Ron DeSantis Calls for Legislation to End ESG Banking

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday called for legislation to tackle Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) banking in the Sunshine State.

Speaking behind a sign reading, “Government of Laws, Not Woke Politics,” the governor lambasted the elites injecting what he described as woke banking, or “political ideology into investment decisions, corporate governance, and really just the everyday economy.”

As an example, DeSantis said ESG “did not want us to be energy independent,” which “affects our national security.”
