What TPCA has signed up to

In 1999, Toyota received - as the first automotive company ever - the United Nations Environment Programme's "Global 500 Award." Meanwhile, the results of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes note Toyota as the "leader" for socially responsible behavior within the automotive industry worldwide(3). Peugeot, a member of Peugeot Citroën Automobiles S.A. (PSA) was rated among the ten most socially responsible companies out of the world's 100 largest multinationals(4). The joint company PSA also signed the UN Global compact in March 2003 (5).

From the above it should be clear that both of the companies that form Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile Czech, s.r.o. (TPCA) benefit from a very good reputation in the area of corporate social responsibility. Both companies have well-developed CSR systems and codexes, and thus it is understandable that the Czech public too, might justifiably expect these be fulfilled, and that TPCA take a sensitive approach in handling any negative social impacts connected with project implementation and operation of the TPCA plant by Kolín.
