Corporate Backlash Against DEI Programs
Target is the latest company to scale back on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, following other big-name companies like Meta, Walmart, Amazon, and Tractor Supply Co. Corporate DEI policies have been unpopular with the American public, leading to backlash, boycotts, and financial losses for companies. The shift away from DEI initiatives is seen as a positive move by businesses to focus on their bottom line and deliver quality products to customers.
