Apple defeats shareholder effort to end DEI programmes
Published On Feb 25, 2025, 11:41 AM
Apple has successfully defeated a shareholder proposal aimed at ending its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, which some shareholders believe expose the company to potential risks. The proposal was rejected by a majority, with Apple arguing that it would be inappropriate to micromanage its policies. Following similar proposals at other major companies, this rejection signifies a resistance against recent trends of rolling back DEI initiatives in the corporate sector despite influences from political figures.
