Corporate Leadership Award Presented To Toyota

Dec 1, 2015

Earlier this year, Toyota Motor Sales (TMS) U.S.A., Inc. became the only automaker to be included on the Top 50 list for Diversity Inc. which recognized corporations dedicated to promoting diversity and equality in the workplace. Now, the company has been recognized yet again, this time from the National Urban League.

The National Urban League presented Toyota with the Corporate Leadership Award at their 59th annual National Urban League Equal Opportunity Dinner in recognition of the corporation’s strong commitment to diversity, equality, and economic empowerment. Each year this award is presented to a company, organization, or individual who has made a strong commitment to encouraging and supporting each of these core principals.

“On behalf of Toyota’s 30,000 U.S. team members, it’s truly an honor to receive the Corporate Leadership Award from the National Urban League,” said Jim Colon, vice president, African American Business Strategy, TMS. “Our commitment to the multicultural community is demonstrated through our workforce, suppliers, dealers, strategic partners, advertising, philanthropic efforts and the Diversity Advisory Board. As the #1 automaker and brand of choice for African Americans, Latinos and Asians, this prestigious award motivates us to pursue even higher goals in the future.”
