09 November 2023 Ways & Means Committee holds ESG hearing The November 7 House Ways & Means Committee hearing, "Ensuring that 'Woke' Doesn't Leave Americans Broke: Protecting Seniors and Savers from ESG Activism," evidenced a clear partisan split over whether environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors should be allowed to be considered by retirement plan fiduciaries.
