Jack Daniel’s Abandons DEI

Brown-Forman Corp., Jack Daniel’s whiskey maker, has scrapped its corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs amid growing pressure from conservatives.

In a letter to employees, the Kentucky-based company announced it will no longer tie executive compensation to DEI progress and will end its participation in the annual ranking of LGBTQ-friendly workplaces.

Brown-Forman cited changes in the legal and external environment as reasons for adjusting its DEI efforts.

Previously, 10 percent of short-term executive compensation was linked to DEI goals. The company also scrapped plans to increase minority-owned suppliers.

This move follows similar actions by other corporations that have also faced criticism from anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck.
