Hey Fellow Conservative, it’s Ryan Walker from Heritage Action.
I’m proud to bring you this critical victory: S&P Global has officially dropped ESG from its debt ratings – a massive blow to the Left’s woke agenda.
This win is a testament to the relentless efforts of grassroots conservatives and dedicated state leaders who've been unwavering in their fight against ESG. Increasingly, talking about ESG is becoming toxic for corporations.
There are two important takeaways from this:
1️⃣ Your Actions Drive Change: Last year, state attorneys general probed S&P's use of ESG in credit ratings, suspecting a breach of consumer protection laws. The removal of the ESG score is a direct outcome of grassroots action powered by Heritage Action.
2️⃣ The Battle Evolves – This is not a total victory: As the ESG opposition gains momentum, corporations are adapting tactics. Many are shedding the "ESG" title but still pushing their Woke agenda behind the scenes. This includes S&P Global, which is ditching their ESG score, but still including ESG text descriptions. That means this fight is far from over.
As companies work to “rebrand” their ESG efforts, it will become more important than ever to expose those efforts so that legislators can effectively take action against ESG at both the state and federal levels.
Thank you,
Ryan Walker
Acting Executive Director
Heritage Action for America
Here at Heritage Action, we saw the damage caused by the wokeness infecting American business and culture, so last year, we launched our ESG Hurts campaign to fight ESG wherever it rears its ugly head
And we’ve had a handful of critical victories in that fight.
- Helped pass anti-ESG legislation in numerous states.
- Supported a bipartisan congressional resolution to overturn Biden’s Pro-ESG rules.
- Forced Biden to defend his ESG agenda with his FIRST-EVER VETO.
- And many more to come.
