Toro outlines new sustainability goals through 2030

The Toro Company’s newly released 2025 Sustainability Impact Report details a new set of sustainability targets that include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, diverting waste from landfills and maintaining workplace safety benchmarks through 2030.

The company announced four new multiyear goals:

• Reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 15% from a fiscal 2025 baseline by 2030.

• Achieve a global zero-waste-to-landfill diversion rate of 90% by 2030.

• Maintain a total recordable incident rate at or below 1.0 through 2030.

• Incorporate sustainability checkpoints into new product development efforts each year.

The goals follow the completion of the company’s initial set of sustainability objectives, according to the report.

“We believe that sustainability is a shared journey—one that empowers our partners, customers and communities to thrive together,” said Richard M. Olson, chairman and chief executive officer of The Toro Company. “By advancing responsible practices and innovative solutions, we are committed to creating lasting positive impact for people and the planet, today and for generations to come.”

The report highlights several initiatives completed during fiscal 2025, including the addition of sustainability checkpoints within product development processes, expanded battery recycling efforts and continued development of battery-powered and autonomous equipment.

The company also reported progress in waste reduction and operational efficiency programs. According to the report, a North American zero-waste-to-landfill initiative diverted more than 18,000 tons of waste from landfills during the year. Other efforts included energy-efficiency projects, packaging reductions and expanded supplier compliance tracking.

Workplace safety and employee development also were included in the report. The company reported an approximately 57% reduction in its total recordable incident rate compared with a 2021 baseline. Additional initiatives included scholarship programs, internship opportunities and expanded on-site medical services at manufacturing facilities.
