Miyares: ESG Considerations Cannot Influence VRS Investment Decisions

On Friday, Attorney General Miyares issued an AG Opinion prohibiting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria from influencing Virginia Retirement System (VRS) investment decisions.  "Virginia families have spent decades working hard to build their retirement accounts. Investments must be driven by careful, calculated financial foresight, not clouded by unfounded ESG fads. This Opinion firmly reinforces the Virginia Retirement System's responsibility and legal obligation to make objective investment decisions free from the sway of social or political agendas. Secure futures require sound economics."  –Attorney General Miyares

Allowing biological males to compete against biological females undermines decades of progress and is simply unfair to women and girls. I'm committed to ensuring that female athletes have the opportunity to compete on a level playing field." –Attorney General Miyares
