What's the effective difference between unofficial policy of discrimination and individual groups conducting discrimination en mass?

Thinking back to a unicorn I worked for we were unofficially told to favour women in hiring. We all thought it was a great idea at that time, but also I do remember a coworker saying how her group has been doing heavy favouring of women in hiring for years already before being told to do so.

There isn't an effective difference

If people want to change anything about it, they need to know the structure of it
