The company brags about supplier programs that discriminate against entire groups of business owners just for not fitting the DEI checklist.

Hertz is also all in on the woke climate agenda. The rental car company was one of the first to roll out an electric vehicle (EV) fleet, spending billions to add 100,000 Teslas in 2021. Just three years later, the company was reporting nearly half a billion dollars in losses tied to its EV “investment.”

The company’s financial losses haven’t stopped its climate agenda. Hertz promotes and advertises its carbon emissions through the “Green Traveler Collection” and partners with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), an organization recently investigated for misleading consumers and pushing a woke climate agenda.
