Walmart will soon become the world's largest retailer to retract diversity, equity and inclusion policies following criticism received from conservative commentators aiming to perpetuate "anti-wokeness."
Walmart announced the changes on Monday, which include the end of a five-year commitment to an equity racial center set up in 2020 following the killing of George Floyd, which will not be renewed once time runs out. Furthermore, the company will not give priority treatment to suppliers based on gender and will be pulling out of a prominent gay rights index, reported NPR.
