Google has decided to abandon its objective of hiring more employees from historically underrepresented groups and is reassessing its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The move reflects a broader trend among U.S. companies, which have been retracting their diversity efforts that followed the heightened focus on inclusivity after the protests against police violence in 2020. Meta Platforms has also ceased its diversity programmes, while Amazon is “winding down outdated programs and materials” related to representation. Google has yet to comment on these developments.
