Vision for Employees
The Vision for Employees is a policy aimed at ensuring that TOA people uphold compliance and conduct themselves as professionals at all times. The 13 Principles of TOA Taro (TOA Employee) spell out in detail the awareness each employee must have to strive to be such a TOA person.
Employee Ideals
Initiative / Team Spirit/ Challenge
These ideals mean that, regardless of qualifications, rank or number of years of service, all employees consider on their own what they can do to achieve our goals, trusting each other, working together and daring to tackle great challenges without fear of failure. This is our image of the TOA person, the ideal professional.The 13 Principles of TOA Taro

The Brand Project
It is now over 60 years since 1955, when TOA Oil built a refinery on a plot in Kawasaki and began operation of normal-pressure distillation equipment. In commemoration of that milestone, in November 2015 we launched the Brand Project.
What is the TOA Oil brand? It is the sum of the values we hold dear. It is the essence of TOA Oil. In this project, we are conducting deep research into the thoughts of all employees on the foundations on which all employees stand, the essence of TOA Oil: Our unshakeable, unwavering commitment to excellence. The purpose of the project is to inspire employees to actions that will realize the goal of making TOA Oil a stronger company.
Brand Proposition
The brand proposition is a way of thinking that is the foundation of the TOA Oil brand. It defines the vision, spirit, value to customers and code of conduct of TOA Oil.
