A lot of people think companies like Bud Light, Disney, etc. must have some sort of death wish.

They don't understand that all this essentially free ESG money they are being given comes with a bullet list set of requirements and mandates, but otherwise no strings attached.

The ESG banks are literally subsidizing corporations with free money that merely has to adhere to a social/political agenda.

That is all. That is why these corporations lined up for it and took it hand over fist.

But the joke is on the corporations themselves; they are literally destroying their own brands overnight.

When all the free ESG money runs out, will they be able to recover and rebuild their brands?

Doubtful.
