| Environmental Costs and Effects |
For the first time, two overseas
production affiliates —Toyota Motor Thailand Co., Ltd. (TMT) and Kuozui
Motors, Ltd. (Taiwan)— from among companies subjected to consolidated
EMS, have incorporated environmental accounting. The results of the
analysis are presented below.
TMT's environmental costs were approximately 55 million yen and were
mainly for professional environmental staff and wastewater treatment
expenses. The economic effects backed by solid data were approximately
49 million yen from a reduction in energy costs.
Kuozui Motors' environmental costs were 132 million yen, which mainly
went to processing waste and global environmental preservation. The
economic effects backed by solid data were approximately 17 million
yen, resulting from reduced energy costs. In addition, the reduction
in water usage expenses of about 2 million yen was brought about from
the use of rainwater.
Comparing the two companies, the amount of money accounted for by
waste processing expenses is considerably different, but this is the
result of a difference in the unit cost of waste processing expenses. |

 By
introducing environmental accounting, both companies are now able
to determine environmental costs and economic effects, in addition
to environmental performance.
Through disclosing the man-hours and issues associated with the introduction
of environmental accounting by these two companies, Toyota will provide
the information to other companies subject to consolidated EMS when
they adopt environmental accounting. |
