, setting annual “Factor T” targets for all Toshiba Group products.
