Policy Implementation

Statement of Policy

It shall be a policy of Toyota Motors Corporation to “Respect for the planet” as part of embracing
the corporate philosophy “Contribute to society through manufacturing cars” as a starting point
since its foundation with a focus on providing innovative and high-quality products and services in
order to contribute to sustainable social development while proceeding with the business operation
in an environment-conscious manner.

Scope

CSR initiatives, which is divided into three chapters: Society (Traffic


Safety, Quality, Creating the Future Society, Human Rights, Collaboration with Business Partners,
Employees, etc.), Environment, and
Social Contribution Activities.

Toyota Motor Corporation’s own initiatives and examples of those of its overseas consolidated
affiliates, and so on.

Reports are being issued in a total of 16 countries and regions (including Japan) in which Toyota
overseas affiliates and other companies operate. The information disclosed globally by these

reports will cover about 88 percent of Toyota vehicles sold worldwide.

Objectives

The seriousness of environmental issues is increasing over


a wide area, with population growth, accompanied by water shortages
and resource depletion, and degradation of biodiversity due to the
fragmentation of ecosystems.

In response to the situation, there’s a need to take on new challenges


that consider the world 20 or 30 years in the future, in order to remain
closely aligned with the global environment. This means not merely
trying to reduce negative factors associated with automobiles as close
to zero as possible, but at the same time, looking beyond zero,
challenging ourselves in all-Toyota initiatives toward a net positive
impact.
It also means a further strengthening of these initiatives in
collaboration with all stakeholders who share our aspirations. We will
consolidate new ideas, dynamism and technology to tackle together
the realization of a truly sustainable society.

We have started to take on this new challenge aimed at a society


where people, automobiles and nature coexist in harmony, providing a
bright future for our children, with clear skies.
