Toyota says that it is reevaluating its anti-climate lobbying practices as it promotes carbon neutrality goals after receiving pressure from investors.

We have often discussed how Toyota has been a laggard when it comes to all-electric vehicles as the Japanese automaker has been more heavily investing in hybrids and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

But the automaker has even gone further by using its lobbying power to promote anti-climate policies.

Toyota was famously one of the few automakers who sided with the Trump Administration in their legal fight against California trying to impose their own stricter emission regulations.

The Japanese didn’t stop there, and more recently, it warned the new US federal government against promoting all-electric vehicles.

Investerare och aktieägare gillar inte hur Toyota och deras företagsledning aktivt motarbetar elbilar och klimatfrågor, och vill att de överväger att ändra sig i deras lobbyverksamhet (som de lägger ansenliga resurser på).
