AMD—Removed DEI metrics from executive compensation structure
AMD removed DEI metrics from executive annual cash bonuses in 2024, replacing them with 'workforce strategic objectives.' This represented a retreat from 2023 when DEI performance directly affected executive pay. The change occurred despite AMD maintaining public DEI programs including the 'Advancing Women in Tech' initiative.
