PLANO, Texas (Nov. 10, 2026) — Toyota’s 2026 North American Environmental Sustainability Report, published today, highlights progress across three priority areas of aspiration: Carbon Neutrality, Circular Economy and Nature. It also marks the completion of Toyota’s 7^th Environmental Action Plan (EAP), a five-year roadmap that has surpassed targets in renewable electricity, water efficiency, packaging reduction, and pollinator habitat. Simultaneously, Toyota has continued advancing longer-term work on battery recycling and logistics decarbonization.

“Over the past five years, Toyota has set and achieved ambitious targets, continuing our more than 30-year-dedication to sustainable practices,” said Liz Gibson, chief sustainability officer, Toyota Motor North America (TMNA). “This progress builds upon our strong foundation and reflects our commitment to sustainability across the business.”

Key progress and performance data is organized in an environmental metrics table and includes a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) content index with disclosures aligned with GRI standards.

2026 highlights for Toyota include:

Carbon Neutrality Targets

• Exceeded goal of 40% electrified new vehicle sales in the U.S. With 33 electrified Toyota and Lexus models available in North America, and more on the way, Toyota’s multi-pathway technology strategy enables customers to participate in achieving emissions reductions.
• Achieved a 42% reduction in combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across North American operations since FY2021, with a 22% decrease in FY2026 compared to FY2025.
• As of the end of March 2026, 68% of the electricity purchased or matched by TMNA was renewable, surpassing the 7th EAP target of 45%. More information on Toyota’s push to match 100% of its North American facilities’ electricity consumption with renewable energy can be found here.

Circular Economy Targets    

• Exceeded 7th EAP packaging target of 25%, reducing single-use packaging materials by 36% compared to the 2018 baseline.
• Reused or recycled 92% of all waste at North American facilities, with only 2.5% sent to landfill.
• An example of aluminum recycling at Toyota Missouri can be found here.

Nature Targets

• Supporting more than 31,000 cumulative acres of pollinator habitat in North America in collaboration with local and national organizations, Toyota surpassed its 7th EAP biodiversity target of 26,000 acres. These efforts include restoring forests to support monarch butterfly migration.
• Between 2022 and 2025, Toyota’s support of The Nature Conservancy helped restore continuous water flow to a 42-mile stretch of the Hardy River in the Colorado River Delta. See our story on water conservation efforts here.
• Through water reduction projects and increased water recycling at its plants, Toyota met its 7th EAP water target, reducing water use per vehicle produced by 11%.

Looking Ahead
Toyota is carrying this momentum into its 8^th Environmental Action Plan. Team members across the company will help achieve the next five-year targets to reduce emissions, advance electrification, and restore ecosystems. Each EAP supports Toyota’s progress toward the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050.
