Of course not! Bravo @SherylRowling But House Repubs are holding hearing today on this supposed scourge morningstar.com/articles/11563…

Today’s House Oversight Cmte hearings about #ESG was an incoherent mess for Republicans, but IL Treasurer Frerichs stuck to a clear message: Fiduciaries must be allowed to consider #ESG factors to fulfill their responsibilities

Urging everyone interested in #ESG to watch the clips below. The takeaway - in their own words - Republicans’ anti-ESG argument is an incoherent mess. Limiting investors freedom to consider ESG issues is part of their anti-freedom agenda

In a MAGA-run America, the government would prevent private asset managers from conducting routine environmental and social risk analysis and would force investment in risky corporations and bad bets like Purdue and Norfolk-Southern. They’d rather you go broke than "be woke."

Anti- #ESG created by “notorious climate disinformers” and those who think companies should be run by white men answering only to shareholders. One problem: more shareholders support diversity and climate action.

To Republicans Who Oppose Investment Freedom: No reasonable claim can be made that #ESG funds have performed badly. Also: check out the top-performing #Vanguard large blend fund over the past decade in JR’s piece morningstar.com/sustainable-in…

This article highlights how ridiculous Ramaswamy’s #ESG criticism is. Corporate America recognizes #climatechange and workforce diversity, to name 2 ESG concerns, pose real business risks if ignored, as Republicans want them to do. via @NYTimes nytimes.com/2023/07/07/us/…

Teachers, firefighters & school crossing guards should have the freedom to invest based on long-term risks. Its how capital markets have worked for years. MAGA Republicans in Congress are trying to take that freedom away. On @squawkCNBC ahead of Financial Services GOP #ESG hearing 👇

You can't make this up. On a Q&A with Jim Himes 🇺🇸🇺🇦, a Republican witness rose his hand 🙋‍♂️, confirming he denies climate change exists. | #HandsOffESG #ESGisgoodforbusiness; #ESGworksforAmerica #WATCH:

Republican anti-#ESG campaign rests on two claims: 1. The #ClimateCrisis is not serious enough to concern investors and 2. Corporate America has become biased against white men

Let these words sink in: the Texas abortion ban has led to an 11.5% increase in infant deaths over the previous year. Infant deaths had been declining since 2014 - now they are increasing. Women are dying. Infants are dying. What about that is "pro-life"?

Excellent read. A little too much both-sides-ism, though. #ESG advocates have been much more earnest and factual in their defense than the ideological distortionists have in their attacks on it. ⁦Alex Edmans⁩ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
