Chief Executive IMC, Ali Asghar Jamali, sharing his thoughts, said “This is a great way to start the new financial year and what better platform to exhibit our efforts than The Professionals Network. For us at Toyota, safety takes precedence over everything else, be it at the factory, on the roads or advocating for a safer environment. This safety culture is not just limited to us rather, transcends to our complete value chain comprising suppliers and dealers. Adding to it, under our social responsibility program, Concern Beyond Cars, since 2021 we rolled-out the Toyota 5S Program to benefit a wider audience outside the realm of IMC.”
Toyota is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and earlier this year introduced the first Make in Pakistan hybrid electric, the Corolla Cross, with the highest-ever localized content. Under the umbrella of the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, IMC remains steadfast in its commitment to environmental sustainability. The company has implemented various initiatives, including the installation of water treatment plants, solid waste treatment, and disposal management systems, as well as the a 6.6MW solar photo voltaic plant, the largest one in Pakistan by an automobile company. IMC firmly believes that every small initiative has the potential to create a ripple effect and make a lasting impact on society.
