Walmart Inc., the largest retailer globally, is reducing its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts due to pressure from conservative activists.

The company will no longer consider race and gender when making supplier contract decisions, which represents a significant change in its approach to diversity.

Furthermore, Walmart will no longer gather demographic data when assessing financing eligibility for suppliers. This decision reflects a broader trend among businesses reevaluating their DEI programs in response to external pressures.
