The section on social aspects explains activities undertaken during FY2006 with respect to each category of stakeholder and explains in detail the background, development, history, and approaches to those activities. The report also incorporates information on best practices by overseas affiliates in both the environmental and social sections as well as the comments and opinions of various stakeholders.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to our various stakeholders around the world, including customers and business partners, for their longstanding support. I do not believe, however, that Toyota’s continued existence is guaranteed. Corporations are not permanent entities, and only those businesses that can accurately anticipate changes in the business environment and respond appropriately will survive. One of the greatest changes in the business environment in recent years is the heightened expectations towards corporate social responsibility resulting from global environmental issues. Awareness is rising concerning such issues as global warming, resource depletion, and atmospheric pollution, and there are strong demands for businesses to develop harmonious relationships with society and the global environment. As such, achieving harmony with society and the environment is also a top priority for automakers, leading the various automakers to become engaged in fierce competition with a focus on the development of environmental technologies. Since its foundation, Toyota has conducted business with “contributing to the development of a prosperous society through the manufacture of automobiles” as a guiding principle. When I became president two years ago, I called on all employees to work with me in returning to our origins and asking earnestly whether Toyota is truly contributing to society and whether we are doing everything we should be doing. On the occasion of Toyota’s 70th anniversary, we will reinforce our measures designed to return to our core principle, which is to “repay the earth and society through technological innovation (and contribute

Acknowledgements: The research on which this study is based would not have been possible without the generous cooperation of managers, workers and union officials at NUMMI. Gary Robinson helped transcribe taped interviews with them and discern the key points. This article has benefitted from the comments of several NUMMI people and from the responses of many friends and colleagues: Chris Argyris, Joel Beinin, Christian Berggren, Bob Brenner, Clair Brown, El Buffa, Bob Cole, John Ettlie, Steve Frenkel, Don Gerwin, Meg Graham, Jan Hopland, Sandy Jacoby, Ed Lawler, Ann Majchrzak, Ruth Milkman, Michael Reich, Dick Scott, Bill Simon, David Stern, Steve Wheelwright, Bob Sutton, Lowell Turner, and Stephen Wood.
