Contributing to a Prosperous Society by Creating Ever-Better CarsI would like to express my thanks to everyone for their continuing understanding and support.
Toyota Auto Body was founded as a specialized truck manufacturer in 1945, and since that time we have taken an integrated approach from development to production in order to create vehicles that are always ahead of their times. Examples include the Toyoace trucks that have been described as Japan’s national vehicle, Toyota’s first global vehicle the Land Cruiser, the Hiace van that was the first “one-box” commercial minivan in Japan, and the Estima which triggered the minivan boom.
The environment surrounding our business is undergoing large changes including energy and resource problems, an aging society, and diversifying values as globalization progresses. Toyota Auto Body intends to face these issues directly and contribute to a prosperous society by creating ever-better cars.
As a manufacturer of complete commercial vehicles, minivans, and SUVs, we aim to produce vehic les that exceed customers’ expectations. For this purpose, we are dedicated to vehicle production that incorporates market needs, such as the ways our products are used around the world, the level of quality demanded by the customers, customer requests, and other market information.
The re-designed Alphard and Vellfire that were released in January 2015 were developed and produced based on our efforts to directly listen to user opinions, and have been highly popular as a true crystallization of customer needs. In order to provide mobility freedom and happiness to all people, we are now working on development and production of assisted mobility vehicles for elderly and disabled persons, and also of the COMS single-occupant electric vehicle.
Towards Creating Ever-Better Cars
(1) Meeting customer expectations
Demonstrating the features of the Voxy wheelchair-accessible vehicle (assisted mobility vehicles)
The foundation of creating ever-better cars is our people. Through personnel training programs and teamwork-building activities, we are working to create healthy and vibrant workplaces so that all of our employees can be active on the global stage as car-manufacturing professionals.
8,000 employees participated in the all-company sports day, which was held last September for the first time in 15 years. We intend to continue holding this sports day as an event where all employees work together to develop an active workplace spirit and feeling of unity.
(2) Creating ever-better cars begins with the development of human resources

We believe that in order to be a company which is needed by society, earning the trust of local communities is important.
At Fure-Ai Park (Fureai: interaction, Fureru: Touch and feel, Ai: love) located adjacent to the Head Office Plant that opened in May of last year, we host a rice-farming experience in which local elementary school students participate, as well as environmental workshops and other activities to improve communication with the community. We intend to continue utilizing this park as an opportunity for community interaction in the future.
Towards Creating an Ever-Better Society
(1) Social contributions
Weaving cer-emonial ropes u s i n g r i c e straw from the rice field
Preservation of the Earth’s environment is an important issue for the creation of a sustainable society. We have formulated the Toyota Auto Body Environmental Action Plan, and have set targets for each process from design to production.
Specifically, in product development we are working to develop weight-reducing technologies that will contribute to improved fuel economy, and for product designs that maximize recycling. At our plants, we are working to reduce CO2 emissions, including the installation of the latest cogeneration systems.

Fifth Toyota Auto Body Environmental Action Plan
This year in August, Toyota Auto Body will celebrate the 70th anniversary of our founding. We are profoundly grateful to the customers who have bought and used our products and made this success possible. We would also like to sincerely thank the members of the local communities, everyone at our suppliers and affiliated companies, and our predecessors who built our company’s history.
In this milestone year, everyone in the Toyota Auto Body Group will work together to make us a business group that is even more needed by people in our society. For this purpose, I would like to ask for everyone’s continued support and guidance.

「CSR Policy」
(Created in 1963)
Reflection should be the nourishment for the enterprising sprit, and live for the joy of diligent labor
Appreciation:
Encourage honesty and cooperation with sincerity and faith
Amity:
Stay ahead of current trend and respect ideas and time
Development:
Toyota Auto Body stands with the global view fo r research and manufactur ing wh i le contributing to society with our fine products to have unceasing advancement of business practices
The Executive Member System was introduced to define the roles of our board of directors and corporate officers. The board of directors is responsible for executive decisions and supervisory functions, and the corporate officers are responsible for business and corporate affairs. Our intention is to ensure quick decision-making for our business development strategy and to speed up our operations by reducing the number of directors.
We have also created a system for cross-divisional committee deliberations related to business and corporate affairs.
Additionally, the Audit Department for all divisions at Toyota Auto Body performs internal audits centering on the areas of compliance and reliable financial reporting. In addition, we also carry out audits which include external auditors, as well as accounting audits by accounting auditors.
In order to improve our activities related to corporate ethics, compliance, risk management, social contributions, and the environment, we established the CSR Committee, which is comprised of all board directors and auditors. We also established four committees below the CSR Committee in May of 2009 for deliberating and taking action on important issues.
