Former President Trump's return has intensified opposition against DEI programs, with several Fortune 500 companies like Meta and Walmart reducing their initiatives. However, leaders like JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon and Costco are vocal supporters of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Despite resistance from conservative activists, some corporations remain committed to their DEI programs, showcasing a divide in corporate America's response to these initiatives post-2020 racial justice movements. The ongoing debate reflects a broader cultural and political struggle over inclusivity in business practices.
One of President Donald Trump's first executive orders upon returning to office aimed to stomp out federal DEI programs, a pledge he made on the campaign trail.
Yet, elsewhere in the corporate world, there are still high-profile supporters. Take Jamie Dimon. This week, the JPMorgan CEO defended the bank's DEI work as activist shareholders appear to be targeting the company.
