ESG Investing Rule Holds (For Now) February 6, 2025. By Anne Wallace.
Fort Worth, TX On January 10, 2025, the Northern District of Texas rendered a decision in Spence v. American Airlines, Inc.

The court found that fiduciaries of the American Airlines 401(k) Plan and the American Airlines 401(k) Plan for Pilots had breached their ERISA duty of prudence and loyalty by failing to monitor BlackRock’s pursuit of non-financial and nonpecuniary ESG policy goals through proxy voting and shareholder activism.
