Message from the President

Pursuing the possibilities of polymers for a future of better mobility and living

With advances in electrification, autonomous driving, and other technologies, the automobile industry is going through a time of tremendous change. To achieve sustainable growth into the future, we went back to our management philosophy of “Boundless creativity and social contribution” and developed the company’s “2030 Business Plan” in August 2023.
We have defined our vision for the future as a “company that pursues the possibilities of polymers to contribute to a future of better mobility and living.” We will deliver products and services to society in the three key areas of safety, comfort, and decarbonizationas we work toward the mobility of the future and decarbonized societies.

Integrating our range of expertise to create new value

In the area of safety, we made Ashimori Industry a subsidiary in November 2025. In addition to being a leader in the movement for safety, this will further our efforts to develop airbag and seatbelt systems. In the area of comfort, we are seeking to reform automobile architecture through lighter weight parts made of plastic rather than metal, and the component consolidation. This will contribute to the creation of roomy and comfortable spaces. In the area of decarbonization, we aim to be a leading company in manufacturing that maximizes the potential of materials based on our unique recycling technology.

Creating an atmosphere that transforms individual abilities to organizational strengths

People and organizations are what brings a strategy to life. We aim to be an organization that creates value greater than the sum of its parts. We will do this by bringing out the full individual characteristics and abilities of each employee to motivate and challenge each other. Management gets feedback from workplaces, supports people as they take on challenges, and creates teams that share achievements. In this way, we will build groups that think and act for themselves.

Deepening governance and enhancing shareholder returns

In 2025, the ownership share of Toyota Motor Corporation in our company was revised to about 20%. For shareholder returns, our dividend metric has been set to a dividend on equity (DOE) ratio of 3.5% or higher. At the same time, a 1:5 stock split and a shareholder benefit system have also been implemented. We are striving to build a company that investors will choose for the long term.

We hope you will continue to look forward to further growth and challenging new ventures from Toyoda Gosei.
