“The ‘DEI in the dustbin’ narrative is utterly unsupported by data. Companies that have formally backed away from diversity programs represent a tiny minority of corporate America. The Heritage Foundation recently conceded that 486 of Fortune 500 still have inclusion statements on their websites.”

Opinion: Corporate America isn't abandoning DEI — it's just rebranding it
A handful of companies say they are retreating on diversity, equity and inclusion, but watch closely: They are likely to quietly continue their commitments.
