Disney Scales Back DEI Initiatives in Latest SEC Filing
The removal of two programs reflects growing investor pressure and broader corporate shifts on diversity policies.
- Disney removed its 'Reimagine Tomorrow' and 'The Disney Look' programs from the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion section of its 2024 SEC filing.
- The 'Reimagine Tomorrow' program focused on amplifying underrepresented voices and achieving diverse representation in media and entertainment.
- The decision follows pressure from activist investors and comes as other major corporations, such as Meta and Walmart, reduce DEI efforts.
- Critics speculate the move could be a response to potential legal scrutiny or a shift in corporate priorities under changing political and economic pressures.
- Disney has faced backlash over its DEI initiatives in recent years, including controversies linked to leaked internal discussions and public boycotts.
