March Speaker Summary

Our speaker on March 3 was Cameron (Cam) Brimelow, Manager of Sustainability at Toyota Australia. Cam told us that he started as the Studio Engineering Manager in the Design Studio at Toyota in 2006 and had spent time as the Operations Manager and Engineering Manager for Prototyping within Product Design before taking up his present position.

The aim of the Social Impact team at Toyota is to use 1% of the company’s pre-tax profit to make a meaningful impact on the Australian community. It supports over 80 different organisations in different forms using monies from a Trust holding $32 million dollars. Using the engineering and other resources of the company it has produced a wide range of products to assist the disadvantaged in our society, working closely with charitable organisations such as The Smith Family.

Cam told a story of the wonderful and heartwarming work being quietly done by Toyota. He held his audience spellbound and the interest generated was evidenced by the questions asked and the enthusiastic applause at the conclusion of his presentation.
