Coca-Cola has expressed concerns that changes to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies could harm its business. In its annual filing, the company emphasized the importance of an inclusive workplace culture to its success. Coca-Cola believes its diverse workforce drives innovation, collaboration, and growth, reflecting the diversity of its global consumer base. The company remains committed to equal opportunities and fostering inclusion in its operations and communities. Coca-Cola warned that failing to maintain such a culture could disrupt operations and negatively impact future success. This stance contrasts with rival PepsiCo, which has scaled back DEI initiatives following President Trump’s executive orders targeting federal DEI programs. Coca-Cola’s CFO, John Murphy, stated the company aims to attract top global talent while complying with any national regulatory changes. — news from Business Insider
