Toyota Boshoku America, Inc. (TBA) is pleased to announce our collaboration with decarbonization software provider Manufacture 2030, to measure, manage and reduce carbon emissions, energy, water use and waste across its value chain. TBA is the first Tier 1 automotive supplier to join the M2030 platform as a supply chain owner showing its commitment to align with its customers and industry in the goal to decarbonize the automotive supply chain.
This new partnership will empower TBA’s suppliers to share and use environmental data to drive developments using M2030’s extensive range of industry best practice actions and expert advice. Through this collaboration, TBA aims to enhance sustainability efforts, reduce carbon footprint, and optimize processes for increased resource and cost efficiency.
Launched in the fall of 2022 and rolled out in spring 2023, the new partnership between Manufacture 2030 and Toyota Boshoku America begins with an initial group of high-impact suppliers. These industry leaders will pioneer sustainable practices, setting an example for others to follow. As the program progresses, TBA plans to expand its engagement with suppliers in phases throughout 2023 and beyond. This expansion will allow TBA to advance its ambitious climate and environmental targets in line with industry leaders.
By leveraging the Manufacture 2030 platform, Toyota Boshoku America aims to promote collaboration, transparency, and accountability across its supply chain. Through the submission of environmental data, suppliers can contribute to a collective effort in achieving sustainable goals. Additionally, the platform provides a wealth of resources and support, empowering suppliers to adopt environmentally responsible practices and optimize their operations.
As part of Manufacture 2030’s industry leading decarbonization program, TBA is working alongside six of North America’s largest automotive manufacturers who are in turn supporting more than 12,000 manufacturing sites around the globe to reduce their environmental impact and improve operational efficiencies.
Ryan Hunt, Vice President at Toyota Boshoku America said: “We are excited to partner with Manufacture 2030 as part of our Carbon Neutral journey. As a company, protecting the environment is one of our core values and we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint throughout our entire value chain. Partnering with Manufacture 2030 will allow us to support our suppliers in their decarbonization activities in a collaborative way that can move us all closer to our goals.”
