‘May’ Way? The New DOL ESG Regulation

Practice Management

In a new episode of the Nevin & Fred podcast, Nevin (Adams) and Fred (Reish) take a look at the Labor Department’s much-anticipated final ESG rule.

The Labor Department says that it will allow “plan fiduciaries to consider climate change and other environmental, social and governance factors when they select retirement investments and exercise shareholder rights, such as proxy voting.” 

The operative word for plan fiduciaries is MAY, not must consider ESG factors — a concern that had arisen in the wake of the proposed regulation previously issued.
