CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Build Deep, Long-Lasting Relationships with Customers

We make proposals at showrooms to ensure that customers can purchase our products with peace of mind. We also make various efforts through our call centers to respond to any questions or concerns our customers may have when using our products. In addition, we provide after-sales services that focus on being fast, reliable, and courteous. In these ways, we will continue to develop strong, long-lasting relationships of trust with our customers.

Initiatives for
After-Sales Services

“TOTO quality” refers to the quality of the products themselves in combination with their assembly and maintenance if a problem were to arise. To help improve the quality of these services, we send a postcard questionnaire to or call customers who have applied for after-sales service in order to gather information on customer satisfaction.

DIVERSITY

Advancing the Careers of Diverse Human Resources

We aim to be a company where a variety of personnel can gather, work with peace of mind, prosper, and take on challenges, and we conduct activities to promote diversity and implement workstyle reforms in order to create a workplace where all employees can play an active role. In addition, we will work with our suppliers to undertake activities that address CSR issues in such areas as human rights and labor, safety and health, and the environment.

Promotion of Diversity

The TOTO Group respects the individuality of its diverse human resources in terms of age, nationality, disability, gender identity (sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression), and aims to create a rich and comfortable lifestyle culture through new ideas born from this respect. In order to meet the diversifying needs of our customers and provide new value, we will develop an environment where diverse human resources, including women, people with disabilities, seniors, people of different nationalities, and LGBTQ people, respect each other and where everyone can continue working vigorously and with peace of mind. In addition, in order to achieve sustainable overseas business growth, we will develop local executive candidates for overseas group companies and provide them with TOTO-like leadership to expand our overseas business and create TOTO fans around the world.

FOR THE FUTURE

Promotion of Social Contribution and Community Coexistence Activities

The TOTO Group uses its management resources effectively in conducting social contribution and community coexistence activities aimed at the resolution of local and global social issues. As a good corporate citizen, we will carry out activities that contribute to the revitalization, maintenance, and development of local communities. We also actively support employee participation in volunteer activities across a broad range of fields, such as tree-planting and city cleanup activities, activities to provide aid to disaster-affected regions, and support for sports.

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.
