According to recent news, Walmart has just announced a rollback of their DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs, including ending racial equity training for staff and reviewing supplier diversity initiatives, following pressure from conservative groups; this is considered a significant shift in corporate DEI policies.
