Environment, Compliance, and Social Contribution
Compliance
For Toyota, compliance does not mean simply observing laws; it means respecting societal norms and corporate ethics, complying with the expectations of diverse stakeholders, and engaging in fair corporate activities.
Establishing compliance requires steady and earnest efforts in the performance of day-to-day operations. Based on the basic policies of internal control, Toyota is promoting initiatives through the construction and establishment of frameworks - such as the Corporate Ethics Subcommittee, a subcommittee of the CSR Committee - and the development of human resources to raise individual employee awareness of compliance.
