To creating stronger communities. And helping New Zealand shine.
We’re dedicated to New Zealand communities via a variety of partnerships that help Aotearoa in lots of different ways. From Toyota Store initiatives to large scale sponsorships that get Kiwi kids moving, supporting sports that enthral the nation, and helping Kiwi businesses be more sustainable. We’re proud to play a part in bringing New Zealand together and putting our amazing little country on the map.
Sanitarium Weet-BixTM Kids TRYathlon
We’re passionate about mobility. And inspiring Kiwi kids to get moving. That’s why Toyota has been a Platinum sponsor of the Sanitarium Weet-BixTM Kids TRYathlon since 2009. It’s open to kids of all sporting abilities. Participants swim, cycle, and run their way around age-appropriate courses. Everyone who takes part gets a medal, encouraging young New Zealanders to get stuck in and give it a go. It also helps more young people stay active, and live healthier, happier lives. We’re excited to help the generations of tomorrow get a head-start in life.
Emirates Team New Zealand
Starting in 1992, this long-standing partnership is all about incredible innovation and boundary-pushing technology. As well as captivating the nation and lifting everyone’s spirits. Together, we’ve continued to help push the sport of sailing forward to places no one could have ever dreamed of. From the invention of foiling (and flying) boats in 2012 to the extraordinary cycle powered AC50 catamaran of 2017. We’re excited to be part of something so fast-moving and futuristic. It’s impossible to imagine what the team might do next.
The Olympics and Paralympics
We became the Official Mobility Sponsor of the International Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2015, marking a big step up in our commitment to mobility. This partnership is all about proving that anything is possible. Some of our incredible New Zealand athletes include Paralympian swimmer Cameron Leslie, Olympian weight lifter David Liti and Paralympian cyclist Nicole Murray. Imagine what our amazing athletes could achieve at the next Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Manfeild Park
We're proud to drive a partnership with motorsport at its heart. Manfeild Park is located in the Manawatu district. It’s one of the longest tracks in the Southern hemisphere, and has an international reputation. This inspiring spot plays a big part in the local community and brings racing enthusiasts together. It’s the kind of place where tomorrow's legends are made.
Toyota Optimist National Championships
We've supported this grass-roots partnership since 2005. Optimists are small sailboats for kids under 16. Our support enables local yacht clubs to host world-class events. Giving young sailors the chance to experience a real racing environment and learn from the best. Ultimately, inspiring and shaping the next generation of Kiwi sailors.
