Series Pt. 1: ESG Aims to ‘Push Politics Into Business,’ CEO Says

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

A leftist agenda known as ESG, or environmental, social, and governance, aims to "push politics into business," according to OJ Oleka, the new CEO of the State Financial Officers Foundation.

State financial officers are under pressure from the Left to invest in businesses’ commitment to the ESG agenda at the risk of sacrificing their “fiduciary duty to get the best returns possible” on investments, says Oleka. He took the reins at the State Financial Officers Foundation Tuesday.

As part of a three-part money and transparency series, Oleka joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to pull the curtain back on what ESG is and how it might be affecting your local and state economy without your knowledge.

Utah Treasurer Marlo Oaks joins the show following the conversation with Oleka to explain how ESG policies and the Biden administration's climate agenda are hamstringing land usage in Utah.
