The Basic Policy for the Environment has been revised along with the policy change to "Pro-active Environmental Management" where stakeholders' increasing demands for corporate efforts for environmental management are integrated with business and environment, as well as the new addition of biodiversity.

We, the TOSHIBA TEC Group as a global enterprise, which expands its operations on a global basis under the businesses of Retail Solutions and Document Solutions, Inkjet Heads and associated services and supplies, contribute to society by reducing our customers' and our environmental impacts through "Monozukuri," by creating environmentally conscious products or ECPs.

We practice global sustainability with the aim of realizing a low-carbon society, recycling-based society and natural symbiosis society by seeking a combination of business and environmental activities, in order to hand down to our next generation, our irreplaceable Earth in a sound state.
