MAY 2009 Greenpeace Assessment
Summary: 2/100
Toshiba provided timely information but this focused only on product efficiency. The Japanese firm has a good leader statement on its website, but needs to provide evidence of this as a speech. The company needs to improve its emissions reduction target and renewables use too.
Public Climate Speech: 1/10
Good website statement but needs to demonstrate this as a leader speech.
Political Advocacy: 0/25
Toshiba group is involved in advocacy work via electronic companies group position in Japan but it is unclear what role Toshiba plays as an individual company.
Climate Solutions: 0/50
Information provided focused only on energy efficiency rather than solutions to reduce emissions in other sectors of the economy where the greatest gains can be made. Provides lifecycle figures for products, so has potential to improve.
Own Emissions Target: 0/10
Toshiba has no absolute target and should not use solar power solution to offset it's own emissions.
Renewable Energy Use: 1/5
Generates 0.1 percent of its current global energy usage via renewables, needs to dramatically improve this target.
