Mark Zuckerberg’s charity confirms support for DEI despite Meta’s overhaul

Exclusive: Chan Zuckerberg Initiative workers express concern, as recent changes there similar to those at Meta

The for-profit charity organization founded by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan told employees last month that its commitment to corporate diversity is not changing even after Meta eliminated its diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

Employees of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) expressed concern in January after Meta's top HR executive announced that that company would no longer put resources toward hiring and working with diverse and underrepresented job candidates and business suppliers (a suite of practices often referred to as DEI, for diversity, equity and inclusion), according to internal CZI messages viewed by the Guardian.
