While it’s no surprise that President Donald Trump is undoing years of hard won national progress in combating discrimination, the decision by many corporations to cowardly follow suit is shameful.
Take North Carolina-based Duke Energy.
As researchers at the Energy and Policy Institute recently reported, Duke once held itself out as a leader in fighting injustice. Its former CEO led her presentation at a 2020 earnings call by stating quote “issues surrounding racial equity and social justice are front and center, as they should be.”
“Now, more than ever” she continued, “we are relying on these values to cultivate a workplace rooted in diversity and inclusion.”
What a difference a few years make.
Today, the report notes, Duke has been busy scrubbing numerous references to diversity and inclusion from important corporate documents.
The bottom line: While some corporations are proudly reenforcing their commitment to fight discrimination, Duke bosses have sadly but predictably folded like a cheap suit. One suspects it’s a sign of their true colors.
