McDonald's Scales Back Diversity Initiatives Following Supreme Court Ruling
McDonald's reduces DEI efforts in response to Supreme Court decision, renaming diversity team and ending specific goals.
Overview
In response to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling limiting affirmative action, McDonald's announced a rollback of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Key changes include discontinuing specific diversity goals, retiring supplier DEI pledges, and renaming its diversity team to the Global Inclusion Team. CEO Chris Kempczinski emphasized ongoing commitment to inclusion as a business advantage, citing that 30% of U.S. leaders come from underrepresented groups. This shift aligns McDonald's with other major corporations re-evaluating their DEI policies, despite competitors like Costco affirming their ongoing commitments to diversity.
