Toro is committed to creating products with an approach focused on:
- Product safety
- Customer-centric innovation
- Water stewardship
- Energy efficiency and engine emissions reduction
- Waste reduction
Our sustainability efforts also extend to the golf courses we work with and organizations we partner with.
GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf
Founded in 2006, the GEO Foundation is an international, not-for-profit, nongovernmental organization dedicated entirely to helping the global golf industry establish leadership in sustainability. The foundation also delivers guidance, certification and communications for golf course management, new golf development and golf event staging.
Toro has partnered with the GEO Foundation since 2014, providing programmatic and general support, as well as funding for several initiatives. Toro helps contribute to the GEO Foundation’s OnCourse Certification Program, which helps develop environmentally sustainable strategies for golf courses and clubhouses, specifically centered around water efficiency strategies.
The world-renowned Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore is recognized globally for its commitment to the environment. The 36-hole facility has twice been named the “World’s Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility” and in March 2023 became the world’s first carbon-neutral golf club.
Toro’s long-standing relationship with Sentosa Golf Club includes powering the club’s operations with a range of hybrid and electric equipment, as well as battery-powered landscape tools — all focused on reducing emissions and promoting overall sustainability.
Toro has worked with St Andrews, the Home of Golf, since 1999. St Andrews’ seven golf courses currently use Toro® hybrid and all-electric equipment to help reduce emissions, as well as Toro Lynx® Central Control System to reduce water usage and create best-in-class turf conditions.
