Oklahoma State Treasurer Applauds Major Win for Fiduciary Responsibility and Economic Integrity |
The U.S. District Court decision involving American Airlines and BlackRock delivers a resounding validation of Oklahoma’s efforts to protect financial integrity and prioritize fiduciary responsibility. This ruling highlights how ESG policies, when prioritized over financial returns, constitute a breach of fiduciary duty—a concern Oklahoma has raised for years through the Energy Discrimination Elimination Act and the Restricted Financial Company List.
“The legislature saw the writing on the wall—this breach of duty—and took action,” said State Treasurer Todd Russ. “I picked up the mantle and made it clear: Oklahoma’s tax dollars and pension funds will not support companies undermining their fiduciary responsibilities. This court decision confirms what we’ve said all along—it’s dangerous, it’s a breach, and it’s exactly what we’ve been fighting against.”
The judge in the U.S. District Court case, Spence v. American Airlines, specifically noted that considering Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in fiduciary decisions was central to the breach of duty under ERISA.
