Rural retailer Tractor Supply eliminates DEI roles, Pride support and carbon emissions goals

Tractor Supply, a retail chain that sells home improvement equipment, livestock and agricultural supplies for farmers and pet owners, is eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion roles; withdrawing carbon emission goals; and walking back support for the LGBTQ community as part of sweeping changes to environmental, social and governance initiatives, the company announced this week.

The retailer said in a Thursday release that it will no longer submit data to the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy group. The company will also stop sponsoring Pride festivals and voting campaigns, the release said. The company previously earned a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2022 Best Places to Work Corporate Equality Index.

The announcement comes in the final days of Pride Month.

Tractor Supply is also retiring initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impact and improving employee diversity. The company had set goals to achieve net zero carbon emissions in operations by 2040 and to reduce its water usage by 2025. Its DEI targets included boosting the number of employees of color at the manager level and above by 50% by 2026.

Tractor Supply said it’s making the changes to better represent the values of the communities and customers it serves. The retailer caters to largely rural communities, with 50,000 employees across 2,250 stores in 49 states, according to company data.

“Rural communities are the backbone of our nation and what make America great,” Tractor Supply said in the news release. “We have heard from customers that we have disappointed them. We have taken this feedback to heart.”

I wonder what would happen if the local drag strip honored pride month by painting a pride flag in the burn out pit?

I certainly hope this new business decision of not catering to these delusional & extremist groups continues with other corporations.

They will publicly renounce and privately continue on because the leadership is woke and they don't surrender.

And so it turns out rice beer like bud light tastes like no other wheat-based beer, and those woke-tards lost their core base, over a tranny gender faker, forever.

Momentum of societal swing effect by the propaganda media blitz EVERYONE was hood-winked into. That's until the bottom line of that business model proved it was certain death of the company and all a lie.

Propaganda works.

The statement is a first step. Get rid of the people who initially put it in place. Those are the real problems.

It’s what came out of the manuscripts we have, from what I understand. Some 5,800 (in Greek) documents supporting the New Testament.

There are claims of 14,000 documents (roughly)

BB&B are out of business.

Their last asset, their website, was bought by Overstock.
