EP 409: Fighting ESG & Natural Asset Companies ft. Treasurer Marlo Oaks

In Episode 409 of District of Conservation, Gabriella interviews Utah Treasurer Marlo Oaks. Treasurer Oaks was first appointed to the position in July 2021 and then elected in November 2022. He and 21 other state financial officers forced the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to reopen its proposed rule to list Natural Asset Companies - envisioned as a new Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investment - on the New York Stock Exchange. Treasurer Oaks discusses why he jumped into the fight against ESG, why ESG isn't market-oriented, how natural asset companies pose a threat to financial markets, property rights, and lands access, and much more.
