The sentence makes a broad factual claim that all of these companies have substituted their DEI programs for MEI. That is contradicted by the companies' own materials.

• Toyota announced in July 2024 that it had published its 2024 Diversity + Inclusion Annual Report, describing this as part of the company's "ongoing commitment" to diversity and inclusion. Toyota's announcement also highlights employee groups, a Diversity Advisory Board, and inclusive-leadership training.
• Boeing likewise still publicly describes inclusion work. Boeing's current People & Culture page says the company "remains committed to creating a culture of inclusion" and says its 2024 sustainability report includes a "People & Inclusion" section. Separately, recent Boeing job postings state that applicants would join a company where "diversity, equity, and inclusion are shared values."

That means the article's blanket statement is false as written: at minimum, Toyota and Boeing do not fit the description of having substituted DEI programs for MEI. Some companies on the list may have scaled back or revised parts of DEI, but that is not the same thing as all of them replacing DEI with a defined "MEI" framework.
