Shareholders
of Apple Inc. have rejected a proposal for the company to abandon
it's diversity, inclusion and equity (DEI) policies. The attempt to cancel DEI
at Apple was initiated by the conservative think tank, the National Center for
Public Policy Research, according to a report from CBS.
The
iPhone maker has a page on its website devoted to DEI information. One section
reads, "We’re continuing to create a culture of inclusion, increasing
representation across teams, and holding ourselves accountable at every level.
Because belonging takes all of us."
CBS
reports Apple management played a video of the research center's Stephen
Padfield at the meeting prior to the shareholder vote, where he said, "The
risks to Apple stemming from continuing to push these divisive and
value-destroying agendas is only increasing in light of President Trump's
recent executive order focusing the Department of Justice on rooting out
illegal discrimination being carried out in the name of DEI." The center contends Apple could lose billions
from DEI lawsuits.
Apple
CEO Tim Cook personally addressed the issue during the meeting. He told
shareholders, "We've never had quotas or targets for Apple. Our strength
has always come from hiring the very best people and then providing a culture
of collaboration." Cook said some
aspects of the DEI policies might have be adjusted. "But our North Star of
dignity and respect for everyone, and our work to that end, will never
waver," he said."
The National Center for Public Policy Research
has a similar DEI proposal pending before Deere & Company.
