Goldman Sachs and Deloitte roll back diversity initiatives amid US political pressure
Briefly

Goldman Sachs and Deloitte have recently scaled back their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies due to increasing political pressures, particularly related to the anti-DEI stance of former President Trump. Goldman Sachs revoked its requirement for public companies to include a board member from an underrepresented background, attributing this to legal shifts. Similarly, Deloitte has instructed employees on government contracts to remove pronouns from email signatures and is discontinuing its DEI program. These moves illustrate a trend among companies responding to conservative scrutiny and changing government policies towards diversity efforts.
