Walmart to phase out DEI initiatives amid escalated attacks from conservatives

Company will no longer consider race and gender when making offers to suppliers and will remove LGBTQ+ merchandise

Walmart, the world's largest retailer, will phase out several diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in its workplaces, as far-right conservatives continue take aim at such programs.

Among several sweeping changes, the company will no longer consider race and gender as a means to improve diversity when making offers to suppliers, several outlets reported.
