Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, is rolling back its diversity, equity and inclusion policies, joining a growing list of major corporations that have done the same after coming under attack by conservative activists.
The changes, confirmed by Walmart on Monday, are sweeping and include not renewing a five-year commitment for a racial equity centre set up in 2020 after the police killing of George Floyd — nor will the company continue to use race and gender as a litmus test to improve diversity when it offers supplier contracts. Walmart said it didn’t have quotas and will not do so going forward.
