Amazon
said it is halting some of its diversity and inclusion initiatives, joining
a growing list of major corporations that have made similar moves in the face
of increasing public and legal scrutiny.
In a Dec. 16 internal note to staffers that was obtained by CNBC, Candi
Castleberry, Amazon’s VP of inclusive experiences and technology, said the
company was in the process of “winding down outdated programs and materials
” as part of a broader review of hundreds of initiatives.
“Rather than have individual groups build programs, we are focusing on
programs with proven outcomes — and we also aim to foster a more truly
inclusive culture,” Castleberry wrote in the note, which was first reported
by Bloomberg.
Castleberry’s memo doesn’t say which programs the company is dropping as a
result of its review. The company typically releases annual data on the
racial and gender makeup of its workforce, and it also operates Black,
LGBTQ+, indigenous and veteran employee resource groups, among others.
In 2020, Amazon set a goal of doubling the number of Black employees in vice
president and director roles. It announced the same goal in 2021 and also
pledged to hire 30% more Black employees for product manager, engineer and
other corporate roles.
Meta on Friday made a similar retreat from its diversity, equity and
inclusion initiatives. The social media company said it’s ending its
approach of considering qualified candidates from underrepresented groups for
open roles and its equity and inclusion training programs. The decision drew
backlash from Meta employees, including one staffer who wrote, “If you don’
t stand by your principles when things get difficult, they aren’t values.
They’re hobbies.”
Other companies, including McDonald’s, Walmart and Ford
, have also made changes to their DEI initiatives in recent months. Rising
conservative backlash and the Supreme Court’s ruling against affirmative
action in 2023 spurred many corporations to alter or discontinue their DEI
programs.
Amazon, which is the nation’s second-largest private employer behind
Walmart, also recently made changes to its “Our Positions” webpage, which
lays out the company’s stance on a variety of policy issues. Previously,
there were separate sections dedicated to “Equity for Black people,” “
Diversity, equity and inclusion” and “LGBTQ+ rights,” according to records
from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.
The current webpage has streamlined those sections into a single paragraph.
The section says that Amazon believes in creating a diverse and inclusive
company and that inequitable treatment of anyone is unacceptable. The
Information earlier reported the changes.
Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel told CNBC in a statement: “We update this
page from time to time to ensure that it reflects updates we’ve made to
various programs and positions.”
Read the full memo from Amazon’s Castleberry:
Team,
As we head toward the end of the year, I want to give another update on the
work we’ve been doing around representation and inclusion.
As a large, global company that operates in different countries and
industries, we serve hundreds of millions of customers from a range of
backgrounds and globally diverse communities. To serve them effectively, we
need millions of employees and partners that reflect our customers and
communities. We strive to be representative of those customers and build a
culture that’s inclusive for everyone.
In the last few years we took a new approach, reviewing hundreds of programs
across the company, using science to evaluate their effectiveness, impact,
and ROI — identifying the ones we believed should continue. Each one of
these addresses a specific disparity, and is designed to end when that
disparity is eliminated. In parallel, we worked to unify employee groups
together under one umbrella, and build programs that are open to all. Rather
than have individual groups build programs, we are focusing on programs with
proven outcomes — and we also aim to foster a more truly inclusive culture.
You can read more about this on our Together at Amazon page on A to Z.
This approach — where we move away from programs that were separate from our
existing processes, and instead integrating our work into existing processes
so they become durable — is the evolution to “built in” and “born
inclusive,” instead of “bolted on.” As part of this evolution, we’ve been
winding down outdated programs and materials, and we’re aiming to complete
that by the end of 2024. We also know there will always be individuals or
teams who continue to do well-intentioned things that don’t align with our
company-wide approach, and we might not always see those right away. But we’
ll keep at it.
We’ll continue to share ongoing updates, and appreciate your hard work in
driving this progress. We believe this is important work, so we’ll keep
investing in programs that help us reflect those audiences, help employees
grow, thrive, and connect, and we remain dedicated to delivering inclusive
experiences for customers, employees, and communities around the world.
#InThisTogether,
Candi

亞馬遜宣布暫停部分多元化與包容性（DEI）計畫，稱正在審查數百項倡議，淘汰過時的
項目，轉向更具成效的整合性計畫，目標是在2024年底完成調整。公司強調建立「內建」
和「與生俱來」的包容性文化，而非獨立的附加計畫。

和「與生俱來」的包容性文化，而非獨立的附加計畫。
此舉與包括Meta、麥當勞等多家公司縮減DEI計畫的趨勢一致，背景是保守派反彈增強及
2023年最高法院對平權行動的裁定。亞馬遜也修改了其「我們的立場」網頁，簡化對多元
化的表述，承諾持續投資於能反映其客戶與員工多樣性的計畫，並推動包容性體驗。
