Walmart, World's Largest Retailer, Scraps DEI Initiatives Including Center for Racial Equity
Nov 26, 2024, 12:17 AM
Walmart, the world's largest retailer, has decided to scrap some of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, including the closure of its 'Center for Racial Equity'. This decision comes in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump's promise to dismantle DEI and ESG policies, which have been criticized for promoting a 'woke' agenda. The move by Walmart is part of a broader trend among major U.S. corporations like Boeing, Ford, and Starbucks, which are also scaling back or reorganizing their DEI efforts. The changes at Walmart include the discontinuation of the term DEI, the banning of 'LatinX' from communications, the cessation of HRC surveys, and a review of funding for Pride events. This shift has been attributed to pressure from conservative activists, with Walmart stating it is 'willing to change' following an anti-woke campaign.
