US companies are accelerating their retreat from diversity and inclusion initiatives amid an all-out assault from conservatives emboldened by the election of Donald Trump. The pullback includes Walmart’s decision to end some of its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives last week, and Boeing’s move to disband its DEI department earlier this month.
In addition to exerting political pressure on companies, Starbuck said he had strategised with the incoming Trump administration to identify “a number of levers of power” they can pull to limit diversity requirements, including adding clauses barring them from implementing DEI initiatives if they have government contracts. DEI programmes expose companies to reverse discrimination cases and pose “a very significant legal risk for corporations”, Delikat said.
