2024 Anti-ESG State Legislative Outlook
Since 2022, Pleiades Strategy has tracked state legislation and executive policies that weaponize state finances and financial markets against responsible investing.
The insights in this report have come out of this research, and we hope they are helpful to your understanding of the anti-ESG policy landscape. They build upon our deep analysis published in Summer 2023 highlighting the model bills, the network of organizations sponsoring these bills, the opposition these policies received, and the high costs the policies would exact–and in some cases already are exacting–on retirees, municipalities, and state residents.
In 2024, Pleiades will continue to track these bills and, for the first time, is publishing its bill tracker on its website in full as a tool for investors, policymakers, journalists and academics seeking to understand the evolving contours of the anti-ESG legislative campaign in the US states.
