Corporate Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives: Can Failure Lead to Litigation?

In light of recent racial-justice protests, many companies have shared their diversity and inclusion initiatives and policies to help address the underrepresentation of women and minorities in corporate leadership positions. In doing so, however, many companies have also found themselves subject to litigation for failing to enact meaningful change. Following a similar pattern, Qualcomm was recently named in a shareholder derivative lawsuit for failing to follow through on its diversity initiatives. The action against Qualcomm mirrors lawsuits filed against other companies such as Oracle and Facebook, where shareholders are demanding accountability in a company’s diversity and inclusion policies among its senior leadership and board members.
