Costco's shareholders overwhelmingly voted against a proposal that would scale back the company's diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, stating that these efforts have allowed for "creativity and innovation in the merchandise and services that we offer."
On Thursday, shareholders voted on a proposal presented by The National Center for Public Policy Research, a Washington-based conservative think tank. The proposal aimed to prevent employees from becoming "victims of this type of illegal discrimination because they are white, Asian, male or straight."
