In a decisive move, Apple’s board has voiced strong opposition to a proposal from the National Center for Public Policy Research aimed at abolishing its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. The conservative think tank argues that such programs expose companies to legal risks, referencing recent Supreme Court rulings. However, Apple asserts the proposal is unnecessary, citing its established compliance framework. The tech giant emphasizes its ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive culture, rebuffing claims that the proposal is a legitimate concern for its operational integrity.
