Ford joins other companies walking back previous DEI commitments on supplier quotas and LGBTQ+ corporate equality practices.
  • Ford Motor told employees in an internal communication that it had taken “a fresh look” at its DEI policies and practices over the past year.
  • Following that review, the automaker said it will not use quotas for minority dealerships or suppliers, adding that it does not have hiring quotas.
  • The company also will stop participating in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, as well as various other “best places to work” lists.

    There isn’t the same level of pressure to commit to DEI as their is to stop it, and those supporting the latter position are probably seen as likely Ford customers.

    I’m sure cutting investment in any program also saves them money, which has to be seen as a benefit too.
