Toyota Tsusho
Investment thesis
The page describes Toyota Tsusho Group's corporate sustainability activities rather than an investment thesis. Its focus includes increasing sales of next-generation eco-cars (HEVs, PHEVs, BEVs, FCEVs), building hydrogen station infrastructure, reducing vehicle weight with alternate materials, securing lithium resources for automobile batteries, and expanding renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, and biomass power). The overall aim is to contribute to a carbon-neutral society by cutting emissions throughout product lifecycles, including logistics and plant operations.
