All sorts of initials: CLE on when BDS infects ESG

The DePaul University College of Law Center for Jewish Law & Judaic Studies and the Decalogue Society are co-sponsoring an online CLE program next Thursday, February 9, from Noon to 1:30 p.m., entitled "When BDS infects ESG: An International Case Study HQed in Chicago." A flyer for the program is shown at the top of the post.

The promotional materials contain this set-up: "In 2020 Chicago-based ratings heavyweight Morningstar Inc. bought Sustainalytics, Europe’s leading ESG rater. But they got more than they bargained for: they inherited the company’s BDS-friendly ESG assumptions, terminologies, news sources, and more." The seminar will be presented by "two Jewish communal professionals -- one in the ESG world and the other in the Chicago Jewish advocacy arena -- who worked collaboratively and successfully, and who enlarged the circle of advocates – to bring about meaningful, if not (yet) total change."
