retailer successfully defended its DEI policies as good for business to shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>In a\u00a0<a

Monday to Costco CEO Ron Vachris, the AGs accuse the retailer of &#8220;clinging to DEI policies that courts and businesses have rejected as illegal,&#8221; and called on it to account for the legal risks of its actions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, the Republican officials instructed Costco to let them know within 30 days whether it would get rid of its DEI policies or explain why not.<\/p>\n<p>Costco did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP letter came after Costco shareholders <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/costco-dei-policy-board-statement-shareholder-meeting-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">overwhelmingly rejected<\/a><\/span> a proposal that the wholesale club operator evaluate any risks associated to its DEI practices. The shareholder behind the resolution, the National Center for Public Policy Research, argued that DEI &#8220;may sound benign,&#8221; but in fact is &#8220;weaponized language concealing a radical Marxist agenda.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Costco&#8217;s board, however, urged against the conservative think tank&#8217;s motion ahead of its annual meeting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Among other things, a diverse group of employees helps bring originality and creativity to our merchandise offerings, promoting the &#8216;treasure hunt&#8217; that our customers value,&#8221; the retailer stated. Costco&#8217;s &#8220;commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary. The report requested by this proposal would not provide meaningful additional information,&#8221; it added.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-none embed--size-medium \"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/trump-signs-executive-orders-to-address-dei-transgender-troops-in-u-s-military\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">Trump signs executive orders to address DEI, transgender troops in U.S. military<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">02:31<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A day after Costco held its ground on its DEI policies, discount store chain <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/news\/target-ending-diversity-goals-dei-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Target joined Walmart<\/a><\/span> and other corporations in scaling back on diversity initiatives under attack from conservative activists emboldened by high court decisions and President Trump, who recently banned DEI programs across the federal government.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Intended as a means of promoting fairness in the workplace and open paths for people of color, women and expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity, DEI <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/dei-diversity-equity-inclusion-corporate-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">programs gained momentum<\/a><\/span> after the 2020 murder of George Floyd.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"\/><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/kate-gibson\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Kate Gibson<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Kate Gibson is a reporter for CBS MoneyWatch in New York, where she covers business and consumer finance.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/costco-dei-policy-diversity-equity-inclusion\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maryland lawmakers vow to uphold the state&#8217;s commitment to DEI Maryland lawmakers vow to uphold the state&#8217;s commitment to DEI<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2555,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Republican attorneys general call out Costco for maintaining DEI policies - World News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Costco shareholders days ago rejected anti-DEI proposal.
