Caterpillar, a major manufacturer, is adjusting its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, responding to concerns about 'woke' corporate practices.
The company is now requiring all training to focus on business operations and is implementing approval requirements for external speakers and surveys.
Caterpillar's move comes as several other companies, including Ford and Molson Coors, have also scaled back their DEI initiatives.
These changes reflect a growing debate about the role of DEI programs in the corporate world and the balance between inclusivity and business priorities.
