Toyoda Gosei’s creed of “Boundless Creativity and Social Contribution” is based on the Five Main Principles of Toyoda and has been passed down through the generations as the foundation of our business operations.

The automobile industry is going through a period of huge transformation today, with advances in electrification, autonomous driving and other technologies. It is also a time of changing values, deepening environmental and social challenges, and geopolitical risks, and opaqueness and uncertainty make the future difficult to predict.

It was in these circumstances that we looked to the company creed with fresh eyes as we considered our 2030 Business Plan (announced August 2023), and asked ourselves what value the company has for society. We then established a new management structure that will help us to achieve sustainable growth which provides both social and economic value, while formulating the plan as something that shows the company’s medium- and long-term direction.

With the company creed of “Boundless Creativity and Social Contribution” as our cornerstone, we will leverage the knowledge of rubber and plastic polymers that has been built up by earlier generations and the organizational culture cultivated along the way. With the aim of being a “Company that pursues the possibilities of polymers in contributing to a future of better mobility and living,” we are determined to make significant changes and do our utmost in helping to solve environmental and societal challenges.

As president with a background in human resources and experience at both domestic and overseas subsidiaries, I will seek to invigorate our people and organizations, bringing out the enthusiasm and energy of people with various talents and values so that they can display their fullest abilities. I will to help raise the level of self-realization of every employee and enhance corporate value.

To continue as a company that is trusted by society and needed by stakeholders, we will work as “One Team” to leverage our strengths and unique capabilities in polymer technology and other areas to help solve societal challenges, based on business operations conducted with integrity and honest efforts. We aim for both the sustainable development of society and the sustainable growth of our company.
