Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has called for politicians to suppress "woke capital" by "crippling" the socially conscious investing movement known as ESG. He has criticized corporations for using their power to express views on issues that do not directly affect their businesses, and has called for states to form an anti-ESG voting bloc. He has also previously weighed in on ESG, passing a resolution last August that barred Florida's state pension fund managers from considering ESG in their investment practices.
