Toyota

Globally, Toyota's founding mission is to contribute to society through the manufacture of automobiles. Locally, one of the ways that Toyota contributes is through its investment in the communities where it operates.
Toyota Australia's community investment focuses on how the company can share its skills, knowledge and resources to build capacity in the local community. Through its community investment the company aims to build relationships with the Australian community and stakeholders, encourage employee and dealer participation and deliver long-term sustainable benefits to the environment through partnerships with non-governmental organisations.
This investment includes:

• Toyota Australia Community Spirit, which is Toyota Australia's corporate citizenship program and includes national and local partnerships.


• Toyota Australia's community contributions, which include commercial sponsorships, donations and community investment.

Toyota Community Spirit, Toyota Australia's corporate citizenship program, develops partnerships that share Toyota's skills, networks, expertise and other resources with the community.

The program provides opportunities for Toyota to participate in issues and activities that are important to the Australian community and build corporate reputation and relationships.

The program provides financial and in-kind support for national and local community programs.

Toyota dealers and employees nationally are participating in the program.

Partnerships developed deliver benefits to the community, our community partners and Toyota Australia.

Toyota does not accept unsolicited requests to establish community partnerships.
