Merrill Lynch is now advertising they have an 'app' for their clients.
This article explains they already have ESG scores on everyone!
Your score may be adjusted depending on a range of factors, including the company’s policies from which your score is delivered.
As such, there will be some variation between scores depending on where yours is the source in comparison with your own manual calculations.
Some things you may need to calculate your personal score are:
A list of your investments. A general calculation of how many miles you travel via car and public transport. The amount of energy you use each month (electricity, gas, etc.). Your cryptocurrency profile. Your food consumption numbers. Your organic and environmental effort profile. And other metrics.
I’m just going to assume that whatever a bad score is, I got it.
“After segmenting each section, a value will then be assigned to each. Some areas have a heavier weight than others. For example, if you invest in green programs and also avoid eating meat, it will have a heavier weight than your use of electricity in your home daily.
Every ESG rating agency has its own predefined scoring systems that assign weights and measures to each segment. As a result, the final, personal ESG score may vary slightly from agency to agency and agencies to your own calculations.
Controversies, actual reporting, truth in reporting, and exact tabulations will also play a role in your final score.
Commercial companies also have more access to public data than you may have on your own, which will further affect the actual score you are awarded.
ESG scores take a lot of information into account when it comes to commercial and industrial entities. On a personal level, just as much information is used to create a picture of who you are and how your personal actions influence the world around you.
Buying a gun, alcohol, or even clothing will all affect your overall ESG score. Not only will your purchases matter, but who you purchase from and how they do business.
Your political affiliations also factor into your personal ESG score. Aside from the politics in governance, the party you support and even the person you vote for will make your score go up or down based on that person’s actions, policies, and voting habits.
The type of car you drive, how often, and even how many people are in the car when you drive will also come into play when deciding your score.
Unlike credit scores with a clear method of tabulation, cause, and effect, ESG scores depend on a wide variety of factors that most people have yet to consider. Depending on where you live, even calculating a personal ESG score can mean giving up your rights to basic privacy.”
what does ESG mean? I’m sure i’ve failed that test, lol.
I will purposely start doing the opposite of whatever makes a good score.
1. Shoot yourself in the head
2. Now your score is zero
These people need a real hard slap down....real hard.
Like I said with all the socialist policies...I will decide:
Ban assault weapons as long as I get to decide what is an assault weapon.
To each his needs from each his means as long as I get to decide who, the means and the needs.
ESG scores? As long as I get to decide.
I burned a couple tires and dumped some waste oil in a burn pit. I’m reducing space used in landfills. That’s good, right?
Right??
LOL - my top two donations each year are Free Republic and Judicial Watch.
It is going to take a LONG time to dig my way out of that ESG hole.
Maybe I can pump up my ESG score by streaming Woke movies when I am sleeping?
Have been working for several years on minimizing my credit card purchases - finally let go of that "2% - 5% cash back" rewards bait.
Figured as long as I paid balance in full each month I was ahead of the game - but once I factored in the tracking and metrics angles, I was a loser.
If I dine on spotted owl breasts and throw a tire on the bonfire can I post the lowest ESG score on the board?
I already donate to the GOA and SAF as well as my state gun rights organization. I’m also a carnivore. My fear is I’m just not using enough fossil fuels to really drive my ESG score down as far as I’d like.
I’ll bet the Nazis had a very high ESG score.
If you hold an account at a major financial firm such as Merrill Lynch, your personal ESG score will be listed on your account ...

Another company that needs to be given the PayPal treatment with mass cancellation.
So all your purchases are cataloged? Food consumption? WTF?
Looks like cash must be eliminated.
To manipulate and control.
The higher my ESG score is, the more ashamed of me my ancestors would be. This isn’t why they came here, and why they fought hard for the country. Pathetic what has happened to America!
My ESG score is 1, represented by my middle finger on each hand, a double-barreled F.U.
How much you got?
