PLANO,
Texas, May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fair360,
formerly DiversityInc, has named Toyota North America* one of its
2024 Top 50 Companies, ranking fourth among the 160 companies
participating in the survey. Toyota has maintained its position for
the third year in a row and continues to be the only automotive
manufacturer ranked in the Top 10.
"Everyone at Toyota plays a role in creating an inclusive
culture where people belong and can contribute to their fullest
potential," said Tellis Bethel,
chief diversity officer and group vice president of social
innovation, Toyota Motor North America. "Representation from a
variety of cultural backgrounds unlocks innovation, as well as
opportunity for an equitable future. Together, we can create
limitless possibilities for all."
The Fair360 Top 50 survey has been the external validator for
large U.S. employers that model fairness in their talent
strategies, workplace and supplier diversity practices and
philanthropic engagement since 2001.
Fair360 rankings are empirically driven, based on
company-submitted data in six key areas: Leadership Accountability,
Human Capital Diversity Metrics, Talent Programs, Workforce
Practices, Supplier Diversity and Philanthropy.
Toyota also received special recognition in the following
areas:
- No. 2 Top Company for Black Executives
- No. 2 Top Company for LGBTQ Employees
- No. 3 Top Company for Philanthropy
- No. 4 Top Company for Environmental, Social &
Governance
- No. 5 Top Company for Asian American Executives

- No. 5 Top Company for Board of Directors
- No. 6 Top Company for Latino Executives
- No. 11 Top Company for Sponsorship
- No. 14 Top Company for Supplier Fairness
- No. 17 Top Company for Mentoring
Toyota team members helped the organization achieve the movement
up to #3 for Philanthropy through record levels of community
involvement, monetary and in-kind donations. In 2023, nearly 50,000
volunteer hours were logged with 995 organizations across the US by
team members. This is an increase of nearly 26% over the year prior
for volunteer hours and nearly 13% increase in the number of
organizations helped. This highlights the company culture of
prioritizing connections within the community where team members
live and work.
