Apple Objects to DEI Program Abolition

Apple’s board opposes a proposal urging the termination of their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. The conservative National Center for Public Policy Research submitted this proposal through a proxy filing.

Lawsuits Fear Drive Proposal

The think tank warns that DEI programs could expose businesses to legal risks, alluding to a recent ruling against racial affirmative action in colleges. It also brought up Meta and Amazon, both reportedly retracting their similar programs.

Apple’s Stand on Inclusion and Diversity

Contrarily, Apple defends its DEI programs as comprehensively compliant, thus averting legal issues. Moreover, Apple criticizes the proposal as an effort to overly regulate their policies and programs.

Apple maintains its commitment to fostering a culture in which everybody can perform at their best.
