The bank lobbyists who testify in opposition to the ESG consumer protection bills should be asked if any banks they represent have joined the UN Net-Zero Banking Alliance. The Alliance website says banks representing more than 40 percent of global banking assets are committed to aligning their lending and investment portfolios with net-zero emissions by 2050. In their own words: “The Alliance will reinforce, accelerate, and support the implementation of decarbonization strategies.”

American banks that have signed on to the UN Net-Zero Banking Alliance to date include Bank of AmericaBlue Ridge BankCitiJPMorgan ChaseMorgan StanleyGoldman Sachs, and Wells Fargo.

Banks get into woke liberal politics and ban conservative companies, so why shouldn’t they suffer from their own decisions to go woke?

Banks have to put up a front as though they oppose ESG so that the ESG police won't regulate those banks away.

The idea is to show the government overlords that you're on their side in hope that they won't punish you as much.

Larry Fink (BlackRock) is the one using ESG to blackmail business into using this MARXIST metric.
