摘要

Abstract

Diversity

equity and inclusion (DEI) has become the core of global corporate management

promoting diversity in gender

race and socioeconomic background to promote equity and inclusion. In recent years

DEI programs have been closely linked to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development (ESG)

such as the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that emphasize reducing inequality. However

the implementation of DEI programs faces many challenges

mainly including legal barriers

economic difficulties

social backlash and management difficulties. In addition

the legal environment of different countries affects the implementation of DEI programs

such as the differences in regulations and social acceptance in the United States

Malaysia and the European Union. This article will critically analyze the implementation difficulties of DEI programs and propose optimization paths

including legal compliance

economic optimization

and social and cultural adaptation

to help companies balance commercial interests and social responsibilities and more effectively promote DEI goals.
