Environmental Stewardship

We are committed to advancing environmental stewardship by reducing the impact of our operations and supporting a more sustainable future. Guided by Raymond's philosophy of continuous improvement, we focus our efforts on three key priorities that help conserve resources, reduce emissions, and strengthen environmental resilience:

  • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
  • Advancing circularity by extending product life, optimizing resource use, and minimizing waste
  • Conserving water and supporting biodiversity

Supporting Global Net Zero Ambitions

Our parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO), has established a goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions across its global operations by 2050. In 2024, TICO's emissions reduction targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), reinforcing its commitment to meaningful climate action. The Raymond Corporation supports this ambition by improving operational efficiency, advancing lower emission solutions, and reducing the environmental impact of our operations. Guided by The Raymond Corporation's philosophy of continuous improvement, we are helping build a more sustainable future for our customers, communities, and generations to come.
