WASHINGTON – Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel and Senior Vice President of Corporate Engagement Jeremy Tedesco will participate on an online panel on Tuesday at 9 a.m. EDT discussing the launch of the Good for Business Coalition Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation.
Good for Business is a coalition of business and thought leaders who desire to see corporations empowered to pursue excellence in business, shareholder value, and the common good free from activist demands. These principles advocate a strong and healthy corporate environment across the country, where innovation, talent, and the free market can thrive.
“Activists use ESG and DEI to push corporations to regulate society consistent with their radical climate and social justice agenda,” Tedesco said. “This undermines democracy by replacing elected legislatures with unaccountable corporate boards. It also hurts shareholders and alienates customers. That’s a dangerous path, and it’s time to correct course. Our statement advocates for a virtuous business culture, and that starts with businesses staying focused on their core purpose—which is producing excellent goods and services that improve people’s lives. Every business should also embrace policies and practices that respect the fundamental values that have built our nation, including speech and religious freedom.”

Alliance Defending Freedom is an alliance-building, non-profit legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, parental rights, and the sanctity of life.
