'Walmart Is The Latest Major Company To Roll Back DEI Policies Amid
Conservative Backlash'

<https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/walmart-is-the-latest-major-company-to-roll-back-dei-policies-amid-conservative-backlash/ar-AA1uMaV6>

'Walmart will roll back some of its diversity, equity and inclusion
initiatives, becoming the latest major company to pull back on
inclusivity efforts amid pressure from conservative activists.'

'Key Facts
Walmart confirmed to several outlets, including Bloomberg and the
Associated Press, that it is making broad changes—including no longer
giving priority treatment to suppliers on suppliers based on race and
gender, ending racial equity training for staffers and exiting from the
LGBTQ rights group Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index.

The supposed changes were first announced on X by prominent anti-DEI
conservative pundit, Robby Starbuck, who said the move was in response
to the threat of a boycott campaign ahead of the holiday shopping
season.

Starbuck claimed he had “productive conversations” with executives at
Walmart who promised to implement these changes.

The company confirmed to Bloomberg that it had held conversations with
Starbuck but claimed that it was already reviewing its DEI efforts
before that.

Aside from changes to its DEI policies, Walmart has also agreed to
monitor its online marketplace for listings by third-party sellers, that
Starbuck describes as “sexual and/or transgender products marketed to
children,” and remove them if necessary.

The company also told AP that it plans to review grants for Pride events
to ensure it was not “financially supporting sexualized content that may
be unsuitable for kids.”'
