What can Toyota dealerships offer ECO-UNESCO Clubs?

Toyota Ireland’s network of dealerships can provide support to the ECO-UNESCO Clubs in Action. Each Club applying for a seed grant must contact their local dealership to present their project proposal and invite the dealership to participate in the activity. This provides an opportunity for Toyota dealerships to support a local initiative that aims to increase environmental awareness.
The following are some of the ways that your local Toyota dealership may support your Club in Action:

• Benefit from the resources and skills of Toyota staff
• Assistance with promotion of the project
• Training and knowledge transfer
• Facilitating events in the dealership showroom
• Employees acting as volunteers on an action day
