Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey is retiring after serving 18 years in Congress. Still, before he leaves, he’s providing a blueprint for how a potential GOP majority can defang the effort to push controversial “ESG” mandates on corporate America.
Toomey, a Republican, has requested information from a dozen firms, including proxy advisors and ratings agencies on how they come up with scores that rank how various corporations adhere to so-called Environmental, Social and Governance edicts, FOX Business has learned. He plans to hand over the information to his GOP colleagues, who are promising to mount investigations into the ESG movement armed with subpoena power if Congress runs red after next week’s midterms, people close to the matter say.
