As Toyota strives to lead a transition to sustainable mobility, vehicles such as the Prius Plug-in Hybrid - on display as part of Stratford Toyota's grand opening celebration - will play an important role. But beyond sustainable mobility alone, Toyota also recognizes the need to achieve harmony between industry and the environment - Canadian Toyota dealerships like Stratford Toyota are part of these efforts. Toyota Canada has also achieved ISO 14001 certification across facilities operating in Canada, diverting 91% of waste from landfill at their head office facility. Toyota Canada has also partnered with like-minded organizations such as Earth Day Canada and Evergreen to advance corporate green initiatives. In addition, Toyota customers will find environmentally responsible Toyota Touch detailing products and services at participating dealerships and a hybrid battery disposal program.

"We're proud to join the community of Stratford, and to do so while meeting LEED Gold Certification requirements is a great accomplishment for us," says John Strickland, Dealer Principal of Stratford Toyota. "Environmental leadership is a key pillar of Toyota's philosophy, and Stratford Toyota is committed to contributing to a better future for our customers."

"At Toyota, commitment to the environment is an integral part of our DNA, and the driving force behind our sustainable mobility initiatives and corporate and dealership operations nationwide," said Stephen Beatty, Managing Director and Chief Environmental Officer at Toyota Canada. "As the first Canadian automotive dealership ever awarded LEED Gold Certification, and the first LEED Certified Toyota dealership in Canada, we congratulate Stratford Toyota on their achievements and wish them every success within the community."

Stratford Toyota offers a wide selection of Toyota vehicles and exceptional customer service. Its service department features factory-trained technicians and Genuine Toyota parts and accessories. Stratford Toyota has friendly, knowledgeable staff to help customers choose the best vehicle for them - whether it's a Toyota Prius hybrid, or a dependable work vehicle like the Toyota Tundra that offers more power using less fuel - and to provide top quality service.
