While many Fortune 1000 companies committed to DEI after George Floyd's death in 2020, major corporations like Google, Meta, and Ford are retreating amid conservative pressures and economic concerns. However, DEI advocates argue the pullback is overstated, with many executives still prioritizing diversity. Despite challenges, most companies recognize DEI's long-term value.

But in the past couple of years, some of these same companies like Google, Meta , Lowe's and Ford have scaled back their DEI initiatives, citing political pressure, high costs and economic uncertainty.

Reuters —Stellantis said on Tuesday it will deploy a new vehicle system that will support assembly of gasoline, hybrid and electric models, but in a sign of how turbulent the electric-vehicle transition is, the automaker also delayed production of Ram electric pickup trucks.

London CNN —Ford plans to cut almost 4,000 jobs in Europe over the next three years, about 14% of its workforce in the region, as the carmaker faces slowing demand for electric vehicles and rising competition from China. “The global auto industry continues to be in a period of disruption, especially in Europe, where the industry faces unprecedented competitive, regulatory and economic headwinds,” Ford said in a statement.

The German automaker plans to close at least three factories in its home country and lay off tens of thousands of staff as it grapples with a weak car market in Europe and a steep loss of market share in China.
