Paramount Scales Back DEI Policies Following Trump Administration Mandates

The media company joins a growing list of corporations reducing diversity initiatives in response to federal directives and legal pressures.

Paramount Global announced it will no longer set hiring targets based on race, ethnicity, sex, or gender, citing compliance with Trump administration mandates.
The company has ceased collecting diversity-related data for U.S. job applicants except in legally required markets and adjusted its employee incentive metrics away from DEI goals.
Paramount's revised policies reflect broader corporate trends as numerous companies roll back diversity programs under legal and political scrutiny.
Trump's executive orders and federal mandates have applied pressure on both public and private sectors to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
Despite policy changes, Paramount stated its commitment to fostering an inclusive culture and attracting talent from diverse backgrounds.
