A group of 19 Republican attorneys general, including Louisiana’s Liz Murrill, has called on Costco to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, citing a Republican president’s executive order. The letter warns that the policies are “unlawful discrimination” and asks the company to treat employees “equally based on their merit.” Costco shareholders recently rejected a proposal to examine risks posed by the policies, with nearly 98% of votes against. The company has not publicly responded to the letter. This move comes as some companies reevaluate their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, while others reaffirm them.
