Environmental Social & Governance (ESG)
Written in November 2023
The United States Environmental Social Governance (ESG) framework (that includes Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - DEI) aims to integrate environmental, social, and governance factors into business. As a consequence of not implementing ESG/DEI, there is an associated score that will result in the company obtaining a capital loan from specific lending institutions. However, even now, there is a lack of detailed transparency regarding the ESG plan, which raises concerns about its effectiveness and legalities of the mandate. It is essential to emphasize the need for clear and comprehensive disclosure of ESG criteria and performance metrics to ensure that investors and the public can make informed decisions. Without transparency, the ESG framework will effectively serve its intended purpose for Democratic overreach and continued coercion.
ESG is no different from affirmative action, which the Supreme Court has outlawed as implemented through academic institutions.
Most concerning are the performance scores given to businesses and directly tied to the businesses ability to obtain capital loans from lending institutions. The Executive Branch is mandating systemic segregation of diverse people. In order for us to heal this cultural divide, more respect, and dignity need to prevail.

The Biden administration, in collaboration with United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), The World Health Organization (WHO), and other U.N. affiliates, have implemented ESG which pushes the use of gender pro-nouns, gender neutrality and the teaching of these topics to children as young as 5 years old. By not implementing the ESG in U.S. companies, large and small businesses can be affected through tax relief and access to specific loans from investors.
As it has been advertised and pushed, I oppose ESG mandates for businesses and most definitely oppose the strongarm tactics the Biden Administration and the U.N. uses to prevent businesses who opt out of ESG from gaining access to loans.
The U.N., since about 2004, has funded and pushed Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agendas behind the guise of good intentions. It is clear, that in meetings the United States people were not invited to, the Biden Administration adopted ESG and DEI to be on track to meet goals outlined in the U.N. 2030 Plan.
Make no mistake, what we see in places like Denmark, Norway, Ireland, and California will come to Utah if Biden is re-elected.
Governor Newsome (California) has recently signed a bill stating those school districts who refuse to teach children (regardless of the unknown harm) will lose funding. This trickle-down socialism will remove parental rights and will indoctrinate an entire generation.
