Intel—Dramatically reduced DEI commitments and removed diversity targets from SEC filings
In 2025, Intel dramatically reduced its DEI language in corporate reports and removed diversity targets from SEC 10-K filings. This represented a major rollback from 2020 goals including achieving 40% women in technical roles and doubling women/underrepresented minorities in senior leadership by 2030. Intel had previously stated 'Diversity, equity, and inclusion have long been Intel's core values and are instrumental to driving innovation and delivering strong business growth.'
