In recent months there has been more and more mainstream exposure of something called “ESG,” which stands for “Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance.” The concept was openly established in 2005 through the United Nations Environment Program Initiative and was designed to entice various corporations and nations into adopting UN environmental policies, including their climate change regulations. Those organizations that conformed stood to gain various geopolitical benefits as well as monetary benefits.
The true effects of ESG did not become visible until the past six years, however, as the UN and their corporate partners expanded ESG further into the realm of social engineering using woke politics. Extreme leftist terminology like equity, diversity, intersectionality, shareholder capitalism, etc. were not widely espoused politically until just a few years ago, and this is largely due to the influences of ESG.
