Amazon withdraws from certain diversity and inclusion programs

Amazon, the world's leading e-commerce company, announced in an internal memo to its employees that it is ending some of its diversity and inclusion programs. This measure aligns with the increasing critical scrutiny of such initiatives in large companies and may indicate a strategic realignment. The memo, seen by Reuters on Friday, does not reveal specific details about the affected programs but leaves room for speculation about the future direction of Amazon's commitment in these areas. The internal changes at Amazon could impact the overall company culture and the approach to diversity and inclusion.
