“Receiving this recognition validates the constant work of our organization to measure its carbon footprint, demonstrating a real decrease in our emissions. We thank the entire team that is committed to mitigating the effects of climate change for the benefit of a more prosperous future,” he said. David Caro, Corporate Affairs and ESG Manager of Toyota del Perú.
In line with its objective of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, the automotive company continues to expand its product portfolio. In Peru, the strategy to reduce CO2 emissions is based on the diversification of technologies. These include the expansion of electric hybrid vehicles, the increased use of natural gas vehicles, and the introduction of vehicles with smaller displacement engines.
In the current context, where the vehicle cycle represents the main source of emissions, another important aspect to prioritize is the regionalization of vehicles. This implies an emphasis on knowing the origin of the vehicles and adopting initiatives that minimize displacements in the distribution routes.
“This important milestone reflects our commitment to sustainability. We remain steadfast in our global goal of achieving carbon neutrality in the full life cycle of our products by 2050,” added David Caro.
