Toyo Tire & Rubber Co., Ltd. has launched our “Vision ’15”, Long-Term Business Plan, since 2008. TOYO TIRES group will celebrate its 70th anniversary in the year 2015 and the “Vision ’15” plan set forth the group’s goal and objectives between now and then. “Environmental Vision” was also set forth. It includes a section on CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), aiming to be a corporation that has earned the trust of society.
This is for accomplishing “Reforms for Environmental-Leading Corporation” through enhancing eco-friendly products, reducing our environmental burden in business activities and better social action programs.
Regarding
enhancing eco-friendly products, TOYO TIRES has developed and provided
fuel-efficient tires to markets so far. In addition, we aim to enhance them so
that all products will be eco-friendly products by 2015. Concerning reducing
environmental burden in business activities, we have recognized that
“activities for reducing CO2 emission” is the top priority and
significantly reduced CO2 through introducing a natural gas
cogeneration system, which converts boilers to operate on natural gas instead
of fuel oil along with other energy saving activities.
The business
conditions in which we found ourselves are expected to remain stringent, but we
would like to exert every effort we can. For social action programs, the TOYO
TIRES group environmental protection fund, in cooperation with employees of the
company, is active and we would like to keep financially supporting
environmental NPOs.
TOYO TIRES would like to continue to press forward with “A Commitment to creating New Value through Innovation in Advanced, Proprietary Technologies”. To do so, it is essential for every employee to implement their own “Environmental Vision”.
