Toyota announced it will stop sponsoring LGBTQ+ Pride parades in the US and reduce its focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. This decision follows criticism from right-wing commentator Robby Starbuck and a politicized debate on DEI in the corporate world. Toyota will no longer participate in cultural surveys or the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. The company will instead focus on events linked to STEM education and workforce development. Other companies like Ford and Harley-Davidson have also scaled back DEI commitments recently.
