Toyota has really followed through its promise of becoming green and has become one (if not the only) of the leading companies that pledge in keeping the environment clean and safe.

Toyota recently released its first update on their progress regarding their 2011 Environmental Action Plan (EAP). Toyota is focusing on the following key areas � Environmental Management, Energy and Climate Change, Air Quality, Substances of Concern, Recycling and Improved Resource Use, and Cooperation with Society. Toyota�s first step in meeting these goals is establishing a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) as Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc., in cooperation with SunPower Corporation, will be installing a 2.28 megawatt solar electric power system on the roof of the TMS Ontario Parts Center (California).

Toyota was also recognized by the state of California with the Governor�s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award (GEELA) for Toyota�s sustainable practices and facilities.
