We are known for expecting them to share our high quality standards. Now we are asking them to join us in becoming environmental leaders.

Toyota developed its initial chemical ban list based on an evaluation of toxic chemicals regulated worldwide. The list will be updated regularly. Hazardous Materials Transportation Management System Toyota is committed to safe transportation of hazardous materials, therefore it is requiring all of its suppliers in North America to develop the appropriate policies and procedures to ensure compliance with all applicable state, federal and international hazardous materials transportation requirements. While the Green Supplier Guidelines outline specific requirements suppliers must meet as part of the Toyota Supplier Environmental Program, a supplier's eligibility for compliance is based on criteria established by Toyota's environmental and purchasing groups and the individual Toyota plants. As part of its environmental commitment, Toyota has a worldwide Earth Charter, which was first established in 1992.
