"Conservative activists are coordinating a multimillion-dollar national campaign to make ESG the next CRT. Their goal: Transform the acronym for #ESG investing into a rallying cry against woke capitalism,” wsj.com/articles/conse… via The Wall Street Journal

Great webinar from C2ES this morning introducing their new Reaching for 2030: Climate and Energy Policy Priorities report. c2es.org/document/reach… Especially enjoyed corporate panel discussion with Ford Motor Company, Exelon Corporation, and Holcim!

Disappointing, but not terribly surprising 🙄 Tom Gosling "said there was a risk that rewards to executives for the “unstoppable” need to address climate change “just results in more pay — not more climate action”." via Financial Times ft.com/content/86e33c…

Bankers and investors are bankrolling the climate crisis - what can we do about it? Join @CrwdsrcingSusty, As You Sow, Atmos Financial, and Bank Fwd to see how we can better support climate solutions rather than climate collapse. ow.ly/zWBG50N582B

Okay, it's officially time for John Oliver and Last Week Tonight to do a segment on #ESG investing. cnbc.com/2023/03/01/esg…

Explain the grid like I’m 5 years old. I’ll paint the best one (one with the most likes/retweets) 🎨

We filed resolutions asking Amazon & Comcast to address climate risk in their 401(k) plans. Rather than talk with shareholders and employees, they asked U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to rule shareholders don’t have the right to inquire about climate risk. Yes we do! ow.ly/PPqz50N5irP

Interesting trend banning misleading advertising on climate impacts. We need to start paying attention to the ad and marketing companies complicit in these practices. #greenwashing euronews.com/green/2023/03/…

Who's next? 👀

Texas and Florida have a better credit rating than California, so why are these red states suddenly paying billions more to borrow money? Because of costly anti-ESG laws forcing them to boycott banks that historically have bid on their bond issuances! ow.ly/AQHW50N5kE5

Excited to have attended the launch for the Erb Institute Principles for Corporate Political Responsibility. In this era of extreme partisanship, every company needs a framework for conducting political activity. Check it out! forbes.com/sites/christop…

Good reminder that not every strategy provides the desired result

I usually love The New York Times "The Daily," but today's on #ESG is leaving out a lot of important information. The backlash against ESG from the left isn't even mentioned. Hopefully we'll see a part 2 soon! nytimes.com/2023/03/13/pod…

Is #sustainability becoming all about accounting? Jeff Dangremond: "It’s not that it wasn’t important before, it’s just that nothing clarifies one’s focus more than a potential risk to their access to capital." greenbiz.com/article/sustai… via Green Biz

The new #IPCCReport has a lot of great content, but for those who need a summary look no further than World Resources Institute's great new article - wri.org/insights/2023-… #ClimateAction

It's been an exciting three months growing my practice as an independent consultant on Responsible Corporate Advocacy! Lucky I have a husband who knows how to throw a website together 😉 "Unless Strategies" is official! unless-strategies.com

Love this piece by Kathy Mulvey on the actions of the #FossilFuel industry in preventing #ClimateAction. She lays out an egregious behavior for each letter of the alphabet - my favorites are "K is for Kafkaesque" and "U is for US Chamber of Commerce" blog.ucsusa.org/kathy-mulvey/a…

Shaping public narrative is a form of political influence. This trade association offering an MBA program - that is, a "Masters of Beef Advocacy", is following classic climate misinformation campaigns from the fossil fuel industry via Corporate Knights corporateknights.com/category-food/…
