Awareness-raising Activities
Toyota is working to educate and raise awareness
among all employees, including buyers. We
request that suppliers work to promote sustain-
ability through their own, voluntary initiatives while
also working closely with them on cooperative
sustainability promotion.
Dealers
Dealers are the front line where Toyota's Customer
First policy is directly observed. Toyota and its deal-
ers share the value of its products and services and
constantly work as one to enhance customer satis-
faction based on a strong relationship of trust
through close two-way communication as partners.
Toyota follows a "Customer First, Dealer Second,
Manufacturer Third" approach. We work alongside
dealers to meet customer expectations and raise
the level of customer satisfaction. We believe that,
through these efforts, we will realize growth for
both dealers and Toyota.
