Taking on the challenge of carbon neutrality and a circular economy
with the concerted strength of the Toyoda Gosei Group

Environment

Global warming, resource depletion due to mass production and disposal, and waste problems have become
shared issues worldwide. Under our slogan of “A Greener, Richer World for Our Children,” Toyoda Gosei isaccelerating its efforts by bringing together the entire Group to realize carbon neutrality and a circular economy
as soon as possible by maximizing its strengths in rubber and plastic polymer technologies in both production
and products.

Contributing to Environmental Preservation through All Our Business Activities
Basic Philosophy
The 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 long-term targets in theTG2050 Environmental Challenge, and have set
milestone targets to be reached by 2030. We have also
formulated a 5-year action plan in which activity items
and targets are set and are carrying out activities to1. Environmentally-friendly
business activitiesEnvironmentalPolicy

We are keenly aware that all stages of ourbusiness relate deeply to the environment,from development, production, and sales toend-of-life disposal. The Toyoda Gosei Group,
including all internal departments, domestic
and international affiliates, and suppliers,
conducts all business activities with concern
for the environment in cooperation andcoordination with customers, government
authorities, and others.

preserve 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, theabove four plus Europe/South Africa. These efforts are
made in conjunction with government agencies,customers, and suppliers.

employees to support them in becoming
involved in environmental activities as
members of the community and society,and support social contributions andvolunteerism.

TG2050 Environmental Challenge
The Toyoda Gosei Group specializes in the field of
rubber and plastic polymers. Our symbol is thebenzene ring, a hexagonal hydrocarbon structure thatis the starting point for polymers. Borrowing from thesix sides of the benzene ring, the TG2050
Environmental Challenge sets six challenges tostrengthen our environmental efforts with a long-term

As a roadmap to achieve this goal, in August 2023, wemoved up the date from 2050 to 2030 for achievingcarbon neutrality (Scopes 1 and 2), which will
strengthen our response to climate change issues, andwe have also prepared an environmental action plan
as a five-year plan to guide our efforts.
