Toyota Industries Group formulated its "Ideal state in 2050" in March 2016 and, based on this, consolidated its activities for the five years from FY2017 to FY2021 in its "Sixth Environmental Action Plan," which is currently implemented on group wide basis.
The Group is driving the following initiatives based on the above plan:
1. Reduction of CO2 emissions by 10% by FY2021 compared with FY2006 (Toyota Industries)
2. Reduction of the CO2 per unit by 26% by FY2021 compared with FY2006 (Toyota Industries Group)
3. Understanding and reducing risks related to water resources at each production site.
The latest recognition indicates that such initiatives by the group are well-regarded.
In the future, Toyota Industries Group will continue to tackle with climate change and water resource conservation as a key issue. Furthermore, the company will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through global environmental conservation activities.
