Summary
The second edition of the Leaderboard further entrenches Toyota’s reputation as the biggest climate laggard of the automotive industry. Not only do BEV sales continue to constitute just 1% of Toyota’s total vehicle sales, the automaker has not improved its climate lobbying performance – rated the worst of the auto industry by InfluenceMap – or its fossil-free and environmentally sustainable score in the Leaderboard of just 5%. Toyota needs to change track fast or risk sliding into irrelevance as the rest of the industry races towards a cleaner future.
Key Findings
- Discloses scope 3 supply chain emissions and has set a 2050 target to eliminate all life-cycle emissions.
- Scores zero points on all steel and aluminum indicators, and just 4% on the battery supply chain indicators, exhibiting an all-around failure to reduce emissions and other environmental impacts from these supply chains.
- Has a basic commitment to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and asks suppliers to apply human rights requirements to their own suppliers. But still fails to provide tangible evidence of concrete measures to realize this commitment.
- Scores less than 10% on the indicators on responsible transition mineral sourcing, Indigenous Peoples’ rights, and workers’ rights - lacking even basic commitments on these issues.
