�If McKinsey executives truly stand by their research on the alleged benefits of diversity, equity, and inclusion in hiring, then they should have no problem handing over their documents, as we requested in the letter.”

The Texas Republican wrote in his letter thatMcKinsey’s reportswere “highly influential in American corporations” and provided fuel for left-wing groups pushing race and gender-based diversity goals.

“With the support of the previous administration, progressive activists cited McKinsey’s reports to push companies, governments, and stock exchanges to implement rules which forced or incentivized illegal corporate racial or gender-based hiring and disclosure policies,” he wrote.

Gill also questioned whether the findings of the reports were legitimate.

“Although in 2024 McKinsey stated that it ‘stands by its findings,’ other researchers have found zero statistical correlation between a company’s gender and racial diversity and its financial performance,” the letter said.“Racial discrimination in the employment context, including under the guise of DEI, has been pervasive despite being plainly illegal for over half a century.”

Gill cited a 2026White House Economic Reportthat said DEI initiatives cost the U.S.economy roughly $94 billion in 2023.

He also pointed out that four reports published by McKinsey between 2015 and 2023 argued that companies with increasedracial and gender diversityfinancially outperformed companies without it.

“Researchers assessing the McKinsey DEI studies cannot recreate the results and also find that McKinsey likely swapped the cause and effect of its DEI conclusions,” Gill wrote.“The Executive Office of the President has identified $94 billion in annual economic costs to the U.S.economy due to promotion of otherwise illegal race and gender-based hiring practices, perhaps in part motivated by the findings of McKinsey’s DEI reports that are partially inaccurate or wholly incorrect.”

McKinsey’s corporate website states, “The business case for gender equality, diversity, and inclusion is strong and growing stronger.” The website estimated that the national GDP would go up by $12 trillion if the workforce gender gap is narrowed by 2025, but no update appears to be provided.Another statistic cites $2 billion in additional revenue “if financial inclusion efforts broaden services for black Americans.”
