DAYTON, OH — 1792 Exchange CEO Daniel Cameron released the following statement on Tractor Supply’s decision to shift its corporate policies and practices back to neutral.
“I applaud Tractor Supply for returning to the business of business. This consumers-centered approach is the path forward for our corporate community. 1792 Exchange stands ready to help companies join this corporate cultural revolution and refocus on sound business principles, like producing high-quality products and offering the best services.”
BACKGROUND
After weeks of backlash and criticism, Tractor Supply announced plans to rein in its nonbusiness activities and realign corporate initiatives to better reflect its customers, communities, and employees.
Earlier this month, Cameron warned America’s largest, most profitable companies about the risks of continuing radical political activism. Cameron’s letter encouraged Fortune 1000 business leaders to backpedal from divisive and controversial social commitments.
