Toyota Tsusho was established in 1948. As the sole general trading company in the Toyota Group, we strengthened our overseas operations in the 1980s and 1990s and expanded around our core automotive business.

Thereafter, we began to expand non-automotive businesses. We merged with the trading companies Kasho in 2000 and Tomen in 2006 to accelerate our growth into such new business fields as infrastructure, chemicals, and food. Since 2010, we have expanded the scope and honed the capabilities of existing businesses while accelerating investments in new business fields, such as bluefin tuna aquaculture and overseas hospital management. In 2012, we made the largest investment in our history in CFAO, a French trading company with a strong presence in Africa.

In this way, we are achieving sustainable growth by widening our business field.

Toyota Tsusho is a member of the Toyota Group, which comprises 17 companies: Toyota Motor, Toyota Industries, Aichi Steel, JTEKT, Toyota Auto Body, Aisin Seiki, Denso, Toyota Boshoku, Towa Real Estate, Toyota Central R&D Labs, Toyota Motor East Japan, Toyoda Gosei, Hino Motors, Daihatsu Motor, Toyota Home, Toyota Motor Kyushu, and Toyota Tsusho.

As the Toyota Group's sole general trading company, we gather information and promote the development of new business from a global perspective. As automotive professionals with unique capabilities and know-how, we strive to lead the Toyota Group in the challenge to develop the evolution of next-generation mobility to contribute to the development of both society and the Toyota Group.

 

Toyota Tsusho's business spans a wide range of fields. We have organized our business under seven operating divisions: Metals + (Plus), Supply Chain, Mobility, Green Infrastructure, Circular Economy, Lifestyle, Digital Solutions, Administrative. Though different in the products and services they provide, these divisions share the same goal of creating and delivering diverse value by developing unique functions from a dedicated customer-oriented approach. Each division maintains highly specialized expertise and leverages unique capabilities in its respective field. At the same time, the divisions combine their know-how and capabilities to generate synergy and create new value.

It is said that trading companies are all about their people. The foundation of a Toyota Tsusho person is the Toyota Tsusho Group Way.

The Toyota Tsusho Group Way is shared among group employees in all countries and regions, no matter the work responsibilities, as our core values and code of conduct as we strive to achieve the corporate philosophy and vision.

In workplaces across the world, we share a passion for business, maximizing teamwork based on our "on-site, hands-on, in-touch" approach.

A global network is a lifeline for a general trading company dependent on extensive information gathering capabilities to collect intelligence and generate business.

Toyota Tsusho does business with customers around the world through a global network spanning more than 90 countries and 970 group companies. We build business from a local perspective by understanding the culture and history of each country and region, and taking an "on-site, hands-on, in-touch" approach attuned to local needs and driven by talented local staff.

We are dedicated to learning from local communities and growing with them in our effort to contribute to each country and region as a truly global company.

Having set decarbonization as one of its Key Sustainability Issues (Materiality), the entire Toyota Tsusho Group is promoting the achievement of global carbon neutrality. We participate in initiatives toward realizing a decarbonized society and circular economy, which will lead to carbon neutrality. These are business domains in which the group has long engaged, and we operate various related projects such as a wind power generation business, which has grown to be the largest in Japan.

TTTC aims to be a value-generating corporation that contributes to the strength of society in accordance with its corporate philosophy statement:

“Living and prospering together with people, society, and the globe.”

In line with the aforementioned goal, we continually conduct Team Power & CSR activities.

Meantime, we have also emphasized on many CSR activities such as blood donation, computer donation to schools & other foundations, donation for natural disaster victims relief, etc.

Awards & Certificates

Also, many awards & certificates granted by the government on labor relations & welfare. AEO importer/exporter, ESCO projects award, friendly design building, and support-handicapped employment, enhance our company as a good governance organization & environmental friendly ISO 9001, 14001.
