Environmental Management Promotion Structure

We have created an environmental management system with the Conference on the Global Environment as the chief medium promoting environmental management.

Environmental Risk Management in the Toyota Tsusho Group

[1] Application of ISO 14001 Environmental Management System

Toyota Tsusho promotes the acquisition of ISO 14001 certification at its domestic and overseas Group companies from the perspective of global consolidated environmental management. We have created a framework for compliance with all environmental laws and regulations, and to realize zero environment-related complaints.
As of March 31, 2010, 220 Group companies, including 69 in Japan and 151 overseas, had attained ISO 14001 certification.

[2] Global Environmental Management

All Group companies in Japan and overseas use the same environmental management manual to ensure a uniform level of management across the board and realize the environmental policies of the Toyota Tsusho Group.

[3] Advance Environmental Evaluation of New Businesses

Toyota Tsusho evaluates environmental impact from the planning stage for new businesses for which it has management responsibility and implements necessary environmental measures. This helps ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations and prevent environmental contamination.

[4] Emergency Response

In the event of an environmental emergency, Toyota Tsusho has established a system of swift initial response based on set procedures that include reporting the incident within 24 hours to the Global Environment Management Group of the Safety & Global Environment Management Department. Even for minor environmental accidents and "Hiyari-Hatto" (risk incidents), we identify the cause, prevent recurrence, formulate preventative measures and implement these measures across the organization.
