I think the assumption you're making here is that companies don't influence the pipeline. Don't influence whether people choose do STEM degrees etc.
I think the idea behind diversity targets is an implicit assumption that they do. In subtle ways like how/where they advertise, and in more obvious ways like funding educational programs etc. It's there that diversity programs/targets need to start, not at the hiring stage.
