Principles and Policies

An explanation of Toyota's principles and policies with regard to environmental issues. Toyota has created the Toyota Earth Charter and is undertaking initiatives through "Contribution towards Sustainable Development." Toyota also aims to be a leader in the effort to create a recycling-based society using cutting-edge technologies developed in response to environmental issues.

Organization Framework

The Toyota Environment Committee has been established for the purpose of examining and crafting responses to the issues facing product development and design, production and logistics and environmental management. This committee is comprised of top management, chaired by the president, who promote global environmental management not only for Toyota Motor Corporation, but for all Toyota consolidated subsidiaries worldwide.

Action Plan

The Toyota Environmental Action Plan was established with the intent of helping lead efforts towards global regeneration through environmentally-considerate technology. It establishes initiatives, specific implementation items and targets for the areas of development and design, procurement, production and logistics, sales and marketing and recycling, as well as promotes and strengthens environmental management.

Toyota Green Purchasing Guidelines

Solving the environmental issues facing the world requires the combined efforts of people everywhere. That is why Toyota has created guidelines for the business partners from which it purchases automobile parts and materials, both within Japan and overseas, requiring that they also make an active effort to implement environmentally-considerate practices.

Biodiversity Guidelines

Degradation of the natural environment is resulting in the loss of biodiversity. Thus, as part of its "Contribution towards Sustainable Development," Toyota has created guidelines aimed at helping to maintain biodiversity. Toyota's aim is to achieve growth that maintains a balance between corporate activities and environmental preservation.
