EG Group drops diversity goals before £13bn US listing

EG Group is rolling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) targets ahead of a £13bn US listing. The company no longer aims to increase the number of women in senior leadership in the US, stating DEI initiatives apply only “in regions where legally permissible.” Previously, EG sought to raise female representation in senior roles to 40% by 2025, but by 2024, it only reached 27%.

The change comes as more companies retract their inclusion efforts in response to regulatory shifts under the Trump administration. A spokesperson affirmed, “EG Group complies with all relevant laws and regulations.” The Issa brothers, who co-own EG, have stepped back from day-to-day operations.
