"Here's Why the CEO of Target isn't Afraid of Cultural Backlash
The company is looking at the bigger, broader picture."
"Target Corp. (TGT) - Get Free Report is the most recent company to be dragged into the supposed "woke war," currently rampaging across social media. Against the backdrop of a trans-friendly Bud Light promotion and Disney's ongoing battle with right-
wing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the recent rally against Target's selection of LGBTQ+ merchandise could have the company worried.
But the CEO of Target, Brian Cornell, isn't concerned. In a recent appearance on Fortune's "Leadership\Next" podcast, Cornell essentially said that the company's attitude toward diversity and inclusion is just good business.
"When we think about purpose at Target, it's really about helping all the families, and that 'all' word is really important," Cornell said. "Most of America shops at Target, so we want to do the right thing to support families across the country."
"I think those are just good business decisions, and it's the right thing for society, and it's the great thing for our brand," Cornell said."
