Employees and family members, and community members

have planted native species.

Employees of all the plants cultivate the trees to grow

into abundant forests.

Along with the growth of the forests and biotope, surrounding native living creature

and plants increasingly build nests, and these rich natural

environments are starting to connect with the communities.


Environmental Activity Grant

In addition to forestry, we have launched environmental conservation projects

in the company-owned fields in partnerships with NGOs, government, and local residents,

and have gradually expanded the range of nature and habitats

Indonesia rainforest preservation

Green Corridor Project in Guinea

Japan Aqua Social Fes

Rare species ecosystem conservation project Brasil & Argentina

ca. 100 projects per annum

Preserving Loggerhead Turtle Spawning Beaches

NPO Omotehama Network

Environmental Activity Grant

e.g.

e.g.) Desertification prevention project in China

Over 430,000 participants

Contribution to environmental education

Plants and business locations around the world

Environmental education program in the fields

Europe

Africa

Asia

China

North America

South America

Environmental education at each plant, community,

and outside company-owned Toyota fields implementing

environmental education according to the local culture.

Japan

It is important to restore the fragmented habitats quickly

Problem awareness

Habitats in each region are still segregated due to economic development, and biodiversity losses have not stopped

Forests equivalent of 14% of the land area of Japan are lost annually

In surrounding forests, grasslands, waterfronts, swamps, development is causing habitats to shrink and segregate.

Toyota’s challenges from now on

We will connect our current activities with activities in the group companies,

local communities, organizations, and further expand them globally

Three “connecting” projects

Toyota Green Wave Project

Toyota Today for Tomorrow Project

Toyota ESD Project

Activities implemented in Toyota and Toyota Group companies

Connecting three projects

“Connecting communities” 1）Toyota Green Wave Project


e.g. Toyota Industries Corporation e.g. TOYOTA Auto Body, Co. Ltd

Expanding the range of plant forests and habitat

preservation activities will be connected like green corridors


Connecting activities at each

operation base


Connecting community activities
