Who are the shadowy players? Or, maybe not so shadowy: How about appeasing BlackRock and, by extension, WEF:
Plan A—where business has been motivated primarily by profit—is no longer an option. We knew this when we came together in 2013. United in the belief that the private sector can, and must, redefine both its responsibilities and its own terms of success, we imagined a ‘Plan B’ – for concerted, positive action to ensure business becomes a driving force for social, environmental, and economic benefit. We are focused on driving action to achieve this vision by starting ‘at home’ in our own companies, taking collective action to scale systemic solutions and using our voice where we can make a difference.
Jochen Zeitz, CEO of Harley-Davidson, on how to drive a HOG into the ground.
Now I should mention that Blackrock owned an 8% share in Harley Davidson, the fund that has forced businesses to comply with “woke social scores” to secure funding. After installing Zeitz, the company suddenly partnered with United Way and the Human Rights Campaign. The CEI (Corporate Equality Index) was created by the HRC (Human Rights Campaign), a massive international political lobbying group that pushes the woke agenda aggressively and is funded by Soros. The CEI judges a company’s woke rating, while the ESG encompasses everything.....
.....who is Blackrock trying to appease? The World Economic Forum, where current CEO Jochen Zeitz was once employed. He took it upon himself to fund “The B Team” which aims to force businesses to adopt social policies.
