End of the rainbow?
Counting the cost of Trump's war on DEI
Since gaining keys to the White House, President Trump has turned his "anti-woke" crusade into a weapons-grade offensive. He quickly issued a slew of executive orders revoking liberal policies, from transgender rights to equal employment rights dating back to the 1960s. U.S. companies had already been ditching diversity and inclusion targets over the past year, under increasing pressure from conservative pressure groups and Republican state attorney-generals, but a trickle has turned into a stampede since January.
In the latest issue of Ethical Corporation we look at the implications for the war on DEI both in the U.S. and in Europe and Africa. We also do a deep dive into some of the barriers to progress for women, who are 134 years away from achieving parity with men. We look at what is holding back women in China, in the clean energy sector, on boards in Europe and in U.S. venture capital firms, as well as efforts to extend financial services to women in the Global South.
Best,
