This past week, Ford and Lowe's became the latest companies to dismantle their policies on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), overhauling employee resource groups and ending sponsorship of Pride events.
While companies like Ford and Lowe's have taken a more extreme stance on DEI, these developments are just the latest in a trend of corporations eliminating or altering their DEI programs over the past year.
In a survey of almost 2,500 respondents—all of whom identified as LGBTQ+—about 80% said they would boycott a company that had rolled back its DEI policies.
Over 93% of respondents believed that if employers were awarded a perfect score from HRC, it was a good indication of their support for LGBTQ+ workers.
