Since the Industrial Revolution, human society has made tremendous progress, but various environmental issues have also emerged.
In recent years, addressing global climate change has become an urgent issue as glacier melting, rising sea levels and extreme weather events impact everyone's lives.
To address global climate change and other environmental issues, Toyota Gosei (China) has set a goal of reducing factory carbon dioxide emissions under the slogan "Environmental TG". In addition, to accelerate the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions throughout the product lifecycle, cross-departmental projects have been implemented across the entire company to achieve Scope3 targets. To foster and enhance environmental awareness among all employees, "Environmental Month" activities have been launched.
In the future, the company will continue to jointly launch challenges under the slogan of "leaving a green, resource-rich earth to future generations and children" to contribute to protecting the earth's environment.
he Toyoda Gosei Group formulated its 1st Environmental Action Plan in 1993 based on its environmental policy, and since that time has been actively confronting environmental issues. In February 2016, we announced our TG 2050 Environmental Challenge, and have set targets to be reached by 2030 as milestones. We have also formulated a 5-year action plan in which activity items and targets are set and are carrying out activities to protect the environment.
Globally, we have placed integrated environmental functions in the regions of the Americas, China, ASEAN, and India. The Group is also making efforts as a whole with area control in five global regions, the above four plus Europe/South Africa. These efforts are made in conjunction with government agencies, customers and suppliers.
The Toyoda Gosei Group specializes in the field of high polymersーrubber and plastics. Our symbol is the benzene ring, a hexagonal hydrocarbon structure that is the starting point for polymers. Borrowing from the six sides of the benzene ring, the TG 2050 Environmental Challenge sets six challenges to strengthen our environmental efforts with a long-term view to the year 2050. As a roadmap to achieve that, we have set targets for 2030 (Targets 50&50) as milestones and formulated a five-year Environmental Action Plan to guide our efforts.
