Costco is battling an anti-DEI wave with a stern rebuke to activist shareholders looking to end the warehouse retailer’s diversity ambitions.

Walmart, John Deere, Tractor Supply and other companies are changing or walking away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies. But Costco believes DEI helps its “treasure hunt” shopping atmosphere, and it is standing behind its efforts.

Costco’s board of directors unanimously recommended that its shareholders vote against a proposal brought by a conservative think tank, the National Center for Public Policy Research, that would require Costco to evaluate and issue a report on the financial risks of maintaining its diversity and inclusion goals. The group criticized Costco for possible “illegal discrimination” against employees who are “white, Asian, male or straight.”

They gonna keep using asian people as well clearly

Exactly
100 rolls of toilet paper for 5.99 and jobs are safe

This is why Costco is a global MVP

Switching from BJs the Cotsco since my annual membership is almost up anyway

I suggest any other Black person on this forum do the same, not that there's that many

It’s funny how people are so worried about DEI when there’s other more pressing issues out here.

I'm sure The Luigi List has been updated accordingly

They always throw Asians in there.....when that group includes everyone from Pakistanis to Koreans to Vietnamese to Samoans. That's a big/broad azz group with very different interests.

They just use Asians so as not to appear racist.
