Toyota Environmental Activities Grant Programme Accepting 2016 Applications

Toyota Motor Corporation on Wednesday began accepting applications for this year’s Toyota Environmental Activities Grant Programme designed to support environmental revitalization and conservation activities aimed at sustainable development.

The Toyota Environmental Activities Grant Programme was established in commemoration of Toyota’s receipt of the Global 500 Award in 1999 from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and has been carried out every year since 2000 as part of Toyota’s environmental social contribution activities, with this year marking the program’s 17th year.

The programme aims to contribute to the resolution of environmental concerns and cultivate a new generation of leaders who will drive change on both a local and global basis.

A statement issued Wednesday in Toyota City, Japan and obtained by AUTO REPORT AFRICA said grants will be provided to NPOs and other private, non-profit organizations and groups (excluding schools) that are promoting practical projects.

These activities, the statement added, will become a part of initiatives aimed at meeting the goals set out in the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, which was announced last year.
