DEI Declassified: Exposing the Gaps Between Words and Action


We proudly stand alongside DEI Declassified, an independent, volunteer-driven initiative bringing much-needed clarity and accountability to how organizations engage with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).

In a time when slogans often replace substance, DEI Declassified takes a courageous stance: shining light on the growing disconnect between corporate DEI statements and actual structural change. Their mission is simple but urgent — to uncover performative inclusion and champion integrity, transparency, and measurable impact.

A Growing Challenge

In the U.S., anti-DEI narratives are gaining traction, putting hard-won progress at risk. Some companies quietly scale back their DEI commitments while maintaining the appearance of social responsibility through polished PR. This trend reflects deeper ethical failures that often extend to environmental and governance issues as well.

Meanwhile, in Europe — where anti-discrimination laws are firm — organizations that neglect DEI expose themselves to reputational and legal consequences. Across regions, the message is consistent: equity and inclusion are not optional values; they are cornerstones of sustainable leadership.

From Statements to Substance

For DEI Declassified, real inclusion is measurable and transformative. They call out “DEI-washing” — when diversity and equity become checkbox exercises rather than commitments to structural change. By helping individuals and organizations identify performative practices, they empower everyone to push for authentic transformation.

A Collective for Real Change

Led by volunteer specialists in DEI, this initiative fosters a global network dedicated to breaking systemic barriers and reimagining workplaces that truly include.
