Costco shareholders voted down an anti-DEI proposal just days after President Donald Trump issued sweeping new rules for federal agencies.

Summary

Costco shareholders voted overwhelmingly (98%) against a proposal by a conservative think tank, the National Center for Public Policy Research, to assess risks linked to the company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

Costco’s board supported DEI initiatives, dismissing the proposal as partisan and unnecessary.

This rejection contrasts with trends in other companies scaling back DEI efforts.

The vote comes amid new federal rules from Trump targeting DEI initiatives in federal agencies, potentially impacting private vendors working with the government.

    Blaming them for taking advantage of an imbalanced system for their own gain. Not blaming them for their race or gender. Come on now.

      Yeah, what are women doing working when they should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, am I right?

      You’re blaming women and minorities for taking advantage of an inbalanced system but it has nothing to do with their gender or race? I agree, I blame the bosses.
