Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has reinforced its commitment to sustainability on World Forest Day and World Water Day, aligning with the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050 (TEC 2050). The company continues to integrate eco-friendly measures, optimizing water usage, enhancing afforestation efforts, and promoting biodiversity conservation to drive long-term environmental and business impact. At its Karnataka plant, TKM follows a ‘4R’ water strategy—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Recharge—fulfilling 89.3% of its production water needs through recycled water and rainwater harvesting. With 51,000 cubic meters of rainwater storage and 18 groundwater recharge pits, the company is advancing towards Zero Liquid Discharge. The Toyota Greenwave Project has resulted in over 328,000 saplings planted, improving carbon sequestration.
Sharing his thoughts, Mr. B. Padmanabha, Executive Vice President & Director – Manufacturing at Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said,“For us, sustainability is deeply woven into every aspect of our business. Over these 26 remarkable years of our successful operations in India, our journey has always been driven by a commitment to creating lasting value through innovation, corporate responsibility, and meaningful relationships with the communities. Guided by TEC 2050, we integrate pioneering sustainability practices not only in our plant operations but across the entire value chain, driving real change in the society. Our vision is clear—to create a future where sustainability and well-being thrive together, enriching lives, while protecting our planet. We take pride in the impact we have made and remain committed to driving lasting, sustainable change. Our work continues, building a brighter, happier future for all.”
With rising consumer awareness, the brand is well-positioned to strengthen its foothold in the Northeast’s evolving automobile sector. Beyond operations, TKM continues its community-driven sustainability efforts, including lake conservation and the 25-acre Ecozone, reinforcing its leadership in environmental responsibility while enhancing market appeal.
