We have to admit: We like perfect scores, especially when it’s for a national benchmarking survey establishing and implementing policies that allow Toyota team members to bring their full, authentic selves to work every day.

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Corporate Equality Index (CEI) tracks just that. To earn this top spot, we’ve established and practiced Continuous Improvement on implementing comprehensive policies, benefits, and practices that ensure greater equality for LGBTQ+ team members and their families.

With Respect for People as our North Star, Toyota continues to ensure that equality is and will always be a priority. We’ve scored 100% on the HRC CEI for 14 consecutive years. And the bar is always rising, with year-over-year growth across every measurement of the survey.

The CEI rating criteria have four key pillars:

• Nondiscrimination policies across business entities
• Equitable benefits for LGBTQ workers and their families
• Supporting an inclusive culture
• Corporate social responsibility

We’d like to think this recognition is a reminder that we’re on the right track. Progress is a journey, one that takes all of us. Toyota will always strive to be the most inclusive mobility company in the world.
