Why is the environment important to Toyota?

Automobiles contribute to global environmental issues such as global warming, resource depletion, accumulation of wastes and atmospheric pollution.

Demand for vehicle ownership in densely populated developing countries is growing rapidly; it is estimated that the number of cars on roads around the world will increase from approximately 750 million today to over 1 billion in 2010.

With these increasing pressures, companies will need to manage their operations for the benefit of all communities, not just those where cars are manufactured or driven. For manufacturers to earn trust, voluntary continuous improvement beyond legislative standards is essential.
