Kraft Heinz Denies Diversity Goals are Quotas

At the Kraft Heinz annual shareholder meeting on May 5, 2022, the Free Enterprise Project asked this question of executives:

Kraft Heinz has placed great emphasis on its “Diversity, Equity, and Belonging” initiative. As part of this endeavor, it has set goals of having “30% of [its] salaried U.S. employee population identify as people of color” and “50% of [its] global management positions [to] be filled by women” by 2025.

At the same time, Kraft Heinz insists it has a “zero tolerance policy for discrimination....” How does Kraft Heinz reconcile its race and sex-based hiring quotas with its alleged zero tolerance for discrimination?

This is how the question was rephrased and answered during the meeting.
