Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) subpoenaed a coalition of financial institutions and a corporate social responsibility advocacy group on Nov. 1 after they allegedly failed to respond to requests for documents as part of an ongoing probe into whether major climate groups may be violating federal antitrust laws.
The Ohio lawmaker, who heads the House Judiciary Committee, demanded documents and communications from “As You Sow,” which is a member of Climate Action 100+, and the “Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero” (GFANZ) as part of the committee’s wider investigation into possible violations of antitrust laws through agreements promoting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.
