Cleanliness and Comfort is one of the three global objectives of TOTO’s “Global Environmental Vision.” To help us achieve this target, we have established the twin goals to “realize cleanliness and comfort throughout the world” and to “pursue ease of use for everyone.” Currently, we are working to deliver clean and comfortable toilets on a global basis.

TOTO CLEANOVATION
Realizing Cleanliness and Comfort throughout the World
To create clean and comfortable bathrooms for consumers, we have developed a range of clean technologies unique to TOTO. These clean technologies include EWATER+, CEFIONTECT, RIMLESS TORNADO FLUSH, and TOUCHLESS products. Based on TOTO CLEANOVATION, which combines the words “CLEAN” and “INNOVATION,” we will continue communicating our three fundamental clean innovation values to consumers around the world.

Today, with a focus on wellness, TOTO continues to develop new advanced technologies for WASHLET.
UNIVERSAL DESIGN
Pursuing Ease of Use for Everyone
Based on the Words of Our Founder, “Kindness must always come first,” we believe to create is to think about all people. To that end, we continue to evolve TOTO’s Universal Design product lines by closely observing people's lifestyles across the life's continuum and turning a sympathetic ear to their needs and concerns. In the 1960s, we began incorporating their physical challenges into our product development. In addition to developing and marketing products that make use of universal design, we also issue reports that survey the questions and concerns that people in wheelchairs, people with infants, people who are gender non-conforming, and other groups have when using restrooms outside their homes. In addition, we petition governmental agencies for public restrooms that take into account the unique needs and circumstances of different communities of people. TOTO’s public restroom proposals have been adopted in numerous locations.
