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.
