Apple is preparing to defend its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies against a proposal from the National Center for Public Policy Research at its upcoming annual shareholder meeting. This motion aims to discontinue DEI initiatives, citing changes in legal interpretations around such programs. Apple asserts it would oppose the proposal, claiming it undermines its management autonomy and comes during a broader industry trend where other tech companies have begun scaling back DEI efforts, especially amid the changing political climate under the Biden administration.
Apple's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion has come under fire from conservative investors, underscoring broader industry shifts toward rolling back similar initiatives.
Despite pressure from investors and the changing political landscape, Apple intends to maintain its DEI programs, citing operational management rights.
The motion to cut DEI programs highlights concerns over potential legal challenges, as framed by the National Center for Public Policy Research.
