Walmart will no longer consider race and gender as a way to increase diversity when it offers supplier contracts, among other changes.

By Anne D'Innocenzio, Associated PressA Walmart logo is displayed outside of a Walmart store, in Walpole, Mass., Sept. 3, 2019.

The company confirmed on Monday to The Associated Press that it will better monitor its third-party marketplace items to make sure they don’t feature sexual and transgender products aimed at minors. That would include chest binders intended for youth who are going through a gender change, the company said.

Walmart will also no longer consider race and gender as a way to increase diversity when it offers supplier contracts. The company said it didn’t have quotas and will not do so going forward. It will stop collecting demographic data when determining financing eligibility for those grants.
