Internal emails reportedly revealed that DraftKings removed the terms 'diverse' and 'inclusive' from a public statement. The company expressed disappointment that a confidential internal email exchange was mistakenly copied to a reporter and subsequently reported.
This development could lead to negative publicity and raise questions about DraftKings' commitment to diversity and inclusion initiatives. Such perceptions can impact corporate reputation, employee morale, and relationships with various stakeholders, including investors focused on ESG factors.
While the company did not elaborate on the reasons for the alleged removal, the incident highlights the sensitivity surrounding corporate messaging on social issues. Maintaining a consistent and transparent stance on values is crucial for public companies in today's environment.
