Amazon Removes Diversity and Inclusion References from Annual Report

The company has scaled back DEI programs and language amid broader corporate and political scrutiny of such initiatives.

Amazon's 2024 annual report no longer includes references to 'diversity and inclusion' in its 'Human Capital' section, a notable change from previous years.
The company has reduced DEI-related language in its public-facing policies and consolidated sections on equity and LGBTQ+ rights into a single paragraph.
Amazon recently informed employees it was reviewing and winding down certain diversity, equity, and inclusion programs deemed outdated.
This shift aligns with similar moves by other major tech companies, including Google and Meta, which have also scaled back DEI initiatives under external pressure.
The changes come as conservative groups and the Trump administration intensify efforts to challenge and investigate corporate DEI programs.
