Amazon Reduces Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives

News summary

Amazon has announced a reduction in its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, joining other major corporations like Meta and Microsoft in scaling back their commitments in this area. An internal memo from Candi Castleberry, VP of inclusive experiences, revealed that the company is winding down outdated programs and shifting focus to those with proven success. This decision comes amidst a changing political climate, as companies prepare for a presidential administration that may scrutinize DEI efforts. Notably, Amazon has removed specific mentions of support for Black and LGBTQ+ individuals from its public policy statements, reflecting a broader trend among Fortune 500 companies following the Supreme Court's recent decisions regarding affirmative action. Employees have expressed concern over these changes, indicating a potential backlash within the company. The consolidation of programs is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
