Lowe's backs off from DEI programs |
Home improvement retail chain Lowe's is retreating from some of its diversity, equity and inclusion commitments after receiving word it would be the next target of a conservative activist's campaign against companies that champion DEI, Jessica Guynn reports. |
The concessions include no longer participating in surveys for LGBTQ advocacy group the Human Rights Campaign. Lowe's will also combine its employee resource groups for diverse employees into one organization. |
