Lowe's has decided to discontinue its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, including participation in LGBTQ advocacy surveys and community events, amid growing backlash against 'woke' policies. CEO Marvin Ellison, the only black head of two Fortune 500 companies, has faced criticism and claims of external pressure prompting this shift. This move follows a trend among major U.S. companies, influenced by a Supreme Court ruling that questioned race-conscious admissions, reflecting a broader reconsideration of DEI commitments.
