Toyota Financial Services (TFS) Named One of the Most Community-Minded Companies in the Nation

PLANO, Texas, June 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Financial Services (TFS) was once again honored to be named one of the most community-minded companies in the nation by Points of Light Foundation. This is the fifth consecutive year that TFS earned a spot on the Civic 50 list. The company continued its longstanding run as a leader in corporate social responsibility by consistently expanding its initiatives to support and empower communities.

The Civic 50 sets the standard for corporate community engagement nationwide and creates a roadmap for companies seeking to best use their time, talent, and resources to improve the quality of life in the communities where they do business. Winners are selected based on four dimensions of their national community engagement programs: Integration, Investment, Impact and Institutionalization.

TFS was recognized for its unwavering commitment to developing opportunities for young people and promoting financial empowerment. The company implemented an array of successful community initiatives which included funding and administering an extensive merit-based college scholarship program. TFS continued to maintain strong partnerships with Girl Scouts of the USA, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and Junior Achievement. A common theme in all these partnerships was the company's focus on mentoring young people to help them build crucial life skills. This was supported in large part by TFS' Community Ambassador program which provides opportunities for employees to volunteer while developing competencies in leadership, communication, and project management that will help them in the workplace. In 2018, a record 59% of TFS employees recorded over 20,000 volunteer hours.

"I've always been inspired by TFS team members and their dedication to getting involved and helping build a better world," said Mark Templin, president & CEO of TFS. "Giving back to our communities is part of our Toyota DNA, and we're honored and humbled that Points of Light Foundation has recognized our efforts."
