TOTO CLEANOVATION

Realize Cleanliness and Comfort throughout the World

To create clean and comfortable toilet spaces for our customers, we have developed a range of clean technologies unique to TOTO, such as EWATER+, CEFIONTECT, RIMLESS TORNADO FLUSH, and non-contact technology like TOUCHLESS. Based on TOTO CLEANOVATION, derived from the words "CLEAN" and "INNOVATION," we will communicate our three values for the continuation of clean innovation to customers around the world.

UNIVERSAL DESIGN

Universal Design of TOTO - To Create, Is To Think About People.

TOTO-Universal Design

Inheriting the Words of Our Founder, beginning with “Kindness must always come first,” we believe that to create is to think about people. To that end, we have continued to evolve TOTO’s Universal Design by closely observing the lifestyles of various people and turning a sympathetic ear to their concerns. In the 1960s, we began efforts that take into consideration those with disabilities. In addition to developing and selling products that make use of universal design, we also issue reports that survey the questions and concerns that people in wheelchairs, people with infants, sexual minorities, and other groups have when using toilets outside of their homes. In addition, we make proposals for toilet spaces that take into account various circumstances, and these proposals have been adopted in numerous locations.

TOTO’s founder, Kazuchika Okura, sent a letter to the Company’s second president, containing the words: “ Kindness must always come first. Your goal should be to provide good products and satisfy the customer. Accomplish that, and profit and prosperity will follow.” This message has been passed down from generation to generation of TOTO presidents as the words of our forebears. As TOTO’s 18th president, I will also position this way of thinking at the core of my management activities as I lead the approximately 35,000 TOTO Group employees working around the world as we seek to increase the number of TOTO fans worldwide.

I believe that the TOTO Group’s greatest strength is its people. I believe that TOTO’s pride and source of corporate value is that all group employees around the world—from research and product development to production, sales, and indirect departments—share the philosophy of “ All for the customer;” and that they think of their colleagues and help each other to improve.

The environment surrounding TOTO is changing rapidly, and it is clear that this situation will only continue to accelerate in the future. To keep up with these changes and pace of change, I would like us to make decisions more quickly than ever before, without fear of failure, and place importance on communication in order to achieve this.

The TOTO Group’s TOTO WILL 2030 strategy for creating shared value, which sets out the Group’s vision for 2030, has now reached its halfway point. Going forward, we will continue to push ahead without fear of change, taking into account the lessons learned in Stage 1, and envisage a grand design for the TOTO Group beyond 2030.
