Your Credit Scores Politicized: State Treasurer Warns of ESG

Are your financial investments being weaponized to undermine your political beliefs?

Investment firms, banks, and many other companies have embraced environmental, social, and governance, also known as ESG—a politicized rating system that advances the left's agenda.

In Utah, Treasurer Marlo Oaks is fighting S&P Global Ratings, which adopted ESG to make decisions about the credit ratings of state and local governments. He's also warning Americans that it'll soon affect them as well—if it hasn't already.

"Most Americans don't want to be exposed to politics in the workplace and in our choices as consumers, but that's where we're going," Oaks tells The Daily Signal. "They're using our money against us, to drive a political agenda that most of us don't want."
