Following a comprehensive assessment of the dealership’s environmental initiatives, CII recognized Rajesh Toyota with a gold rating. This significant accomplishment underscores Rajesh Toyota's unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability, aligning with the broader vision as outlined in Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050 (TEC 2050).

The CII GreenCo Rating is a globally recognized framework that evaluates companies on their environmental performance through a comprehensive life cycle approach. Rajesh Toyota, the first automotive dealership in India to receive this CII accolade, has demonstrated exceptional leadership in implementing sustainable practices under various parameters, energy efficiency, waste management, and water conservation. Further this milestone achievement marks the ongoing celebration of TKM’s Environment Month (June 2024), themed "Unite for Responsible Resource Consumption towards becoming Global No.1", wherein the company aims to ignite awareness and action towards environmental stewardship with a key focus on water management and natural ecosystem revival with afforestation.

Towards sustainability, amongst various environmental driven initiatives, TKM has also devised Environmental Assessment System (EAS) to provide explicit guidance, fortifying its Environment Management System (EMS) across its entire value chain including dealers, suppliers, and logistic partners, which serves as a guiding framework in implementing best eco practices. Driven by TKM’s EMS, Rajesh Toyota has exemplified environmental excellence through a structured approach that began with establishing a robust environmental management organization at the dealership. By standardizing the environmental KPIs monitoring systems and setting challenging targets, Rajesh Toyota has achieved significant milestones. These include training dealer staffs on EMS, implementing various CO2 reduction measures such as AC temperature and lighting standardization, equipment energy reduction, compressed air reduction, lowering water usage through daily monitoring and enhancing value through waste segregation & proper disposal. Their commitment to environmental sustainability extends beyond their service centres, actively engaging with the community through sapling distributions, conducting eco driven roadshows and educational events at local schools.

The installation of an ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant) with a capacity of 10 KLD (Kilo Liters Per Day) and a filtration speed ranging between 800-1000 Liters per hour has resulted in zero liquid discharge due to efficient filtration and treatment processes undertaken at the Rajesh Dealership. They have developed a green cover of 34.21 % within their premises. In addition, various eco-initiatives are being promoted beyond the fence like creating awareness among the students in nearby schools & villages (community outreach) and contributing to water conservation projects.

Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling.

Expressing his thoughts, Mr. B.
