By protecting the environment through our business activities, we contribute to the SDGs.
As a company that provides water-related products, the TOTO Group recognizes its responsibility to address the challenge of water resource depletion, which significantly affects people’s lives.
Accordingly, we continue to develop products that deliver both high water-saving performance and user comfort, and we promote their global adoption to achieve sustained reductions in water consumption during product use.
We are working to reduce the amount of water needed to comfortably use toilets while ensuring thorough waste discharge.
Currently, the NEOREST series achieves a flush volume of 3.8 liters per use, and we are also striving to improve water-saving performance in faucets and showers.
We recognize the impact of climate change as a business risk and are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions based on scientific evidence.
On average, our products are used for a period of 10 to 20 years.
From the perspective of the product life cycle, this means that the use phase accounts for more than 90% of total CO2 emissions.
By actively striving to reduce emissions during the use stage of the product life cycle, we aim to realize comfortable and eco-friendly daily living.
Regarding CO2 emissions from business activities, we are advancing reduction plans that consider long-term business growth.
As part of this effort, we are actively introducing renewable energy sources.

To create future societies that use water effectively and sustainably, both corporate activities and citizen initiatives are essential. To this end, we established the TOTO Water Environment Fund to support activities that conserve the global environment and create hygienic, comfortable living environments.
Through this fund, we contribute to solving community issues and promoting sustainable development.
