Vice President Joe Biden On the stage at the BSR19 Conference hosted by Business for Social Responsibility, Beth A. Brooke-Marciniak, Board Director and Former Global Vice Chair of Public Policy for Ernst & Young relayed details about a private meeting at Davos a few years back with Vice President Joe Biden.
The back door meeting convened a group of companies working behind the scenes to use their collective political and financial power to push LGBTI policy in business practices.
According to Brooke-Marciniak, Biden sat down with these businesses, looked them in the eye and said, ''You companies can do what we-government-cannot, and will never do.
" Heeding his words, that same group of companies supported by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and operating in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, launched PGLE in 2019.
Figure 2 From PGLE's What We Do page The first of their mandates is to operationalize The United Nations Standards of Conduct for Business, produced in 2017 in collaboration with the Institute for Human Rights and Business.
PGLE's role is to provide tools and resources for companies to self-assess how they are doing in these areas through scoring systems that identify gaps in their implementation of the 5 standards, and then to provide recommendations on how to close those gaps and strengthen policies, processes, and methodologies to support LGBTIQ inclusivity.
The real impact of these customer punishments will actually be realized in the blowback companies receive from the metric gods in response to their pandering attempts to get in the good graces of their customer base again.
That's why consumers can and should continue to use their boycotting power strategically, heavily targeting only the companies who lead the pack in their industries in "Coming out of the closet," so to speak.
The 300 member companies that are clients of corporate consultancy giants like BSR will continue to be strongly advised to sign on to the UN Standards for Business, join coalitions like the PGLE, and stay the course in making commitments to "Inclusivity" that boost their CEI and/or ESG score or be costed out of business.
It's allowing unelected bureaucrats through public-private partnerships to drive the adoption of unconstitutional business practices and policies that governments wouldn't be able to enforce in law on their own.
