On November 26, Gelonghui reported that a walmart spokesperson stated on Monday that the company plans to reduce some of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, joining a growing number of companies facing pressure from conservatives. According to Bloomberg, walmart will no longer consider race and gender factors to promote diversity when awarding contracts to suppliers, and will not evaluate financing eligibility based on certain demographic data provided by suppliers. Additionally, walmart will scale back racial equity training. The spokesperson confirmed the report. The world's largest retailer will now join companies like starbucks, jpmorgan, and ford, which have modified their DEI policies in response to pressure from conservatives over the past year.
