Costco shareholders made their stance on diversity clear this week, voting down a proposal that challenged the retailer’s commitment to inclusion programs. The motion, which called for a report on the risks tied to these initiatives, was soundly rejected with over 98% of votes against it.

This decision stands out in a climate where corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts are under increased scrutiny. Many companies ramped up these programs in 2020 following the Black Lives Matter movement, and Costco’s vote signals strong investor support for such policies.

The proposal came from the National Center for Public Policy Research, a group that argued DEI efforts could lead to legal, financial, and reputational risks. However, Costco’s board urged shareholders to vote against it, stating the report wouldn’t provide meaningful insights.

Notably, this isn’t the first time anti-DEI resolutions have faltered. Last year, similar proposals at other U.S. corporations averaged less than 2% support. Experts suggest that despite shifting political tides, investors remain hesitant to back measures questioning workplace inclusion.

Costco, a membership-only retailer with over 300,000 employees worldwide, has long been a leader in employee satisfaction and benefits. This latest vote reinforces its commitment to maintaining diverse and inclusive practices, even as other companies scale back similar initiatives.

The result sends a strong message: when it comes to DEI, Costco’s shareholders aren’t just on board—they’re all in.
