Board members are trying to do what is right for the Corporation when it comes to social considerations, but there are competing ideologies on what that looks like.
Where we are when it comes to social issues?
In California, the State is mandating diversity considerations on boards, but in Florida, the State is punishing Disney for taking a stand on LGBTQ+ rights.
The activist investor Bill Ackerman has started Anti- ESG investment funds and Larry Fink the CEO of Blackrock is still calling on CEOs to step up on ESG considerations.
It isn’t about who is right and who is wrong!
If we don’t involve ourselves in social issues, we could lose the loyalty of our customers and clients. But if we get too involved, we could get on the wrong side of some of our investors.
Neither result is ideal for the company!
