E058: Toyota and the Earth Charter

December 22, 2019

In this podcast, I re-read a recent post I made about the Earth Charter written by Toyota in 1992, which...

"Manufacturers in every industry have a big responsibility to fulfill in ensuring a sound environment for future generations. Along with preventing pollution and other overt damage to the environment, they need to conserve resources by using material and energy efficiently. The Toyota Production System is a framework for conserving resources by eliminating waste. People who participate in the system learn to identify expenditures of material, effort, and time that do not generate value for customers."
- Toyota Production System booklet, 1998
