Toyota's CSR Organization and Structures

CSR Promotion

Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) established the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Committee as the body responsible for promoting CSR and the CSR Department as the organization for implementing CSR activities. The collaboration of these two entities provides for long-term, company-wide CSR promotion and activities.

Toyota CSR Committee

In order to coordinate and promote CSR activities, in October 2007 TMC established the CSR Committee, whose membership includes directors at the vice president and higher level and a representative of the corporate auditors. The CSR Committee was formed by merging the Corporate Ethics Committee, which played a central role in ensuring legal compliance, and the Corporate Philanthropy Committee, which conducted social contribution activities, in order to promote closer collaboration and the expansion and improvement of their respective activities.

In June 2010, the Risk Management Committee was formed under the CSR Committee in response to quality issues, and will be chaired by Chief Risk Officer (CRO) at the vice president level.

The committee is deliberating and issuing reports on the issues listed below:

• Planning global CSR policies and activities

In June 2010, the committee met three times to discuss such topics as verification of CSR implementation status, checking for legal compliance, internal controls, social contribution activity policies, risk management, etc. In addition, in time with executive structure changes in April 2011, Chairman Fujio Cho was inaugurated as chairman of the committee to view CSR in a broad context, and Managing Officer level executives were appointed as chairmen of subcommittees so that prompt actions can be taken.
