Part 5/10:
Toyota's chairman, Akio Toyoda, is gradually regaining support from investors after several years of governance concerns. Following controversies such as the false certification of vehicles with the Japanese government and criticism over the company's slow transition to electric vehicles (EVs), shareholder approval for Toyoda dropped from 96% to 72% in recent years. However, prominent investment firms ISS and Glass Lewis are now endorsing his reappointment for the upcoming annual meeting, citing Toyota's leading profit margins and quality ratings within the full-line automaker sector.
