Kohl's (KSS.N), opens new tab on Friday changed the title of its chief DEI officer and broadened its supplier diversity program in response to President Donald Trump's push to dismantle the practice in the federal government and private sector.
"We have evolved our framework to focus on inclusion and belonging," said Michelle Banks, whose title changed from chief DEI officer to chief inclusion and belonging officer.
The department store is the latest U.S. company to join the likes of Target and Pfizer to take steps in changing policies related to DEI program after Trump urged the private sector to end "illegal DEI discrimination and preferences".
Banks, who joined Kohl's in 2010, was named the DEI chief in 2021 when the company created the role to support diversity, equity and inclusion policies.
The company is also adding qualified small businesses, including diverse small businesses, Banks told Reuters.
Bloomberg first reported the news on Friday and said Kohl's has removed references to DEI from its website, replacing it with words inclusion and belonging.

"Kohl’s suffers major losses amid alarming consumer trend"
Despite a bustling holiday season, Kohl’s suffered a significant dip in its sales and profits, and it’s sounding the alarm on the source of the problem.
-----------
In Kohl’s fourth-quarter earnings report for 2024, the retailer revealed that its comparable sales decreased by 6.5% year over year.
Kohl’s operating income, the company's profit after expenses, also shrunk by a whopping 57% compared to the same quarter in 2023.
Shortly after the company reported its earnings on March 11, its stock declined by 20%.

[Kohl’s CEO Ashley Buchanan] also acknowledged that consumers across the country are battling inflation and higher costs of living, which is also impacting sales as it’s causing consumers to seek more value.
“When you look at income level, if you're making less than 50, that consumer is pretty constrained from a discretionary standpoint,” said Buchanan. “If you're making less than 100, it's also pretty challenging. And you see that very clearly in the numbers. And obviously, we hear the inflation numbers, they're coming down or 2% to 3%, but they're still pretty elevated from – particularly from a grocery and rent perspective over the last few years because they haven't actually deflated.”
