I believe this list includes companies that TRIED to roll back their DEI initiatives, but we're thwarted by shareholders. I think that's an important data point here.

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 months ago (1 children)

For companies of this scale, they are essentially machines. There’s no empathy, no real “thought” behind any of their actions, just taking the path to optimize profit.

Virtue-signaling is the best you can expect from large companies.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Some of them didn't even virtue signal, they attempted to revoke DEI practices but since they're public companies it went to vote among shareholders and lost.

If your list of “good” companies includes JP Morgan and Coca fucking Cola then you aren’t “fighting for progress.” Jesus fucking Christ.

Trader Joe's is a hard one because they are vehemently anti-union.

They joined musk and Bezos in suing to have NLRB declared unconstitutional. I haven't shopped there in over a year after reading that, was a 20-year customer.

Fuck traitor joes.

REI didn't join the suit but changed their legal firm to the same one representing these fine companies. Actions always louder than words.

Aetna CVS Caremark is the biggest enemy there is to pharmacists everywhere. No thanks.

don't mean to rain on anyone's parade but:

Coca-Cola, PepsiCo Planning to Comply With Trump’s DEI Policy

also coca-cola ceo is besties with trump

anyway support arizona iced tea instead.

also keurig dr pepper, who have a&w root beer, 7up, and schweppes - they're still devoted to dei and positive ethical impact too.

Wasn't Tim Cook sitting behind Trump at his inauguration?

[–] tills13@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Didn't Coke report their own employees to ICE?

[–] thesmokingman@programming.dev 7 points 3 months ago

CVS, like Walgreens, allows its pharmacists to do whatever the hell they want eg not distribute necessary meds. Their inclusion here is and always has been performative.

don’t forget that apple, coca-cola and unilever (who owns ben & jerry’s) are complicit in the Palestinian genocide

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Ben & Jerry's is owned by Unilever.
