REUTERS\/Steve Marcus<\/figcaption><p>TOKYO (Reuters) &#8211; Toyota Motor Corp\u2019s President Akio Toyoda said on Wednesday his company was disappointed by recent comments from Tokyo 2020 Olympics President Yoshiro Mori that were contrary to the values that the Japanese automaker supports.<\/p>\n<p>Toyota became a top level Olympic partner because it shared the values with \u201cthe spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which through sports aim to create a peaceful and an inclusive society without discrimination in which anyone can participate,\u201d Toyoda said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are disappointed by the recent comments from the President of TOCOG, which are contrary to the values that Toyota respects and supports,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The comment was read out by an executive at the company\u2019s earnings briefing and came after Mori incited anger at home and abroad with remarks last week that women talk too much, causing meetings to drag on.<\/p>\n<p>The executive, Operating Officer Jun Nagata, said the company issued Toyoda\u2019s message on Wednesday because it concluded it should not keep silent.<\/p>\n<p>Toyota is a worldwide Olympic sponsor.<\/p>\n<p>Other Olympic sponsors have also expressed their views, with Asahi Holdings saying they believed Mori\u2019s comments were \u201cdisappointing and inappropriate considering the spirit of gender equality espoused\u201d by the Games. An Eneos executive said on Wednesday the company \u201cdeplored the sexist remarks from a viewpoint of respect for human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-olympics-2020-toyota\/toyota-president-disappointed-by-comments-from-tokyo-2020-chief-mori-idUSKBN2AA0U3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota Motor Corporation, speaks at a news conference, where he announced Toyota&#8217;s plans to build a prototype city of [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":106723,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
