“Congress should investigate ESG practices as a cover for anticompetitive activity and possible unfair trade practices.”
Citation: Project 2025, Section 5.4: Federal Trade Commission, Adam Candeub, page 905, paragraph 5
Context:
Candeub gives no possible examples of how companies could use ESG practices to limit competition or violate fair trade laws. He suggests above that such a practice could include “de-banking”, but I found no real-world examples of this happening in the United States.
