In 2023, UMW Toyota Motor plans to plant 12,000 trees, with a special emphasis on mangrove trees, recognised for their exceptional environmental benefits. This initiative represents a significant stride towards a greener future.
"At UMWT, we firmly believe in the transformative power of collective action. Being a true mobility company means our mission extends far beyond vehicles. It's about making a profound and meaningful impact in the lives of the people, ultimately forging a brighter, more accessible future for all.
