1) Toyota will expand the “Guiding Principles at Toyota” and the “Toyota Code of Conduct” to its

of internal controls for Toyota. Toyota will also promote the “Guiding Principles at Toyota” and the
“Toyota Code of Conduct” through personnel exchanges.
2) Toyota will manage its subsidiaries in a comprehensive manner appropriate to their positioning by
clarifying the roles of the division responsible for the subsidiaries’ financing and management and the
roles of the division responsible for the subsidiaries’ business activities. Those divisions will confirm
the appropriateness and legality of the operations of the subsidiaries by exchanging information with
those subsidiaries, periodically and as needed.
(7) System concerning employees who assist the Corporate Auditors when required
Toyota will establish a Corporate Auditors Department and assign a number of full-time staff to support
this function.
(8) Independence of the employees described in the preceding item (7) from Directors
Any changes in personnel in the Corporate Auditors Department will require prior consent of the Board
of Corporate Auditors or a full-time Corporate Auditor selected by the Board of Corporate Auditors.
(9) System for Directors and employees to report to Corporate Auditors, and other related systems
1) Directors, from time to time, will properly report to the Corporate Auditors any major business operations
through the divisions in charge. If any fact that may cause significant damage to the Company is
discovered, they will report the matter to the Corporate Auditors immediately.

Auditors on the business upon requests by the Corporate Auditors, periodically and as needed.

Company documents, and make opportunities to exchange information between the Corporate Auditors
and Accounting Auditor periodically and as needed, as well as appoint external experts.
Basic Policy and Preparation towards the Elimination of Antisocial Forces
(1) Establishment of divisions overseeing measures against antisocial forces and posts in charge of
preventing undue claims
Toyota established divisions that oversee measures against antisocial forces (“Divisions Overseeing
Measures Against Antisocial Forces”) in its major offices as well as assigned persons in charge of
preventing undue claims. Toyota also established a system whereby undue claims, organized violence
and criminal activities conducted by antisocial forces are immediately reported to and consulted with
Divisions Overseeing Measures Against Antisocial Forces.
(2) Liaising with specialist organizations
Toyota has been strengthening its liaison with specialist organizations by joining liaison committees
organized by specialists such as the police. It has also been receiving guidance on measures to be
taken against antisocial forces from such committees.
(3) Collecting and managing information concerning antisocial forces
By liaising with experts and the police, Divisions Overseeing Measures Against Antisocial Forces share
up-to-date information on antisocial forces and utilize such information to call Toyota’s employees’
attention to antisocial forces.
(4) Preparation of manuals
Toyota compiles cases concerning measures against antisocial forces and distributes them to each
department within Toyota.
(5) Training activities
Toyota promotes training activities to prevent damages caused by antisocial forces by sharing information
on antisocial forces within the company as well as holding lectures at Toyota and its group companies.
