A U.S. House of Representatives panel has subpoenaed the head of an activist group that pressures companies over environmental, social and corporate governance issues to appear for a March 28 deposition, according to a letter seen by Reuters on Thursday. The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee is conducting a probe into whether ESG efforts violate antitrust laws. It has subpoenaed BlackRock Inc and State Street Corp for documents and communications as part of the same investigation. The committee said it was issuing the subpoena to compel the deposition of Andrew Behar, the chief executive officer of As You Sow, as part of its probe into antitrust laws. A spokesman for the group said it had provided documents and testimony since receiving the panel's initial request and that Behar had already agreed to a voluntary interview to be held on March 28.[1] |
