PepsiCo has joined the growing list of major U.S. companies that are making changes to their diversity, equity and inclusion programs as President Donald Trump pushes to dismantle the practice across the federal government and private sector.

PepsiCo has revised its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in response to recent legal and political pressures, joining other major U.S. companies in adjusting their DEI strategies. The company has removed specific hiring goals from its public-facing documents, although it continues to emphasize the importance of diversity in its workforce. This shift comes amidst a broader corporate trend where companies like Zoom, Meta, and others have also modified their DEI initiatives due to conservative backlash and legal challenges, including a notable Supreme Court decision against affirmative action in college admissions. The changes reflect a cautious approach to DEI to mitigate potential legal risks while still promoting an inclusive corporate culture.
