Nearly all Fortune 500 companies still maintain corporate DEI commitments: report
Fox News
New report obtained exclusively by Fox News shows almost every single Fortune 500 company continues to maintain some form of DEI commitment.
The effort to ensure that "everyone" is given a fair shot is a main reason why Walmart decided to begin rolling back some of its commitments.
"Our purpose, to help people save money and live better, has been at our core since our founding 62 years ago and continues to guide us today," Joe Pennington, the director of Walmart's global press office, told Fox News Digital. "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."
While pressure on private companies to relinquish their DEI commitments has yielded some change, 485 of the country's 500 largest companies continue to maintain some form of DEI commitment, according to a new report from the right-leaning Heritage Foundation.
