Toyota aims to create a more inclusive society via Tokyo 2020

With two years to go until the #Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games (August 25-September 6, 2020), #Toyota is supporting Para sports and inclusivity through mobility at multiple levels

TOKYO, Aug. 24, 2018―As a worldwide partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, #Toyota Motor Corporation is supporting Para sports and contributing to creating a more inclusive society at the grassroots level, as well as through cooperation with The #Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee) and the broader business community in Japan. During the upcoming Paralympic Games, #Toyota will encourage further interest in Para sports around the world while providing "Mobility for All" solutions.

Speaking on Toyota's focus on the Paralympics, Akio Toyoda, President of #Toyota Motor Corporation, said, "Through my meetings with Sir #philipcraven when he was President of the International Paralympic Committee in 2015, and with many Para athletes since, I have become even more committed to the idea that #Toyota should provide mobility solutions for all #people. With this in mind, we are taking steps as a mobility company, not just by making 'ever-better cars', but also by aiming to address various mobility needs above and beyond cars."

He continued, "I am convinced this journey will help us appreciate differences as individuality, and lead us to free ourselves from the sort of fixed thinking that can hold back large organizations like ours, and from prejudice and discrimination in society at large. I see Toyota's involvement with the Paralympic movement as taking a decisive step toward our goal of "One Toyota" and as a humble step to help achieve Sir Philip's motto, "One World, One Dream, One #people."
