Toyota Lowers Emissions 14%

Toyota Motor North America announced a 14% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 (operations-related) GHG emissions compared to  FY2019.

The automaker also announced that as of FY2024, 74 dealers were active in its Dealer Environmental Excellence Program (D.E.E.P.), a program to help dealers improve their environmental performance. Participating dealers reduced their use of electricity from non-renewable sources by 20%.

As released in the publication of its 2024 North American Environmental Sustainability Report, Toyota announced that 77% of Toyota and Lexus models available for purchase or lease in North America now have an electrified option, with more on the way.

The report outlines Toyota's environmental strategy, highlights progress toward contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and details the company's advancements in its four priority areas — carbon, water, circular economy and biodiversity. The report also presents data in an organized environmental metrics table and includes a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) context index with disclosures aligned with GRI standards.

"Building on Toyota's foundational principle of continuous improvement, Toyota aims to achieve our environmental sustainability goals – not just becoming carbon neutral – but also the continued collaboration, cooperation, and data management activities as they become standardized for all team members," said Kevin Butt, regional environmental sustainability director, Toyota Motor North America, in a statement. "I'm confident Toyota will be successful, and we look forward to seeing additional growth as we come to further understand the impacts of sustainability."
