At Gresham Toyota, we’re proud to represent a brand that goes beyond building great cars. Toyota is deeply committed to sustainability, not just in its vehicles, but across its entire manufacturing process. And the key to achieving this? Co-innovation.

Beyond Internal Innovation:

While Toyota boasts a remarkable history of internal innovation, they recognize the value of collaborating with diverse stakeholders to address complex sustainability challenges. This “co-innovation” approach involves partnering with:

  • Suppliers: Engaging suppliers in developing more sustainable materials, production processes, and waste reduction strategies.
  • Academia and research institutions: Leveraging leading-edge research and expertise to identify and implement cutting-edge solutions.
  • Communities: Working with local communities to minimize environmental impact, promote resource efficiency, and create shared value.

Toyota’s Co-Innovation Initiatives:

Here are some exciting examples of Toyota’s co-innovation efforts:

  • The Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050: This ambitious initiative brings together stakeholders to achieve carbon neutrality across Toyota’s operations and products by 2050.
  • The Closed-Loop Recycling Consortium: Collaborating with industry leaders to establish a closed-loop recycling system for end-of-life vehicles, minimizing waste and maximizing resource recovery.
  • The Smart Cities Initiative: Partnering with municipalities to develop sustainable transportation solutions, including hydrogen fuel cell buses and smart mobility infrastructure.

The Power of Partnership:

By fostering co-innovation, Toyota aims to:

  • Accelerate progress towards sustainability goals: The combined expertise and resources of diverse partners can lead to faster and more impactful solutions.
  • Drive innovation beyond traditional boundaries: New perspectives and approaches can unlock creative solutions that might not have been considered internally.
  • Build a more sustainable future for all: By involving communities and stakeholders in the process, Toyota ensures that sustainability efforts have a positive and lasting impact.
