Our commitment to the environment
Motor vehicles interact with the environment throughout their entire lifecycle. Everything - from their initial design to their manufacture, to their use on the road, and their eventual disposal has an impact on the environment.
For Toyota, reducing our carbon footprint and minimising the all-round environmental impact of motoring has been a top priority at every level of our organisation and activities for many years.
We fully assume our corporate responsibility for the environment and for the communities in which we operate.
Applying our philosophy of continuous improvement to the environment, our engineers and designers are constantly coming up with new technologies, ideas and innovations to help us reduce carbon emissions and make motoring more sustainable.
Hybrid Synergy Drive® is an excellent example of this commitment. By seamlessly combining the performance of a petrol combustion engine and the emission-free power of an electric motor, the technology is enabling cars that deliver dynamic performance with ultra-low carbon emissions and exceptional fuel economy.
We do everything we can to reduce the impact of motoring on the environment. At the end of each car's life, we even offer to recycle many of the raw materials that were used to manufacture it, at no cost to the owner.
Our long-term vision is sustainable motoring and we are committed to achieving it.
