Walmart Scales Back DEI Initiatives Amid External Pressures

Walmart, the largest private employer in the U.S., announced it will scale back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, including ending supplier diversity programs and discontinuing the use of the term 'Latinx.' This move aligns with a broader trend of companies retreating from DEI efforts, influenced by activists like Robby Starbuck.
