Insurance Giant Removes DEI Pages From Website, Commits To ‘Meritocracy’
One of the largest insurance companies in the country is removing commitments to being “anti-racist” and other DEI-related materials from its website as it promises to embrace a culture of meritocracy.
The Chubb Corporation has deleted or edited numerous webpages in recent weeks to remove information detailing multiple “racial justice” programs and its commitment to “inclusive hiring.” The changes come after The Daily Wire reported earlier this month on the scale of Chubb’s DEI initiatives and highly partisan comments from its CEO attacking North Carolina over a bill to keep men out of women’s bathrooms.
Deleted webpages include one called “Advancing Racial Justice,” which detailed various “racial justice” programs at Chubb.
“We believe in being anti-racist because a rejection of racism alone is insufficient. We have a responsibility to do our part – with candor, open minds and a commitment to change,” the company said on the now-deleted page. The page included information on Chubb’s “Race Matters” platform, intended to “facilitate greater consciousness of racism and understanding of the Black experience,” and on “inclusive hiring” practices, which placed a “special emphasis on professionals from underrepresented groups.”
Asked to explain the changes, a spokesman for Chubb, the largest commercial lines insurer in the United States and operating across 54 countries, said they were made to ensure the website “better convey[s]” the company’s culture.
“We have always strived to be a meritocracy. We made changes to the content on our website to better convey our culture,” a Chubb spokesman told The Daily Wire of the changes.
Many corporations have publicly moved away from DEI in recent years as customers have reacted negatively to corporate leftwing activism. Over the last month, Chubb has faced a national campaign from conservative groups like Consumers’ Research over some of the leftist policies it once highlighted on its website.
A number of major corporations, like John Deere and Tractor Supply, have backed away from corporate DEI initiatives since the 2024 election.
Some pages were just edited to remove some information. On its “Rule of Law Fund” page, for example, Chubb removed information about $1.1 million in donations it made, in part, to “understand and reduce racial inequities throughout the criminal justice process.”

A video taken down from its YouTube page featured Chubb Corporation CEO Evan Greenberg attacking North Carolina Republicans over a 2016 bill aimed at protecting women’s privacy.
“The rights of individuals, including our personal freedom and right to pursue happiness, are a universal right. We protect them. Actions like those in North Carolina and other states to discriminate against sexual preference and strip citizens of their protections, do not reflect who we are as a nation, and are ultimately, I believe, a threat to democracy,” Greenberg said.
A variety of other DEI-related pages were edited or removed from the webpage.
This included information on its commitment to no longer underwriting “the construction and operation of new coal-fired plants or new risks for companies that generate more than 30% of their revenues from coal mining or energy production from coal.”
Other information that was removed focused on programs specifically for women, its Global Climate Business Unit, and sponsorship of a DEI festival.
“In our journey to become a more equitable workplace, Chubb has developed a series of accelerator programs around the world designed for women at all stages of their career,” it said on a now-removed page on “Accelerating Opportunities for Women.”
