Full story

Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, is the latest corporation to roll back its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies. The company confirmed the changes on Monday, Nov. 25.

Walmart said it will not renew its Center for Racial Equity, a $100 million philanthropic commitment “to address the root causes of gaps in outcomes experienced by Black and African American people in education, health, finance, and criminal justice systems.” The initiative was launched in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd.

The company also told The Associated Press that it plans to more closely monitor third-party online sellers to ensure they do not sell sexual and transgender items marketed toward children, including chest binders.

Additionally, Walmart confirmed it will stop participating in the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index, an annual survey that assesses policies and benefits for LGBTQ+ employees.

“We’ve been on a journey and know we aren’t perfect, but every decision comes from a place of wanting to foster a sense of belonging, to open doors to opportunities for all our associates, customers and suppliers and to be a Walmart for everyone,” Walmart representatives said in a statement.

The changes come weeks after President-elect Donald Trump, a critic of DEI policies, won the election.

Robby Starbuck, a conservative commentator who has been vocal and critical of companies with corporate DEI policies, called out corporations on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“We are unstoppable at this point,” Starbuck said in a video posted to X. “With a 100% flip rate where we change corporate America and get them back to a culture of sanity and neutrality.”

Last month, a group of Democratic House members wrote a letter to Fortune 1000 companies, urging them to maintain their DEI initiatives.

“We write to call on you to reject division and continue supporting programs, policies, and initiatives that give everyone a fair chance at achieving the American dream,” the letter stated.

Walmart joins a list of other companies that have also announced they are rolling back DEI initiatives, including Tractor Supply, John Deere, Lowe’s, Harley-Davidson and Ford.
