Apple shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal urging the company to scale back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, aligning the tech giant with a growing number of corporations resisting political pressure to eliminate such initiatives.
The proposal, introduced by the National Center for Public Policy Research—a conservative think tank—called on Apple to follow companies that have distanced themselves from DEI efforts amid scrutiny from the Trump administration. However, after a brief discussion, Apple announced that shareholders had decisively voted against the measure.
