Walmart's Diversity Policy Rollback Signals Corporate Retreat from DEI

Walmart has rolled back its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, ceasing to prioritize contracts for minority-owned businesses and discontinuing its racial equity center. This decision follows a series of legal victories by conservative groups challenging DEI programs, prompted by a shift in the political landscape with the election of Donald Trump. Surveys indicate declining support for DEI among employees, leading many corporations, including Ford and Harley-Davidson, to reevaluate their commitment to such initiatives. Experts warn of potential legal risks and emphasize the need for companies to adhere to their core values.
