Culture and values

Matthew Callachor, PRESIDENT & CEO

At Toyota Australia, we want to create a work environment where everyone feels respected and supported irrespective of their gender, orientation, or background. This is our commitment to Toyota Australia employees.

Kaizen

Kaizen is the essence of continuous improvement. It is a way of thinking which encourages and empowers everyone to identify where and how even small changes can be made.

Genchi Genbutsu

Genchi Genbutsu – “going to the source” – is about checking the facts yourself, so you can be sure you have the right information you need to make a good decision.

Challenge

When we embrace a challenge we also commit ourselves to challenging what we know and what we can do to complete it. We approach each challenge with creativity and with courage.

Respect

Through respect, we accept personal responsibility for what we do and build mutual trust and understanding with those around us.

Every member of a team is given the opportunity to do their best, and the accountability to achieve results. This is true from the boardroom to the production line.

The Toyota Community Trust

Following the closure of its manufacturing operations in Australia, Toyota wanted to leave a legacy that would provide long term benefits to the Australian community. The aim of the Trust is to leave a legacy that would provide long term benefits to the Australian community by encouraging and enabling more young Australians to pursue further study and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The initial focus of support was in the Victorian Western suburbs of Melbourne (the former home of Toyota’s Australian manufacturing plant), which has now been expanded to Australia-wide applicants to focus on STEM challenges at a national level.
