For the first time since the eve of "peak woke" in 2019, Disney has decided that their business report doesn't need to contain all of that DEI nonsense.
Nature is healing!
Fox Business has the story.
Disney removed the terms "diversity" and "DEI" from its annual business report for the first time in five years Thursday morning.
In the company's 2025 Form 10-K filed after its recent Q4 meeting, the words "diversity," "inclusion," "DEI" or "diversity, equity and inclusion," appeared zero times. While the term "equity" appeared about 130 times, it was only used in a financial context.
By contrast, the company's 2024 SEC filing included a dedicated section on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
When a major corporation like Disney no longer feels the need to devote ANY of their business report to DEI in order to appease the gods of wokeness (AKA the ESG folks at BlackRock or Vanguard), you know something has shifted.
Earlier this year, Disney also removed two of its DEI programs, 'Reimagine Tomorrow' and 'The Disney Look,' from its 2024 SEC 10-K report. The 'Reimagine Tomorrow' program came under scrutiny after a 2022 meeting the program hosted featured a Disney executive touting her 'not-at-all-secret gay agenda.'
Thank goodness for Chris Rufo and his crusade which has led Disney on the path away from wokeness.
Unfortunately, Disney has a long way to go...
Though Disney has been shifting away from DEI initiatives, corporate stockholders voted in favor of continuing the company's participation in the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC) corporate equality index in March.
The HRC is described as a 'national benchmarking tool on corporate polices, practices, and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer employees.' Disney most recently earned a top rating of 100 for this year's index.
Business Insider also reported last month that Disney hosted its first 'Global Belonging Week,' which featured several references to 'belonging' and 'inclusion' without including the word 'diversity.'
But, hey, we're still on the right track, right?
