Amazon is reevaluating its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. The company has announced it will be making changes to its representation and inclusion efforts, focusing on programs with proven outcomes.
Amazon’s spokesperson stated that the company updates its “Our Positions” page to reflect changes in its programs. The company has recently removed sections on Equity for Black people and LGBTQ+ rights from this page.
Amazon follows a trend of companies scaling back DEI initiatives. However, Amazon’s approach has been more subtle compared to other companies like Meta, which recently announced major changes to its DEI policies.
