Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Message from Top Management

We will first endeavor to regain trust, 
and then enhance our corporate value 
and resolve social issues.
We will strive to become a company 
that evolves by reorganizing the 
Group’s businesses through spin-offs.

Satoshi Tsunakawa

Representative Executive Officer, 
President and CEO

Review of Past Events and Direction of Future Management

First of all, I would like to express my sincere apologies to our shareholders, investors, and all other stakeholders 
for any inconvenience and concern caused by the continued confusion in the management of Toshiba Group.

In recent years, we have been making Group-wide efforts to restore our financial strength, earning power, and 
the confidence of our stakeholders—all of which were impaired by inappropriate accounting and massive losses 
in our overseas nuclear power business. However, after concerns were raised over whether the Annual General 
Meeting of Shareholders held in July 2020 was managed fairly, the reappointments of two Outside Directors, 
including the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, were rejected at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders 
held in June 2021. Subsequently, one of the Outside Directors resigned, and since then the Board of Directors 
operates with eight members. Toshiba’s Corporate Governance Guidelines stipulate that, in principle, the 
Chairperson of the Board of Directors should be elected from among the Outside Directors. However, based on 

03

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021the judgment of the Board of Directors in light of the circumstances, I have been serving concurrently as 
Chairperson of the Board of Directors to date on a temporary basis.

With regard to the “Pressure Issue,” we assigned to the Governance Enhancement Committee (the “GEC”), 
which consists mainly of outside third parties, the mission of analyzing the root causes, and received a report 
from the GEC in November 2021.

Here, I would like to reflect on the content of the report and state our resolve to prevent recurrence and 
restore trust. I will also explain the changes that are to take place in Toshiba Group’s management in line with the 
policy for reorganizing our business structure that we announced in November 2021, as well as the outlook for 
the future.

04

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Message from Top Management

Response to the GEC Report

Although the report on the “Pressure Issue” received from the GEC concluded that the acts of former executive 

officers were not illegal, it did state that the series of acts in question “as a whole violated business ethics 

required by the relevant market,” and I take this point very seriously.

The Essence of Toshiba includes the phrase “Do the right thing” as one of our important values, and the 

majority of our employees approach their daily work with this principle in mind. Nevertheless, the fact that 

certain members of the management team acted in a manner that is incompatible with this value requires 

sincere reflection on the part of the company. Toshiba had been one of the early examples of introducing a 

company with three committees, etc., system, and had endeavored to boost the effectiveness of the Board of 

Directors through the predominance of Outside Directors. In fact, however, the reports and information provided 

to the Board of Directors, as well as its meeting agenda, were not necessarily sufficient to supervise business 

execution, and we had not fully leveraged the extensive experience and diversity of the Outside Directors. I 

believe that this was at the root of the problem.

The GEC report made four suggestions for developing the recurrence prevention measures: (i) “development 

of sound trust relationship with shareholders,” (ii) “rectification of Toshiba’s tendency to be overly dependent on 

administrative authorities,” (iii) “redevelopment of corporate governance,” and (iv) “tone at the top.” In response, 

our directors and executive officers held discussions and formulated measures to prevent recurrence, and on 

December 16, 2021, we announced the “Notice Regarding Recurrence Prevention Measures Based on Suggestions 
in Investigation Report of Governance Enhancement Committee.” We will continue our efforts to regain the trust 
of our shareholders and other stakeholders, which has been undermined by this issue, as soon as possible by 

taking concrete steps to implement the recurrence prevention measures we have formulated based on our 

reflections on the issue.

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Announcement of Policy on Toshiba Group’s Reorganization through Spin-offs

As part of our reform of Toshiba Group management with the aim of enhancing our corporate value, we recently 

announced  a  policy  on  strategic  reorganization,  pursuant  to  which  Toshiba  will  reorganize  into  three 

independent companies by conducting a spin-off of Toshiba’s core businesses into two new publicly listed 

companies.

The executive team and the Strategic Review Committee (the “SRC”), which consists of five Outside Directors, 

engaged in ongoing dialogue with major shareholders and other shareholders and investors, to reach the 

decision on this policy. At the same time, the executive team was working on the formulation of a mid-term 

business plan assuming that Toshiba Group’s management would remain the same, but shareholders and 

investors called for a major revamp of our business portfolio, and some even suggesting that we should go 

private to increase our corporate value. Based on the results of the discussions at the SRC that ensued, we 

materialized the reorganization plan involving spin-offs. Through this reorganization, we intend to divide Toshiba 

Group into three independent companies: Infrastructure Service Co., Device Co. (both tentative names), and the 

current Toshiba. Under the plan, Infrastructure Service Co. and Device Co. are to be publicly listed with their 

respective shares distributed to our shareholders.

Infrastructure Service Co. will aim to establish a top-class position in Japan as a leading company for tackling 

two tasks facing society, namely realizing carbon neutrality and infrastructure resilience. The said company will 

also be looking to expand its share of global markets, particularly in Asia. By drawing on the cyber-physical 

technologies  that  have  been  our  focus,  Infrastructure  Ser vice  Co.  will  offer  Energy×Digital  and 

Infrastructure×Digital solutions, while also forging stronger ties with our customers and business partners. Device 

Co., meanwhile, will lead the evolution of social infrastructure and information infrastructure and will accelerate 

its growth in the global market by leveraging its strength in the supply of power semiconductors and nearline 

HDDs.

One of the advantages of spin-offs is that by separating businesses with different business cycles, investment 

scale, and target customer industries/markets, it becomes possible to allocate capital in a way that matches each 

business, thereby improving investment efficiency. As for the management structure, directors and executive 

officers who are most familiar with the business of each company will be selected, leading to faster decision-

making. Shareholders and investors will also be able to take advantage of investment opportunities in line with 

their expectations for each business.

This plan is merely the beginning of a process of further evolving Toshiba Group. Since the announcement on 

November 12, 2021, we have continued to review our portfolio and other properties to determine the best growth 

strategy for each of our businesses, and we will continue to do so throughout the preparation period for the spin-

offs.

We will carefully communicate the rationale for this strategic reorganization to facilitate the understanding of 

our shareholders and other stakeholders on the benefits it will bring to them.

Policy on Shareholder Returns

It has been Toshiba’s policy for some time to return to shareholders any equity in excess of the appropriate level 

of capital, including through share repurchases. To maximize shareholder value, we intend to monetize shares in 

KIOXIA Holdings Corporation held by Toshiba after the spin-off as soon as practicable. We will return the net 

proceeds to shareholders in full, instead of returning a majority as was formerly the case, to the extent that doing 

so does not interfere with the smooth implementation of the intended spin-off.

We will continue to utilize appropriate leverage and review our portfolio on an ongoing basis to achieve both 

shareholder returns and corporate growth as a means to increase total shareholder return (TSR).

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Message from Top Management

Redefining Material Issues with an Eye to the Future

Toshiba  Group  identified  “Respect  for  Human  Rights,”  “CSR  Management  in  the  Supply  Chain,”  and 

“Environmental Management” as material issues (key themes) in 2013 and we have continued our efforts to 

tackle these issues. In recent years, however, calls for companies to address SDGs and climate change have risen 

worldwide, leading to significant changes in how people recognize issues facing society. We have therefore 

redefined our material issues following discussions and deliberations by the Sustainability Strategy Committee.

The new material issues comprise three in the environmental (E) area: response to climate change; response 

to the circular economy; and consideration of ecosystems; five in the social (S) area: securing, retaining and 

developing human resources; employees’ health and safety; respect for human rights; promotion of sustainable 

procurement; and enhancing research and development to create innovation; and two in the governance (G) 

area: strengthening governance; and improving 

cyber  resilience.  As  such,  we  have  selected 

issues that connect directly with our aspirations 

(i.e., goals) for each area in 2030.

We  will  tackle  these  material  issues  as 

efforts  in  line  with  our  Sustainability  Policy 

based on the Essence of Toshiba. I expect that 

“Committed  to  People,  Committed  to  the 

Future,” which is our resolve embedded in the 

Basic  Commitment  of  Toshiba  Group,  be 

inherited  as  universal principles by  the new 

companies after the spin-off, so that Toshiba 

Group’s DNA will contribute to sustainability. As 

we look ahead to the future in 2030, we will 

continue to implement initiatives for addressing 

the new material issues, and ensure that they 

take root throughout Toshiba Group.

Moving Forward with Our Stakeholders

To win back the trust of our stakeholders, we will create a corporate culture that emphasizes transparency, 

integrity, and communication. We will also carry out the spin-off plan to concretely demonstrate that it is not so 

much a dismantling of Toshiba Group as an evolution, and that it will bring about co-existence and co-prosperity 

with all of our stakeholders. We will also continue endeavoring to provide such explanations in ways that are easy 

to understand, so that our shareholders can properly comprehend the significance of this strategic reorganization 

and the value that it will bring.

Some employees may have reservations about the major changes in Toshiba Group’s management brought 

about by the spin-off plan, but we will continue to provide them with solid explanations of our future growth 

strategy and promise to keep their workplaces rewarding. In this way, we will further draw out the potential of 

every individual to build companies that grow alongside them.

In addition, we will deploy our diverse technologies to create a wide range of products and services that are 

appreciated by customers around the world, while continuing to advance forward as companies that delight in 

contributing to the development of society.

The two years I have spent on the board of Toshiba Corpora-
tion have been challenging and, to some extent, troubling. 
      Toshiba  employs  approximately  120,000  people,  operates 
through around 20 business units and has subsidiaries in over 
30  countries.    In  an  organization  of  this  size,  no  matter  how 
strong the controls and processes, it is inevitable that the com-
pany  will  have  to  deal  with  unforeseen  incidents,  corporate 
and employee misconduct and unexpected losses. But how an 
organization  reacts  and  deals  with  such  events  is  the  critical 
test and in the case of Toshiba, its reputation for trust-worthi-
ness,  strong  management  and  responsible  behavior  have 
come under strong stakeholder scrutiny. 
   While I have been unable to visit Tokyo for the last 16 months, 
my impression prior to being unable to travel and in my deal-
ings  since,  is  that  Toshiba  employs  many  good  and  reliable 
people who want to do the right thing, act ethically and work 
very hard for the Company.  I have seen them brought low and 
upset by the adverse news headlines and other reports featur-
ing Toshiba over the last year.  These people expect their lead-
ers to set a good example and who stand for good values and 
live by strong ethics. The report of the Governance Enhance-
ment  Committee,  published  on  November  12,  2021  will  help 
Toshiba strengthen its values and guide management and em-
ployees in the setting of new standards of behavior. 
      The  development  of  the  mid-term  business  plan  has  also 
been a complex and time-consuming undertaking and, togeth-
er with my fellow board members, I hope that stakeholders will 
recognize the strategic thought that has gone into our recom-
mended Separation Plan. 
   We have much to do over the coming months but I remain 
both excited to be working with the Chairman and my fellow 
board  members  and  equally  determined  to  guide  Toshiba 
through these challenging times. 

Looking  back  over  this  past  year,  we  were  faced  by  drastic 
changes, as seen in the persisting COVID-19 pandemic, and the 
shortage of various supplies and concerns over inflation. How-
ever,  the  changes  that  have  taken  place  within  Toshiba  was 
more  intense  than  those  external  events.  The  shareholders’ 
proposal to set up an independent committee was approved at 
the EGM*1 held in March 2021. The findings of this independent 
committee were announced in June 2021, with extremely se-
vere consequences for Toshiba. At the 182nd AGM*2, sharehold-
ers decided to take another step further toward changing the 
composition  of  the  Board.  The  new  management  and  Board 
must take this message to heart, and Toshiba must overcome 
various challenges to restore the trust of shareholders.
The highest priority is to raise the Company’s level of corporate 
governance to one that is compatible with global standards. In 
this process, Toshiba launched the Governance Enhancement 
Committee  (GEC)  this  summer.  With  the  participation  of  out-
side experts, the goal of GEC is to analyze the root cause of the 
“Pressure Issue” stated in the investigation report dated June 
10, 2021 and prevent reoccurrence. Going forward, not only do 
we need to address the “Pressure Issue,” but we also need to 
further verify Toshiba’s corporate governance overall and bring 
it to the best practice in the global arena.
The second issue is that Toshiba’s current stock price does not 
necessarily reflect its potential corporate value. The COVID-19 
pandemic by far accelerated digitalization that has been going 
on for the past decade. It is vital that we build a winning strate-
gy  to  ensure  our  survival  in  an  intensely  competitive  world 
where  the  winner  takes  all.  To  ensure  the  success  of  Toshiba 
and bridge this gap between its stock price and corporate val-
ue,  we  need  to  thoroughly  examine  various  factors,  such  as 
Toshiba’s comprehensive capabilities and potential synergies 
between business divisions, to further promote selection and 
focus of our business portfolio.
I intend to make all-out efforts together with the management 
and the other directors to overcome these challenges so that 
all Toshiba stakeholders will be able to share a brighter future.

The past years have brought challenges for all of us resulting 
from  disruptions  related  to  Covid-19.  These  disruptions  have 
impacted Toshiba in many ways but they haven’t stopped the 
company from pushing forward with improvements in gover-
nance and an increased focus on shareholder returns and re-
turn on invested capital. These improvements will likely require 
considerable restructuring of some of Toshiba’s businesses in 
order  to  focus  on  infrastructure  services,  electronic  devices, 
data services, and on opportunities related to the environment 
and de-carbonization. This restructuring will likely also result 
in changes in ownership in some of Toshiba’s subsidiaries.  In 
the past, there were multiple subsidiary buy in acquisitions to 
help  simplify  the  ownership  structure  of  Toshiba.  Going  for-
ward, there will likely be multiple businesses that should bene-
fit from being taken out or separated from the current Toshiba 
holding structure. By separating businesses, there is a better 
opportunity to make short and long term decisions around in-
vestments in capital expenditures, and research and develop-
ment while also making sure that Toshiba can achieve superior 
returns on its investments for shareholders. 
   The effort and time commitment over the past year from both 
the Board of Directors and senior management team of Toshi-
ba has been significant. We are all working hard to achieve the 
best  outcome  possible  for  our  shareholders,  employees  and 
customers.  This journey is still in its early stages—the planning 
and strategy are only the beginning. Ultimately it will be how 
well Toshiba can execute that will determine our collective suc-
cess. 

Two of Toshiba’s greatest challenges are regaining shareholder 
trust and creating and executing a very strong mid-term busi-
ness  plan  to  improve  the  long-term  value  of  Toshiba.  This  is 
part of the objective of the recently announced three company 
spinoff.
   The reputation and integrity of Toshiba is our highest priority. 
As  you  know,  Toshiba  has  created  a  significant  loss  in  share-
holder trust. We have much work to do to earn back this trust.
   As a director for Toshiba, I am mindful of our duties to repre-
sent  shareholders,  while  also  fulfilling  our  obligation  to  em-
ployees, communities, and business partners. It is sometimes 
incorrectly perceived that these duties are in conflict. In fact, 
what is good for shareholders is good for all of us. 
   It has also become clearer to me that Toshiba has many di-
verse businesses that make it difficult for outsiders to under-
stand the value of the Company. We have also been too toler-
ant of non-profitable and under-performing subsidiaries which 
limits the ability to invest more in new business opportunities.
   I believe that to be successful in a highly competitive world, 
Toshiba must become more focused on its business portfolio 
and prioritize investments in areas where we can win and grow. 
The board and management are highly focused on providing 
transparency  to  our  shareholders  and  the  Strategic  Review 
Committee has worked closely with management to conduct a 
thorough strategic review of the company and to make recom-
mendations to the Board of Directors. 
   As a result, the three company spinoff will accelerate Toshiba’s 
progress in becoming more focused in our core business areas 
and targeting investments in ways to provide more opportuni-
ties  for  Toshiba  people,  more  value  to  society  and  better  re-
turns for shareholders.
   Toshiba has tremendously talented people, leading technolo-
gies and is a treasure for Japan and other parts of the world. I 
am proud to be a part of Toshiba and I have great confidence in 
Toshiba people to overcome its many challenges.

I was appointed as an outside director at the Ordinary General 
Meeting of Shareholders held on June 25, 2021.
   I served as a judge for over 40 years and have been working as 
an attorney-at-law since I left the bench in May 2020. Many of 
you  probably  imagine  a  criminal  judge  when  referring  to  a 
judge, but I presided over civil, administrative, and labor cases. 
A large number of my cases were related to corporate legal af-
fairs, or labor legislation, which has emerged as a social issue in 
recent years. Furthermore, as Chief Judge of a District Family 
Court and Chief Justice of some High Courts taking charge of 
judicial administration, I have been striving to ensure thorough 
governance, compliance, and accountability.
   Toshiba first lost the trust of society following the discovery of 
fraudulent  accounting  in  2015,  which  greatly  undermined  its 
corporate value. Thereafter, a round-trip transaction by a sub-
sidiary came to light in 2020, followed by the recent discovery 
of some governance-related problems pertaining to last year’s 
general  meeting  of  shareholders.  These  incidents  show  that 
our organizational governance reforms are yet to be complet-
ed. Toshiba has been told repeatedly that it needs to revamp 
its corporate culture. While steadily addressing this issue, I in-
tend to apply my legal perspective cultivated over many years 
as a judge, and use my position as a newly appointed director 
with no prior relations with the Company to help build a system 
that can appropriately supervise the legitimacy and validity of 
business execution.
   I feel the most important thing for improving Toshiba’s corpo-
rate value over the long term is to optimally leverage its capa-
bilities  in  innovative  technological  development  to  achieve 
successful commercialization. I deeply appreciate the enthusi-
astic support of all our stakeholders in this endeavor.

I  was  appointed  chairperson  of  the  Audit  Committee  and  a 
member of the Nomination Committee and the Strategic Re-
view Committee as a director on June 25, 2021.
   In this era of change, the Basic Commitment of the Toshiba 
Group, “Committed to People, Committed to the Future.” be-
comes all the more effective as the torchlight that shows the 
path toward sustainable growth. Furthermore, our values, “Do 
the right thing,” “Look for a better way,” “Always consider the 
impact,”  and  “Create  together”  form  the  cornerstone  of  each 
individual’s conduct. While our Basic Commitment and values 
remain unchanged, we must continue to evolve our business 
portfolio  to  help  solve  global  issues  facing  human  beings  as 
represented by the SDGs. In this context, “Toshiba of Technolo-
gy” is one of the foremost companies with comprehensive ca-
pabilities that can offer a variety of business models and solu-
tions in the truest sense of the word. As a director, it is my job to 
fulfill  the  role  of  Board  3.0  to  encourage  dialogue  and  build 
good relationships with shareholders, customers, employees, 
business partners, local communities and other stakeholders, 
respect shareholder rights and incorporate their opinions into 
management,  as  well  as  ensure  appropriate  disclosure  and 
transparency,  so  as  to  contribute  to  visualizing  management 
and progressive corporate governance. This will facilitate our 
efforts for sustainable growth and improvement of corporate 
value  over  the  medium  to  long  term,  and  create  an  environ-
ment where the management can fully demonstrate its prow-
ess while practicing a sound entrepreneurial spirit. Enhanced 
corporate value is created by the trinity of employee value that 
comes from safe, healthy, inspiring workplaces that guarantee 
equal treatment and fair evaluations, customer value generat-
ed from how satisfied customers are of our products and ser-
vices, and social value arising from compassion toward society 
and  the  SDGs.  By  extension,  shareholder  value,  which  is  the 
product of employee value, customer value, and social value, is 
the source of total shareholder return (TSR). I commit to work-
ing  together  with  all  our  stakeholders  to  restore  Toshiba’s 
self-confidence as a company, regain society’s trust in us, and 
revive our reputation as a prestigious business corporation.

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021History of Value Creation—Toshiba’s DNA

Toshiba’s Roots

Toshiba’s  roots  can  be  traced  back  to  the  time  when  the 
heritage  of  two  men—Hisashige  Tanaka,  dubbed Karakuri 
Giemon (inventor of mechanical devices), and Ichisuke Fujioka, 
known as the Thomas Edison of Japan—joined forces.

Tanaka  Engineering  Works  (later  Shibaura  Engineering 
Works),  founded  by  Tanaka  in  1873,  and  Hakunetsu-sha, 
established by Fujioka in 1890, were the two companies that 
would eventually become Toshiba Corporation. They both 
were business ventures that dreamed of a bright future for 
Japan, aspiring to create something never seen before that 
would benefit people and society.

Committed to People, Committed to the Future.

“Committed to People, Committed to the Future.” is the long 
standing  Basic  Commitment  of  the  Toshiba  Group  that 
expresses our credo since founding to always be on the watch 
for issues facing society amid the changing times and resolve 
them through business.

In recent years, amid the rising risk of natural disasters 
caused by global warming, more significance is attached to the 
resilience of infrastructure conducive to mitigating risk.

Under  the  new  normal,  which  was  accelerated  by  the 
recent  spread  of  COVID-19,  digitalization  has  become 

Our unwavering drive to make and do things that lead to a better world for over 140 years

In  1930,  Toshiba  released 
Japan’s first electric washing 
machines  and  completed 
J a p a n ’ s   f i r s t   e l e c t r i c 
refrigerators.  In  1955,  the 
Company also released Japan’s 
first electric rice cookers.

A t   a   t i m e   w h e n   m a n y 
women’s lives were bound to 
the  domestic  realm,  these 
products allowed  women  to 
have more free time.

The  automated  mail  processing  equipment 
completed  in  1967  was  the  world’s  first  to 
mechanize manual work by recognizing handwritten 
characters, and became a forerunner of labor-saving 
equipment in the advanced information society.

At the same time, it led to the widespread use of 
optical  character  reading  (OCR)  technology, 
automatic ticket gates, and other cutting-edge 
image  recognition  technologies.  In  addition, 
research on superconducting materials, which 
began in the early 1960s, has borne fruit in the form 
of heavy ion cancer treatment devices, leading to 
the technology for next-generation medicine.

In 2017, Toshiba developed the world’s first practical multi 
parameters phased array weather radar.

As  torrential  rains  are  caused  by  locally  and  rapidly 
developing cumulonimbus clouds, they had been considered 
difficult to predict. However, the multi parameters phased array 
weather  radar  makes  it  possible  to  predict  the  signs  of 
torrential rains and resulting rainfall quickly and accurately.

In  2021,  Toshiba  developed  the  world’s  largest  film-based  perovskite 
photovoltaic module with the world’s highest power generation efficiency. 
The module can be installed in urban areas where it is difficult to secure a 
large area of land, even on the walls of buildings and condominiums and the 
roofs of large vehicles, which used to be considered unsuitable for installation.
“We want to be the first to deliver products and services that make people’s 
dreams come true and change society.” This passion has been the source of 
Toshiba’s products and services. 

Toshiba’s technology has altered the way people live and has also changed 

society.

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Evolution for Toshiba’s Future

In November 2021, to further leap toward the future, Toshiba Group announced a policy on strategic reorganization, pursuant to which 
Toshiba will reorganize into three independent companies by conducting a spin-off of Toshiba’s core businesses into two new publicly 
listed companies; Infrastructure Service Company (Infrastructure Service Co.)*, Device Company (Device Co.)* and Toshiba. Here we 
explain the announcement.

* The official name to be announced in due course

There are three compelling reasons for the separation. First, the separation will unlock immense value by removing complexity. 
Second, it enables us to have a much more focused management facilitating agile decision-making. And third, the separation 
enhances choices for our shareholders.

Infrastructure Service Co. will consist of Energy Systems & Solutions, Infrastructure Systems & Solutions, Building Solutions, Digital 
Solutions, and Battery businesses. Its increased focus combined with its innovative technological solutions will enable it to play a 
leading role in driving the transition to renewable energy to meet ambitious global carbon neutrality goals and advancing 
infrastructure resilience as a leading player.

Device Co. will comprise of Electronic Devices & Storage Solutions business. Its products will include power semiconductors, high-
capacity hard disk drives (HDDs) for data centers and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. It will be a leader in supporting the 
evolution of social and IT infrastructure. 

Toshiba will continue to hold the company’s ownership stake in Kioxia and Toshiba Tec. Toshiba will seek to monetize the shares 

of Kioxia. 

13

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021The spin-off plan follows natural contours of differences in the businesses. 
Infrastructure Service Co. related businesses focus on the direct sale of equipment and the provision of solutions mostly to 
specific customers. It has long business cycles that are more heavily dependent on negotiations between business parties than 
market conditions. In addition, it will be a relatively capital light business, and it conducts customized production. 

In contrast, Device Co. primarily manufactures and sells devices, such as semiconductors, and other materials. Its business cycles 
are shorter and can be impacted significantly by market conditions. It needs to conduct make-to-stock production to fulfill differing 
customer needs and supply various products. Another big difference is that this business requires relatively high level of capital 
investments to be made in a flexible manner. 

The separation enables us to better align each new companies by its unique business characteristics.

The  spin-off  plan  is  the  right  step  for 
sustainable profitable growth for each of the 
businesses  and  the  best  path  to  create 
additional  value  and  delivers  compelling 
benefits to our stakeholders.

For our shareholders, we will unlock value 
by  having  focused  and  highly  professional 
management teams. 

We will be able to provide our customers 
more  innovative  and  tailored  services  and 
solutions to meet their evolving needs. 

Our employees will have the opportunity 
to work at more focused companies where 
they can gain more technical expertise and 
self-growth opportunities, and have greater 
growth potential in their chosen field. 

And  the  separation  will  benefit  our 
communities  by  providing  more  focused 
solutions  to  solve  social  issues  of  carbon 
neutrality and infrastructure resilience that we 
all are facing.

Advantages of Business Separation

Focused Management Structure Better Capitalizes Distinct Market Opportunities to Compete More Effectively

There are three main benefits of the business separation.

Improved 
Management 
Structure

•  Sharpens strategic focus and industry knowledge by creating separate management teams 

and Boards of Directors

• Consider candidates from outside the company for building new management structure
• Enables more nimble decision-making through reduction in management layers
•  Creates optionality for both new companies to make their own separate and informed 

decisions regarding potential strategic partners

First, the standalone companies will have improved management and governance structures. Infrastructure Service Co. and Device 
Co. are expected to have dedicated management teams that bring deep industry knowledge with clear growth strategies. We will 
consider candidates from outside the company for building new management structure. The new structures also will facilitate more 
agile decision-making due to reduced management layer. In addition, the new structure creates optionality for both new companies 
to make their own separate decisions regarding potential strategic partners.

More Efficient 
Capital 
Allocation

•  Enables each business to tailor its capital allocation policies to its specific business 

requirements, including exploring options to reduce their cost of capital by increasing leverage

•  Allows each business to review portfolio and cost structure based on benchmarking 

competitors in each industry

•  Facilitates cleaner comparison to peer leverage and capital return metrics for debt and equity 

investor community

• Allows for more direct dialogue with capital markets
• Ability to target debt and equity investors enables effective financing 

Second, the standalone companies will have more effective, efficient and tailored capital allocation policies, more closely matching 

their industry peers. Based on industry benchmark, businesses will continue to review portfolio and cost structure. By having the 

opportunity to dialog directly with the market, each company will manage its respective business with the aim to maximize 

shareholder value. 

Increased 
Shareholder  
Returns

•  Monetize shares in Kioxia and return net proceeds in full to shareholders as soon as practicable 
while maximizing value to the extent that it would not interfere with the smooth execution of the 
business separation 
•  Provides compelling investment opportunities that meet different preferences of shareholders 
and investors in order to facilitate the realization of fair value

The third benefit will be to increase shareholder returns. Toshiba intends to monetize shares in Kioxia while maximizing shareholder value 
and return the net proceeds in full to shareholders as soon as practicable to the extent that doing so does not interfere with the smooth 
implementation of the separation. In addition, this will facilitate fair value by providing compelling investment opportunities that meet 
different preferences of shareholders and investors. 

We are working with the relevant authorities and advisors to determine the best and the most effective and efficient way to spin-off 

the businesses with an intention of effecting the transaction in a tax-qualified spin-off structure. 

For the timeline, reorganization is expected to be completed in the second half of FY2023, subject to a shareholder resolution and in 
obtaining approval from the relevant authorities, however, we will make an effort to speed up the process to the extent that it is feasible. 
Moreover, we are considering to hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders somewhere between January and March in 2022 
in order to hear the voices of our shareholders. A board steering committee is expected to be formed then, which will include Strategic 
Review Committee (SRC) members, in order to provide continuity and accountability for the successful completion of the business 
separation. 

In terms of costs associated with the spin-offs, we expect to incur 10 billion yen from FY2021 onward. The spin-off costs are expected 

to be offset by reducing SG&A expenses in each business based on peer benchmarks.

Spin-off Method and Cost

Method of Spin-off

•  Spin-off through distribution of shares of two new companies to Toshiba shareholders at the time of the spin-off record date 
•  Currently planning on a tax-qualified spin-off structure pursuant to the recent tax reform legislation in Japan
•  Plan to utilize the Act on Strengthening Industrial Competitiveness to smoothly conduct the spin-off
•  The financial results of the businesses to be separated must be audited for a two-year period, beginning with the FY2021 
results, before the spin-offs can be completed

Cost

• Expected to incur 10 billion yen from FY2021 onward as costs associated with the spin-off
• Spin-off costs to be offset by reducing SG&A expenses in each business based on industry benchmarks

The separation plan, which has been unanimously approved by the board, follows a wide range of strategic options by the SRC, 

comprising five independent Outside Directors. The SRC has published “Strategic Review Committee of Toshiba Board of 

Directors Provides Update to Shareholders on Process Leading to Separation Plan” to provide background, as transparently as 

confidentiality considerations will allow, about the activities and deliberations that led to the decision to recommend the separation 

plan to the board and its decision to unanimously endorse that recommendation. 

Shareholder Commitment 

Strong Track Record of Creating and Returning Value, and Our Way Forward

Toshiba has built up a strong track record of creating and returning 
value to shareholders. 

Based on the target dividend payout ratio of 30% as committed, 
we have steadily increased our dividend payment from 30 yen per 
share in FY2018 to an expected 80 yen per share in FY2021. In 
addition, the special dividend of 110 yen per share had already 
been provided during FY2021. 

Toshiba has also maintained a commitment to return excess 
capital to shareholders. We completed share repurchase of 700 
billion  yen  in  November  2019,  and  another  100  billion  yen  in 
September 2021. 

Capital in excess of appropriate level of capital will be used to 
provide shareholder returns, including share repurchase in FY2022 
and  FY2023,  to  the  extent  that  it  would  not  interfere  with  the 
smooth  execution  of  the  business  separation.  The  expected 
amount is to be about 100 billion yen. In addition, we will use 
leverage  appropriately,  and  continue  reviewing  our  business 
portfolio including divestiture opportunities.

Strengthen R&D to Stimulate Innovation

We are working on research and development in frontier fields utilizing open innovation as well. Here, we pick up our next-generation 

film-based perovskite photovoltaic module and a quantum cryptographic communications technique, Quantum Key Distribution 

(QKD) as examples of our R&D projects conducted through industry-academia-government collaboration. Our perovskite photovoltaic 

module won the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award in CEATEC AWARD 2021. The module was a double winner, also 

awarded the Grand Prix in the Carbon Neutral category, and Toshiba also took the Semi Grand Prix award in the Solutions Category 

for the QKD. These technologies have been highly acclaimed as leading-edge technologies that can help resolve social issues to 

achieve carbon neutrality and infrastructure resilience.

Toshiba’s Film-Based Perovskite Photovoltaic Module Reaches 
Record Power Conversion Efficiency of 15.1%

The introduction of renewable energy is gaining traction as society aims to realize carbon neutrality. In particular, increasing the 

generated volume of solar power is essential, necessitating significantly more locations for equipment in addition to raising the 
efficiency of power generation. Accordingly, Toshiba developed a film-based perovskite photovoltaic module*1 that achieves the 
world’s highest*2 power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.1%*3 by developing a new coating method using its proprietary meniscus 

coating technology. Our newly developed coating method requires only one step (one-step process) to form the perovskite layer, 

which used to be performed in two steps (two-step process). This technology can both speed up the production process and improve 

PCE, which have been difficult in the past and is expected to reduce power generation costs.

Toshiba will make efforts to enlarge the active area to 900cm2, the size required for practical application, as well as improve 

materials used in the perovskite layer to further increase PCE.

The newly developed coating technology and the perovskite solar modules that apply it are the results obtained from a project 

commissioned by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021 
Toshiba Demonstrated Quantum Cryptographic Communication 
Covering Over 600km, a World Record

Toshiba has successfully demonstrated the world’s longest*1 communication distance of over 600km by developing a novel dual band 
stabilization technique to expand the communication distance for quantum cryptographic communications. Quantum cryptographic 
communication is a cryptographic communications technique that can never be broken theoretically even with a quantum computer. 
Expectations are mounting for the use of quantum cryptographic communication for communicating data of highly confidential 
nature, such as financial, medical, and personal information. However, one of the most difficult technological challenges in building 
the long-distance communication, is the problem of how to transmit quantum bits over long optical fibers. Small changes in the 
ambient conditions, such as temperature fluctuations and vibrations, cause optical fibers used for quantum cryptographic 
communications to expand and contract, thereby scrambling the fragile qubits, which are encoded as a phase delay of a weak optical 
pulse in the fiber. Due to this problem, the communication distance of the quantum key distribution system currently on the market is 
between 100-200km, which limits their application to networks within cities. To solve this problem, Toshiba has developed a dual 
band stabilization technique that cancels the effects of changes in ambient conditions*2. 

With this newly developed technique, it is possible to connect cities or countries with secure cryptographic communications. This 
technique is also an underlying technology for building the quantum internet, which connects quantum computers by long-distance 
quantum communication links.

Toshiba Group aims to commercialize this achievement within five years. Further, with this success in quantum technology, 
Toshiba is willing to further expand its quantum business with rapid speed. Our vision is a platform for quantum information 
technology services, which will not only enable secure communication on a global scale, but also transformational technologies such 
as cloud-based quantum computing and distributed quantum sensing.

The work was partially funded by the EU through the Horizon 2020 project, OPENQKD.

Toshiba Heavy-Ion Therapy System Is Awarded by Seoul National University Hospital  
in Korea

Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation, in collaboration as a consortium with DK Medical Solutions, a 

Korean leading global medical company, has been awarded a contract to supply a heavy-ion therapy system to 

Seoul National University Hospital. This is the second contract the Toshiba Group has been awarded overseas and 

completion is slated for 2024.

The heavy-ion therapy system is a radiation treatment system that accelerates carbon ions up to 70% of the 

speed of light and irradiates cancerous tissues with carbon ions as heavy ion beams from outside the body. Adding 

a heavy-ion therapy system allows hospitals to increase treatment options for cancer patients and to provide more 

effective treatment according to the location of the cancer.

The awarded system is configured with one treatment room with a rotating gantry 

that allows the heavy ion beam irradiation nozzle to circle around the patient’s body 

without  necessitating  inclination  of  the  treatment  bed,  in  addition  to  another 

treatment room with a fixed nozzle for the beam. The system’s rotating gantry utilizes 

advanced high-speed scanning irradiation technology that is the result of the Toshiba 

Group’s cutting edge technology, while the use of superconducting magnets achieves 

a compact and lightweight design.

Large-scale carbon capture facility

Toshiba Starts Operation of Large-Scale Carbon Capture Facility

At Group company SIGMA POWER Ariake Corporation’s Mikawa Power Plant (Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture), 

Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation (Toshiba ESS) has started operating a large-scale carbon capture 

test facility for capturing CO2 emitted from the power plant. This project is being carried out by multiple entities, 

including Toshiba ESS, as part of the “Demonstration of Sustainable CCS (Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage) 

Technology Project,” sponsored by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment (MOE).

The Mikawa Power Plant is a biomass-fired power plant whose primary fuel source is palm kernel shells that 

absorb CO2 through photosynthesis as they grow. In addition to the power plant being 

deemed carbon-neutral due to the net result of emissions and absorption, it becomes a 

“negative emission” power plant by capturing its own CO2 and removing previously 

discharged CO2 that has accumulated in the atmosphere. Through the trial phase of this 

facility, Toshiba ESS will evaluate the facility’s CO2 capturing technology, in addition to its 

performance, cost, environmental impact, and integrated operability with the power 

plant. The new facility that has been put into operation is the world’s first large-scale 

BECCS (Bio- Energy with Carbon Capture Storage) compatible system capturing CO2 from 

a biomass power plant. Results of operations up to March 2021 showed capture of more 

than 600 tons of CO2 per day. It is the first implementation in Japan of a system able to 

capture 50% or more of CO2 emissions from a thermal power plant.

By developing technologies aimed at deploying CCUS (Carbon dioxide Capture, 

Utilization and Storage) technology in society by 2030, which is advocated by Ministry of 

the Environment, the Toshiba Group will contribute to preventing global warming.

clean room for 200-mm wafers and will expand production capacity for power devices. Production on the new line 

is scheduled to start in the first half of FY2023.

Semiconductor power devices, whose role is to supply and manage power, are 

essential components for boosting the energy-saving features of all types of electrical 

equipment. Given the growth in e-vehicles and factory automation, demand for 

power devices is projected to continue expanding.

The Toshiba Group will further expand its power device business by building a 

production framework that can meet the growth of the power device market, and as a 

result, contribute to achieving an energy efficient society.

Future Focus Areas in the System LSI Business

As part of the Toshiba Group’s policy to build a business portfolio of sustainable financial strength and resilience to 

impacts from economic fluctuations, we decided to restructure our System LSI business in September 2020.

For analog ICs and microcontroller units (MCUs), we will focus on products for motor control application, 

which have strong synergies with discrete semiconductors and are expected to see continued future market 

expansion, and we will continue our sales expansion efforts and customer support, as well as new product 

development. However, we will halt new development on advanced system LSIs (SoC) and focus only on existing 

business, including the Visconti™ family of image recognition processors.

By further clarifying our focus business areas and by building an efficient business operation framework, we 

aim to establish a highly profitable business structure and achieve our targets in the Toshiba Next Plan.

Launching an AI Service that Predicts Lifestyle Disease Risk Six Years in the Future

Toshiba and Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation launched a disease-risk prediction AI service in July 2020 that 

analyzes health checkup results and predicts lifestyle disease risks up to six years in the future.

Since lifestyle diseases lead to issues including increased healthcare costs and lower productivity for 

companies, we have seen rising needs in recent years to assess the risk of onset of lifestyle diseases, with an eye on 

their prevention.

The  Toshiba  Group  applied  AI  and  big  data  analysis  technology  accumulated  in  industrial  fields,  in 

combination with healthcare data mining technology developed in collaboration with universities inside and 

outside Japan, and worked with Sompo Holdings, Inc. to jointly develop disease-risk prediction AI technology. This 

AI has achieved a 90% or greater accuracy level in predicting the risk of diabetes onset up to six years in the future.

The disease-risk prediction AI service now offered by Toshiba uses a year of health 

checkup data to produce predictive results over a six-year time horizon for the risks of six 

lifestyle diseases: diabetes, hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, hepatic dysfunction, and 

renal dysfunction. The service was made available by Sompo Himawari Life Insurance Inc. 

as a feature of Linkx Kenko Try, which was launched in July 2020.

Going forward, in addition to its disease-risk prediction AI, the Toshiba Group will 

move forward in applying AI to preventing the aggravation of diabetic nephropathy, 

cardiac disease, and other ailments as we develop solutions for encouraging behavioral 

modifications such as dietary changes and exercise habit improvements.

Signing a Strategic Alliance with WingArc1st Inc.

Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation signed a strategic alliance with WingArc1st Inc. in November 2020, in addition 

to an agreement with existing WingArc1st shareholders allowing the acquisition, on December 25, 2020, of 15% of 

WingArc1st’s outstanding common shares, excluding treasury stock. The alliance will strengthen collaboration in 

the  digital  solutions  business,  which  delivers  solutions  leveraging  IoT,  AI,  and  other  cutting-edge  digital 

technologies that are part of our conventional initiatives. In addition, the alliance will support joint efforts toward 

leveraging digital data to create new data services in fields including personnel solutions and smart factories,

Transfer of the Toshiba Group’s Logistics Business

The Company signed a share purchase agreement on May 26, 2020 with SBS Holdings, Inc. (SBSHD) for the transfer 

to SBSHD of 66.6% of the issued shares of Toshiba Logistics Corporation (TLOG), which had handled the Toshiba 

Group’s logistics services. After this, the transfer was completed on November 2, 2020, after all necessary 

procedures were finalized.

TLOG was established as a spin-off company functioning in logistics, primarily for the Group’s home appliances 

in October 1974, and subsequently expanded its main businesses as operations from the Group were transferred to 

it one after the other, from the shipment of heavy items for electric power equipment, etc. to the shipment of 

components for medical equipment, semiconductors, etc., in addition to packing operations and import/export-

related operations. TLOG’s global network of companies outside Japan extends to 14 companies in nine countries, 

covering China, Asia, Europe, and North America.

TLOG leverages its strength stemming from being founded by a manufacturing company and functions as a 

third-party logistics (3PL) business comprehensively taking on logistics tasks and providing companies with 

optimized logistics management and operations. In addition, as a fourth-party logistics (4PL) company, which also 

handles the planning and promoting of clients’ logistics strategies, TLOG provides Toshiba Group companies and 

various other companies with comprehensive logistics solutions from warehouse management to cargo handling, 

transportation, and more.

SBS Group’s 3PL business serves customers in a broad range of businesses, while the group also has extensive 

know-how in distribution center development. This share acquisition brings to SBS Group TLOG’s 4PL business 

know-how, as well as broaden its service line-up and strengthen its overseas network. This helps establishing a 

firmer support structure for the group’s logistics supply chain.

TLOG aims for further development as a comprehensive logistics company based on the competitiveness of 

business as a 4PL company while utilizing the resources and know-how of the SBS Group, and will handle the 

Group’s logistics services and contribute to business by providing logistics services that are even more efficient and 

advanced.

October 21, 2021

In order to develop sustainably as a company, Toshiba Group strives to strengthen E (environment), S (social), and G (governance) and 
implement sustainability management as steps to build ethical and transparent management foundations. At the same time, we will 
make efforts to create and provide rich value in collaboration with our various stakeholders, such as our customers, shareholders and 
investors, suppliers, employees, and local communities. We conduct all corporate activities fairly and honestly, guided by the 
Standards of Conduct for Toshiba Group.

In addition, it clearly states the responsibility of the Board of Directors in the Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board of 
Directors will be responsible for establishing and revising the “Toshiba Group Sustainability Policy” and will endeavor to ensure that 
this Policy are known and complied with broadly across the Company, including at the front lines of the Company’s business activities 
both in Japan and overseas.

In 2003 Toshiba established an in-house organization to promote CSR, and has put in place a promotion system that covers the 
Group. As companies are urged to make more effort to help solve global issues represented in the Sustainable Development Goals 
(SDGs) and help create a sustainable society, we established the Sustainability Management Division as an organization under the 
direct control of the President and CEO in April 2021. Incorporating a sustainability perspective into management, we promote ESG 
and SDG activities through all of our corporate activities. 

We reviewed our sustainability management structure and newly established the Sustainability Strategy Committee chaired by 
the President and CEO with members comprising executives related to sustainability, presidents of key Group companies*, and 
managers related to sustainability. Starting from FY2021, the committee meeting is held twice a year as a general rule. The 

43

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Sustainability Strategy Committee decides on strategies and measures to promote sustainability in Toshiba Group. At its meeting held 
in August 2021, the committee discussed and identified new material issues (important issues). 

Under the Sustainability Strategy Committee, we set up three committees, namely the Sustainability Promotion Committee that 
considers specific measures based on decisions made by the Sustainability Strategy Committee, develops an action plan, and 
monitors progress; the Corporate Environmental Management Committee that has functioned since 1991; and the Non-financial 
Information Disclosure Committee that approves the disclosure of ESG information to be included in our Integrated Report and 
Sustainability Report. The Sustainability Promotion Committee is chaired by the executive in charge of sustainability. The Corporate 
Environmental Management Committee is chaired by the executive in charge of environment. As a general rule, each of the 
committees holds a meeting twice a year to discuss and examine various measures that Toshiba Group is promoting. 

The executive in charge of sustainability and environment regularly report the status of measures being taken and receive 

supervision and advice at the Board of Directors meetings.

Guided by the Essence of Toshiba, Toshiba Group works on material issues in accordance with the Sustainability Policy and promotes 

sustainability management that contributes to the development of society.

We have tackled the material issues identified in 2013 by regularly confirming their status. However, response to climate change is 

now required on a global scale, and social issues are changing according to various perspectives as seen in the SDGs adopted by the 

United Nations. Toshiba Group also reviewed its businesses. Accordingly, we re-identified new material issues in FY2021.

We position the material issues under the Essence of Toshiba and the Sustainability Policy, and will work on initiatives Group-wide.

Toshiba Group will help solve social issues through its business. By strengthening our management foundations that support our business 
activities and tackling the material issues below, we will increase Toshiba Group’s corporate value and achieve sustainable growth.

We understand that the following re-identified material issues in particular are closely linked to our business: “responding to 
climate change,” one of the urgent issues to be addressed on a global scale, “improving cyber resilience,” one of the essential 
elements to drive data business, “enhancing research and development to create innovation,” and “securing, retaining and 
developing human resources.”

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Process of Material Issue Identification

Before re-identifying material issues, Toshiba Group extracted and organized issues with reference to the SDGs, which are universal 
social issues, the Global Risks Report published by the World Economic Forum (WEF), and guidelines including the SASB Standards. 
We narrowed them down to those of priority, evaluating them by their closeness to our businesses and their importance in terms of 
strengthening the foundations to drive businesses. External experts then reviewed the draft of the selected issues. In August 2021, the 
Sustainability Strategy Committee chaired by the President and CEO confirmed the selection. The re-identified material issues were 
also reported to the Executive session of the Board in September 2021, and finalized upon reflecting opinions of the session 
members.

To “turn on the promise of a new day,” the Toshiba Group Human Resources Policy provides total support for people with a sincere 

passion for transformation who envision the company’s future and cooperate with one another to create new value.

Toshiba Group Human Resources Policy

Appraisal
People who take on new challenges will be highly evaluated and rewarded for their actions and performance.

Talent (management, assignment, and training)
People who lead growth and innovation and take on new challenges will be assigned and trained.

Organization
A highly creative and productive organization will be created where each person can play an active role.

In accordance with the Toshiba Group Human Resources Policy, we implement the following initiatives.

Appraisal
Since FY2020, Toshiba Group introduced a new human resource system that compensates for competency and achievements of 
employees who continue to innovate toward a new future, regardless of age and length of service. We have changed our qualification 
system from one based on employees’ ability to perform their duties to a role-based grading system that clarifies employees’ roles in 
the organization and determines the grade based on those roles.

Talent
Toshiba Group considers the development of successors and executive candidates to be important management tasks. Accordingly, 
we implement the Succession Plan to systematically select and develop successors for all management positions, from business 
managers to chief foremen.

Organization
Toshiba Group has prepared guidelines for establishing organizations to optimize decision-making processes and to encourage open-
minded communication between supervisors and junior colleagues. Organizations are established and managed based on these 
guidelines which specify the maximum number of organizational levels and the number of subordinate organizations, as well as the 
appropriate number of their constituent members.

Toshiba Group believes that promoting diversity and inclusion and equal opportunity leads to greater corporate value in areas such 

as securing workforce and creating innovation, and aims to establish a corporate culture that enables diverse employees to play ac-

tive roles irrespective of gender, nationality, or whether they have disabilities or not. We are working to enhance our systems and ini-

tiatives, especially for female employees, non-Japanese employees, employees with disabilities, and LGBT+ employees.

With regard to measures to accelerate the success of female employees, Toshiba developed an action plan aimed at increasing the 

percentage of female exempt employees to at least 7% by the end of FY2020. However, it stopped short at 5.1%, partly due to factors 

such as the subsequent status of Toshiba brought by organaizational and business restructuring. In the second-term action plan 

formulated in April 2021, Toshiba and key Group companies set a target percentage of female exempt employees at 8% to be achieved 

by the end of FY2025 through systematic human resource development and mid-career employment. In addition, a new 15% target 

has been added for childcare leave utilization rate among male employees by the end of FY2025. We formulated measures to achieve 

these targets, including training for female manager candidates, support for male employees to utilize childcare leave, and awareness 

raising seminars for supervisors and workers.

In order  for  Toshiba  Group to leap  forward as an infrastructure services 
company, it is essential to increase the number of AI experts. We are working 
to develop AI experts to increase the number of AI experts to 2,000 by FY2022. 
For example, we launched an AI engineer training program in collaboration 
with the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology at the 
University of Tokyo in the first half of FY2019. We are training more than 300 
highly-skilled AI experts by holding training sessions for approximately 50 
people each, twice a year. We have also set up programs based on employees’ 
knowledge  and  requirement  levels,  such  as  basic  courses  to  provide  AI 
knowledge, practical courses to perform hands-on training using AI tools, and 
courses specializing in deep learning, as part of our efforts to enhance in-
house education.

Toshiba Group has conducted the employee morale survey (TEAM Survey) every year since FY2003, as a way to gain feedback from 
employees. Through this survey, we periodically monitor the level of understanding among our employees towards the Company’s 
various measures, and how firmly rooted they are. We strive to improve the issues that emerge and leverage them to enhance the 
corporate culture. In FY2020, we conducted an anonymous survey targeting around 60,000 employees in 79 Toshiba Group companies 
in Japan and overseas, and received responses from approximately 92% of the employees. The survey assesses employees’ 
understanding of company measures and whether their working conditions allow them to demonstrate their abilities. Since FY2015, 
the survey also features questions regarding how the President and CEO and top management are perceived, the status of 
compliance and other measures. Although the score fell for “Feedback from manager” and “Systems for growth and career 
development” compared to the previous fiscal year, it improved for other items. In particular, the scores related to “Integrity,” “Values,” 
and “Pride to company” improved significantly, with the “Engagement score,” a key indicator, improving by 2 percentage points year 
on year to 22%.

StrategiesSustainabilityBusinessesBusiness ResultsToshiba Integrated Report 2021Ensure Employee Health and Safety

At the Toshiba Group, we implement sustainability management, including Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), in accordance with 
the Basic Commitment of the Toshiba Group. While according full respect to the culture and customs of the societies in which we 
operate, we conduct business activities that contribute to realization of a sustainable society. To realize this, in our all business 
conduct, we place the highest priority on human life, safety and compliance, and we make concerted efforts throughout our 
operations to create safe and healthful workplace environments.

For Toshiba Group to resolve social issues and contribute to the further development of society, it is necessary to promote work style 
reform that includes enhancing the work environment and reforming operations so that employees feel that work is rewarding. 
Steadily promoting work style reform is a key to ensuring that each employee is safe and healthy, works in a lively manner and leads a 
fulfilling life, and as such, it is important to take steps aimed at boosting health and safety to increase employees’ vitality. Toshiba 
Group has made further improvements to its OHS management activities and codified them into the OHS management to penetrate 
them throughout the organization from top management to all employees. We declared the launching of this policy at the Toshiba 
Group  CSR  Conference  in  December  2018.  In  addition,  to  spread  awareness  of  OHS  management,  we  established  an  OHS 
Management Conference (described later) chaired by the CHSO in FY2019 and convened on a regular basis.

Toshiba Group defines fatal accidents or accidents for which more than one person requires leave from 
work at the same time as serious accidents and strives to eliminate them. Although Toshiba Group 
companies are engaged in a wide variety of industries, there are industries where the risk of a severe 
accident is relatively high, as judged from past cases. We, therefore, identified target industries to 
introduce  the  international  OHSMS  standard  based  on  third-party  assessment  and  have  been 
incorporating OHSAS 18001 and acquiring external certification for manufacturing companies in those 
industries since FY2007. In FY2020, we transitioned to ISO 45001*, and, all manufacturing companies 
and 44 non-manufacturing companies (accounting for 75.1% of all personnel from Group companies in 
Japan) in Toshiba Group in Japan and 38 companies (accounting 79.8% of all personnel from Group 
companies in overseas) Toshiba Group overseas have acquired the certification.

* An international standard for OHSMS established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 2018

ISO 45001 Certificate of Registration

The frequency of occupational accidents (frequency of lost workdays) of Toshiba Group in Japan in FY2020 was almost the same as 
that of the previous fiscal year. This is much lower than the national average for the manufacturing industry. The number of occupa-
tional accidents in FY2020 was 95 in total, almost unchanged from the previous fiscal year, with 31 cases resulting in lost workdays 
and 64 cases without lost workdays. At the same time, the number of occupational accidents of Toshiba Group overseas in FY2020 
was 35 (counting accidents resulting in lost workdays or worse), a decrease of 17 cases from the previous fiscal year.

Meanwhile, two fatal accidents involving Toshiba Group employees (one in FY2019 in Japan and one in FY2020 overseas) occurred 
over the past three years. Taking this fact to heart, we will systematically take various measures with a renewed resolve to eradicate 
serious accidents.

Toshiba Group in Japan has set the prevention of lifestyle diseases, enhancement of mental health and prevention of overwork as the 
basis to achieve them as the top priority measures within the Toshiba Group’s Standards for Health Management. We strive to raise 
employees’ awareness of the importance of health and take various measures to maintain their physical and mental health from both 
a high-risk approach*1 and population approach*2.

Toshiba Group overseas is working to maintain and improve the health of its employees in accordance with the actual situation of 

each country.

*1 High-risk approach: A method of health management that focuses on people at high risk of disease
*2 Population approach: A method of health management that focuses on the whole group rather than a specific group to lower the exposure to risk

In response to the COVID-19 Outbreak, Toshiba Group is responding to the changing situation to ensure the safety of customers, 

suppliers, local communities, employees and their families and business continuity. Toshiba Group is engaged in many businesses 

and services that sustain society such as social infrastructure, the cornerstone of life. In light of the need to fulfill our responsibilities 

to society and provide these businesses and services, we are continuing activities at sites engaged in manufacturing, services and 

distribution with appropriate measures in place to minimize the risk of COVID-19 infection.

In response to the pandemic, the COVID Countermeasures Headquarters was established to manage the situation within Toshiba 

Group and provide information on measures based on the latest trends and knowledge through internal notices and a dedicated 

website. We made a decision that in principle employees were to work from home where possible and set a target attendance rate for 

each job type for workplaces where working from home is viable. To support this policy, we increased the number of lines enabling 

access to our internal systems.

KPIs for health management were set forth as shown below at the OHS Management Conference for FY2019. We will aim to further 
improve items which have already attained nationwide target figures and raise the level of items which are yet to achieve targets 

nationwide. Our varied approach will center on improving the process indicator, lifestyle habits.

As a result of our health-related efforts, we were selected by Nippon Kenko Kaigi* as the 2021 Certified 
Health and Productivity Management Organization Recognition Program; namely, Toshiba and its key 
Group companies (excluding Toshiba Tec Corporation), Toshiba Lighting & Technology Corporation, 
Toshiba Carrier Corporation and its two group companies, Toshiba IT & Control Systems Corporation, 
and Toshiba Plant Systems & Services Corporation (Large enterprise category) as well as Toshiba 
Precision Corporation (Small- and medium-sized enterprise category). Further, Toshiba Lighting & 
Technology was also selected in the White 5 0 0 as one of the top 5 0 0 companies based on health and 
productivity management survey results.

Toshiba Group’s policy on human rights is stipulated in the Article 1 “Respect for Human Rights” in the Standards of Conduct for 

Toshiba Group, which Toshiba Group’s executives and employees must adhere to. The policy was formulated with reference to 

international norms and guidelines such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational 

Enterprises and ISO 26000.

As part of this policy, we will require corrective actions not only of Toshiba Group executives and employees but also of our suppliers 

for any human rights violations found. Furthermore, we will engage in dialogues with relevant stakeholders on human rights issues.

We recognize the importance of implementing our human rights policies not only within the Group but also throughout our 

supply chain. To this end, we stipulate this policy as “Supplier Expectations” in the Toshiba Group Procurement Policy and request all 

parties’ adherence. We monitor them through annual CSR surveys.

Division, Toshiba plans and executes training courses covering key topics on human rights to educate and enlighten employees under 

the basic principle of respect for human rights. Human Resources and Administration Division serves as the secretariat for the Human 

Rights Enrichment Committee, formulating basic policies for human rights awareness and enforcing them Group-wide, establishing 

an internal promotion system, drafting and promoting Group-wide policy on education and training, preparing training materials, 

developing instructors, following up on the progress of training, consulting and coordinating with outside organizations, and 

providing instructions and support to promote the concept of respect for human rights throughout Toshiba Group.

Toshiba Group has constantly verified potential human rights risks in its business activities through ISO 26000 reviews. In FY2017, we 

performed another human rights impact assessment in each business in collaboration with Business for Social Responsibility (BSR), 

an US-based non-profit organization that promotes CSR, in order to further understand how our business activities impact human 

rights issues and recognize the following priorities.

Major Human Rights Issues Identified by the Human Rights Impact Assessment

• Consideration of human rights in raw material procurement (such as responsible mineral procurement) 

• Consideration of human rights in the supply chain, especially in emerging countries 

• Consideration of Toshiba Group employees’ human rights 

• Consideration of customers’ human rights (protection of personal information, privacy, etc.) 

• Consideration of human rights when venturing into new markets

51

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Based on the result, we grasp the situation in each company regarding human rights concerns, which vary depending on the business 

area, country or region, and make the appropriate response when an issue arises. Also, to ensure ongoing monitoring, we perform 

human rights surveys (human rights due diligence) targeting our Group companies worldwide and CSR surveys targeting our 

suppliers, as well as mineral procurement surveys, etc.

Human rights surveys are conducted as part of the Risk Assessment Programs of the Toshiba Group Risk Management System, 

with content that centers on child labor and forced labor. They have been conducted on an ongoing basis since 2005. In FY2020, we 

surveyed 211 Group companies.

For employees, our Human Rights Enrichment Committee is the driving force to raise awareness about respect for human rights 

among employees. It aims to increase the familiarity among all employees in Toshiba Group and its business sites with the Standards 

of Conduct for Toshiba Group and provide training programs on human rights at the time of hire and before/after employees get 

promoted or appointed to managerial positions.

StrategiesSustainabilityBusinessesBusiness ResultsToshiba Integrated Report 2021Promotion of Sustainable Procurement

Procurement component ratio by business segment and region (Japan/overseas) (FY2020, monetary value base)

Sustainable procurement activities refer to procurement that is sustainable over the future, aiming to fulfill social responsibilities, 
such as following laws and regulations, social norms, protecting human rights, occupational health and safety, and the environment, 
including those of suppliers. Toshiba Group promotes sustainable procurement activities through its supply chain. In April 2020, Toshiba 
Group established an independent team specializing in sustainable procurement activities within the Procurement Division at 
Toshiba’s Headquarters. To promote sustainable procurement activities in areas such as human rights, labor, health and safety, and 
the environment, the specialized team collaborates with related divisions such as sustainability management, the environment, and 
each business division. Through our structure for promoting sustainable procurement activities, we provide information and 
education to Toshiba Group companies to ensure that they are fully aware of and comply with our measures.

We request all our suppliers, who play an important role in the Toshiba Group companies’ production and services, to consent to 
and put into practice the Toshiba Group Procurement Policy. The policy is translated into English, Chinese and Thai to complement 
the Japanese version, and whenever the contents of the said policy are revised in keeping with social trends, we inform all our 
suppliers both inside and outside Japan.

In FY2020, Toshiba Group selected approximately 2,000 companies as new suppliers based on the Policy for Selecting Suppliers 
stipulated in the Toshiba Group Procurement Policy. We distributed the Toshiba Group Procurement Policy to new suppliers and 
briefed them on its content, requesting their consent, including to encourage secondary suppliers to also adhere to the policy.

*  As Toshiba Group companies conduct surveys based on each contract, we count a supplier with multiple contracts based on the number of contracts with the supplier, and therefore the 

number of suppliers is cumulative. Additionally, the company numbers are approximate due to there being commercially sensitive information.

In addition, we have set the Toshiba Group Green Procurement Guidelines in order to address environmental issues and the 
Toshiba Group Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policy in order to address responsible minerals sourcing.

We also have the Standards of Conduct for Toshiba Group for our Group officers and employees. Our corporate policy is to fulfill our CSR 
through fair trade and compliance with laws, regulations and social norms, as well as to build relationships of mutual understanding and 
trust together with our suppliers.

Toshiba Group monitors the status of management at suppliers that have ongoing businesses at the time of quality audits at 
manufacturing sites and requests improvements and provides support as necessary. For new procurement transactions, we check the 
supplier’s conformity with Toshiba Group’s procurement and selection policies, its manufacturing sites and management structure, and 
whether it complies with laws and regulations on environment, human rights, and occupational health and safety.

Toshiba Group holds briefings to explain to suppliers its policies on the environment, human rights, and occupational health and safety 
as well as supplier surveys to monitor their performance in accordance with the Toshiba Group Procurement Policy (including self-
assessment) at each business site. In FY2020, we conducted surveys on human rights for 2,603 suppliers, health and safety surveys for 2,789 
suppliers, and environmental surveys for 4,263 suppliers (the figures are cumulative numbers of Toshiba Group’s suppliers). As a result of 
surveys, for example, we requested the proper use of protective equipment and other measures.

Since FY2019, we have expanded the scope of the survey to suppliers of products and components, regardless of whether they are used 

in products under the Toshiba brand, as our primary suppliers.

conflict minerals (conflict free).

In order to drive forward its CSR management through the supply chain in accordance with international standards, in June 2011, 
Toshiba joined the RBA, the organization for CSR promotion in the electronics industry. In order to fulfill CSR in the areas of labor, 
health and safety, the environment, and ethical standards throughout the supply chain, we take measures in accordance with the 
spirit of the RBA Code of Conduct. We participated in an RBA membership meeting (online meeting) held in the United States in 
September 2020, and the RBA Outreach Meeting in Japan held online in January 2021. In these meetings, we learned about the latest 
global trends, exchanged information and held discussions with experts to create a responsible supply chain.

We request suppliers of Toshiba Group companies to carry out CSR self-assessment each year in accordance with the RBA Code of 
Conduct depending on their respective industries, to check how they implement initiatives regarding compliance with laws, 
regulations and social norms, human rights, occupational health and safety, environmental conservation, and ethics. Based on the 
assessment results, we provide guidance to individual suppliers in accordance with their risk levels, and request that they make 
improvements.

Environmental Considerations

Toshiba  Group  promotes  green  procurement  as  a  part  of  our 
environmental considerations in the manufacturing processes. Following 
our Green Procurement Guidelines, we endeavor to referentially procure 
products, parts, and materials that have a low environmental impact from 
suppliers who actively promote environmental protection. We ask our 
suppliers  for  their  understanding  and  cooperation  regarding  green 
procurement, evaluate their environmental performance, and conduct 
inquiries and assessments of chemical substances contained in the goods 
procured.

With regard to environmental performance, we request our suppliers to 
conduct  a  voluntary  assessment  of  the  level  of  greenness  of  their 
environmental activities (Toshiba standards) based on the environmental 
standard  ISO  14001  by  using  a  standard  format  and  to  report  on 
assessment results. In selecting suppliers, we assign priority based on the 
ranks of the suppliers and also encourage them to improve their level of 
greenness.

Human Rights and Occupational Safety (Ensuring Responsible Minerals Sourcing)

Since Section 1502 on conflict minerals of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) 
enacted in January 2013, companies listed in American Exchange are required to report on the use of conflict minerals mined in the 
Democratic Republic of the Congo and its adjoining countries. Toshiba Group is not a listed company, however, as a part of the supply 
chain of listed companies, investigates and reports to our customers.

Prior to the enactment of the Act, Toshiba Group organized an internal system to address conflict minerals issues, and established 

the Toshiba Group Conflict Mineral Policy and publicized it on its website in October 2011.

In recent years, however, there has been heightened risk associated with minerals sourcing, affecting not only the Democratic 
Republic of Congo and adjoining countries but also other conflict-affected and high-risk areas, and extending to child labor and other 
general human rights violations, as well as corruption and other sources of risk. In September 2020, therefore, we revised our Conflict 
Mineral Policy and formulated the Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policy.

We surveyed around 630 suppliers (cumulative number), using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) that might use 
3TG in FY2020. We also took part in preparing materials explaining the recent trends in minerals surveys and the questionnaire in the 
latest version of the survey as a member of JEITA Responsible Minerals Trade Working Group in order to deepen the understanding of 
responsible mineral procurement.

Strategies for Enhancing Cyber Security Preparedness

Toshiba Group has adopted a philosophy called “cyber resilience” in order to achieve comprehensive solutions for information, 

product, control, and data security. It means the ability to be prepared for cyberattacks and other security incidents so as to minimize 

their impact and facilitate prompt recovery from any incidents. To increase cyber resilience, Toshiba Group has defined three 

parameters, PMR; P for “prepare,” M for “mitigate,” and R for “respond & recover.” It is necessary to increase P and reduce M and R. 

Toshiba Group is promoting comprehensive cyber security measures to enhance the cyber resilience in terms of Governance, 

Operations and Human Resources Development. 

Governance

Toshiba Group has a management system in place under the direction of 

the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to properly manage cyber 

security risks that could have a severe impact on corporate management 

and to promote cyber security measure that assumes various types of 

cyberattacks. The TOSHIBA-SIRT*1 assists the CISO and have the functions 

of both CSIRT and PSIRT. It supervises the cyber security measures of the 

entire Toshiba Group and provides support for all group companies in 

Japan  and  abroad.  Each  key  group  company  overseeing  other 

subsidiaries also

has a CISO, who is responsible for the implementation of security 

measures consistent with those of Toshiba Group and the establishment 

of a cyber security management system for the company. Toshiba Group 

has established the Basic Regulation for Cyber Security that stand above 

the regulations and guides on information security, product security, and 

privacy protection. The purpose of the Basic Regulation for Cyber Security 

is to ensure the promotion of consistent security measures across Toshiba 

Group for its internal information systems; our products, systems, and 

services; and personal information.

*1 SIRT: Security Incident Response Team

55

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Operations

Toshiba Group is endeavoring to enhance cyber security not only for internal information systems and production systems at its factories 
and other facilities but also for its products, systems, and services to be offered to customers. Its initiatives are aimed not only to enhance 
security via security by design*1 at the design and development stages but also to predict and be prepared for security risks at the 
operational stage by constantly monitoring internal and external security threats. Toshiba Group quickly responds to security incidents to 
minimize damage and expedite business recovery in the event of an incident. We also emphasize “security lifetime protection,” a concept 
stressing the importance of sustainable security that incorporates the evaluation and verification of up-to-the-minute security threats 
and their countermeasures as well as feedback to the design and development processes of products and services. 

To strengthen security operations such as prediction & detection, response & recovery, and protection, the Cyber Security Center 
is currently developing a security management platform called the Cyber Defense Management Platform (CDMP). The purpose of 
CDMP is to increase the accuracy and expediency of security risk detection and response and thereby enhance cyber resilience. The 
CDMP is designed to automate the “prediction and detection” and “response and recovery” processes and actively use threat 
intelligence*2 in order to minimize the impact of security risks on corporate activities. 

*1 Security by Design: A product development approach that focuses on security at the planning and design stages
*2 Threat intelligence: A collection of information about cyber threat trends and cyberattacks by hackers that supports decision-making concerning cyber security. 

Human Resources Development

In order to enhance security consciousness, Toshiba Group provides education on information security, privacy protection and 

product security for all employees. In addition, Toshiba Group provides training for security personnel according to the types of their 

tasks and levels while defining the qualities of security personnel required. Training security personnel so as to ensure they possess 

the necessary specialized knowledge and expertise is not the only goal of human resource development. Toshiba Group also 

endeavors to train personnel so that they are capable of enhancing product security at the development stage and promptly 

responding to security vulnerabilities and incidents. In addition, Toshiba Group provides product security education for those in 

managerial positions. Based on the qualities required for security personnel, Toshiba Group has a certification program to certify 

security personnel who possess sufficient knowledge and expertise for each type of task and level. 

Toshiba Group meets its responsibilities to stakeholders in respect of information disclosure related to cybersecurity by publishing an 

annual Cyber Security Report, and by posting regular updates on the Toshiba Group Cyber Security website. These measures 

ensure that stakeholders understand the Group’s thinking and strategies, and specific measures to enhance cyber security.

StrategiesSustainabilityBusinessesBusiness ResultsToshiba Integrated Report 2021Environmental Future Vision 2050

Toshiba Group considers it important to continue providing enriched value to customers while responding to global trends from a 
long-term perspective in order to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society and to aim to grow sustainably as a company. 
As such, Toshiba Group formulated the Environmental Future Vision 2050 as a new long-term vision in November 2020 to address 
carbon neutrality, the circular economy, and other issues from a global perspective. With the goal of “contributing to the realization of 
a sustainable society through environmental management which aims to create enriched value and to ensure harmony with the 
earth,” the Environmental Future Vision 2050 aims to realize a sustainable society—in other words, a decarbonized society, a resource 
circulating society, and a society in harmony with nature. Under the same concept of backcasting, which has been incorporated at the 
formulation, we will promote the implementation of initiatives in three areas: “response to climate change”, “response to the 
circular economy” and “consideration of ecosystems” so as to realize the ideal situation in 2050.

These three areas are in line with the Toshiba Group’s materiality, aiming to integrate business and environmental activities from 
a medium-to long-term perspective, and focus on them in line with the business strategy indicated by the newly formulated Mid-term 
business plan. We will proactively develop environmental contribution measures in our business.

Response to Climate Change

We aim to achieve carbon neutrality throughout Toshiba Group’s entire value chain by FY2050. As a milestone, we aim to reduce GHG 
emissions by 70% by FY2030 compared to the FY2019 level. Specific initiatives include investing in energy-saving equipment and 
introducing equipment for renewable energy and procuring power derived from renewable energy in carrying out Toshiba Group’s 
business activities; suspending the receipt of new orders for coal-fired thermal power plant construction work; and leveraging our 
technological capabilities to create products and services that contribute to GHG reductions in society. Such products and services 
include energy technologies: renewable energy, energy aggregation* for power supply and demand adjustment, CO2 separation and 
capture technology, social infrastructure products and building-related products with high energy-saving properties. We will promote 
business that involves measures to adapt to climate change, which are aimed at ensuring stable energy supply and strengthening 
resilience, and also reducing GHG emissions derived from products and service purchased in cooperation with our suppliers.

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Response to Climate Change in Business Activities

Toshiba Group has been proactively installing systems to capture and/or remove sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), which is used to insulate 
heavy electric machinery, and perfluorocarbons (PFCs), which are used to produce semiconductors. By steadily taking measures to 
improve our production processes, the Group is working to reduce the total volume of GHG* emissions generated from our business 
activities. In particular, to reduce energy-derived CO2 emissions resulting from the use of electricity, we are making efforts to 
proactively adopt energy-saving measures at our production sites, including those overseas, to improve production efficiency, as well 
as to introduce renewable energy.

■Breakdown of total GHG emissions (FY2020)

In FY2020, total GHG emissions were 1.05 million t-CO2, so 
we achieved our target of 1.66 million t-CO2. Energy-derived 
CO2 emissions per unit activity were 92% compared to the 
FY2013 level. Although total GHG emissions have remained 
almost flat compared to the previous year, per unit activity 
improved  as  a  result  of  investment  in  high-efficiency 
equipment and other efforts.

Renewable energy accounted for 0.08% of total energy 

consumption.

StrategiesSustainabilityBusinessesBusiness ResultsToshiba Integrated Report 2021Response to the Circular Economy

We will promote the efficient use of resources in both business activities and products and services. At the same time, we will actively 
collaborate with relevant parties, such as industry organizations, government agencies, and other companies, in order to adapt our 
business models to the circular economy. Specifically, we will work to reduce the volume of waste from business activities and to 
recycle used products and parts, as well as aim to build circular economy business models based on solutions that employ digital 
technologies, which is our focus business.

Reduction of Waste Volume in Business Activities

Toshiba Group is working to reduce waste generation by minimizing the volume of waste generated per unit production, which 
indicates business process efficiency improvement, as well as by reducing the total volume of waste to a level that does not exceed 
the Earth’s environmental capacity.

Waste is a matter of concern to all employees. We have decided to promote measures at all workplaces having all employees 
participate, focusing first of all on not generating waste and aiming to improve the recycling rate. At each stage of design, 
development, production, and distribution, we give thorough consideration to reducing, recycling, and facilitating waste disposal. We 
monitor the composition of waste and promote the reduction or elimination of hazardous substance content, as well as thorough 
sorting and storage.

In FY2020, the volume of waste (excluding that of objects with value) totaled 26,000 tons. The total volume of waste generated per 

unit production was 74% compared to that of FY2013, achieving the target.

The total volume of hazardous waste is 2,800 tons, and its recycling rate is 78%.

■Breakdown of the waste volume (FY2020)

Recycling of End-of-Life Products

In order to ensure efficient use of resources and appropriate treatment of hazardous substances, in accordance with recycling 
regulations in each country and region of the world, Toshiba Group is promoting the collection and recycling of products that 
customers have stopped using. In Japan, in addition to products subject to the Act on Recycling of Specified Kinds of Home 
Appliances and the Act on the Promotion of Effective Utilization of Resources, we have established a unique scheme to collect 
elevators, MFP/POS systems, and other office equipment. Toshiba Group also observes the WEEE Directive* in Europe and state laws 
in the United States. Furthermore, we are preparing to respond appropriately to recycling-related laws enacted in China, India, and 
Australia and those expected to be enacted in the future by governments in other countries in Asia and Central/South America.

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Consideration of Ecosystems
We will contribute to the creation of a society where humans live in harmony with nature and continue to enjoy the blessings of 
ecosystems by promoting compliance with policies and regulations on chemical substance management in countries around the 
world, proper management of water resources, and activities to conserve biodiversity on and off the premises of Toshiba sites.

Reduction of the Amount of Water Received in Business Activities

In response to rising concerns over water problems worldwide, Toshiba Group is promoting sustainable water resource management. 
Each of our production sites has incorporated the policy of reducing the volume of water received into its annual plan in order to 
develop specific strategies and conduct follow-up surveys on an ongoing basis. We are promoting wide-ranging initiatives including 
recycling the wastewater generated in sites and introducing systems for using rainwater.

Since Toshiba Group has multiple production sites in Southeast Asia, where water risks are relatively high, we will focus our risk 
management efforts on appropriately dealing with the issues of each region by promoting recycling of wastewater and using 
rainwater as measures for water-shortage problems as well as by raising the floor of main equipment and making other efforts as 
flood control measures.

The total volume of water received in FY2020 was 17.8 million m³ and the volume of water received per unit production was 93% 

of the total for FY2013, so we achieved our targets.

■Amount of water received per unit production

■Breakdown of the amount of water received (FY2020)

Reduction of Emissions of Chemical Substances in Business Activities

Toshiba Group strives to reduce the emission of chemical substances by designating substances that have large direct impacts on the 
environment as those targeted for reduction.

Toshiba Group plans to use alternative substances and increase the efficiency of using materials by improving processes as an 
incoming countermeasure and to expand the usage of equipment to remove and capture emitted substances as an outgoing 
countermeasure.

In FY2020, Toshiba Group took measures to address solvents used in cleaning and resin processing, which are the major emissions 
in terms of volume. We promoted initiatives such as using alternative substances and improving productivity and manufacturing 
processes in order to reduce the use of raw materials as well as reducing the evaporation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by 
enhancing chemical management. As a result, the quantity of chemical substance emissions per unit production was 84% of the 
FY2013 level and we therefore achieved our target.

Management of Chemical Substances Contained in Products

Toshiba Group provides a wide range of products, from electronic devices to building- and facility-related equipment, industrial 
systems, and energy and social infrastructure products. Various chemicals are used to manufacture these products. Toshiba Group 
considers “minimizing the risks involved in the use of chemicals,” the precautionary principles proposed and adopted at the WSSD* 
and other conferences, as an important challenge to address if it were to properly manage these chemicals. We have been promoting 
initiatives to specify the chemicals to be managed, to eliminate the use of specified chemicals (including the use of substitute 
substances), and to reduce the amount of chemicals contained in our products. In addition, we share information on such specified 
chemicals in each process of our production activities in order to minimize the risks of these chemicals to human health and the 
global environment.

Also, to respond to the globalization of business, Toshiba Group takes global measures to manage chemicals contained in 
products. We gather and assess the latest trends in policies and regulations on chemical management of countries around the world 
and reflect them in Toshiba Group’s management of chemicals.

Furthermore, Toshiba Group promotes the Green Procurement initiative, which specifies prohibited substances, which are 
prohibited from use in procured items such as product materials and parts, and managed substances, which are monitored for use in 
procured items, to be reduced and substituted to mitigate their environmental impact. Our aim is to procure products, parts, and 
materials with less environmental impact in cooperation with our business partners and suppliers.

Conservation of Biodiversity
Toshiba Group aims to create a sustainable society in harmony with nature by promoting the reduction of environmental impacts 
through our business activities, products, and services, such as responding to climate change and the circular economy and ensuring 
water and chemical substance management, as well as biodiversity conservation activities that directly act on nature. It takes a long 
time to recover and improve biodiversity and ecosystems. We will monitor the impact the Group has on biodiversity and the risks and 
opportunities associated with biodiversity so as to continue to engage in long-term biodiversity conservation activities.

The Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011–2020 was adopted at the 10th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological 
Diversity (COP10) held in Nagoya City in 2010. The plan sets a medium- to long-term vision for achieving “a society in harmony with 
nature” by 2050 and aims to achieve the mission and specific action goals, the Aichi Targets, by 2020. The Aichi Targets consist of 5 
strategic goals and 20 individual targets. 

Considering biodiversity conservation activities an important element of environmental management, Toshiba Group has set a 
goal for FY2020 to contribute to the achievement of 10 goals that are closely connected to our business activities. We carried out 
biodiversity conservation activities in accordance with the regional characteristics of each of 61 sites worldwide (39 in Japan, 22 
overseas).

*  Basic-unit goals for energy-derived CO2 emissions, waste, water, and chemical substances: activities are assessed using indicators such as nominal output, the number of products manufac-

tured, the number of persons and total floor area.

*1  CO2 from electricity is calculated using emission coefficients provided by power companies.
*2  The reduction rate of GHG emissions from products and services associated with power supply, such as thermal power generation (compared to FY2019). The calculation method is as fol-
lows: GHG emissions from power generation for FY2021 onward due to newly installed or upgraded facilities are calculated into a reduction rate from emissions in FY2019. The arithmetic 
mean for the results during the period of the Seventh Environmental Action Plan is used.

*3  Contribution to GHG reduction by products and services associated with power supply such as hydroelectric, geothermal, and photovoltaic power generation. The calculation method is as 
follows: Obtain the difference between average GHG emissions per unit of all thermal power generation (coal, gas, oil) and GHG emissions per unit of renewable energy generation and multi-
ply it by output, operation rate, facility utilization rate, expected service life, etc. Aggregate the cumulative total volume of contribution to GHG reduction due to power generation in FY2021 
onward attributable to newly installed or upgraded facilities.

*4  Contribution to GHG reduction by products and services associated with power consumption, such as social infrastructure products. The calculation method is as follows: Obtain the differ-
ence between total GHG emissions of assumed substitute products and total GHG emissions of shipped products and multiply it by the expected service life. Aggregate the cumulative total 
volume of the three years.

*5  Obtained by deducting the volume of objects with value from the total volume of waste generated (excluding sites engaged in waste treatment and power generation).
*6  Cumulative total volume of recycled plastics and bioplastics used over the three years.
*7  Cumulative total volume of resources conserved due to lighter product weights and longer product service lives over the three years. The calculation method is as follows: [Total volume of in-

put materials for assumed substitute products – Total volume of input materials for shipped products]

*8  Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework scheduled to be adopted at the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 15) (scheduled to be held from Octo-

ber 2021 to May 2022). Toshiba Group has set its activity themes referring to the first draft of the framework. First draft:

Information Disclosure Based on the TCFD Recommendations

The impact of climate change is intensifying every year, society’s interest in this issue is on the rise, triggering demands that 
companies step up their actions. The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), which was established by the 
Financial Stability Board, published its final report in 2017 that urged companies to disclose information on their climate-related risks 
and opportunities. We have endorsed the TCFD recommendations and are a member of the TCFD Consortium, which aims to 
promote actions by organizations in Japan in support of the TCFD recommendations. We will actively disclose information on climate 
change in the four areas (Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics and Targets) specified by the TCFD.

Governance
We have a system in place that has the Board of Directors appropriately supervise our efforts to address climate change and other 
important sustainability-related issues. For important issues related to management risks and opportunities in particular, the 
executive in charge of sustainability and the executive in charge of environment bring them up to all directors, including Outside 
Directors, at the Board of Directors meetings to be reflected in the Group’s management strategy.

Prior to reporting to the Board of Directors meetings, specific policies, strategies, and measures related to the environment, 
including climate change, are deliberated at the Corporate Environmental Management Committee, which is chaired by the executive 
in charge of environment. This semiannual meeting is attended by the environmental promotion managers of key Group companies, 
corporate staff division managers, and Corporate Environment Management Office personnel.

Strategy
We consider a variety of mega-trends at the development stage of Toshiba Group’s Mid-term business plan, and consider the risks and 
opportunities presented by climate change, which are then reflected in our business strategy. For example, in response to the trend 
toward achieving carbon neutrality in Japan and abroad, we decided to suspend the receipt of new orders for coal-fired thermal 
power plant construction work in FY2020. Furthermore, we announced that we will accelerate our efforts toward achieving carbon 
neutrality throughout the entire value chain under the new Mid-term business plan which starts in FY2022.

We are attempting to predict the future, specifically 2030 and 2050, by analyzing climate change-focused scenarios such as the 
2°C (and beyond 2°C) scenario by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the 4°C scenario (RCP 8.5) by the Intergovernmental Panel 
on Climate Change (IPCC).

Risk Management
At the Business Risk Review Committee meeting, we assess risks of matters including climate change-related risks that have a 
significant impact on management. Matters that are especially important in terms of business risks are discussed at the Management 
Committee meeting. Countermeasures and preventive measures for matters related to environmental risks including climate change 
are also discussed at the Risk Compliance Committee, directly under the control of the President and CEO.

Climate change-related risks and opportunities that have been assessed and identified are shared by the executive in charge of 
environment, Group companies, and corporate staff divisions at Corporate Environmental Management Committee meetings, and are 
managed through the aforementioned organizational structure for promoting environmental management.

Metrics and Targets
Under the Environmental Future Vision 2050, we aim to achieve carbon neutrality throughout Toshiba Group’s entire value chain by 
FY2050. As a milestone, we aim to reduce GHG emissions by 70% by FY2030 compared to the FY2019 level.

We set out the following breakdown of GHG reduction target for FY2030 and are promoting related initiatives.

State of Activities of the Board of Directors and Committees

During FY2020, the Board of Directors met 16 times, the Nomination Committee 11 times, the Audit Committee 16 times, and the 

Compensation Committee 4 times. The following outlines the Board of Directors’ and committees’ principal activities.

 State of activities of the Board of Directors 
    The Company held the “Directors Council” (so-called “Executive 
Session”) composed solely of independent Outside Directors in 
order for them to share information and problem awareness 
among  themselves,  better  understand  the  Company’s 
operations for Outside Directors and deliberate on the Toshiba 
Group’s key business challenges. At each Directors Council 
meeting, held prior to a Board of Directors meeting, an advance 
briefing on proposals to the Board of Directors was provided 
and opinions were exchanged. Moreover, the Directors Council 
was operated to ensure that independent Outside Directors’ 
opinions obtained through its meetings were reflected in the 
Company’s management.

    The  Company  filed  applications  to  be  reviewed  for 
reinstatement to the first sections of the Tokyo Stock Exchange 
and  Nagoya  Stock  Exchange,  and  received  approval  for 
reinstatement from both exchanges in January 2021.

    With respect to the Toshiba Group’s policy on shareholder 
return, regarding the shares of KIOXIA Holdings Corporation 
held by the Toshiba Group (which holds 40.6% of all voting 
rights),  the  Group’s  management  strategy  expresses  no 
intention to operate the company’s memory business as part 
of the Toshiba Group. To realize the value of KIOXIA Holdings 
Corporation’s  shares,  the  Company  is  holding  ongoing 
discussions concerning measures for possibly liquidating these 
shares. It has been decided that, when the liquidation of shares 
is carried out, more than half of the net proceeds from this sale 
will, in principle, be allocated to shareholder return.

    Following a review of our management policy for FY2021 and 
beyond, the Company announced Phase 2 of the Toshiba Next 
Plan in November 2020.

    Regarding the incident wherein certain voting forms were not 
included in  the  vote count at  the 181st Ordinary General 
Meeting  of  Shareholders  (hereinafter  the  “Vote  Count 

65

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Problem”), the Toshiba Group received reports on the results of 
an investigation conducted by Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, 
Limited, the Shareholder Registration Agent for the Group, and 
the results of an examination of this investigation by the Audit 
Committee. Based on these results, the Group revised the 
voting  results  at  the  181st  Ordinary  General  Meeting  of 
Shareholders and deliberated on ensuring an appropriate 
environment  for  the  execution  of  voting  rights  at  such 
meetings.

    Concerning  shareholder  requests  for  convocation  of  an 
extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, the Group 
received a report on the results of an investigation conducted 
by the Audit Committee into an issue, indicated in the request 
by the requesting shareholders, that certain shareholders came 
under pressure and were unable to exercise their voting rights 
at  the  181st  Ordinary  General  Meeting  of  Shareholders 
(hereinafter the “Pressure Problem”).

Following deliberations on how to handle the situation, the 
Group decided to convene an extraordinary general meeting of 
shareholders.

    This led to the election at the extraordinary general meeting of 
shareholders  of  persons  to  investigate  the  status  of  the 
operations and property of the stock company (hereinafter 
“Investigators”), as set forth in Article 316, paragraph (2) of the 
Companies Act for the purpose of investigating whether or not 
the 181st  Ordinary General Meeting  of  Shareholders  was 
conducted fairly. The Group resolved to cooperate with the 
Investigator’s  survey in  good  faith  and  to  ensure  greater 
transparency in its business management.

    The Board of Directors was provided with reports on business 
plans, budget, risk control information and the state of duty 
execution by Directors and Executive Officers pursuant to 
applicable laws and regulations, the Articles of Incorporation, 
the Board of Directors Regulations, etc.

 State of activities by committees
A.   Nomination Committee
    The Nomination Committee deliberated on a proposal for the 

election of Executive Officer, President and CEO.

    The Nomination Committee deliberated on the proposed 

changes to the Nomination Committee Rules.

    The Nomination Committee deliberated on candidates for 
Outside Directors to be submitted to the Ordinary General 
Meeting of Shareholders for the 181st fiscal year.

    The Nomination Committee deliberated on the election of 
Chairperson of the Board of Directors to be submitted to the 
Board of Directors.

    The Nomination Committee deliberated on the composition of 
Outside Directors after the 182nd Ordinary General Meeting of 
Shareholders.

    The Nomination Committee deliberated on the changes to the 

standards on the handling of Executive Officers.

B.   Audit Committee
    The Audit Committee audited the state of the execution of 
duties by executives, by attending the Board of Directors and 
other key meetings and by making inquiries  to Executive 
Officers and other personnel, with a focus on the state of 
observance  of  laws  and  regulations  and  preventing  the 
recurrence of inappropriate accounting conduct. In addition, 
the  Audit  Committee received reports regularly  from  the 
Internal Audit Division on their audit results, and from the 
Internal Control Promotion Division and the Project Audit 
Division on their state of activities. The Audit Committee also 
made  inquiries  to  other  internal  control  management 
departments, thereby verifying the state of implementation of 
improved internal control system and the status of progress of 

corporate culture reform programs. All of the full- time and 
part-time Audit Committee members attended all hearings and 
reporting sessions and participated actively in audit activities.
    Outside  Director  Junji  Ota,  Chairperson  of  the  Audit 
Committee, collected information actively, which involves 
attending important meetings (such as corporate management 
meetings, Risk-Compliance Committee meetings, Accounting 
Compliance  Committee meetings,  and  Annual  Securities 
Report Disclosure Committee meetings). In addition, Mr. Ota 
worked to enhance communication with each department 
through meetings with executives in each department. The 
information collected was shared with the Audit Committee 
members in a timely manner.

    With regard to the inappropriate accounting conduct, the 
Company continued the claim for damages filed in the Tokyo 
District Court in November 2015 against five former executives, 
including those with experience as President.

    The whistleblowing system operated by the Audit Committee, 
the  committee  received  31  whistleblowing  reports  and 
responded. The Audit Committee was briefed on details and 
status of responses of all 129 reports to the whistleblowing 
contact point on the Company’s executive side. The committee 
has  prioritized  the  reports  related  to  accounting  and 
compliance to verify their investigation results and status of 
improvements

    Through liaison meeting with Group company auditors, as well 
as  through  education  and  the like,  the  Audit  Committee 
worked  to  strengthen  auditing  governance  of  Group 
companies  and  improve  audit  quality  by  bolstering 
coordination with Group company’s auditors.

    Some shareholders reported that a portion of the voting forms 
were not tallied in the voting results of the 181st Ordinary 
General Meeting of Shareholders. The Company therefore 
requested an investigation by Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, 
Limited, its transfer agent and shareholder registration agent. 
In order to ensure the objectivity and transparency of the 
investigation,  the  Company hired  an  outside law  firm  to 
evaluate the appropriateness of the process and procedures 
adopted  by  Sumitomo  Mitsui  Trust  Bank,  Limited  in  its 
investigation of the issue and the results thereof. The results of 
the  evaluation  were  summarized  in  an  Audit  Committee 
opinion that was submitted to the Board of Directors.

    The Company hired an outside law firm to investigate the 
necessary items regarding the 181st Ordinary General Meeting 
of Shareholders related to the Pressure Problem and the Vote 
Count  Problem  pointed  out  by  the  shareholders  who 
demanded an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. 
Based on the results of the investigation, the opinions of the 
Audit Committee were summarized and submitted to the 
Board of Directors.

StrategiesSustainabilityBusinessesBusiness ResultsToshiba Integrated Report 2021Rebuilding a system that ensures sound and stable management

The investigators appointed at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on March 18, 2021 conducted the investigation 
into whether the 181st Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on July 31, 2020 was conducted in a fair manner (including 
whether or not resolutions were handled legally and fairly). In June 2021, the investigators published the investigation report 
indicating the results of the investigation. In the investigation report, the investigators indicated that the 181st Ordinary General 
Meeting of Shareholders had not been conducted fairly as required by the Corporate Governance Code. The Company takes such the 
indication seriously and determined to initiate an inquiry that would, in an objective and transparent manner, through means 
including the participation of third parties, investigate and identify root causes, clarify responsibilities, and take appropriate measures 
to prevent recurrence, in respect of what is referred to in the investigation report as the “Pressure Issue”. Thereafter, The Company 
established the Governance Enhancement Committee and assigned to it the missions of (i) analyzing the root causes; (ii) clarifying 
responsibility; and (iii) making suggestions on how to develop measures to prevent recurrence. On November 12, 2021, the Company 
received an investigation report from the Committee and the Company takes the contents of the report seriously, and the Company 
will proceed with the formulation and implementation of recurrence prevention measures based on the suggestions contained in the 
report.

The Company believes that these recurrence prevention measures will form the first step to restore the trust of the shareholders 
which has been damaged. The Company will continue to discuss governance seriously within the company based on the contents of 
the report, including suggestions for developing measures to prevent reoccurrence measures. One of Toshiba Group’s values is, “Do 
the Right Thing”. Many employees on the front lines of operations are working day-to-day based on this value. On the other hand, 
some of the members of the senior management acted quite differently from this value and the Company should sincerely reflect on 
this point. Corporate management is established on relationships based on trust with all stakeholders. The Governance Enhancement 
Committee also indicated the importance of Tone at the Top and for leaders of an organization to demonstrate their commitment to 
ethical values and integrity. Until now, the Company has made efforts to create a culture, which acknowledges mistakes and creates 
an organization where anyone can raise their voice openly to above. But the Company needs to dig deeper and consider the 
psychological safety of all employees, and continue to make persistent efforts in this regard.

Compensation Policy

 Compensation Policy
Since the main responsibility of Directors is to supervise the exe-
cution of the overall Group’s business and to increase corporate 
value, “Compensation for Directors” is determined at an ade-
quate level to secure highly competent personnel and ensure 
effective work of the supervisory function, and increasing corpo-
rate value from a medium-to long-term perspective.

Since the responsibility of Executive Officers is to increase 
corporate value in their capacity as executives responsible for 
companies or divisions within the Group, “Compensation for Ex-
ecutive Officers” is divided into the fixed compensation and the 
performance-linked compensation, and determined at an ade-
quate level to secure highly competent personnel and ensure 
the effectiveness of their compensation package as an incentive 
to improve business performance.
Compensation for Directors

    Directors are paid the base salary (fixed amount) and stock 
compensation  in  accordance  with  the  scope  of  their 
responsibilities. An allowance is provided for nonresidents of 
Japan (the country where the HQ is located). Directors who 
concurrently hold offices as an Executive Officer are paid only 
the  compensation  for  Executive  Officers  and  not  paid 
compensation for Directors.

    The stock compensation is paid in the form of the Company’s 
stock, mechanisms such as restricted stocks with transfer 
restrictions until retirement.

Compensation pertaining to the above is set as follows:

Compensation for Executive Officers

    Compensation for Executive Officers consists of Base salary 
(fixed  amount),  and  stock  compensation (fixed  amount), 
determined  according  to  rank,  and  performance-linked 
compensation.

    Performance-linked  compensation  is  determined  in 
accordance with the performance of the Company as a whole 
and  managed  business   and  Medium-to  Long-Term 
Management Indicators under the charge of the Executive 
Officers during the fiscal  year, with cash and stock of the 
Company paid at a rate set according to rank.

    With regard to the stock compensation and performance 
linked compensation (Shares) that is paid in the form of the 
Company’s stock, mechanisms such as restricted stocks with 
transfer  restrictions  until  retirement  are  used  to  secure 
effectiveness  as  an  incentive  for  medium-  to  long-term 
improvement of business performance.
Compensation standards

Compensation standards are determined at suitable levels as a 
global company, with the aim of securing highly competent 
management personnel. The compensation standards of other 
listed companies and their employee payroll and benefits are 
considered when determining the Company’s compensation 
standards.

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Risk Management and Compliance Policy

Toshiba Group conducts business activities, giving the highest priority to life, safety, and compliance with laws and regulations, and 
social and ethical norms. In order to respond appropriately to changes in laws and regulations in every country of the world, the 
globalization of management and the diversification of business, Toshiba Group has established systems to address various risks.

The Company has set up a three lines of defense, with the relevant business divisions as the front line, the administrative divisions 
as the second, and the audit divisions as the third. The system is designed to effectively manage risks by assigning to each line a 
clearly defined role and set of duties, which it carries out appropriately, at the same time exercising a checks-and-balances function. 
In order to respond to changes in the business environment, such as new technologies and growing supply chains in developing 
countries, and to the diverse and ever-changing risks that arise when conducting business activities, we will strengthen the three-line 
defense and ensure effective risk management.

At Toshiba Group, we formulated and are striving to entrench the Standards of Conduct for Toshiba Group (SOC) as a specific 
action guideline since we are a company that contributes to the realization of a sustainable society while conducting fair, sincere and 
highly transparent business activities. We are also working toward making the SOC an integral part of the entire Toshiba Group. The 
SOC is one of the Toshiba Group’s important basic guidelines, and therefore, its revision requires approval by the Board of Directors.

 Compliance Advisory Meeting

In July 2020, the Company established the Compliance Advisory 
Meeting,  which  evaluated  and  verified  Toshiba  Group’s 
compliance and fraud prevention system. The Compliance 
Advisory Meeting provided a positive evaluation in that we had 
put in place a fundamental compliance system for the whole 
Group and administrative divisions had carried out compliance-
related duties by drawing on their appropriate experience, 
knowledge and ability. The meeting issued an advisory opinion 
to improve the management level and completed its activities 
in March 2021. By following the advisory opinion, we have been 
taking the following measures in FY2021.
    Reinforce Group-wide compliance awareness and strengthen 
cross-organizational  compliance  systems  and  measures 
under the leadership of the Risk Management & Compliance 
Office newly established in the Legal Division on April 1, 2021.
    Secure  greater  penetration of  compliance awareness by 
delivering timely and appropriate messages and developing 
educational  programs  that  effectively  disseminate  the 
principle that compliance takes priority over performance 
targets.

    After reinforcing a policy of zero tolerance against fraud, 
maintain  and  operate  rules  necessary  to  prevent  fraud, 
including  standardizing  fraud  countermeasures,  setting 
internal regulations on control activities, preparing manuals, 
and strengthening awareness of disciplinary action.

    Further improve the structure to promote the use of our 
internal whistleblower system, by increasing awareness of 
such a system among employees, receiving reports in English 
in Japan, and strengthening the overseas whistleblower 
network.

    Strengthen the function of internal audit on the fraud risk 
management system through measures such as assigning 
additional staff.

 Structure of Risk Management and Compliance

To address compliance and other risks, we appoint a Chief Risk 
Compliance Management Officer (CRO) to oversee compliance, 
financial accounting, and other risks for the whole Group. In 

addition, the Legal Division responds to whistleblower reports 
and attempts to achieve global compliance, and is advancing 
effective risk management and compliance activities.

The CRO chairs the Risk Compliance Committee, which is 
attended by executives in charge of corporate staff divisions. 
The committee analyzes whistleblower reports and cases both 
inside and outside the Company and evaluates the impacts of 
risks and the status of risk control in accordance with the risk 
table that covers compliance risks based on the Standards of 
Conduct for Toshiba Group. In addition, we has established the 
Accounting Compliance Committee as an organization that 
promotes reliability and internal control of financial reporting. 
However, in October 2021, the committee was integrated into 
the Risk Compliance Committee in order to strengthen risk 
management and compliance by centrally managing financial 
and accounting risks and other risks. The Chairman of the Audit 
Committee, who is an Outside Director, attends the Risk and 
Compliance Committee.

The Company operates a risk management system (RMS) 
incorporating a PDCA cycle* led by administrative divisions at 
the second line of defense. The aim is to identify the status at 
each Group company of initiatives on compliance risk and to 
promote improvement in an integrated manner. With the RMS, 
we implement the Risk Assessment Program (RAP) to assess 
risks of Group companies. The administrative divisions provide 
guidance to improve the compliance risks identified. At the 
same time, the relevant business divisions at the front line of 
defense themselves work to identify and mitigate the risks 
autonomously.

Furthermore,  since  FY2020,  we  have  systematically 
organized fraud risk scenarios and conducted inspections on 
Group companies to understand the status of their fraud risk, 
while strengthening guidance to improve such status.

In the event of a serious issue on compliance or other such 
matters, there is a system in place by which the relevant in-
house committees, etc. at Group companies promptly evaluate 
and implement countermeasures.

Meanwhile,  the  Company  deals  with  business  risks  by 
clarifying management decision criteria, permissible risk limits 
and  corporate  policy  on  business  withdrawal  in  making

proved plan)

Toshiba Group’s sustainable growth and increase corporate 
value. In addition, for each risk case, the Business Risk Review 

Committee conducts risk assessment, identifies the maximum 
risk, and establishes items for monitoring.

Risk Management and Compliance Committee

*1 The Risk Compliance Committee manages matters related to the Standards of Conduct for Toshiba Group and matters related to risk management and compliance.
*2 CPL is an abbreviation combining CL (contractual liability) and PL (product liability).

 Whistleblower System

In January 2000, the Company established a whistleblower 
system  Toshiba  Hotline.    We  transferred  the  function  of 
receiving whistleblower reports to an external organization and 
set up window of outside lawyers in order to further ensure 
anonymity and build a stronger sense of safety. E-mail support 
is  available  24/7.  The  Toshiba  Hotline  was  registered  as 
conforming to the Consumer Affairs Agency’s Whistleblowing 
Compliance Management System certification (self-declaration 
of conformity registration system) on April 23, 2021.

Furthermore, in October 2015, the new Audit Committee 
Hotline was set up, which allows people to report directly to 
the Audit Committee, which is composed of Outside Directors. 
With this new system, even matters in which the involvement of 
top management is suspected can be safely reported.

The Audit Committee also has access rights to the Toshiba 

Hotline, and provides appropriate guidance and supervision.

In April 2006, the Company set up a supplier whistleblower 
system Clean Partner Line to receive reports from suppliers and 
business partners to prevent SOC violations by employees in 
charge of procurement and order placements for construction 
and other works.

69

Toshiba Integrated Report 2021Toshiba’s Whistleblower System

Based on these reporting systems, in FY2020, we received 129 reports from the Toshiba Hotline and 31 reports from the Audit 
Committee Hotline. Of the 160 cases, about 60% were related to various workplace issues such as internal systems and labor safety, 
etc. Of the reports received in FY2020, about 26% of the reports were found to be true, except for those for which the investigation is 
ongoing.

From the second half of FY2021, we introduced a global whistleblower system for Toshiba Group companies in overseas, with the 
Legal Affairs Division of Toshiba as the secretariat and the Regional Representative Subsidiaries as the secretariat for each region. As a 
result, employees of Toshiba Group companies in overseas can make not only internal reports within the Company but also reports to 
the Regional Representative Subsidiaries in their jurisdiction.

At Toshiba Group, in accordance with laws, regulations, and internal regulations, officers and employees who make whistleblower 
reports with honest and legitimate intent do not receive unfavorable treatment such as dismissal and demotion as a result of having 
made the reports. Toshiba Group strives to ensure that the officers and employees can use the whistleblower system at ease. 
Specifically, each Group company has stipulated in its regulations a confidentiality obligation that allows limited persons in charge to 
access to what is reported by whistleblowers and a prohibition of unfavorable treatment of whistleblowers, as well as prepared 
manuals for persons in charge of whistleblowing.

Business Risk Factors

The Group’s business areas of energy systems, infrastructure systems, building, retail & printing, devices & storage, and digital 

solutions require highly advanced technology for their operation. At the same time, the Group faces fierce global competition. Under 

such circumstances, major risk factors related to the Group recognized by the Company are described in Toshiba’s Investor 

Relations website. However, they should not be regarded as a complete and comprehensive statement of risk factors relating to the 

Group, and there are unforeseeable risk factors other than those described in said former website. The actual occurrence of any of 

those risk factors may adversely affect the Group’s operating results and financial condition.

Further, the risks described in said former website are identified by the Group based on information that the Group has obtained 

as of November 12, 2021 (the date of submission second quarter report for the 183rd period), and involve inherent uncertainties, and, 

therefore, the actual results may differ.

Toshiba Group promotes green procurement as a part of our environmental 

considerations in the manufacturing processes.

Our 1999 Green Procurement Guidelines supported management of chemical 

substances in procured goods by establishing the “Toshiba Group Environment-

related  Substance  List,”  which  includes  applicable  IEC62474  Declarable 

Substances. We revise the Green Procurement Guidelines as necessary in order 

to respond to changing circumstances, such as stricter regulations on chemicals 

contained in products.

Some multifunction peripherals (MFPs) manufactured and sold by Toshiba Tec 

Corporation meet the ENERGY STAR® criteria. However, revenue from these 

products is insignificant in terms of Toshiba Group’ s overall consolidated sales.

Toshiba Group provides a wide range of equipment, systems and services that 

generate, transfer, store and smartly use electricity. We aim to build a society 

that realizes both a stable electricity supply and harmony with the environment 

and future generations can live with peace of mind.

The  Standards  of  Conduct  for  Toshiba  Group  contain  provisions  regarding 

bribery and compliance with competition laws. Toshiba Group has established 

compliance programs reflecting laws and regulations in Japan and overseas as 

well as associated sets of guidelines. Those guidelines clearly define prohibited 

acts such as corruption including cartels, bribery and facilitation payments. In 

addition, the compliance programs and guidelines stipulate matters related to 

internal procedures including pre-screening and consultation, matters related to 

the internal systems, education, and audits. 

To prevent violations and early detect situations leading to violations, Toshiba 

Group  established  the  whistleblower  system  for  employees  and  the  Clean 

Partner Line for suppliers and business partners as a system to report violations 

or suspected violations.

Business Ethics

Toshiba Group promotes green procurement as a part of our environmental 
considerations in the manufacturing processes.
Our 1999 Green Procurement Guidelines supported management of chemical 
substances in procured goods by establishing the “Toshiba Group Environment-
related  Substance  List,”  which  includes  applicable  IEC62474  Declarable 
Substances. We revise the Green Procurement Guidelines as necessary in order 
to respond to changing circumstances, such as stricter regulations on chemicals 
contained in products.

Some multifunction peripherals (MFPs) manufactured and sold by Toshiba Tec 
Corporation meet the ENERGY STAR® criteria. However, revenue from these 
products is insignificant in terms of Toshiba Group’ s overall consolidated sales.

Toshiba Group provides a wide range of equipment, systems and services that 
generate, transfer, store and smartly use electricity. We aim to build a society 
that realizes both a stable electricity supply and harmony with the environment 
and future generations can live with peace of mind.

Toshiba  Group  introduced  Business  Continuity  Plan  (BCP)  Procurement 
Guidelines in 2012. In the same year, we built a system to manage corporate 
information on upstream suppliers, in order to minimize the risk of and the time 
required to resolve supply chain disruptions.

The  Standards  of  Conduct  for  Toshiba  Group  contain  provisions  regarding 
bribery and compliance with competition laws. Toshiba Group has established 
compliance programs reflecting laws and regulations in Japan and overseas as 
well as associated sets of guidelines. Those guidelines clearly define prohibited 
acts such as corruption including cartels, bribery and facilitation payments. In 
addition, the compliance programs and guidelines stipulate matters related to 
internal procedures including pre-screening and consultation, matters related to 
the internal systems, education, and audits. 
To prevent violations and early detect situations leading to violations, Toshiba 
Group  established  the  whistleblower  system  for  employees  and  the  Clean 
Partner Line for suppliers and business partners as a system to report violations 
or suspected violations.
