In addition to achieving the goal set under the Paris Agreement of keeping the rise in the global average temperature to below 2℃ compared with pre-Industrial Revolution levels, we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions to virtually zero by the end of this century. With the aim of zero CO₂ emissions as presented in the TG 2050 Environmental Challenge, we are utilizing new production techniques and product development skills with an eye toward next-generation vehicles in addition to the manufacturing skills we have cultivated over time. Plans for execution are included in our 7th Environmental Action Plan with activity targets for FY2025. We have also set the goal of cutting CO₂ emissions 50% (vs FY2013 levels) by 2030, the midpoint for the TG 2050 Environmental Challenge, and implementing stepwise, specific CO₂ reductions. We are also conducting activities to reduce CO₂ emissions over the entire life cycle, with consideration of parts and materials procurement, product development, production, and use up to the disposal stage. In June 2021 we started a company-wide, cross-sectional carbon neutrality project to accelerate these activities.

The Toyoda Gosei Group is reducing CO₂ emissions in the product stage, production stage, and over the entire lifecycle to achieve the targets set for FY2025.

We have set 2030 milestones for achieving zero plant CO₂ in the TG 2050 Environmental Challenge, and are working to achieve this with regular kaizen, production technology innovations, more efficient utilities, and expansion of renewable energy in plants.
