Toyota is moving towards a society where people, cars and nature can coexist in harmony.

Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050 Challenge

1.New Vehicle Zero CO2 Emissions Challenge

Reduce global average CO2 emissions during operation of a new vehicle by 90% from Toyota’s 2010 global levels.

2030 milestone

Make annual global sales of more than 5.5-million electrified vehicles, and include more than one-million zero-emission vehicles (BEVs and FCEVs). The estimate of global average CO2 emissions reduction in g-CO2/km from new vehicles will be 35% or more (which may vary depending on market conditions) compared to 2010 levels.

2. Life Cycle Zero CO2 Emissions Challenge

Completely eliminate all CO2 emissions from the entire vehicle life cycle.

2030 milestone

Reduce CO2 emissions by 25% or more over the entire vehicle life cycle, compared to 2013 levels, by promoting activities for the milestones of Challenges 1 and 3, and with support from stakeholders such as suppliers, energy providers, infrastructure developers and governments, as well as from customers.

3. Plant Zero CO2 Emissions Challenge

Achieve zero CO2 emissions at all plants around the world by 2050.

2030 milestone

Reduce CO2 emissions from global plants by 35% compared to 2013 levels.

4. Challenge of Minimising and Optimising Water Usage

Minimise water usage, and implement water discharge management that’s based on individual local conditions.

2030 milestones

Implement measures, on a priority basis, in regions where the water environment is considered to have a large impact (water quantity).

Complete measures at the four challenge-focused plants in North America, Asia and Southern Asia (water quality).

Complete impact assessments and measures at all 22 plants where used water is discharged directly into rivers in North America, Asia and Europe.

Disclose information appropriately.

Communicate actively with local communities and suppliers.

5. Challenge of Establishing a Recycling-based Society and Systems

Promote global deployment of end-of-life vehicle treatment, and recycling technologies and systems developed in Japan.

2030 milestones

Complete establishment of battery collection and recycling systems globally.

Complete setup of 30 model facilities for the appropriate treatment and recycling of end-of-life vehicles.

 

6. Challenge of Establishing a Future Society in Harmony with Nature

Connect nature conservation activities beyond the Toyota Group and its business partners among communities, with the world, to the future.

2030 milestones

Realise “Plant in Harmony with Nature” – 12 in Japan and seven overseas – as well as implement harmony-with-nature activities in all regions where Toyota is based in collaboration with local communities and companies.

Contribute to various biodiversity conservation activities in collaboration with NGOs and others. Expand initiatives both in house and outside
to foster environmentally conscious persons responsible for the future.
