Badenoch tells firms to quit political activism and focus on the business

Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch has told firms to focus on delivering for customers rather than “activism or political causes”.Ms Badenoch said some firms’ well-meaning “equality, diversity and inclusion” initiatives “divide, rather than unify”.

The polling indicated that 75% of people believe that companies should hire on merit, regardless of race or gender, instead of seeking to create a diverse team. “The public want the focus of business to be on delivering great products and services, not activism or political causes – which repel as many people as they attract.

Ms Badenoch said: “As the recent Inclusion at Work Panel showed, many well-meaning ‘equality, diversity and inclusion’ initiatives divide rather than unify, and undermine organisational goals.“Policy Exchange’s programme is a timely and welcome contribution to document the creeping – and counter-productive – politicisation of our business environment.
