What is the state of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at Apple? Here’s everything you need to know.

 

Shareholders Reject Proposal to End DEI Programs

At the recent annual meeting, a proposal from the National Center for Public Policy Research aimed to dismantle Apple’s DEI initiatives, citing potential legal risks and alignment with recent political directives.
