Agricultural machinery maker Deere and Co. has dialed down what it calls its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) “mindset” after facing a pressure campaign on social media and beyond over some of its diversity measures.
The Moline, Illinois-based company, which does business as John Deere, said on July 16 that it will stop supporting social awareness events, review training materials to remove socially motivated messaging, and confirmed it doesn’t have any diversity hiring quotas.
