Is Chick-fil-A going woke?
That’s the reaction on social media now that the popular restaurant has reports on its web site that Erick McReynolds is the VP of diversity, equity and inclusion.
“Chick-fil-A restaurants have long been recognized as a place where people know they will be treated well. Modeling care for others starts in the restaurant, and we are committed to ensuring mutual respect, understanding and dignity everywhere we do business,” McReynolds is quoted as saying on the site.
“These tenets are good business practice and crucial to fulfilling our Corporate Purpose.”
The establishment makes it known the corporate purpose is “to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come into contact with Chick-fil-A.”
The site stresses, “one of our core values at Chick-fil-A, Inc. is that we are better together. When we combine our unique backgrounds and experiences with a culture of belonging, we can discover new ways to strengthen the quality of care we deliver: to customers, to the communities we serve and to the world. We understand that getting Better at Together means we learn better, care better, grow better and serve better.”
The message was met with some resistance on social media.
Many are debating the idea that Chick-fil-A’s Christian values may or may not support diversity, equity and inclusion
It’s all about that ESG score. The banks won’t lend to corporations whose ESG score isn’t high enough.>>> Correct but can they tame the tiger and still produce internally at a high level while cranking out the compliance decrees. Tough row to hoe. I’d just like to get the 3 sisters in my garden to work. zucchini, corn and beans.
There are no Chick-fil-A’s around here. The first Popeye’s opened up last fall, and it’s 30 minutes away. Needless to say, I’m not driving 30 minutes just for chicken.>>> If tho you run over one chicken on the way to town can you get them to cook em for ye.
Chick fil A is a private family owned company.
They did not need to do this.
But they did.>> And the next store they want to open asks for the ESG score before they approve the permit?
My good FRiend, you are wildly wrong.
Xerox, which has a terrible ESG score, has zero trouble finding bank financing. And has zero trouble finding financing for acquisitions.

Why would IBM have a terrible ESG score?
I can’t find IBM’s score from Sustainalytics.
Americans have enough real threats with which to contend.
Blackrock buying up all the housing stock, ESG redlining, Soros and the WEF making us eat bugs, and other boogeymen seem to transition large swaths of usually well-reasoned Deplorables into frightened toddlers.
