The Story of Sakichi Toyoda
Sakichi Toyoda, the founder of Toyota Industries Corporation, possessed a strong ambition to contribute to society from his days as a youth. He had devoted his 63-year-long life to invention.
With an eye to realizing a prosperous life in harmony with the natural environment through the creation of a society with zero CO2 emissions by 2050, Toyota Industries formulated the Sixth Environmental Action Plan, a five-year action plan from FY2017 to FY2021 (from April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2021). Placing great emphasis on the basic policies listed in the table below, we will work on the Sixth Environmental Action Plan in cooperation with the Toyota Industries Group companies to promote four pillars stated in the "Global Environmental Commitment":
(1) Establish a low-carbon emission society
(2) Establish a recycling-based society
(3) Reduce environmental risks, and establish a society in harmony with nature
(4) Promote the environmental management
