McDonald’s is revamping its approach to diversity, equity and inclusion, becoming the latest large company to change its strategy as the once-ubiquitous goals come under pressure from conservative advocates.

The company will no longer set “aspirational representation goals” and will instead continue to “embed inclusion practices” into its day-to-day business, the burger chain said in a post on its website. It will also retire a DEI pledge in its supply chain “in favor of a more integrated discussion with suppliers about inclusion as it relates to business performance.”
