2025 Environmental Action Plan

The Toyota Boshoku group formulated its “2050 Environmental Vision” in May 2016, based on the belief that it is necessary to take a long-term perspective toward environmental issues and tackle them at an even higher level. Based on the vision, the group has established six Stretch Environmental Goals to be realised by 2050, including the challenge of achieving zero CO₂ emissions in business activities.
Aiming to realise the “2050 Environmental Vision,” it has developed the “2025 Environmental Action Plan” to be followed in the five years to 2025.
