any real estate companies that touted diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the past have gone silent on the topic in their latest financial reports. The shift is likely a response to changing political winds, which may be making it less popular for companies to publicly discuss these issues.

    Some of these firms had previously highlighted initiatives aimed at increasing diversity among employees and customers, as well as promoting more inclusive business practices. However, their recent financial disclosures have made no mention of such efforts.

    This trend is notable given the growing importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in the real estate industry. As companies face increased scrutiny over their social responsibility, it's surprising that some are choosing to downplay these issues rather than continuing to prioritize them.
