Apple’s DEI Triumph Under Siege by Shareholder

Apple overwhelmingly rejected a proposal from the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) to axe its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, with 97% of shareholders voting to preserve them. Yet the battle’s heating up. The NCPPR, a conservative think tank and minority shareholder with a sliver of Apple’s 16 billion shares, used SEC rules to ignite a nationwide DEI debate with a stake far smaller than the tech giant’s titans. Their move reflects a surging anti-DEI push hitting companies like Disney and Meta, hinting at more clashes ahead. As legal risks rise and corporate resolve wavers, this small player’s boldness could spur other minority shareholders to challenge big-name firms, shifting power dynamics. Can Apple’s DEI stand endure, or will tiny stakes topple it? Explore the full story to see what’s next for corporate America.
