Wells Fargo discretely deleted its DEI page detailing a long history of diversity and inclusion work dating back to the 1800s

"Then, at the end of May, Wells Fargo's DEI landing page, sub-page, and related content disappeared from its website. While the company had used to display openly text about advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, touting its annual DEI report, racial equity assessment and pay equity analysis, that information has no longer appeared on its website; HR Brew recovered the deleted information through the Wayback Machine archival site."

"The site also previously shared information on its DEI councils that were developed to "support our lines of business and international leaders to help implement programs and initiatives," but the company did not respond when asked if the councils still exist. Wells Fargo's employee resource networks (often referred to as ERGs) appear to be active and information on them is still available."

"Wells Fargo appears to have quietly rebranded its public-facing DEI language earlier this summer, completely eliminating all diversity language, HR Brew found while comparing the current version of the company's site to a previous version, recovered through an archival site. The company's website now refers to the program as "inclusion and accessibility" and features a host of other changes. In February, Wells Fargo said it would no longer require hiring managers to consider a diverse slate of candidates for upper-level positions."

Wells Fargo rebranded its public-facing DEI language to "inclusion and accessibility," removing explicit diversity wording from its website. The company removed a longstanding historical diversity and inclusion section and later deleted DEI landing pages, sub-pages, and related content. Previously published materials such as an annual DEI report, racial equity assessment, and pay equity analysis no longer appear publicly but were recovered via the Wayback Machine. In February, the company stopped requiring hiring managers to consider diverse slates for upper-level roles. The status of DEI councils is unclear, while employee resource networks remain active online.
