GREEN PRODUCT PROCUREMENT
The EC is actively promoting the WEEE & RoHS Directives that define standards for recycling and
reuse of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and for the Restriction of the use of certain
Hazardous Substances. From July 1, 2006, the RoHS Directive will prohibit any marketing of new
products containing the restricted substances.
Increasing attention is given to issues related to the global environmental. Toshiba Corporation
recognizes environmental protection as a key management tasks, and is doing its utmost to enhance
and improve the quality and scope of its environmental activities. In line with this, Toshiba
proactively promotes Green Procurement, and seeks to purchase and use products, parts and
materials that have low environmental impacts.
Green procurement of parts is not only confined to manufacture. The same green parts used in
manufacture must also be used as replacement parts.
