Kohl's on Friday changed the title of its chief DEI officer and broadened its supplier diversity program in response to President Donald Trump's push to dismantle the practice in the federal government and private sector.
Kohl's has recently updated its approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) by changing the title of its DEI officer from "Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer" to "Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer," reflecting a strategic shift in focus. Additionally, Kohl's has expanded its supplier diversity program, aiming to increase the representation of diverse suppliers in its supply chain. This initiative includes setting new goals to enhance the diversity of its suppliers, which now encompasses businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, and the LGBTQ+ community. The company is also focusing on creating more inclusive environments within its stores and corporate offices, and is actively working to ensure that its products and marketing reflect the diversity of its customer base. These changes are part of Kohl's broader commitment to fostering an inclusive culture and supporting economic opportunities for underrepresented groups.
