05:01 AM EST, 02/06/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google ( GOOG ) is eliminating its diversity hiring targets and reviewing DEI programs, media outlets reported Wednesday.

Google ( GOOG ) said Wednesday in an email to employees that it would no longer establish hiring goals to improve representation among staff, The Wall Street Journal reported. In 2020, the company had set a target of boosting by 30% the proportion of "leadership representation of underrepresented groups" by this year, according to the report.

"We'll continue to invest in states across the U.S. - and in many countries globally - but in the future we will no longer have aspirational goals," the email reportedly said.

Google ( GOOG ) didn't immediately respond to a request for comment by MT Newswires.
