Recent developments in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues have prompted Congress to investigate whether ESG-related coalitions may violate antitrust laws. This inquiry reflects a growing concern among lawmakers regarding the implications of ESG practices on competition. Concurrently, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has intensified its scrutiny of recyclability statements, signaling a continued focus on claims related to ESG. In the context of state governance, the recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions have shifted more regulatory power to states, making statehouse control increasingly significant. Additionally, state attorneys general are taking action against perceived abuses in ESG practices, particularly concerning fossil fuel investments and corporate board diversity initiatives, which some view as politically motivated. The House ESG oversight is also concentrating on proxy voting, with businesses paying close attention to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The focus on environmental justice is increasingly shifting to state-level initiatives.
