From www.ibtimes.co.uk: (US context) Target has decided to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, a move seen as part of a wider trend among major corporations like Walmart, Meta, and Amazon to roll back similar programs due to escalating political and public pressure.

This shift follows President Trump’s January 2025 executive order aimed at eliminating DEI programs in the federal government, and in response to significant conservative criticism, particularly after a Supreme Court ruling against race-based affirmative action in 2023.

Other companies, such as Goldman Sachs and Costco, continue to uphold their diversity initiatives.
