DEI is emerging triumphant in shareholder battles across corporate America from Coca-Cola to Berkshire Hathaway

Quick Summary:

Here’s what happened to anti-DEI proposals put before shareholders at several U.S.companies, including Apple, Goldman Sachs, and Costco.

Ahead of its May meeting, Berkshire Hathaway sought to exclude a proposal from the NCPPR which asked the company to perform a legal audit of its race-based initiatives, suggesting that the company’s DEI policies were putting it at risk of lawsuits.

Last year, the conservative activist group National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) submitted a proposal asking the iconic American company to review and consider its executive pay, as well as its DEI hiring goals.
