Goldman Sachs plans to drop DEI from board-candidate criteria, WSJ reports

  • Goldman Sachs plans to remove race, gender identity, sexual orientation, and other diversity factors from the criteria for selecting board members, responding to pressure from conservative activists and pending shareholder approval in April.
  • The National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative nonprofit with a small stake in Goldman Sachs, requested the removal of DEI criteria and submitted a proposal for shareholder consideration.
  • Goldman Sachs has been retreating from DEI initiatives since early 2021, including retooling its 'One Million Black Women' program to remove explicit racial references.
  • This shift aligns with broader corporate America trends following political and legal challenges, signaling a broader corporate reversal on DEI amid regulatory scrutiny.
