Background
Published April 1, 2025, the GSR is framed as a contract document that supplements Toyota’s applicable supplier terms and conditions and may be revised over time to reflect legal/contractual changes and environmental performance goals. Toyota cites climate change, water scarcity, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss as drivers, and highlights the need for stronger supplier data systems—particularly for Scope 1 and 2 reporting via Manufacture2030—to support Toyota’s disclosure obligations and Scope 3 management.
Reporting requirements
Toyota’s GSR stipulates and recurring reporting across key topics. Among other details, suppliers are expected to:
Maintain (or acquire) ISO 14001 or Responsible Care certification (as applicable) and submit supporting documentation upon request.
Track energy consumption and associated CO₂ emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and report facility totals annually to TMNA.
Establish a facility plan to reduce energy use and CO₂ emissions (Scopes 1 and 2).
Set and meet annual absolute reduction targets (minimum): Scope 1 & 2 -5.5%, and Scope 3 -2.5%.
Submit annual energy/CO₂/renewables data by dates communicated during Toyota’s CO₂ reporting kickoff.
Logistics suppliers are to submit a GHG Emissions Report by the 15th of each month.
The GSR forms part of Toyota’s supplier contracting framework, meaning that expectations are intended to be enforceable through Toyota’s supplier terms and related agreements.
Current Status and Future Outlook
Toyota is moving GSR from reporting to performance management: emissions data flows through Manufacture2030 and is being standardized across supplier sites via industry collaboration. Suppliers can expect more primary Scope 3 data requests, tighter verification, and greater linkage to sourcing decisions as TMNA pursues its 2030 year-on-year supplier/logistics reduction goals and renewable-energy milestones, alongside continued expanding chemical phase-outs and water-risk focus.
