TOTO, a global leader in sustainable manufacturing and green business practices,
has been recognized by the Brookings Institution as the leader in clean jobs creation
in the Water Efficient Products sector for the greater Atlanta area.  According 
to Brookings’ recent report entitled, _Sizing the Clean Economy:  A National and
Regional Green Jobs Assessment_, the “’green’ or ‘clean’ or low-carbon economy” 
is defined as “that sector of the economy that produces goods and services with 
an environmental benefit.”  The coming Clean Economy, Brookings maintains, will 
define America’s low carbon future and provide employment opportunities for workers
at all levels of the income and skills, making it an important element in America’s
emerging economy.

“We are honored that our work to optimize green manufacturing protocols and provide
jobs for the Clean Economy has been recognized by the esteemed Brookings Institution,”
said Daijirio Nogata, President.  “Since our founding in 1917, protecting the global
environment by conserving its finite natural resources has been our abiding mission.
Growing our Clean Economy workforce will continue to be a top priority.”

TOTO is pleased to add the Brookings Institution’s recognition as a Clean Economy
leader to the numerous awards and recognitions it has received for its leadership
in environmental sustainability, green business practices, and clean (or green) 
jobs creation. 

At the national level, the Environmental Protection Agency honored TOTO with its
prestigious Water Efficiency Leader Award for outstanding leadership and innovation
in water-efficient product development, sustainable manufacturing processes, and
water conservation advocacy. 

At the state level, former Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue honored TOTO with the “
Conserve Georgia Water Conservation Award” for its development of high-efficiency
plumbing fixtures, efficiency in its Morrow manufacturing plant, and educational
programs that stress the importance of water conservation and how to achieve it.

At the local level, Mayor Kasim Reed honored TOTO with the City of Atlanta’s “Phoenix
Award” for its green jobs creation, sustainable operations, and leadership in water
efficiency technology.  Most recently, the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeepers honored
TOTO as a “Best in Class – Business” for developing popular and affordable high-
efficiency plumbing products; partnering with other businesses, including the United
Parcel Service, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and Grand Hyatt
Atlanta, Buckhead, to generate significant water and energy savings; and developing
green business practices that reflect a deep commitment to conservation and sustainability.
