Just by looking at the array of news that we cover on our Toyota blog, it's easy to see that the hottest topics of discussion are Toyota's hybrid offerings and green initiatives. This is why it seems only natural that for the third consecutive year, Toyota was named the leader of Interbrand's Top 50 Best Global Green Brands.

Automakers make up an impressive 50 percent of the top ten brands on the list, but Toyota once again proved its dominance as a leader of hybrid technology. Interbrand forms the list based on a company's environmental initiatives and the perceptions developed by consumers as a result. Based on what Toyota has to offer in these areas, those who were surveyed supplied positive feedback towards the brand.

In terms of Toyota's success in driving sustainability and green practices, it has made great progress at the Toyota Ecoful Town located in Toyota City, Japan. Here the automaker has created a low carbon environment where people are encouraged to use alternative modes of transportation.

Toyota has also earned a lot of time in the spotlight for its offering of eco-friendly vehicles within the new Toyota lineup. In 2012 alone, over 2.9 million Prius models were sold globally. The Prius has been around for about ten years now, and continues to grow in popularity as drivers pursue more fuel efficient options.
