McDonald’s has abandoned its efforts to set “aspirational representation goals” for diversity and inclusion, following the company’s latest corporate retreat. The move comes amid growing pressure from conservative advocates who have criticized the goals as overly ambitious.
Instead of setting specific targets, McDonald’s will now aim to integrate inclusion practices into its daily operations. The company also plans to retire a DEI pledge in its supply chain, replacing it with a more collaborative approach that discusses inclusion as part of business performance discussions.
