McDonald’s is revising its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, influenced by the US Supreme Court’s ruling against affirmative action.
The fast-food chain will discontinue specific diversity goals for senior leadership and retire its DEI supplier training programs.
McDonald’s refocused its team as the Global Inclusion Team, claiming this better aligns with its business values.
The decision reflects a broader trend among companies such as Walmart and Ford also scaling back DEI initiatives amid growing conservative opposition.
Critics of DEI programs argue for equal opportunities without regard to race, gender, or sexual orientation, challenging corporate practices aimed at marginalised groups.
