A Way of Being
BUILDING A BETTER TOYOTA, JUST BY BEING US
At Toyota, D+I is a fundamental part of everything we do. Guided by the Toyota Way, core values remind us we're all connected, joined by the "+." We Act for Others, proactively seeing from diverse perspectives to drive an equitable workplace. We embrace Respect for People to ensure an environment where all fee welcome, safe, and heard. We are only stronger when we come together.
We use the “+” in D+I because plus means more. Plus joins, plus adds, plus expands. Plus signals the qualities, experiences, and backgrounds we bring to Toyota each day just by being ourselves, and the strength created when we come together as One Toyota. Plus is limitless.
The challenges of COVID-19, the economic recession, and social reckoning didn’t magically dissipate in 2021. Yet we leaned into resilience and came together with creative thinking to continue to push boundaries and embrace limitless possibilities.
That is what D+I means at Toyota. It’s all of us bringing our whole selves to work every day in an environment where we feel seen, respected, supported, and able to do our best work—so that together we can achieve big things.
Powered by the plus, we celebrate today’s stories and plan a limitless tomorrow.
“Diversity and inclusion speaks to the heart of the Toyota Way and respect for people. D+I is good for business, and essential for our true mission of creating happiness for all. We believe an equitable society is a healthy society.”
