Respect human rights, and actively develop people who will contribute to society by nurturing them and giving them opportunities to apply their skills
The Toyota Tsusho Group promotes diversity and inclusion (D&I) as a management strategy. We are striving to create work environments that bring out the strengths of diverse personnel by undertaking reforms to implement more flexible and productive ways of working.
Also, we are working to develop human resources who can create business from a global perspective and who can achieve success in the global market, and we are providing occupational training opportunities to local communities and actively developing human resources within and outside the company who are valuable to and contribute to society.
Starting with our company, we are taking measures to eliminate child labor and forced labor from our entire supply chain, thereby improving the labor environment from various perspectives as a company that values and protects people.

Human Resources Development Principle
We seek to “Be the Right ONE” by undertaking business with awareness by each individual of solving social issues and by providing value unique to Toyota Tsusho. To do this, we identify and nurture individuals with strengths distinctive to Toyota Tsusho. We practice the optimal assignment of personnel and build optimal and powerful teams by enabling each person to become a strong individual.
The Toyotsu Inno-Ventures Project (TIVP) is a companywide project with the mission of identifying and enhancing the seeds of new business to create new businesses. Ideas for new business are solicited from within the company and proof of concept (PoC) verification is performed, ultimately leading to business developing within a sales division. The fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, marks the sixth year of this project, and we value each employee’s aspiration and proactive approach to management to contribute to solving social issues while being aware of the alignment of ideas and Materiality. This project instills a strong sense of ownership among participants and develops strong individuals who thoroughly pursue customer needs.
