Grow with African and other developing countries, and endeavor to resolve social issues through business operations
We undertake local infrastructure and industrial development, job creation, and other measures through our automotive and other business activities to resolve social issues in developing countries in Africa and other regions. In Kenya, we worked as a strategic business partner in a national project aimed at supporting realization of the country’s national vision. We used the results as a pilot model to promote the autonomy of local residents and to support the growth of the Toyota Tsusho Group. Those initiatives included development of basic infrastructure for better living environments and provision of opportunities for occupational training.
