The company’s website now refers to the program as “inclusion and accessibility” and features a host of other changes.
That same month, Wells Fargo also appeared to remove from its website a section on the company’s long history with diversity and inclusion, which honored its work with the first national organization for lesbians, its support for Japanese-Americans held in US concentration camps, and its Spanish-language support, which dates back to the 1800s.
Then, at the end of May, Wells Fargo’s DEI landing page, sub-page, and related content disappeared from its website. While the company had used to display openly text about advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, touting its annual DEI report, racial equity assessment and pay equity analysis, that information has no longer appeared on its website; HR Brew recovered the deleted information through the Wayback Machine archival site.
The site also previously shared information on its DEI councils that were developed to “support our lines of business and international leaders to help implement programs and initiatives,” but the company did not respond when asked if the councils still exist. Wells Fargo’s employee resource networks (often referred to as ERGs) appear to be active and information on them is still available.
Wells Fargo did not respond to requests for comment.
