Company Climbs Two Spots over Last Year and
Remains Sole Automaker on List
DiversityInc named Toyota one of its Top 50 Companies for
Diversity® in 2015, marking the company’s ninth appearance on the
list since 2006. Toyota, the only automaker in the Top 50, placed
at number 36 of over 1,600 companies who took the DiversityInc
survey this year. Toyota moved up two spots over 2014, reflecting
strong corporate diversity and inclusion initiatives, such as
increased participation in cross-cultural mentoring programs and
employee resource groups.
“Our company’s bedrock principles of respect for people and
continuous improvement create a culture of collaboration and
inclusion that gives a voice to every team member and embraces
diversity,” said Simon Nagata, Executive Vice President and Chief
Administrative Officer, Toyota Motor North America (TMNA). “We are
proud to be a DiversityInc Top 50 Company for Diversity, even as we
are deepening our commitment to being a D&I leader in a
fast-changing marketplace.”
Now in its sixteenth year, the DiversityInc list recognizes
businesses for their ongoing commitments to diversity in four
primary areas: Talent Pipeline, Equitable Talent Development,
CEO/Leadership Commitment and Supplier Diversity.
Previously, Toyota was honored as the “Top Company for Employee
Engagement” by DiversityInc in October 2013. It has also received
recognition as a Top 10 Company for LGBT Employees.
