Crows and Toyota extend their partnership |

12/8/2008
The Adelaide Football Club recently announced the completion of a three-year extension of its major partnership agreement with the Toyota Motor Corporation and South Australian Toyota Dealers to the end of the 2011 Toyota AFL Season.
President and CEO of Toyota Australia Mr Max Yasuda was in Adelaide to sign the extension of the agreement.
Toyota has been with the club since day one, and this contract extension takes the partnership to 21 years - making it one of the most enduring in Australian sport. Some key features of the contract extension are the commitment of both organisations to work together in the quest to have the Adelaide Football Club become more environmentally friendly and, eventually, carbon-neutral.
Toyota, already world-renowned for its corporate social responsibility, has agreed to add some of its hybrid Toyota Prius models to the club's fleet in 2009 and the new Australian-made hybrid Camry from 2010.
In addition the club actively partnered with Toyota in the recent Toyota-sponsored National Tree Day, when the entire Camry Crows squad attended Kilkenny Primary School to plant 100 trees with the school's students.
And finally, Toyota and the SA Toyota dealers will use a room in the new training facility from 2010 to entertain valued clients on matchdays. Several key features of the new training facility will also be environmentally friendly.
"Toyota has had some amazing success recently with new vehicle sales topping 200,000 in Australia for the past four years," Adelaide Crows CEO Steven Trigg said.
"However, the fact that Toyota became the number one vehicle seller in South Australia for the first time ever in 2007 was a particularly pleasing statistic for our club.
"When we started our association with Toyota in 1991 it was ranked number four in new vehicle sales in South Australia. To have partnered Toyota for 18 years and been a small part of their rise to number one in SA has been something that we at the Adelaide Football Club are very proud of.
"Toyota's long-term commitment to our club has been the cornerstone of our strength both on and off the field.
"Both companies are winners in their respective fields and uncompromising in their pursuit of excellence through innovation and hard work," he said. |
