Brussels, Belgium

EcoVadis has ranked Toyota Material Handling Europe (TMHE) among the world's top 2% of suppliers in terms of transparency on sustainability.
"Transparency, sustainable manufacturing and continuous improvement lie at the heart of everything we do at Toyota Material Handling. In fact, our commitment to sustainability goes back a long way and stems from our parent company's first Environmental Action Plan, conceived in 1993. Gaining the seal of approval from EcoVadis, therefore, tells us our approach is right," TMHE says.
EcoVadis claims to be the leading industry sustainability monitoring body in the world, with 24,000 companies across 145 industry sectors in 95 countries subscribing to its services.
Separately, TMHE's BT Levio P-series powered pallet truck has won the 2015 Red Dot Award. The series was previously awarded the iF Product Design Award 2015.
