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.
