In
FY2002, Toyota continued to develop products applying its product
environmental management system based on ISO 14001 standards.
With regard to internal audits, there were some indications
of minor non-compliance with regard to the management of environmental
documentation, environmental education and training, etc. Corrective
actions were immediately implemented.
Although an external audit identified three issues as items
to be monitored, it found no instances of non-compliance on
the whole and concluded that Toyota is appropriately applying
and maintaining the environmental management system (EMS). |
