Toshiba Carbon Balance Program
To maintain sustainable global environment, we perform various activities to reduce environmental impact.
It is clear that human activities are affecting the global climate, so it is vital that we find ways to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
This is where carbon balancing can help. Carbon balance is a way to reduce the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere by balancing or cancelling the amount of these gases through participation in environmental projects.
Tree Planting Program
On November 30th, 2024, we organized a Plant-A-Tree program with our e-waste partners and customers at Ulu Pandan Park Connector. In collaboration with the National Parks Board and Garden City Fund, a total of 29 volunteers from Toshiba and e-waste partners (10 companies) planted 8 beautiful trees, including Dwarf Ylang-Ylang, River Tarenna, and Seahorse Ardisia. This shared environmental passion unites us, aligning our personal and corporate goals to create a greener, more eco-friendly Singapore.
Beach Clean-Up Programme
In collaboration with Georges @ The Cove (Pasir Ris) and the involvement of Toshiba Group of Companies employees as Volunteers, the beach Clean-up activity at Pasir Ris Park was carried out successfully on Wednesday, 11 December 2024. In total, we have 50 volunteers participating in this meaningful event and collectively collected 53 kg of trash from Pasir Ris Park. This event showcased the commitment of Toshiba employees and the power of community collaboration in making a positive environmental impact.
E-waste Recycling Program
To promote the awareness on proper disposal of electronic waste (e-waste), we organized annual recycling week for employees to collect and dispose their e-waste to licensed e-waste collector at our company. The event ran from 7th to 11th Oct 2024 and collected 1.3 tons of e-waste for recycling.
On-going E-Waste
Recycling Campaign
On top of that, we have worked with our authorised e-waste vendor (Metech Recycling Pte Ltd) to design and distribute E-waste Recycling Bin at our customer premises in Singapore as an effort to reduce and recycle E-Waste.
Singapore Packaging Agreement (SPA)
After signing the SPA, Toshiba TEC Singapore has been active in reducing packaging waste, including replace wooden pallets with plastic pallets, use reusable metal cages to reduce plastic film, worked with supplier to use plastic container and trolley to reduce packaging wastes. Through usage of sustainable resources in packaging and minimizing packaging materials in our product, it reduced product cost and enabler lesser fuel to transport products.
