Summary

Deere investors overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI resolution, with only 1.3% voting in favor.

The proposal, filed by the conservative National Legal and Policy Center, sought a report on racial and gender hiring statistics.

Deere, which recently distanced itself from LGBTQ+ pride events, faced scrutiny amid broader corporate retreats from DEI under pressure from the Trump administration.

However, investors at Apple and Costco have upheld DEI efforts, reflecting continued support for workplace diversity despite political opposition. Deere’s vote signals resistance to anti-DEI measures in the corporate sector.
