The Toro Company, Bloomington, Minnesota, released its sustainability report for fiscal 2021, which highlights key achievements, metrics and newly defined sustainability goals as part of its Sustainability Endures strategic initiative.
“At The Toro Company, sustainability is ingrained in our purpose, our actions and our approach to doing business,” says Richard Olson, Toro chairman and CEO. “It is rooted in a genuine desire to help our customers solve their most important challenges in a sustainable way and extends to improving the rapidly changing world in which we live.”
Toro’s established Sustainability Endures initiative is comprised of four pillars — people, products, process and planning. Through the work of each pillar, the company has created performance goals to help drive change.
These newly established goals tackle diversity and the environment, such as reducing absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by at least 15% by fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2019.
Toro also coordinated employee immersion experiences to help support smallholder farmers in Honduras, Malawi and Nicaragua with sustainable drip irrigation and water storage solutions.
Looking ahead, the company has also aligned its priorities with six United Nations sustainable development goals to help address environmental and social issues globally, which range from clean water and sanitation to industry, innovation and infrastructure.
“We have established a roadmap to achieve our stated sustainability goals in support of our strategic priorities — accelerating profitable growth, achieving operational excellence and empowering our people,” says Olson. “We are excited to share our progress and the achievements that got us here today, as well as future aspirations along our sustainability journey.”
