Anti-ESG crusader Consumers’ Research is set to parade mobile billboards on streets in the heart of Washington Thursday as top government officials and influential voices gather at an event to discuss energy and green initiatives
...
featured speakers include Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Democrat Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, and sustainability executives at Citi and Microsoft .. in the battle to implement and enforce ESG standards to combat climate change.
...
we will be reminding them of what their far-left ESG agenda really means,” said Consumers’ Research Executive Director Will Hild. “The Biden administration and woke corporations continue to push an activist climate agenda on hard working Americans resulting in rising prices for gas, groceries and other essential goods.”
The mobile billboards will be displayed for eight hours during the duration of the summit and shuffle between slides. One describes ESG as standing for “Erasing Savings & Growth,” while another says it means “Enabling Slave labor & and Genocide,” the latter of which is a reference to Chinese slave labor, and genocide in places such as Africa where critical minerals key for electric vehicles are mined.
Another billboard will feature the CEOs of three of the world’s largest investment firms known for their pro-ESG stances — Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street — along with the assertion that ESG stands for Elitists, Socialists and Grifters.
“We aren’t going to allow them to enjoy this summit tailor-made for self-aggrandizing without a reminder of the cost Americans and citizens of the world are paying for their woke policies,” Mr. Hild said.

Doomsberg has a good take on this. But it is as bad as you think.

ESG = Enabling Slavery and Genocide:
A primary answer, to why, is the rise of environmental, social, and corporate governance, ESG, a term coined during a 2004 United Nations initiative (“ Who Cares Wins! ”) that grades companies on social performance.
ESG was born from the idea that traditional capitalism needs to be replaced with a more caring, socially conscious capitalism that serves other “stakeholders.” And what started as “guidelines and recommendations” have become explicit standards set by ESG rating agencies that impose steep costs on publicly traded companies, especially those that don’t comply.
The thing is, companies are not jazzed about having to dance to the tune of a small cabal of central bankers and asset managers.
A 2022 CNBC survey showed that while executives support ESG publicly, privately, they harbor serious concerns. Yet not playing ball is not an option.
“If a company has to do disclosures, and it has some executives who are ‘not into ESG,’ it should be thinking about the cost of not becoming more concerned,” Eileen Murray, a former executive of Bridgewater Associates, the largest hedge fund in the world, told CNBC .

We’re “targeting” them with “mobile billboards”?
Sure, that’ll do it... NOT.
.
Shouldn’t that be “Descending” in the title?
Ooooooh, targeting them with strongly worded memos, are you?
How about harassing them to the point of tears? Their goal is to destroy Western civilization. Think on that and your grandchildren.
Thank you for the quotes around ‘elites’. In reality they’re not elite, they’re the dregs intellectually and morally.
Thanks for the ping,
I want to know what if bugs are on the menu.
