Target ends DEI programs, including racial equity initiative launched after George Floyd's murder

Target announced it would end its Racial Equity Action and Change (REACH) initiative, discontinue three-year DEI goals, stop participating in the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index, and rebrand its "Supplier Diversity" team to "Supplier Engagement." The company cited "staying in step with the evolving external landscape." Target had previously committed to spending $2 billion with Black-owned businesses by 2025 following George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis, near its headquarters.
