Cashion’s role will be to set the vision, strategy, and governance for CalPERS’ sustainability work and be responsible for leading all aspects of the fund’s efforts to develop and implement an economics-based ESG research and data framework to support environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration into the investment decision-making process.
“CalPERS has been a pioneer in its advocacy of climate solutions and sustainable investing, and our focus on that work has only intensified over the years,” said CalPERS Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Nicole Musicco. “That makes this a critical position to us. Peter’s long record of impact investing across global markets elevated him in our search and makes him a great fit with the fund’s mission. His experience as a hands-on investor in multiple asset classes, standing up complex sustainable investing strategies and leading diverse global teams, makes him the right person to take the reins of CalPERS’ sustainability efforts.”
ESG – Environmental, Social, and Governance Concept Web Banner
Take a closer look at what else is included under the ESG label.
Environmental
Let’s start by focusing on the “E” in ESG, as environmental matters get a lot of attention.
Some examples of environmental reporting factors are climate policies, water use, waste, carbon emissions footprint, and natural resource conservation. All these practices could impact a company’s bottom line, and therefore, CalPERS’ investment earnings.
For instance, governments around the globe have committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Consider if a company’s primary operations produce a significant amount of greenhouse gases. It’s likely they’ll face a drop in revenue or even challenges in meeting their energy demands without switching at least some of their focus to renewable energy.
Social
Let’s define the “S” in ESG: social.
Social is a broad category, but it really comes down to people. Examples of social reporting include information about wage equality, workplace safety and health, human rights, customer satisfaction, and even data protection and privacy.
It’s simple. Negative experiences for employees reduce productivity and increase the chances for workplace litigation, which can impact a company’s bottom line. Data breaches can disrupt operations and hurt customer loyalty, which also can hurt profit potential.
Seems the whole world has gone mad. Hope I don’t loss my retirement.

For centuries, the global elite have broadcast their intentions to depopulate the world – even to the point of carving them into stone. And yet… we never seem to believe them.

Dr. Anthony Fauci will sit for a deposition on Wednesday as part of a Republican lawsuit against the Biden administration that says the government colluded with social media companies to censor free speech related to COVID.
Last month, a federal judge ordered that Fauci’s high-profile public comments made him a key figure in the lawsuit from the Republican attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana, who allege “collusion” between the Biden administration and social media companies to censor speech that could be damaging to the White House, such as the origin of the virus and the effectiveness of masks.
The AGs said the deposition is scheduled for Wednesday, November 23, and will be conducted by Attorneys General Eric Schmitt and Jeff Landry, along with lawyers from their office. The deposition will be sealed by court order.
“Since we filed our landmark lawsuit, we have uncovered documents and discovery that show clear coordination between the Biden administration and social media companies on censoring speech, but we’re not done yet,” said Schmitt. “We plan to get answers on behalf of the American people. Stay tuned.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre snapped at reporters who raised questions about the origins of COVID-19 during Tuesday’s press briefing, which featured outgoing White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci.
During questions after the White House coronavirus response team updated reporters on the administration’s vaccine efforts, Daily Caller White House correspondent Diana Glebova attempted to ask a question regarding what Fauci has done to investigate the origins of COVID-19. But Jean-Pierre shut Glebova down and rebuked her for speaking out of turn.
“We have a process here. I’m not calling out on people who yell. And you’re being you’re being you’re being disrespectful to your colleagues, and you’re being disrespectful to our guest,” Jean-Pierre said. “I will not call on you if you yell, and also you’re taking time off the clock because Dr. Fauci has to leave in a couple of minutes.”
“You need to call people across the room! She has a valid question, she’s asked about the origin of COVID,” Ateba said.
“It is not your turn!” Jean-Pierre shot back. “I hear your question, but we’re not doing this the way you want it. This is disrespectful …. Simon, I’m done. Simon, I’m done. I’m done with you right now. You’re taking time away from your colleagues.”
Meanwhile, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), according to the White House will ask “governors for their assistance and partnership in increasing COVID vaccination rates for long-term care residents and highlight for them how their states are performing against their peers.”
Corporate and government COVID-19 vaccine mandates have largely fallen out of favor in recent months amid falling COVID-19 numbers. Tyson Foods, the largest meat company by sales in the United States, confirmed last week that it dropped its mandate, while a New York judge tossed New York City’s mandate for city employees in October.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said last year that the requirement covers 10.4 million health care workers at 76,000 facilities.

As a result, the report says, policymakers should “encourage or mandate policies and protocols regarding masking and social distancing in public spaces that protect people from infection or reinfection and possible long COVID.”
While President Biden declared in a September “60 Minutes” interview that the “pandemic is over,” his administration asked Congress for an addition $10 billion last week to fight COVID, including $750 million specifically for long COVID.
“Listening to and learning from the experiences of long COVID patients is essential to accelerating understanding and breakthroughs,” said assistant secretary for health, Rachel Levine.
She said the new report was “evidence of our commitment to engaging communities to provide patient-led solutions.”
Dr Anthony Fauci officially stood down from his government roles today after four decades spearheading America’s response to infectious disease threats.
He became one of the most-cited scientists on the planet for his work on HIV and other infections – before becoming the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in 1984.
But Dr Fauci was not a name known to most Americans until 2020 when he became the face of the US’ Covid pandemic response. The 81-year-old was initially a revered figure — seen as a safe pair of hands in the face of a new, unknown pathogen and dubbed ‘America’s doctor’.
But his credibility has come under intense scrutiny in the two years since Covid struck after he exaggerated the effectiveness of vaccines to boost uptake, lied about face masks and pushed for lockdowns.
In March 2020, when concern was rising globally over Covid, Fauci told Americans that there was ‘no need’ to wear a face mask. He insisted at the time that they may only help people ‘feel a little better’, and ‘might even block a droplet’ — but would not provide good protection.
The letter’s lead authors, Community Alliance for Global Justice/AGRA Watch and the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa, wrote:
“In both articles, you make a number of claims that are inaccurate and need to be challenged. Both pieces admit that the world currently produces enough food to adequately feed all the earth’s inhabitants, yet you continue to fundamentally misdiagnose the problem as relating to low productivity; we do not need to increase production as much as to assure more equitable access to food.”
The authors also criticized Gates’ claims that we’ve “underinvested in agricultural innovation” and that the Green Revolution was “one of the greatest things that ever happened.”
They also criticized Gates’ push for genetically modified seeds, stating that “climate-resilient seeds are already in existence and being developed by farmers and traded through informal seed markets.”

Germany is experiencing a strange decline in births in the first quarter of 2022, totally inconsistent with their experience in recent years.
Strange, right?
Fortunately, the vaccine-crazy German government already has the answer: it says people had so many children already, that they no longer want any.
Strangely enough, the German government did not yet blame global warming. Babies born in Q1 2022, were conceived in Q2 or 2021. Here’s a chart for BELGIUM (not Germany) from Our World in Data. (Sorry, Germany is not in that data set). The arrow show vaccination of 18-24 and 25-49 year olds.
North Dakota — Same Stuff, Different Place Our reader Biswrest pointed out a most unlikely counterpart to Germany — North Dakota. Look what happened there. Per Provisional Data Reports for 2021-2022:
UK: 10% Decline, Taiwan: 23% Decline, and Switzerland.
I’ve’ been thinking didn’t the Democrat’s in the 2018 midterms promising not to focus so much on impeachment and investigations and instead trying to work with the President when they could and bring people together and that people where tired of the fighting and wanted peace.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi held a press conference on Capitol Hill Wednesday, hours after Democrats recaptured the House in the midterm elections Tuesday night.
Pelosi discussed the gains in the House and in Democratic governorship’s, and called the day after the election was,
“great day for America” and a chance to “restore the health of our democracy.” She pledged to find “bipartisanship” and “common ground where we can.”
House Democrats concluded a conference call about their strategy moving forward in the wake of Robert Mueller’s explosive report.
According to NBC News Capitol Hill Reporter Leigh Ann Caldwell, Democratic leadership were open to more investigations but aren’t ready for the impeachment question.
Following Democrats winning a majority in the House of Representatives, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) discusses her call with President Trump after the election and whether Democrats will move to impeach him.(about the 6:33 minute mark she talks about impeachment)
A victorious Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday said Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives will use their newly won majority to pursue a bipartisan agenda for the country and work for “solutions that bring us together.”
“People say, ‘You changed your mind.’ I didn’t change my mind,” says Nancy Pelosi. This is true. Democrats have been impeaching President Trump since day one.
To impeach does not just mean our constitutional process to remove a president for high crimes and misdemeanors, or, in this case, Democrats kowtowing to a radical base to jam through proceedings before their case falls apart. To impeach also means “to cast doubt on.”
And that is exactly what Democrats and their allies in the media have done since Nov. 9, 2016. Accepting the fact they all got it so wrong would require painful self-reflection. It is much easier to divert,
Now they are pushing the same exact lie. Democrats’ 2020 Campaign Message: Not Impeachment, They Insist After the 2016 election, Democratic leaders reached an all but unanimous conclusion: To defeat President Trump in 2020, they would have to do more than condemn his offensive behavior and far-right ideology, as Hillary Clinton had done. They would need, above all, to promote a clear and exciting agenda of their own.
They took that lesson to heart in the midterm elections and afterward, capturing the House of Representatives with a focus on health care and then attempting to impress the electorate by passing legislation on matters like campaign finance reform and the minimum wage. As Democratic presidential contenders pushed campaigns built on big ideas, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi resisted a chorus of calls for impeachment, even from some of her party’s leading 2020 candidates.
Yet, that’s all they’v done for the last three and a half years. Impeach, Impeach, Impeach,”Come On Man.”
Look what President Trump has done in spite of them, Trump Accomplishments a six page report.
Wednesday night Kamala Harris lied though her teeth. She doesn’t even know here history.
Sean Hannity examines Joe Biden’s radical and dangerous agenda for America.
Last but certainty not least: After watching the last, what 3 months of America burning, chaos and destruction in the street’s all in Democrat run cities and states by the way.
Is that what you really want America? Could you imagine if the whole country where run like these cities and states? How unbelievably hard it would be to fix the country after that.
Every election cycle I do my due diligent s and actually go through and read all the propositions on the ballot. This year with the lock-downs I hope more Californians have the time to do the same.
My one little conservative vote doesn’t make much of a difference in this liberal state but I try and do my part, it makes me feel better and like I’m doing something, maybe if more did, we might have a chance of changing things here.
There’s 12 propositions on the ballot, just a couple I wanted to share with you. Please take the time, check them all out and vote.
For those of you who don’t live in this bastion of liberalism, let me share some of the insanity with you.
Prop-16 commercial make’s me sick every time I see it and made me want to write this post, take a look. Yes on Prop 16 – We Rise Together
Can there be anything more racist, divisive then this one? Of course the left plays on emotions because they have nothing to offer. While looking for this video I came across some encouraging video’s against it. Here’s just a couple. Mr. Ward Connerly on Tucker Carlson to Discuss Prop. 16 | No on Prop 16
Here’s another good one. Justin Kotz Started off making a video about recent events and affirmative action news with Tucker Carlson and Dinesh D’Souza which kind of morphed into welfare state mini historical documentary with Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and others.CA Prop 16 2020
This one speaks for it self, Prop-18: Voting at Age 17, yea right.
The Election Integrity Project California, a nonpartisan organization, argued against the amendment, saying that “17-year-olds are legal minors. Under that definition, they are still considered children. They are almost all still living at home and under the strong influence of their parents. This is not conducive to independent thought and voting without undue pressure from their immediate superiors… 17-year-olds will almost always still be in high school, and under the strong influence of their teachers. This again makes it less likely that they would be expressing their own, independently thought-out choices were they to be allowed to vote.”
Famous for high taxes blaming the rich for their problems and a lousy public school system like all the other times they raise taxes to help the failing public school system this one will do nothing to fix it except drive more business out of California.
Prop 15: Commercial Property Tax.
I never vote for funding this failed public school system. Nothing ever changes, they’r just indoctrination camps anymore and politicians just get more powerful. The teachers union has gone out of their way to prove their just a political organization this year. Look who’s funding it,
Proponents of the initiative named it the Schools and Local Communities Funding Act. Top contributors to the well-financed campaign included the California Teachers Association, the Service Employees International Union of California and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, run by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan. Joe Biden and many other prominent Democrats have endorsed Prop. 15.
So, what are all those propositions on your ballot? What do they actually mean? “Ballot Brief” brings you all the information you need to get through the 2020 election season. Here you’ll find explainers that break down what the propositions are and what they mean for voters.BALLOT BRIEF
