Achievement of the Fifth Environmental
Action Plan
Toyota Industries completed its Fifth Environmental Action
Plan covering the five years from fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2016.
We conducted activities according to the action items
and targets laid out in the Fifth Plan. They included a 10%
reduction in CO2 emissions from major products to be
developed during the period covered by the Fifth Plan;
accomplishment of “CO2 Cancel,” our original concept tooffset CO2 emissions from production activities by reducing
CO2 emissions via improved product efficiency and othermeans; and improvement of environmental performance.

Formulation of the Sixth Environmental
Action Plan
Based on the Global Environmental Commitment that
articulates our basic approach to environmental initiatives,
we have formulated the Sixth Environmental Action Plan, a
new five-year plan for the period from fiscal 2017 to fiscal
2021. The plan incorporates a far-sighted approach tocreating a society with zero CO2 emissions by 2050 with aview toward contributing to a society that realizes enriched
lifestyles in harmony with the natural environment.
In formulating the new plan, we reviewed the results ofactivities under the Fifth Plan and specified key points asshown below on which to concentrate our efforts as the
Toyota Industries Group in aggressively promoting the four
action themes of the Global Environmental Commitment,
namely, 1) establishing a low-carbon emission society;2) establishing a recycling-based society; 3) reducing
environmental risk and establishing a society in harmony
with nature; and 4) environmental management.
(See the Sixth Environmental Action Plan on pages 60–61 for details.)

Key Points of the Sixth Environmental Action Plan
Challenge: Take on a challenge of reducing CO2 emissions for a zero CO2 society in 2050
• Develop products and technologies with the highest level of environmental performance•D evelop production engineering technologies with lower CO2 emissions and utilize clean
energyContribute: Contribute to a future society through technology development and resource
utilization• Develop technologies for the realization of a hydrogen-based society• Promote measures against resource depletion by recycling waste
Give back: Nurture the natural environment and give back to nature• Collaborate with all Toyota Group companies to promote activities of the Toyota Industries
Group to promote greening activities• Prepare and promote countermeasures against water depletion after determining water
usage and wastewater amountInternal audit

In fiscal 2016, we continued to provide education toemployees, including introductory courses for environmental
management and environmental audits, in which the former
is for cultivating required knowledge and the latter for gaining
knowledge and techniques of internal audits. Proactive
participation by department heads and others in managerial
positions has enabled us to increase understanding ofenvironmental management and develop internal auditors.

Toyota Industries implements annual internal environmental
audits as well as external audits carried out by anindependent third-party institute.
The external audit conducted in fiscal 2016 revealed nonon-conformances. For matters pointed out in the audit tohave the potential to cause non-conformances in the future,
we will implement improvement measures and disseminate
the relevant information to other plants to raise the overalllevel of environmental management.
We continued to conduct internal audits under themutual, interdivisional audit system. In fiscal 2016, westrived to upgrade our auditing capabilities by organizing
audit teams with the dual goals of fostering the developmentof auditors and increasing audit efficiencies. In the area ofaudits, our focus was placed on reducing environmental
risks and improving environmental performance, and we
successfully clarified how much each business divisioncontributes to overall environmental management.

Vision for Environmental Activities /Structure to Implement Environmental Management• Change to more environmentally friendly chemicals• Minimize environmental risks

Toyota Industries has positioned environmental response as
one of its most crucial management issues. To quickly
reflect top management’s decisions on business operations,Toyota Industries has established and been operating a
Company-wide integrated environmental management
system (EMS), with the president at the top.

Global Environmental Commitment

Aiming at realizing a prosperous life inharmony with the natural environment

As a first attempt to enhance the quality of our audits,
we invited an external institute to provide auditor education
to supervising auditors engaging in internal audits.

Promotion of Environmental Management
SystemCO2 emissions fromproduction activities

As one tenet under our Basic Philosophy, Toyota Industries
works to contribute to regional living conditions and social
prosperity and also strives to offer products and services
that are clean, safe and of high quality. Accordingly, inFebruary 2011, we established the Global Environmental
Commitment, a specific environmental action guideline, tobe shared and implemented throughout the Toyota
Industries Group. The entire Toyota Industries Group
comprising 165 companies in and outside Japan will
dedicate concerted efforts to realizing a prosperous life inharmony with the natural environment.

Positioning environmental response as one of its most
crucial management issues, Toyota Industries is enhancing
its environmentally oriented corporate management on a

22% reduction, exceeding the specified target, by
saving power during summer and reducing peak
power load, which continued from fiscal 2012, and bypromoting joint activities among the manufacturing,production engineering and environment departments
to reduce the amount of air used in production
activities. As for the global eco-efficiency target of 1.27
(FY06 = 1.00), we made various efforts and attained a
result well above the target. In the future, we will
enhance activities toward achieving our new targets forfiscal 2021.

Achievement of “CO2 Cancel”
During the period covered by the Fifth Plan, we undertook arange of activities to reduce CO2 emissions from production
activities. These included visualization of energy loss; efforts
to save power and reduce peak power load; installation of
LED lighting; joint activities among the manufacturing,production engineering and environment departments to
reduce the amount of air used in production activities; andenergy-saving efforts in back-office sections. For improving
product efficiency, we have developed highly efficientelectric car air-conditioning compressors, improved
efficiency of materials handling equipment (fuel efficiency forinternal-combustion types and energy efficiency for electric
types) and developed technologies to reduce power
consumption of textile machinery. In this way, each businessdivision proactively released energy-saving products to themarket. In fiscal 2016, which was the final year of the Fifth
Plan, we reduced 430,000 tons in CO2 emitted fromproducts, greatly exceeding 244,000 tons of CO2 emitted
from production activities, thus successfully achieving thedesignated target.

Toyota Industries has been proactively promoting
development and design of eco-conscious products.
As part of the efforts, we launched the Environmentally
Friendly Product Certification System in fiscal 2007, which
certifies products that possess exceptionally highenvironmental performance, and have been showcasingthese products to the public. With the addition of one
product in fiscal 2016, a total of 19 products have obtained
certification under this system in 10 years since its launch.
We will continue to promote the development of ecoconscious products in the future as well.

CO2 Emissions from Products (ProductDevelopment)

Establishing a Low-Carbon Emission Society

1.34

The Higashichita Plant, a production base of foundry partsand engines in Aichi Prefecture, has been working to reduce
CO2 emitted from the aluminum melting process.
Previously, a melting and holding furnace used for
melting aluminum utilized thermal convection to create aunidirectional flow of molten aluminum and reduce
temperature variations within the holding furnace, thus
maintaining a constant quality level. However, this required
an extra amount of fuel to raise the temperature to the level
necessary to create thermal convection. At the same time,
an increase in the generation of oxides had also caused aquality issue.
To address this problem, we developed a new melting
and holding furnace that can reduce temperature variationsin the holding furnace without using thermal convection. In
the new furnace, the permanent magnet placed under theholding furnace rotates and generates induced
electromotive force to create a flow of molten metal, whileheaters added at the pumping area eliminates internal
temperature variations.
As a result, the Higashichita Plant successfully cut downcity gas consumption and reduced annual CO2 emissions by
about 440 tons. The generation of oxides was also reduced,
leading to an improvement in quality.

Coating jigs are attached to the automobile body tocreate space between the body and each door when
applying paint. This space should be kept to a minimum, butconventional jigs create a rather wide gap and sometimes
rub against the body, necessitating retouching. To solve theproblem, a painting operator fabricated jigs by using
commercially available parts and worked with a machinery
manufacturer to repeatedly add modifications, finally coming
up with jigs that create an 80% narrower space thanconventional jigs. New jigs also offer a 10% improvement in
the coating efficiency. Everyone at Toyota Industries willcontinue to maintain keen awareness for improvements in
production activities to constantly manufacture better
products.

In the Fifth Plan, through activities that engage ourentire supply chain, we achieved eco-efficiency targets
for waste generation volume both on a nonconsolidated basis and for Toyota Industries and its

we will encourage effective utilization of resources,
including internal reuse of waste, to attain thedesignated waste generation volume target per unit ofproduction.

We have been promoting kaizen by karakuri initiatives
to attain kaizen (improvement) by utilizing Japan’s
traditional, simple mechanical systems called karakuri,
which do not require power generated by motors orother devices.
A karakuri pump conceived in 2013 is a case inpoint. As of October 2015, more than 200 units havebeen fielded in four of our production bases. The
pump has been introduced at 10 consolidated
subsidiaries and business partners as well.
One such consolidated subsidiary, Iwama LoomWorks, Ltd., has devised its original karakuri pump,which does not require any in-house processing ofparts and can be created by just assemblingcommercially available parts. As seen in this example,
our karakuri pump is evolving at each company where
it has been instituted.

FY16 target:
1.01 (FY13 = 1.00)

The Takahama Plant, a production base of materials
handling equipment in Aichi Prefecture, has been working to
cut down its consumption of paint by creating a tank toseparate the recovered paint into reusable paint and foreign
substances.
A certain amount of powder paint is used to coat lift
trucks. We already recover and reuse powder paint that did
not settle on lift truck parts but had discarded the paintcollected during the periodic cleaning of painting lines
because it contained metal fragments and other foreign
substances. After considering a way to reuse wasted paint,
two operators teamed up to create a separation tank thatuses air to separate powder paint and foreign substances.
When air is sent into the box set with a pored filter, powder
paint floats into the air and is recovered for reuse while
foreign substances remain at the bottom of the box. They
selected the optimum air pressure and diameter of theexhaust pipe through repeated tests. We have confirmedthat the finished coating does not have any quality issues
when using the collected paint after mixing it with new paint.
As a result, the amount of paint discarded has been
reduced to one-tenth of the previous amount. We believethat this device can be used for other production lines thatuse powder paint and will continue to expand our efforts to
reduce the amount of resources used in products.

Status of Compliance with Environmental Laws
In fiscal 2016, there was one incident in which plant effluents
exceeded standard values at a consolidated subsidiary
within the Toyota Industries Group. The incident has beenreported to the relevant authorities, and corrective measures
have already been completed by the subsidiary concerned.
Subsequent confirmations have also been made to ensurethat there are no recurrences.
Toyota Industries carries out soil and groundwater
surveys at its plants and performs purification when thesurvey results reveal that soil or groundwater contains
substances exceeding standard values. We also disclose
the progress of purification efforts in the corresponding
Toyota Industries Report and at local community meetings.
In a voluntary soil and groundwater survey conducted at
the Kariya Plant in Aichi Prefecture, we have confirmed thatcertain substances were above their standard values. We
reported the incident to the Aichi prefectural government on
December 22, 2015 and June 1, 2016 and disclosed therelevant information to the public.
In accordance with the results of the survey, we are
implementing purification measures under the guidance of66

Toyota Industries Report 2016

At the Higashichita Plant in Aichi Prefecture, a wastewater
treatment facility was situated in a location facing Kinuura
Bay.
With measures against disasters, including earthquake
and tsunami, becoming increasingly important, we built a
new facility inland to prevent damage to and failure of the
facility, which may result from disaster-induced collapse of
seawalls and possible irregular effluent discharges on andoff the premises.
In the new facility, treatment tanks are installed above
ground, which makes it easier to inspect the exterior of thetanks and find cracks and other signs of potential leakage of
irregular discharges. Moreover, these aboveground tanks
have reduced the risk of effluent infiltration into the ground.
We have also raised the level of the wastewater
treatment process itself by separating the plant’s drainage
into six routes and constantly monitoring the water quality ateach route.
The lowered risk offacility failure due todisasters, including
collapse of seawalls,
provides an additional
advantage in reducing thetime required to restore
production activities
following a disaster.

installing treatment tanks above ground and improving thequality of wastewater treatment. We repeatedly conductedrisk assessments with the relevant departments andconcentrated on creating a safe, easy-to-manage facility as
well as reducing environmental risks. We will continue tocollaborate with the relevant departments and undertake
improvements of the facility for even greater performance.

Separation of Drainage Systems to Prevent
External Leakage of Irregular Effluent
Discharges
As part of a measure to prevent external leakage of irregular
effluent discharges, we have been making Company-wide
efforts to separate drainage systems since fiscal 2012.
Separation of drainage systems means to discharge
wastewater from production processes, initial rainwater*2,
non-industrial wastewater and other rainwater off thepremises after applying appropriate treatment depending on
respective water qualities.
From fiscal 2015 to fiscal 2016, we conducted drainage
system separation at two plants in Aichi Prefecture: the
Kariya Plant, a home to the administrative departments ofthe Head Office as well as a development and production
base of the Textile Machinery Division and Compressor
Division; and the Kyowa Plant, a base for the Technology
Development Department of the Head Office.
At both plants, rainwater and wastewater fromproduction processes had been sent to the treatment facility
using the same route. In separating drainage systems, we
implemented the following measures.

*2: Rainwater at the beginning of rainfall. Contains dirt on roads and other surfaces andneeds to be appropriately treated before it can be released externally.

Strengthening Management of Chemical
Substances
Many of the chemical substances needed for our production
activities may cause adverse effects on the environment.
Thus, appropriate management of chemical substances is
crucial in ensuring safe handling and minimizing potential
harmful effects.
To appropriately manage chemical substances containedin raw materials and products, we conducted a survey
targeting 20 consolidated subsidiaries outside Japan tocheck the status of their management practices. Of thesesubsidiaries, we decided to provide relevant support toseven companies.
In fiscal 2016, we provided assistance to one subsidiaryin urgent need of establishing a system to manage chemical
substances.
In the future, we will provide support to the remaining six
subsidiaries and continue to undertake activities to prevent
violations of chemical substances regulations at production
bases outside Japan.

Reducing Environmental Risk andEstablishing a Society in Harmony with Nature

Under the Fifth Plan, we set a fiscal 2016 target of
attaining emission volume per unit of production below
24 g/m2 for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) fromthe automobile body painting process and undertook
activities accordingly. In fiscal 2016, which was the
final year of the Fifth Plan, we continued our efforts toincrease the recovery rate and enhance maintenanceand management of thinner, a solvent used forcleaning. Consequently, emission volume per unit ofproduction in fiscal 2016 was 24 g/m2.

Building a New Wastewater Treatment Facility
Designed to Prevent External Leakage of Irregular
Effluent Discharges in Case of a DisasterToyota Industries engages in awareness-raising activities tofamiliarize every employee with the details of environmental
irregularities and potentially serious near-accidents that haveoccurred in the past and prevent similar incidents fromoccurring.
In fiscal 2016, we conducted a 100-day campaign forzero environmental irregularities and near-accidents using
our original Environmental Accidental Pattern (AP) Cards*1.
During the campaign, the head of each department
chose Environmental AP Cards that are most relevant to his
or her departments and explained to employees the detailsof an incident shown on each card. Employees then createda collection of written declarations to be observed by eachmember as a reminder to prevent such incidents. By postingthese declarations in the workplace for 100 days, we
encouraged the establishment of an environment where
employees caution each other, thereby raising theirenvironmental and accident awareness.

As a result, we have completed the separation ofdrainage systems at all plants in Japan.

A thorough internal analysis concluded the waste oil to bea harmful substance because it is flammable and can pollute
water. As a result, TDDK decided to install special oil storage
tanks that are two-ply and equipped to prevent overfilling
and leakage. Both audible and visual signals occur if spillage
takes place. Improvements to the storage method brought

In the fiscal 2016 results, combined Scope 1 and 2
emissions accounted for 1.9% of the total emissions, with
Scope 3 emissions reaching 98.1%. The largest source ofemissions, which accounted for 92.8%, was Category 11(Use of sold products) under Scope 3. This was because
the figure included an estimate of future GHG emissions ofour products (lift trucks, vehicles, engines, etc.) throughout
