No ESG at TSP Act

Bill 118 s 2147, also known as the No ESG at TSP Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The bill aims to prohibit the investment of funds from the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) in companies that engage in activities related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues.

If passed, the bill would require the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board to ensure that TSP funds are not invested in companies that prioritize ESG factors in their decision-making processes. Supporters of the bill argue that investing in companies that prioritize ESG factors could potentially harm the financial returns of TSP participants.

Opponents of the bill, however, argue that ESG factors are important considerations for long-term financial sustainability and that excluding companies based on these factors could limit investment opportunities and potentially harm the overall performance of the TSP. Overall, the No ESG at TSP Act is a controversial piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the role of ESG factors in investment decisions. It remains to be seen whether the bill will ultimately be passed into law.
