Thomson Reuters said that it would be dropping “diversity” from company language and would replace it with the word “inclusion” in an effort to comply with a January executive order from President Trump on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
The corporation is the parent company of Reuters international news agency and also offers tech services for the federal government as a contractor.
“To ensure ongoing compliance, we are clarifying some of our talent practices and language. This includes renaming ‘diversity and inclusion’ to ‘inclusion and belonging’ and building detailed guidance to inform how we articulate and implement programs and practices,” the company wrote in a Tuesday email to employees obtained by The New York Times media reporter Benjamin Mullin.
Trump’s two orders entitled “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing” and “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity” abolished previous executive orders that outlined policies for equal employment opportunities for the federal workforce, federal contractors and grant recipients.
