BlackRock denied attacks that it was succumbing to right-wing pressure and said it was "solely to advance the financial interests of our clients."

It's amusing the left still thinks they can bully large corporations into acting against the shareholders for the nonsense notion that ESG will make the company more competitive and better.

They should be sued by shareholders for fiduciary negligence.

“”I don’t use the word ESG anymore, because it has been entirely weaponized,” Fink stated.”

In other news Fink stated he would no longer used the words “concentration camps”. He would now call them “re-education camps”.

;-)

Vanguard stated that shareholders submitted 359 ESG proposals for 2023 and 290 in 2022.

“The funds supported just 2 percent of such proposals in the 2023 proxy year, down from 12 percent in the 2022 proxy year,” the investment advisors said.


Interesting the ESG proposals come from certain stock holders. Maybe the other stock holders are using their outdoor voice.

Is The Enemy retreating a little, or have they simply slowed their advance? At least the momentum has been lessened.

The group said that it has recently backed about 7% of ESG proposals at company meetings the last 12 months leading up to June 2023. In 2022, that number was 22%, and in 2021 the company reportedly voted in favor of nearly half of all ESG proposals.

and

Vanguard made similar moves and chose to back only 2% of ESG proposals at meetings across the United States, despite a large increase in the number of ESG-related proposals that were pitched.

Has anyone done the math on how much was spent? This might just be a huge increase in the number of people with their hands out with a similar number to the past approved. They might have even increased spending in absolute terms.

They have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders and investors (which in Vanguard are the same). Spending money on ESG is counter to that.

Yeah, I assume that the building of their ‘15 minute cities’ is going to reduce what they can spend on stupid propaganda to corporations they have already perverted anyway.

These elitist a-holes pushed the envelope and found out where the line was, and they are scaling back. Because as much as they are leftists, they love money more.

Scaling back is still supporting. Heads should literally roll for anyone supporting this shxt.
