Apple Stands Firm on Inclusion, Defeating Conservative Diversity Critique

New York, N.Y. Apple’s investors have firmly dismissed a proposal aimed at ending the company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
Spearheaded by a conservative think tank and in line with President Donald Trump’s campaign against such initiatives, the measure was defeated by an outstanding 97% vote.
CEO Tim Cook reaffirmed Apple’s commitment to an inclusive workforce despite potential legal shifts. This decisive outcome mirrors similar rejections at other major corporations, underscoring the belief that diversity remains a key driver of business success.
In 2014, Cook became the first and only chief executive of a Fortune 500 company to publicly come out as gay.
