Initiatives to reduce CO2 by improvement in water-saving and energy-saving performance of products
The TOTO Group is promoting efforts to reduce CO2 emissions during product use and thus prevent global warming, by expanding the sales of water- and energy-saving products on a global scale.
We defined the Avoided Emissions during product use as the amount of reduction in CO2 use compared to the case where we have been spreading the use of the then product range in 2005. we set specific targets and manage their progress.
Since the amount of Avoided Emissions during product use will increase as more customers use products with high water-saving and energy-saving performance, we aim to achieve the target of Avoided Emissions during product use through efforts such as improving water-saving and energy-saving performance and further promoting the spread of high-performance products.
The Group reduced 2.98 million tons* in fiscal 2023 and is targeting a reduction of 3.6 million tons in fiscal 2026 under WILL 2030 STAGE 2, a strategy to achieve a carbon-neutral and sustainable society by 2050.
* In case the same calculation conditions are used as in WILL 2030 STAGE 2 (approximate value)
Transition of Avoided Emissions during product use
Bathroom Water Conservation Initiatives
TOTO has continued to undertake development of water-saving showers, insulated bathtubs, etc., and has been working to improve the water-saving and energy-saving performance of the bathroom which uses more energy than any other plumbing equipment in the home.
Progress made in reducing CO2 emissions generated during the usage of products in the bathroom
Comfort Wave Shower
Comfort Wave Shower
The newly developed nozzle can produce large drops of water and powerfully spray and swing them. This new technology realizing both water-saving and comfortable stimulation contribute to reduce CO2 emissions.
Comfort Wave account for over 70% of all TOTO showers for bathrooms shipped domestically.
Comfort Wave Shower
Optimal water flow: 6.5 L/minute
(35% savings over conventional shower)
Expansion overseas
TOTO has also deployed the technology and environmental performance of Comfort Wave Shower overseas.
We have advanced a number of product variations according to the overseas culture of showering and depending on the characteristics of each region.
We are committed to promoting the wider use of this technology.
Kitchen and Washstand Water Conservation Initiatives
Eco Single faucet
Built so water heater stays off even when lever is in center position. This faucet is designed to prevent unconscious use of the water heater when the lever is in the frequently used center position. Since no unnecessary hot water is used, it reduces CO2.Having expanded the use of Eco Single faucets in kitchen and washroom products,Eco Single faucets accounted for over 90% of all kitchen fittings shipped.
We also equipped TOTO's Water Broom faucets used in CRASSO modular kitchens, that achieved water-saving by means of a wide-flow shower, with the “Eco Single” function.
