SEC says Eli Lilly can't avoid requests for more info on diversity efforts, abortion stance

Eli Lilly must address proposals requesting reports on its diversity, equity and inclusion progress, and its abortion policies, the SEC determined last week.

The news comes after Eli Lilly announced several months ago that the company would “be forced to plan for more employment growth outside of our home state” due to Indiana’s abortion ban, “one of the most restrictive anti-abortion laws in the United States.”
