COMMUNITYWith a focus on building vibrant communities, and preserving and promoting outdoor environments, the Toro Giving Program has built a legacy of community and industry support deeply rooted in our culture. Through energetic outreach and involvement, Toro shares its resources through grants, volunteerism, and product donations. Toro maintains ongoing partnerships in communities where our employ-ees live and work. Toro's leadership in the turf industry extends to support of nonprofit organizations such as The First Tee, the Envi-ronmental Institute for Golf, U.S. Soccer Foundation, and Baseball Tomorrow Fund.

From advanced work in electric, bio-fuel and propane technologies to our many water-saving irrigation products, we are committed to protecting the world's critical resources and delivering commercially viable solutions that yield environmental, performance and productiv-ity innovation to our customers.

Toro is committed to eliminating waste and increasing efficiencies in our operations. All worldwide manufacturing facilities recycle steel, aluminum, plastics and cardboard packaging. Within our paint sys-tems, we recycle water through a wastewater treatment system and reuse powder (paint) coating. Product components from suppliers are transported in reusable packaging, and many of our professional products are shipped in returnable steel crating to reduce wood pack-aging waste. And, among other initiatives, our investments in more advanced technologies allow us to reduce energy usage and improve overall quality and productivity.

As farmers around the world seek innovative ways to save water, energy and labor costs while increasing crop yields and quality, Toro helps them achieve superior results through the use of innovative high-quality micro-irrigation technology.

OUR MARKETS

Our products are used to maintain a vast number of public, private, municipal, and resort golf courses-including many of the world's top golf venues.

HOMEOWNERHomeowners want to spend more time relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. That is why customers turn to our many strong brands for all their turf and landscape maintenance needs. From zero-turn riders and walk power mowers to water-saving irrigation technologies, snow throwers, trimmers, and blower vacs-our products are rich with innovative features and serviced by experienced dealers.

PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORSFor the landscape and irrigation professional, our powerful and highly productive brands provide customers with the most innovative turf care machines and water management solutions.

SPORTS FIELDS & MUNICIPALWe know how tough it can be to keep turf healthy and safe for everyone from professional and college athletes to community sports teams. That also holds true for tax-supported municipalities with responsibility for maintaining parks and public green spaces. These turf professionals demand highly productive equipment to get the job done fast and irrigation technologies that water only where and when it is needed.
