It’ll be a hectic week for financial services policy as well. Republicans led by House Financial Services Committee Chair Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) are scheduled to host four hearings in three days all about three letters — ESG, the corporate shorthand for environmental, social and governance standards. Complaining about ESG in the financial sector is one of House Republicans favorite activities these days. The full panel meets on Wednesday to examine “environmental and social policy in financial regulation.” A subsequent trio of subcommittee hearings will then take aim at ESG policy in housing, insurance and the proxy shareholder voting process.[1] |
