About the report

Once again Toyota do Brasil (TDB) is publishing its main social, economic and environmental projects, highlights and indicators in this Sustainability Report, which covers fiscal 2015/2016. The document adopts the Core option of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 guidelines, reinforcing the company's commitment to transparency and accountability to Brazilian society.

In this reporting cycle, the company has opted to disseminate the report primarily via digital media, in Portuguese and in English. It will also produce a summarized print version, showing the main highlights and achievements during the period.

The definition of the report contents took into account the strategic directives issued by TMC, as well as the results of the materiality process undertaken in the previous fiscal year, by means of which the company mapped the most material sustainability topics from the standpoint of its stakeholder groups (read more in Relations based on trust).

The indicators and data relate to all the TDB units in operation during the fiscal year – which runs from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016. Specific information is also provided about the supplier chain, the dealership network and the Fundação Toyota do Brasil regarding environmental and social indicators that are monitored as part of Toyota strategy.

The scope of the report does not cover the Brazilian operations of the organization's Lexus division. There were no significant alterations in the metrics used or in the data base. However, some indicators related to the Porto Feliz plant and the Suape logistics center are likely to be altered in fiscal 2016/2017. Any revisions and restatements of information are described in footnotes or throughout the report.

The Sustainability Report is a document for which Toyota do Brasil is responsible. It reinforces the company's belief in the country and its mission to contribute to local development, with an open door policy regarding clarifying doubts or responding to questions about its businesses.
