Toyota Global Vision

The business vision and guiding principles that define us

Toyota will lead the way to the future of mobility, enriching lives around the world with the safest and most responsible ways of moving people. Through our commitment to quality, constant innovation and respect for the planet, we aim to exceed expectations and be rewarded with a smile.

Tree concept

Trees are naturally strong — they’re useful, long-lasting, and continue to grow for hundreds of years. Our principles are like tree-roots, because everything we do is rooted in our beliefs. From there, vast and secure roots support the great tree-trunk — the strength and stability of Toyota. Branches lead to the twelve fruits of our vision, with the tree supporting everything — a metaphor for how we pull together to achieve success. And the tree flourishes in its environment; a place full of people — Toyota customers around the world.

The tree metaphor

**Respect for the planet** In everything we do, we will show consideration to the planet. We investigate and promote systems and solutions that are eco-friendly.

**Commitment to quality** We constantly raise our standards for dependability, reliability and customer satisfaction.

**Challenging goals** We aim high and work together... that’s who we are.

**There is always a better way** The spirit of kaizen... reaching higher and challenging ourselves to find a better way in everything we do... every single day.

**Exceed expectations** Our attitude is to anticipate and deliver to the needs of those we serve.

**Rewarded with a smile** Customer satisfaction is best expressed with a smile. It promotes a behavior of gratitude and appreciation in all that we do.

**Engaging the talent & passion of people** The power of our organization comes from the skill and diversity of our team members and business partners... solving problems and creating new ideas.

**Lead the way** Toyota will be a frontrunner. We will seize opportunities and invest in the future.

**Future of mobility** We'll develop new forms of transportation and pursue new ways to connect technology with people.

**Safest & most responsible ways of moving people** Safety is our number one priority – for our employees and our customers. Nothing is more important.

**Constant innovation** Our goal: “Always better cars.” We continually reinvent ourselves, introduce new technologies and stay ahead of our competition.

**Enriching lives around the world** Through the concept of monozukuri, we will create jobs, develop people and contribute to society.

MR2 - History of Toyota sports cars The MR2 of 1984 was actually derived from a 1976 design project that had the goal of building an enjoyable, yet fuel efficient car – much like the earlier Sports 800.
