ESG has been criticized by a multitude of conservatives, who see it as a distraction from business efforts. <\/p>\n<p>Recent legislation, which was backed by Republicans to repeal a Labor Department rule that allowed retirement plans to consider ESG factors when making investment decisions, cleared both chambers. It is expected that the president will veto this measure. Sens. Sens. Joe Manchin (D\u2013WV) and Jon Tester, (D\u2013MT) supported the move. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I said we would spearhead an initiative to join with other like-minded states to send an even louder message to the financial industry that the American people have rejected ESG at the ballot box,&#8221; DeSantis added. &#8220;We will not stand idly by as the stability of our country&#8217;s economy is threatened by woke executives who put their political agenda ahead of their clients&#8217; finances.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>DeSantis presented a February proposal to protect Floridians against ESG.
