Guide to Greener Electronics - Toshiba March 2009

Toshiba drops to 7th place with a reduced score of 5.3, losing points on the chemicals and energy criteria. It drops a point on its understanding of the precautionary principle due to a much poorer explanation of this important principle on Toshiba’s Corporate website, as compared to its PC site. The company also loses points on its commitment to cutting GHGs, as the proposed cuts are only relative, and on the energy efficiency of its products. The reporting of the energy efficiency of its PCs is unclear and on TVs, Toshiba reports only on the efficiency of US TVs; the data on models exceeding the latest Energy Star v.3.0 standard is confusing.
