Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We’re committed to making our organisation work for everyone.
We believe that people do their best work when they feel safe, engaged, and valued. That’s why we do our best to be an inclusive and equitable organisation that supports and inspires everyone who works here. By embracing diversity and rejecting discrimination, we create a positive work environment that helps us deliver the highest standards of service to our customers. 

Everybody matters at Toyota

At Toyota, we embrace the unique experiences, perspectives, and identities that each person brings. Your gender identity or expression, your sexual orientation, your cultural background or nationality, your religion or belief system, your age, your disability status, and your physical or mental abilities; all shape who you are. 

Whoever you are, and whatever makes you uniquely you, your individuality enriches our organisation and strengthens Toyota. Your differences are a powerful asset that helps us reflect the society we serve. 

Our DE&I journey

From providing inclusion training to developing more inclusive policies, we’re continually working towards making our European workplaces more inclusive and accessible. 

We also celebrate all kinds of events like International Women’s Day, Pride Month, and International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.   

Our employee networks

We believe every voice matters. Our employee-led networks are a vital part of our diverse workforce, championing underrepresented groups and their allies. They raise awareness through events and activities and provide valuable input on DE&I policies. These welcoming, safe spaces are open to anyone who wants to join, learn, or contribute. 

  • Women’s network

    Inspiring and empowering Toyota women to rise together, unleash their full potential, and drive their career forward.  

  •

    LGBTIQ+ network

    Pride means the freedom to express who you are, and confidently show up as your authentic self. We focus on education, awareness raising and allyship building. 

  •

    Diverse abilities network

    We strive to make Toyota the most physically and digitally accessible company for employees with visible or invisible disabilities. 

  •

    Cultural diversity network

    We promote a sense of community among employees from different cultural backgrounds, languages, ethnicities, religions and faiths. 

  •

    Multi-generations network

    We aim to embrace the collective strength of different generations, and facilitate inter-generational dialogue and knowledge sharing.
