Toyota Environmental Sustainablity Report

TMMF Environment Team (L-R): Fabien Boulanger,
Cyril Cauchy, Alexis Laurie and Joel Dubois
Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (TMMF) began
production in 2001. The plant was built following
the Green, Clean and Lean concept. Consequently,
TMMF’s area size is 30% smaller for its capacity
than a plant with similar activities. This allows TMMF
to optimise energy consumption related to heating
and on-site logistics.
Since the start of production, TMMF has made
environmental conservation a priority - the plant
obtained ISO14001 certification in 2002 and
attained zero waste to landfill from the outset. It
also achieved zero incineration in 2007, making it
the first company in the North of France to do so.
TMMF:
A Sustainable
Plant producing
a Sustainable Car
TMMF was chosen by Toyota Motor Corporation as a Sustainable Plant in 2007 due to
its environmental performance and is considered Toyota’s European benchmark for CO 2
emissions and water consumption. As a Sustainable Plant, TMMF works on three pillars:
Eco-showcase to implement renewable energy and innovative technologies
Eco-mind to develop members and local community knowledge about the environment
Eco-kaizen to always improve its performance.
This commitment is demonstrated by the following reductions that have been achieved from
2002 until 2010 :
reDuCTion from 2002 To 2010
Energy (kWh/vehicle) - 40 %
Waste (kg/vehicle) - 50 %
Volatile Organic Compounds emissions (g/m²) - 50 %
Purchased water (m 3 /vehicle) - 70 %
Yaris Hybrid will be produced in TMMF from 2012
