Stop the Antitrust Madness

Antitrust laws are being politicized by some government voices and being unjustly used to push a false narrative about investor action on climate change. Antitrust laws protect competition and consumers. They do not prohibit investors from independently deciding to address climate-related risks and opportunities or from engaging companies in their portfolios to express their views. There is nothing more natural than companies listening to their investors and acting on material issues impacting their operations and supply chains.  

According to antitrust law experts, these accusations of antitrust violations are baseless. Despite repeated mischaracterizations, the facts—and the law—make clear that there have been no antitrust violations. It is inappropriate for the government to use false pretenses to intimidate investors and businesses, and silence constitutionally protected free speech. Whether it’s reducing methane emissions, setting ethical standards, or driving innovation in greener technologies, private sector collaboration benefits the market and the public while maintaining vigorous competition.
