Toyota's Forestry

Measured responses to regional forestation concerns — Since 1992 Toyota has tackled forestry issues with its "Forest of Toyota" plan, developing various sustainable forestation activities, via the "Human Resources Development and Collaboration with region" and "Development of a Symbiotic System with Forests". Although these activities are just small efforts in response to forest devastation which has been growing on a global scale, Toyota continually shares knowledge gained through these projects, including lessons from failures, with stakeholders and contributes to sustainable expansion of forestry activities.
