American retailer Tractor Supply Co. has eliminated its diversity, equity and inclusion roles and goals following weeks of conservative criticism online.
The home improvement and agriculture chain released a statement Thursday addressing the criticism and announcing the change.
“We have heard from customers that we have disappointed them,” read the statement posted on X. “We have taken this feedback to heart.”
The company also announced other changes it would make, including no longer submitting data to the LGBTQ advocacy group Human Rights Campaign, focusing “on rural America priorities” including education and veterans causes, and no longer sponsoring “nonbusiness activities like pride festivals and voting campaigns.”
This move comes after weeks of criticism spearheaded by Robby Starbuck, a producer and director turned conservative political commentator.
