Firms are increasingly removing environmentally focused terms from corporate reports, mirroring a broader retreat from DEI language.

In response to heightened political polarization, companies are increasingly avoiding politically charged terms in their communications, according to a report by Newsweek. This shift is driven by a desire to maintain a neutral stance and avoid alienating customers or stakeholders with diverse political views. The report highlights that terms like "ESG" (Environmental, Social, and Governance), "diversity," and "sustainability" are being replaced with less controversial language such as "corporate responsibility" and "inclusion." This trend is evident across various industries, with companies like BlackRock and State Street Global Advisors adjusting their messaging to focus on broader, less divisive themes. The move reflects a broader corporate strategy to navigate the complex and often contentious political landscape while still addressing important social and environmental issues.
