The vote at the iPhone maker's annual meeting was seen as a test of shareholder views about the value of DEI programs, which many companies added or beefed up starting in 2020 amid the Black Lives Matter movement.
A growing conservative backlash has pushed major US companies, including Meta and Alphabet, to drop DEI initiatives ahead of and following Donald Trump's return to the US presidency.
Trump has criticised corporate DEI programs as discriminatory and suggested the US Department of Justice could investigate whether such efforts violate the law.
The National Center for Public Policy Research, which describes itself as a free-market think-tank, had submitted the proposal titled «Request to Cease DEI Efforts» to the shareholder meeting.
