Toyota designates Burnaston as one of four overseas model ‘sustainable plants’
27th December 2007
Toyota Motor Corp. announced on 26 December the designation of four overseas production subsidiaries as model plants for carrying out "sustainable plant" activities, in addition to TMC's Tsutsumi Plant in Japan, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK is one of them, along with the plants in Northern France, in Mississippi (under construction) and Thailand.
Toyota’s "Sustainable plant" activities emphasize the role of nature in creating production sites that harmonize with their natural surroundings. TMC aims to create and operate such production sites with the following three perspectives in mind:
1. Achieving groundbreaking environmental performance by introducing innovative technology and kaizen (improvement) activities
2. Reducing CO2 by using renewable energy, including biomass and natural energy sources, such as solar power and wind power
3. Contributing to the local community and conserving the environment by planting trees at plants.
Toyota will formulate concrete initiatives for each plant giving consideration to the specific characteristics of each particular region and plant. In the future, it plans to gradually initiate the activities at other vehicle and component plants both in Japan and overseas.
