In a statement made at the announcement, President Akio Toyoda remarked, “We at Toyota share the IPC’s commitment to help create a society where we all have access to the same opportunities. Sir Philip has noted the importance of mobility in promoting social participation for people with an impairment. We don’t want mobility be an obstacle, but rather an opportunity for people to achieve their dreams. At the most difficult times, sports can offer hope and purpose and inspire us all to never give up. And sport has the power to unify us all. Through the Paralympic Games, we want to make the power of mobility and the power of sport available to all.”
