Costco's board of directors asked shareholders to vote against a proposal challenging the company's diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices.

Costco’s board of directors adamantly urged shareholders to vote against efforts to limit the company’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) after receiving a proposal included in their annual notice to shareholders from the National Center for Public Policy Research to strike “discriminatory practices.

Costco just rejected a proposal brought on by anti-diversity activists that suggested the company ditch DEI policies as DEI-related lawsuits have been popping up across the Industry.

The National Center for Public Policy Research is lobbying Costco to eliminate its DEI programs. Company leaders are not obliging.
