2-3 Reporting period, frequency and contact point About This Report
2-4 Restatements of information TMNA is restating:
  • Energy, Energy intensity, Scope 1, Scope 2, Total Scope 1+2, and GHG emissions intensity data for FY2023. During the spring of 2024, we conducted an internal audit of energy and GHG data. We rectified significant over-reporting of natural gas usage at one of our U.S. plants. We continue to improve our data management system.
  • Canada fleet GHG data car for model year 2022. Environment and Climate Change Canada updated fleet GHG data for model year 2022, resulting in a change from what we reported last year as 163.8 to 164.8 g CO2e/mile.
  • Percent of Toyota and Lexus models with an electrified option for CY2023. We have updated CY2023 data to reflect the full year. In last year’s report, we reported results from January-June.
  • U.S. Fleet Fuel Economy for model years 2021 and 2022. These values were updated to match the real-world fuel economy reported in the 2023 EPA Trends report. Model year 2020 was updated to match the real-world fuel economy reported in EPA’s 2021 Trends Report.
  • The number of violations has been restated for fiscal years 2021 and 2022.
  • Water intensity plus water withdrawal, discharge and consumption for FY2022; water discharge and consumption, water discharged and consumed in water-stressed areas, and the portion (%) of water discharged and consumed in water-stress areas for FY2023. These updates are the result of closing minor gaps in our water inventory, for example, for sites that were not previously providing water data.
