PepsiCo Inc. is the latest company to withdraw from its
diversity, equity and inclusion programs, Bloomberg reports.
Pepsi
will abandon workforce hiring and representation targets and no longer have a
Chief DEI Officer, while expanding its supplier diversity program to include
all small businesses, according to a memo from CEO Ramon Laguarta.
Laguarta
said PepsiCo has been refining its DEI approach over the past year “to ensure
it is aligned with our long-term business strategy, responsive to local
markets, and focused on the principles that drive sustainable growth.”
Anti-DEI
activist Robby Starbuck posted the contents of the memo on social media
Thursday, and a PepsiCo spokesperson confirmed the memo from Laguarta.
Dozens
of iconic U.S. flagship companies, including Amazon.com and Walmart Inc., have
scaled back or ended their DEI programs in recent months, especially since
President Donald Trump took office one month ago and began purging DEI from the
federal government.
Conservative
activists, including Starbuck, have pushed back against DEI initiatives,
calling them biased and racist. The Trump administration has threatened to
pursue criminal investigations against companies with “illegal” DEI.
