What the hell is this? Gov. Ron DeSantis and legislative leaders are targeting so-called “woke banking” with newly proposed legislation that would aim to “stop companies from playing politics with Floridians’ money.” Environmental Social Governance (ESG) has become a popular GOP talking point in states like Texas and Florida. ESG investments were banned on the state level last year. On Monday, the governor announced new enhanced legislative proposals against them.DeSantis, legislative leaders roll out plan to prohibit ‘woke banking’ in Florida Supporters say ESG is a way for institutions to avoid investing in companies that back policies that could negatively impact the environment and the people who live in those communities.
