TOSHIBA INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION ISO.14001 AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

TIC maintains an Environmental Management System (EMS) based on the "Plan, Do Check, Act" model. This model allows TIC to identify, control and monitor its environmental Aspects and Impacts, identify its objectives and reach our desired targets. The EMS also sets forth the framework of TIC’s environmental leadership, operational control, structure and responsibility.

The model endorses the conception of continual improvement. This process begins with an unequivocal support of TIC top management as stated in our Environmental Policy and is integrated company wide as organizational priority. Efforts for improvement performance are enhanced by allowing 100% employee involvement in our environmental stewardship initiatives and making them essential facets of day to day operations. Below is a model which illustrates how continual improvement is administered in the EMS.

The TIC Environmental Management System works within the certification guidelines of the International Standards Organization 14001(ISO-14001). The ISO-14001 is a universally excepted standard focused on continual improvement. Certification demonstrates conformance to this globally excepted mark. A copy of the latest certification certificate is shown below.
