Environment | Toyota Canada

There is no future for the automotive industry without the promotion of environmental technology. Listening to customers, Toyota understands that only companies that succeed in this area will be acceptable to society. Toyota’s goal is to develop, produce and market environmental technologies that will have mass-market appeal. There will be no “silver bullet” solution – the key is to offer the right vehicle, at the right price, at the right time.

Toyota has been delivering quality, efficient vehicles for decades – including the world's best selection of fuel-friendly, lower emissions hybrids. Only Toyota and Lexus hybrid systems offer a solution that can simultaneously achieve cleaner emissions, provide greater efficiency and deliver more power than a conventional vehicle. And, since Toyota and Lexus hybrids are full hybrids, they can start up and run in electric mode alone. But there's so much more to the story. From design, manufacturing and distribution... to sales, service and end of life disposal... Toyota is setting the industry standard for sustainable transportation and business operations. Here you'll find information, images and other resources that will help explain Toyota Canada’s commitment to green.

TORONTO, ON., (December 3, 2014) – There are the 46 million litres of water being captured, cleaned and recycled this year, thanks to a process innovation created and implemented by Team Members involved in vehicle painting at Toyota’s assembly plant in Cambridge, Ontario. There are the 6,300 cubic metres of natural gas saved in the last twelve months at Toyota’s aluminum wheel manufacturer in Delta, British Columbia, as a result of that group’s creativity in improving how materials are melted. Toyota has more LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified dealerships in Canada than any other automotive manufacturer. As these examples illustrate, when it comes to helping the environment, Toyota is raising the bar in just about every way imaginable in Canada – and it’s all documented in Toyota’s just-published 2014 North American Environmental Report. “Whether it’s sustainability in our operations, or developing technologically-advanced vehicles that dramatically improve fuel efficiency and lower emissions, we are constantly reducing our environmental footprint,” said Stephen Beatty, Chief Environmental Officer, Toyota Canada Inc. “Our progress is made possible through strong collaboration and unity of vision among everyone in the Toyota family – head office, manufacturing sites, dealerships, partners and suppliers.” This year’s environmental report shares success stories in five areas: carbon, water, materials, biodiversity and outreach. Canadian highlights for each category include: Carbon Toyota’s fuel cell vehicle will hit the market in 2015, powered by hydrogen and emitting nothing but water vapour.
