Ropes & Gray Offers Platform for Tracking State-Level Regulation of ESG Investment

As recently discussed at the Mutual Fund Directors Forum ESG event on April 12 in Washington, DC, state-level action in the ESG investments regulatory space has increased over the past two years. In order to keep abreast of the latest developments, Ropes & Gray established a platform dedicated to tracking state regulation of ESG investments. The tracker breaks down legislative action state-by-state and includes thought leadership from the Ropes & Gray team. The tracker identifies several states that have already enacted legislation in an “anti-ESG” push, as well as highlighting activity in “blue states” such as Vermont, that have passed “pro-ESG” legislation. Additionally, the information hub highlights the formation of a coalition of states, led by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, focused on pushing back against ESG investments in state pension plans, among other goals.
