Marking the World Environment Health Day, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has reaffirmed its long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability. Over the years, TKM has consciously adopted sustainable business practices and transformed from a carmaker to a mobility company. Keeping with its principle of ‘Respect for the Planet’, Toyota globally announced the ‘Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050’ (TEC 2050) in October 2015, comprising six environmental challenges. The first set of 3 challenges focuses on achieving carbon neutrality from our products and its entire value chain, including the manufacturing activities.
The company’s eco-conscious efforts not only focus on positively contributing to the environment but also promote sustainable living among various stakeholders to enable a recycled-based society and establish a future society in ‘Harmony with Nature’.
Sharing his thoughts, Mr. B. Padmanabha, Executive Vice President and Director, Manufacturing, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said, “Our vision is to continuously evolve into a true mobility company, exploring every avenue to achieve ‘Carbon Neutrality.’ Aligned with Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, we have embedded rigorous mitigation plans and key metrics into our sustainability goals, enhancing both the transparency and resilience of our climate strategies.”
