are pressuring companies to undertake climate change policies they wouldn't enact on their own, part of an "open conspiracy to bypass Congress."
But Democrats on the committee pushed back on Republican criticism of environmental, social and governance investing, saying it can actually be a better investment in the long term, by factoring in risks associated with industries that contribute to climate change. "For example, if you're investing in a car company, it's thinking about whether that company is aligned with market expectations and preparing for the shift to electric vehicles," he. "Or if you're investing in a pharmaceutical company, it's thinking about whether that company has exposure to massive lawsuits because of its role in the opioid epidemic."
Committee Democrats also decried Republican efforts to curtail environmental investing as government overreach in business decisions, and Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., likened it to "corporate socialism."
