Amazon scrubs DEI mention from its annual report


Amazon has removed any references to diversity and inclusion from its most recent annual report.

The previous report read, "As we strive to be Earth's best employer, we focus on investment and innovation, inclusion and diversity, safety, and engagement to hire and develop the best talent." Candi Castleberry, Amazon's vice president of inclusive experiences and technology, told employees in a December memo that the company was in the process of "winding down outdated programs and materials" as part of a broader review of hundreds of initiatives. Google scrapped language around DEI goals in its annual report, and Meta last month announced it was retreating from internal programs designed to increase its hiring of diverse candidates.
