Concerning ESG Scoring and Reporting

Citizens’ Initiative: 2025

SUBJECT: ESG

SUMMARY:

Banning ESGs would help relieve the economic burden placed by an arbitrary scoring system. ESG is the Environmental Social Governance metric in use in China and being implemented worldwide through our banking system on businesses to make them comply with some arbitrary standard. This is fascism. ESGs would deprive Americans of their right to pursue their happiness and be free from government imposition.

Article XI, Section 8. No Arbitrary Credit Scoring. Environmental Social Governance Scoring System (ESG), Prohibited.

This section takes effect November 15, 2025, or as stated. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Colorado, amending Colo. Const. Art. XI, Section 8.

(1) ESG Defined: ESG is better known as Measuring Stakeholder Capitalism. The people of the state of Colorado hereby find that Environmental, Social, Governance (aka ESG) is an umbrella term for a broad range of environmental, social and governance metric scoring systems designed and developed to allow the government to force investors to assess (arbitrarily and comprehensively), report, and score individuals and business entities based on their behaviors and evaluate the future financial performance of companies, (and individuals) in particular with, and manage their risks and compliance with ESG. ESG would be an ex post facto law impairing the obligation of contracts and be retrospective in its operation.

(2) The people hereby find E.S.G. unconstitutional and impose a ban on allowing it to further penetrate Colorado society.

(3) Term Definition: ESG is a metric scoring system designed and developed to arbitrarily and comprehensively report and score individuals and corporations on their compliance with Environmental, Social, Governance. This scoring system helps audit and determine if a company or an individual is in line with the demands of the government. The ESG standard is divided into 4 pillars known as principles of governance, planet, people, and prosperity.

(4) The standard is used to advances the following social justice and climate causes primarily, rather than corruption:

a) This scoring system helps audit and determine if a company is in line with the demands of a foreign entity.

b) The ESG standard is divided into 4 pillars: principles of governance, planet, people, and prosperity.

c) The standard is used to advance social justice causes, primarily, rather than corruption.

(5) Definitions: For the purposes of this section:

(a) “Foreign entity” means United States government, United Nations General Assembly of world governments, World Economic Forum, World Health Organization, or any domestic or foreign jurisdiction that is not within Colorado jurisdiction.

(b) The terms corporate responsibility (CR), corporate social responsibility (CSR), equity and inclusion, stakeholders, and sustainability are also sometimes used to refer to a broad range of environmental and social responsibility behavior demonstrated by businesses.

(c) ESG factors have to do with the following areas:

i. Environmental: Climate change and the green new deal

ii. Social: Critical racism, social emotional learning, equity, and inclusion

iii. Governance: Stakeholder capitalism, collectivism, community

(6) State Mandate: Banning ESG effectively after the November 2024 election to ensure that good Colorado businesses stay in business and don’t get pushed into adopting ESG scoring standards. Any business or individual infringed upon by equity and inclusion legislation can seek redress in court.

(7) Legislative Compliance: State legislators are required to comply with the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Colorado, and not with mandates or directives from the United Nations or any other international organization.

(8) Punishment for Violation of Constitutional Compliance: Any individual, organization, or government entity found to be in violation of the Constitution of the United States or the Constitution of the State of Colorado shall be subject to penalties as prescribed by law. Such penalties may include fines, removal from office, or other appropriate legal actions.

This proposal seeks to establish a state law and a ballot initiative to prohibit the use of Environmental Social Governance (ESG) scoring and reporting in Colorado, with strict enforcement against violations of constitutional compliance.
