McDonald's on Monday said it is rolling back some of its diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Why it matters: Backlash against corporate DEI efforts appears to be intensifying ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration.

The fast-food giant said it will no longer set “aspirational representation goals” and will no longer require suppliers to sign DEI

McDonald’s is the latest US corporation – and among the largest – to back off some of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices, as a Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action and conservative backlash to those programs continues to lead businesses to reevaluate their diversity pledges.

The chain's McValue menu is finally launching this week, and we now have all the specifics about the deals you'll find on it.

McValue, McDonald’s new value platform, launches Tuesday, Jan. 7, at participating restaurants nationwide, the fast-food giant announced back in November. Fan favorites, including the $5 meal deal, are part of the nationwide rollout aimed at “giving customers even more ways to enjoy the food they love, for less,” according to a news release.
