Sharp calls its environmentally conscious devices Green Devices. To define guidelines for development and design based on seven concepts, such as low energy consumption and recyclability, Sharp established the Green Device Guidelines, which it began applying in fiscal 2004.
In fiscal 2005, it began certifying Green Devices with the highest possible levels of environmental performance as Super Green Devices.*
