Human Rights
Fundamental Approach
Toyota refers to and respects the United Nations
Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights (UNGP) and promotes actions related to
human rights based on the UNGP. Seeking the
happiness of others than ourselves is a part of
Toyota's founding principles and was a driving
force that led to the invention of the automatic
loom, which can be considered the beginning of
Toyota. This spirit and pursuit is still within us
today. Under the mission of "producing happi-
ness for all," within every country and every
region in which we operate, we aim to be the
best company in town, one that is both loved
and trusted by the people. The automobile
industry depends on the support of numerous
people, including local communities, business
partners (such as suppliers and dealers), and
customers. We will continue to protect the
human rights of our employees, customers, and
all people involved in our business activities and
to improve such protections in order to benefit
these stakeholders and society.
Human Rights Policy >
Human Rights Due Diligence*1
To address human rights-related issues through-
out the supply chain, Toyota applies the Toyota
Supplier Sustainability Guidelines, which specifi-
cally state its expectation that its suppliers
respect human rights. Working together with
suppliers on risk monitoring, countermeasure
development, tracking, and remediation, Toyota
provides guidance and support to potentially
affected stakeholders.
Furthermore, we work with NGOs and other
external stakeholders to both understand societal
expectations and assess our prioritized activities
from a third-party perspective. By doing so, we
hope to increase transparency and ensure that
corporate activities are fair and appropriate.
Toyota's Action Taken for Forced Labor of Migrant
Workers (Statement on the Modern Slavery Acts)
Based on the United Kingdom's Modern Slavery
Act 2015 and similar legislation of other coun-

Toyota issues statements under the title

Workers (Statement on the Modern Slavery
Acts)," covering its domestic facilities and aimed
at promoting efforts at both domestic and over-
seas production facilities.
In this statement, we disclose Toyota's commit-
ment to the relevant laws and describe measures
we have implemented to prevent any instance of
modern slavery, including human trafficking, in
either our direct operations or supply chain.

Responsible Mineral Sourcing
Toyota has formulated its Policies and
Approaches to Responsible Mineral Sourcing
based on the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for
Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from
Conflict-affected and High-risk Areas and strives
to prevent such human rights violations as child
labor and forced or coerced labor.
Policies and Approaches to Responsible Mineral Sourcing ▸
Investigation and Disclosure of the Use of
Conflict Minerals (Compliance with the U.S.
Dodd-Frank Act)
Since 2013, Toyota has been conducting reason-
able country-of-origin inquiries throughout its sup-
ply chain based on the OECD Due Diligence
Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of
Minerals from Conflict-affected and High-risk
Areas. We request that the suppliers make cor-
rections if there are any errors or omissions in their
responses in order to improve the effectiveness of
our efforts.
In cooperation with the Responsible Minerals
Initiative (RMI), Toyota Motor North America (U.S.)
takes part in the activities of the Conflict-free
Sourcing Working Group and the working group
of the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG)
on conflict minerals originating from the
Democratic Republic of Congo.
Conflict Minerals Report
Responsible Sourcing of Cobalt
Cobalt, used in batteries and other products nec-
essary for automobile electrification, is an import-
ant mineral resource for Toyota.
Toyota recognizes that there are concerns
associated with the mining of cobalt regarding
child labor and other human rights violations and
abuses. Toyota has been advancing activities to
clarify the supply chain for batteries, in which
cobalt is the primary component, using the Cobalt
Reporting Template, or CRT, provided by RMI. As
of March 2020, we had identified several smelters
in our supply chain.
Toyota will continue conducting background
surveys of smelters and implementing appropriate
measures to mitigate any risks identified.
Meanwhile, by participating in the activities of
the RMI Cobalt Working Group, Toyota Motor
North America (U.S.) is encouraging smelters and
refiners to acquire related certifications.
