The ESG Weekly: Disenfranchised Shareholders and ESG at Banks

Britain's split from the European Union has just taken full effect and there is already trouble in the airline industry. In this episode, we discuss how airlines are dealing with foreign ownership rules in a post‐Brexit era and how one airline (Ryanair) decided it had to disenfranchise its shareholders in order to comply with the rules. Then we discussed the ruling by the Office of The Comptroller of the Currency that prohibits banks from denying lending to oil, gun companies.
