Ford Motor has made a significant change in its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program, including dropping out of an LGBTQ advocacy group's ranking system, alongside other U.S. companies.
In a memo, CEO Jim Farley expressed that while understanding diverse beliefs among employees and customers, the company aims to focus on employee and customer care rather than engaging in polarizing public issues.
Many corporations, including Lowe's and JPMorgan Chase, have redefined their DEI policies recently under pressure from conservative groups and in light of public scrutiny over representation.
The shift in corporate DEI policies follows a Supreme Court ruling nullifying affirmative action in university admissions, intensifying the debate around diversity initiatives in workplaces.
