Apple's board urged shareholders to reject a proposal aimed at ending diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) programmes, asserting it undermines their business operations and compliance.
The board’s filing emphasized that Apple has a 'well-established compliance programme' and that the proposal would inappropriately limit their ability to effectively manage operations.
In contrast to Apple, companies like Meta and Amazon are scaling back DEI initiatives citing a shifting 'legal and policy landscape' as well as the 'charged' nature of those terms.
Meta's recent decisions resulted in criticism, especially on how they will allow derogatory terms towards LGBTQ+ individuals, prompting employees to express distress, leading to reported sick calls.
