Under growing scrutiny of corporate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, McDonald’s is the latest company to publicly communicate changes to its DEI strategy.

The change in strategy comes as a result of work done last year, McDonald’s said, including a “comprehensive Civil Rights Audit.”

In a surprising twist, McDonald's is tweaking its approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in response to legal changes and external pressures. The company aims to uphold its commitment to inclusion while adapting its practices to an evolving corporate environment.
