Disney drops two DEI programs in latest SEC filing as investors pressure company to do more

Disney dropped its "Reimagine Tomorrow" program from their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion section of its 2024 SEC 10-K report. The program was mentioned in the 2023 report, which defines the program as "the Company’s digital destination for amplifying underrepresented voices and features some of Disney’s DE&I commitments and actions." The program hosted a controversial 2022 leaked "all-hands" meeting in which a Disney executive touting her "not at all secret gay agenda."

"On my little pocket of Proud Family Disney TVA, the showrunners were super welcoming… our leadership over there has been super welcoming to my not-at-all-secret gay agenda… they’re going hard… I don’t have to be afraid to have these two characters kiss in the background. I was just, wherever I could, adding queerness," executive producer Latoya Raveneau said at the time.

Disney’s "Reimagine Tomorrow" webpage, which is still active, says its mission is "amplifying underrepresented voices and untold stories as well as championing the importance of accurate representation in media and entertainment."

Disney is changing its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs to focus more closely on business outcomes, according to a note sent to employees Tuesday and obtained by Axios.

As part of the shift, sources tell Axios Disney is moving and changing the content disclaimers it started releasing around certain titles in 2020.

In a note to employees sent Tuesday morning, chief human resources officer Sonia Coleman outlined ways Disney's DEI efforts will change. Beginning this fiscal year, Disney will replace the "Diversity & Inclusion" performance factor that it used to evaluate executive compensation with a new "Talent Strategy."
