The Independent Business Association of Wisconsin (IBAW) hosts “E.S.G. The Lurking Menace” on Friday, November 17, 2023, 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. Event will be held at the Wisconsin Club, 900 W Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis. A plated breakfast is served.
Environmental. Social and Governance (ESG) is a framework used to assess an organization’s business practices and performance on various sustainability and ethical issues. It will impact every business regardless of how large and small that business is. It will also impact consumers and how you buy or sell goods or services.
Steve Kohlmann, executive director of IBAW, said, “Our speaker is national speaker, Cameron Sholty of the Heartland Institute. Mr. Sholty will give you a sobering overview of how these new societal scores will begin to creep into how – and who – you will be able to do business with.”

“For example, a small family-owned manufacturing business may need to have a high social justice score to do work for a government agency. The financial implications of adhering to ESG standards can be a substantial burden for small business since they lack the means to invest in the necessary tools, technologies or personnel to meet these standards,” continued Kohlmann.
Since 1973, the Independent Business Association of Wisconsin (IBAW) was formed for small business owners to engage in conversation relating to legislation impacting the bottom-line costs of businesses throughout Wisconsin. IBAW is a venue for high-level CEOs, CFOs, COOs, other upper management and entrepreneurs to network, exchange business ideas, and become educated and involved on issues which impact their business. IBAW is time well spent!
