Involvement with Local Communities
In addition to our plant afforestation activities,
we are creating biotopes and developing woodlands in coordination with local organizations.
Our aim is to leave a greener, richer world to the children of the future.

■Afforestation Project
This project was started in 2009, the year of Toyoda Gosei’s 60th anniversary. We continue to create true woodlands at our locations around the world. These woodlands are made through dense, mixed planting of species native to each area. This makes them naturally resistant to disasters and fires. Nearly all preparations are made by employees. Planting is then done together with family members and local residents to foster a sense of community.

■Woodland preservation activities
To restore Japan’s precious woodlands and help ensure drinking water for humans, the “Toyoda Gosei Kimori no Sato” project to protect woodlands is being carried out in cooperation with local governments. These activities provide environmental training for employees and their families, and build community ties.

■Preservation activities in special
protected areas
Toyoda Gosei employees and their families cooperate with NPOs in preservation and cleanup activities in the Fujimae Tidal Flats and Lake Izunuma-Uchinuma in Japan, wetlands registered under the Ramsar Convention that are habitats for many plants and animals and stopovers for migratory birds.

■Expanding plant and animal habitats
with biotopes
Biotopes have been created at the Miwa Technical Center and Heiwacho Plant in Japan. At the Heiwacho Plant, a regulating pond was used to create a biotope in cooperation with the Owari Seibu Ecosystem Network. It has become a habitat for some rare species.
