Goldman Sachs to remove DEI criteria for board, WSJ reports

Goldman Sachs (GS) plans to remove race, gender identity, sexual orientation and other DEI factors from its board diversity criteria, The Wall Street Journal’s AnnaMaria Andriotis reports. The decision follows a request from the National Legal and Policy Center, which submitted a proposal to remove DEI criteria, according to people familiar with the matter. Goldman last year retooled its One Million Black Women program and ended diverse board requirements for IPO clients.
