DEI rollback reaches Walmart as backlash mounts: 'This is the biggest win yet'

Published On Nov 26, 2024, 12:07 PM

Walmart has made significant changes to its diversity initiatives, including the discontinuation of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, the cessation of participation in a corporate equality rating system, and the end of its $100 million Center for Racial Equity. The changes come amid increased activist pressure against DEI policies in corporate America. Similar moves have been seen in other major companies, indicating a broader trend away from these initiatives in the wake of recent political and legal pressures, including a Supreme Court ruling impacting race-conscious policies.
