The promise outlines Costco's dedication to treat all employees fairly, regardless of 'race, color, national origin, ancestor, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religion, age, pregnancy, disability, work -related injury, covered soldiers or veteran status, political ideology or expression, genetic information, civil status or other protected status'.
In January the board voted to retain his dedication to Dei and Eerw. Al Sharpton organized a 'purchasing' in a store in New York City as an expression of his support for the move.
As part of his dei obligations, the retailer instructs all employees to follow a ten-module course about 'inclusive conversations'.
However, Costco has encountered a return for his progressive policy, in which 19 lawyer generals ordered the chain to drop them to meet the executive Order of President Donald Trump that Dei scraps in federal roles.
Trump called it order, “the most important federal civil rights measure in decades” and claims that it will promote equality.
Former Costco director Roger Campbell rejected the criticism and said that Dei has always been promoted in the chain.

“The term” dei “didn't even exist for us, it was the way we led our company … It is who we are,” Campbell said.

However, the number of managers was overwhelming male with 72.3 percent compared to only 27.7 percent female last year.
