Aim

  • Aim to create a society in harmony with nature by promoting biodiversity conservation activities through collaboration with many stakeholders.

Initiative

  • As an initiative to tackle biodiversity and water issues under the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, formulated "Challenge of Establishing a Future Society in Harmony with Nature" and "Challenge of Minimizing and Optimizing Water Usage," and started actions in 2015.
  • A survey was conducted in 2024 using TN LEAD*1 and ENCORE*2 to assess Toyota's dependence and impact on nature at global sites that are directly owned (operated) in order to understand the impacts of business activities on natural capital and biodiversity.
  • We identified water use and land conversion at production and R&D sites as particularly critical factors and confirmed that these are in alignment with ongoing Environmental Challenges.
