And this is theprevious modelfor comparison.

“Factor” is an indicator enabling overall assessment There are so many issues to be addressed for our future,

such as prevention of global warming, prevention of the

depletion of the ozone layer, and energy saving.

“Eco-efficiency” and “Factor” are indicators that help

promote such efforts.

ImpactReduction Factor

The benchmark product is usually a previous model of the product subject to assessment. The product subject to assessment is usually a new product. So, the value of the factor indicates to what extent the eco-efficiency of the product has increased or, in other words, the greater equilibrium achieved between the value and environmental impact of the product.

The greater the factor, the greaterthe overall benefit of the product.

This factor is also considerablygreater than 1!

Calculation of value factorTo obtain the value factor of a product, the value of a product is calculated based on the functions and performance of the product, using the quality function deployment (QFD) technique. The degree of importance of the required quality is obtained based on the voice of customer, and then the degree of improvement of the product’s specifications compared with the benchmark model is expressed numerically.

Environmental impact reduction factorOverall assessment of various environmental impacts, not just a single environmental impact, is performed using the Life Cycle Impact Assessment Method Based on Endpoint Modeling (LIME) developed by the Research Center for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). The degree of reduction of environmental impacts of a product compared with the benchmark model is numerically expressed.

Factor T is Toshiba’s unique methodology. The “value of a product” is calculated using Toshiba’s unique method based on the product’s

functions and performance, taking the voice of customer into consideration. The “environmental impact of a product” is calculated,

taking into consideration various environmental impacts throughout its life cycle (from procurement of materials, manufacturing and

distribution, through to usage and disposal). “T” of Factor T stands for Toshiba.

Toshiba uses “Factor T” in its efforts to create ECPs.

The graph at the beginning of the product introduction shows factors of

products using two axes: “value factor” and “environmental impact

reduction factor”.

The slope of each line indicates which has a larger effect on the factor,

enhancement of the value or reduction of the environmental impact.

Toshiba group’s Factor is the value factor of product multiplied by environmental impact reduction factor

I want factors to become

bigger and bigger!

The factor of a product for 2007 is calculated compared with a model for

2000. The values in parentheses indicate “value factor” (left) and

“ienvironmental impact reduction factor” (right).

In the case of this TV, the “value factor” is 2.06, the “environmental impact

reduction factor” is 1.28, and the factor is 2.63 ( 2.06 x 1.28 = 2.63 )

*The environmental impact reduction factor is the inverse of the environmental impact factor. So, the environmental impact reduction factor equals 1/environmental impact factor.

Energy Approach

Reduction of CO2 emissions in a given fiscal year is estimated based on comparison with typical conventional facilities, such as coal-fired power generation plants, in the period from design to the start of operation.

Estimate based on comparison between major product lines shipped in a given fiscal year and products introduced in fiscal 2000 throughout their lifecycle. (Excluding energy supply products such as power generation plants)

As a specific measure for achievement of Environmental Vision 2050, we are pursuing the Energy Approach that emphasizes the stable supply of reliable energy and the reduction of CO2 emissions.By pursuing innovation not only in conven-tional energy—nuclear, thermal and hydro-electric power generation, but also in the field of new energy, such as distrib-uted power and renewable energy, Toshiba Group aims to contribute to reduction of CO2 emissions of 82 million tons in fiscal 2025.

In its drive to create eco products that achieve two targets—creation of new value in harmony with the Earth—Toshiba Group applies Factor T, a unique eco-efficiency indicator for overall evaluation of a product’s value and its environmental impacts. Numerous products with excellent functions and high performance as well as impressive environmental credentials have been

created based on Factor T.If all products shipped by Toshiba Group in fiscal 2006 had replaced all products shipped in fiscal 2000, the reduced environmental impacts calculated as CO2 emissions throughout product life cycles would amount to 4.7 million tons per year. Through unceasing innovation, we aim to slash CO2 emissions by 7.3 million tons in fiscal 2010 and by 35.7 million tons in fiscal 2025.

Toshiba Group aims to make Environmental Vision 2050 a reality by pursuing two complementary approaches. While the Energy Approach emphasizes the stable supply of reliable energy and the reduction of CO2 emissions, the Eco Products Approach focuses on creating new value in harmony with the Earth through high eco-efficiency products.
