N Seeking Harmony between People, Society and the Global Environment as well as
the Sustainable Development of Society through Manufacturing
Since its foundation, Toyota has continuously strived
to contribute to the sustainable development of soci-
ety through the manufacturing and provision of innova-
tive, high-quality products and services that lead the
times. The automobile is a wonderful machine that
provides freedom of movement. Nevertheless, auto-
mobiles have an impact on the environment and soci-
ety. This is something we at Toyota always keep in
mind, and we try to create harmony among people,
societies and the environment by listening to what our
customers and local communities have to say. Our
operations are aimed at creating a sustainable society
through monozukuri (conscientious manufacturing).
Toyota develops and produces environment-friendly
vehicles such as hybrid vehicles, and we also offer
superior accident prevention and collision safety
features. In addition, Toyota is involved in new busi-
nesses, such as biotech, afforestation and renewable
energy. The pillars of our social contribution are
“environment,” “traffic safety,” and “human resources
development.” Toyota seeks to be of value to commu-
nities and to society through our main lines of busi-
ness, and to bring smiles to people’s faces. Toyota’s
basic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy is
to contribute to the sustainable development of soci-
ety. This phrase embodies the spirit of the Toyota
Guiding Principles, and clarifies our CSR stance for
our stakeholders, both within and outside the Com -
pany. Toyota subsidiaries and suppliers share this CSR
policy, and we expect them to adhere to the spirit of
the policy in their operations.
Toyota also participated in the formulation of
the Charter of Corporate Behavior of the Nippon
Keidanren (Japan Business Federation), which is an
alliance of Japanese leading corporations, and
observes the standards outlined therein.
N The Spirit of the Toyoda Precepts, Passed down since Toyota’s Founding
The Toyoda Precepts represent the essential philosophy of the founder of the Toyota group of companies, Sakichi
Toyoda, and are a source of spiritual support for Toyota employees.
N Toyota Guiding Principles
The Toyota Guiding Principles (adopted in 1992 and revised in 1997) reflect the kind of company that Toyota seeks to
be in light of the unique management philosophy, values, and methods that it has embraced since its foundation.
Toyota, along with its consolidated subsidiaries, seeks to contribute to the continuous development of human society
and of the planet through its businesses based on understanding and sharing the Toyota Guiding Principles.
