Impact

Measure what changed.

Toyota Empowerment Trust is designed around outcomes, not activity.

Our impact framework follows three questions:

Are more young people progressing into meaningful STEM pathways?

Are suppliers becoming cleaner and more energy resilient?

Are emerging suppliers becoming more mature and responsible businesses?

The most established of the three pillars, and the only one with outcomes measured across a full cohort.

  • 01

    2 659+ learners reached since inception.

  • 02

    1 504 learners reached in 2026.

  • 03

    79.6% of learners in the reported study cohort achieving 60%+ in mathematics after intervention.

  • 04

    69.0% of learners in the reported science cohort achieving 60%+.

  • 05

    136 young people in structured Toyota-linked STEM pathways.

  • 06

    8 of 10 learners in the first TSAM bursary cohort who progressed into full-time Toyota employment.

Early-stage programme

The Supplier Growth Accelerator is being piloted with founder-led suppliers.

The impact model will track progress across:

  • supplier maturity
  • execution
  • management accountability
  • reporting quality
  • data readiness
  • ESG readiness
  • selected business-performance indicators

Environmental
  • Renewable capacity installed
  • Clean electricity generated
  • Supplier energy savings
  • CO₂e avoided
Governance
  • Suppliers in development
  • Supplier maturity improvement

Impact is a journey

Some results can be measured immediately.

Others take years.

A solar installation starts generating electricity when commissioned.

A Grade 10 learner may take several years to progress through school, tertiary education and into employment.

A founder-led business may require sustained support before management routines become embedded.

Toyota Empowerment Trust is therefore designed to measure both what happened now, and what changed over time.
