  • Costco's board publicly supports the company's stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), challenging critics ahead of a politically charged climate.
  • The board recommended that shareholders reject a proposal from the conservative National Center for Public Policy Research to report on DEI efforts.
  • Despite a backlash, data shows shareholder support for diversity initiatives remains strong, with anti-DEI proposals receiving low support.
  • A study by the Conference Board revealed that out of around 3,000 publicly traded firms, fewer than 1% faced shareholder proposals on DEI concerns.
  • Costco is set to hold a shareholder vote on January 23, coinciding with a pivotal moment as Donald Trump resumes office with a critical stance on diversity measures.
