Apple shareholders reject outside proposal to end DEI programs
Summary
The proposal, submitted by the National Center for Public Policy Research, was voted down at Apples annual shareholder meeting. "The risks to Apple stemming from continuing to push these divisive and value-destroying agendas is only increasing in light of President Trumps recent executive order focusing the Department of Justice on rooting out illegal discrimination being carried out in the name of DEI," NCPPR Executive Director Stephen Padfield said at the meeting. Apple opposed the measure, saying its already compliant with employment laws and that the proposal inappropriately seeks to micromanage the companys programs. Despite opposing the measure, Cook did warn that the legal landscape around diversity issues may force Apple to make changes. Companies like Amazon , McDonalds , Target , Ford , Lowes and Walmart have abandoned or scaled back DEI initiatives.
