MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Disney is set to change its diversity, equity, and inclusion practices to pay more attention to commercial results, media said on Tuesday, adding that the shifts, while less serious than those in other businesses, indicate the pressure faced by those companies attempting to fit in the second term of US President Donald Trump.
US entertainment giant Disney is making changes to its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, Western media reported, citing a note sent to the company's employees.
Starting the next fiscal year, the company will replace the diversity-based factor in calculating rewards of executives with the earlier-used talent-based one, which is more focused on driving Disney's commercial success, the note read.
Moreover, the world-famous entertainment giant will change or move content disclaimers it added to its old movies and cartoons to warn about allegedly discriminatory moments.

On January 20, immediately upon taking the oath, Trump signed an executive order terminating all DEI programs in the federal government. Corresponding cuts in the federal workforce via buyouts have since been carried out by the Department of Government Efficiency. According to White House data, about 2% of the total federal workforce, or 40,000 people, had accepted deferred resignation offers last week.
