APPLE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE TO KEEP DEI PROGRAMSアップル株主総会 “多様性重視”を継続

2025年03月26日 | 爺英語

Shareholders of U.S. tech giant Apple have rejected a proposal to scrap the company's diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Many American companies have been reviewing their DEI initiatives following criticism by President Donald Trump. A conservative think tank submitted a shareholder proposal to terminate the programs to an Apple online meeting on Tuesday. It said that DEI poses “litigation, reputational, and financial” risks to companies. Apple's board issued a statement recommending shareholders reject the proposal as unnecessary because the company has a well-established compliance program. It said the proposal “inappropriately attempts to restrict” Apple from managing its own operations and business strategies. The proposal was later voted down. U.S. media quoted Apple CEO Tim Cook as saying the company's strength lay in people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives coming together to innovate and “create something magical.”

住吉 4

【原文】 
いふに従ひて、幣奉る。
かく奉れれども、もはら風やまで、いや吹きに、いや立ちに、風波のあやふければ、梶取、またいはく、「幣には御心のいかねば御船も行)かぬなり。なほ、うれしと思ひ給ぶべきもの奉り給べ」といふ。また、いふに従いて、いかがわせむとて、「眼もこそ二つあれ、ただ一つある鏡を奉る」とて、海にうちはめつれば、口惜し。されば、うちつけに、海は鏡の面のごとなりぬれば、ある人のよめる歌、
ちはやぶる神の心を荒るる海に鏡を入れてかつ見つるかな
いたく、「住江」、「忘草」、「岸の姫松」などいふ神にはあらずかし。目もうつらうつら、鏡に神の心をこそは見つれ。梶取の心は、神の御心なりけり。

【現代語訳】
言うままに、御幣を奉る。しかし、全然風は止まず、ますます吹き荒れ、ますます波立って、危ないので、船頭がまた言うのは、「御幣では神様がお気に召さず、船が進まないのです」。やはり、もっと神様がお気に召すものを差し上げてください」と言う。
それでまた、船頭の言うとおりに、今はしかたがないというわけで、「眼だって二つもあるのに一つしかない鏡を奉ります」と鏡を海に投げ込んのだが、まことに残念なことだ。
そうしたら、急に、海が鏡の表面のようになり、ある人が詠んだ歌は、
ちはやぶる…
(荒れ狂う神の御心を、荒れる海に鏡を投げ入れてなだめる一方、神の御心を、しっかり見ましたよ)
とても、「住江」、「忘れ草」「岸の姫松」などという(優美なことをいう)神ではありませんよね。まのあたり、、神の本心を鏡に映して見てしまった。そして、船頭の心と言うものは、神の御心そのままなのであった。
