Ballot Collection Laws

After this anon reviewed them, it's clear these laws are mainly designed to regulate only the absentee ballots that are returned to the County Election Office. There is little to no regulation of mail in ballots that are put in the mail. In almost all 50 states individuals can collect as many ballots as they want to put in drop boxes or the US Mail. 3rd Party Ballot Collection is WIDE OPEN across the US. If MAGA does ballot harvesting correctly with a strategy, it's hard to see how the Dems can even cheat and win.

SVB Releases 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report

 

SANTA CLARA, Calif. August 18, 2022 – SVB, the financial partner of the innovation economy and parent of Silicon Valley Bank, today released its 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report. The report details the company’s commitments and strategies to help create a more just, equitable and sustainable world and reports on its programs and progress made throughout 2021.

 

"As the financial partner of the innovation economy, we support visionary companies and investors boldly addressing the biggest challenges of our time," said Greg Becker, president and CEO of SVB. "Our long history of serving this sector has enabled us to seize opportunities to build a better world, and this report highlights our efforts, progress and commitment to transparency and accountability."

 

SVB’s ESG program centers on the positive impact its innovative clients make and is built around six strategic initiatives designed to support long-term sustainability for the company:

 

Engaging and empowering employees,

Building a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion at SVB,

Championing inclusion in the innovation economy,

Supporting its communities,

Advancing the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon world, and

Practicing responsible corporate governance.

Among the many ESG initiatives included in the report, highlights from 2021 are included below:

 

$11.2 Billion Community Benefits Plan: SVB announced its $11.2 billion Community Benefits Plan that builds on the company’s long-standing commitment to support small businesses, finance affordable housing, reinvest in low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities in Massachusetts and California, and support charitable causes via philanthropy and volunteering. The plan will be executed over a five-year period from January 2022 through December 2026, and includes several commitments:

$5.0 billion in small business loans of $1 million or less

$4.8 billion in Community Reinvestment Act community development loans and investments

$75 million in charitable contributions in CRA coverage areas

$1.3 billion in residential mortgages to LMI borrowers and in LMI census tracts

$5 Billion Sustainable Finance Commitment: SVB announced its commitment to provide at least $5 billion by 2027 in loans, investments and other financing to support clients’ sustainability businesses; and the company has set a goal to achieve carbon-neutral operations by 2025. SVB’s Sustainable Finance Commitment aims to support companies that are working to decarbonize the energy and infrastructure industries and hasten the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon, net-zero emissions economy.

Building an Inclusive Workplace: SVB continued to build a workplace where all employees are connected, celebrated and supported. Among its major advancements, the company implemented a diverse candidate slate mandate for U.S. senior leadership roles to ensure hiring managers are interviewing and selecting from a diverse range of candidates; SVB launched an Inclusion Index survey to understand employees’ experience to further strengthen its culture of inclusion; and the company introduced its first six Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) representing Asian, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, LGBTQ+, veteran and military, and women employees.

SVB introduced measurable diversity goals for its senior leadership positions to strengthen hiring and talent development initiatives meant to create paths to professional advancement, especially for women, Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx individuals. In 2022, SVB completed an employee assessment conducted by a third-party to advance its DEI mission, framework and strategy. SVB also publicly disclosed its 2020 EEO-1 and 2021 EEO-1 workforce demographics to promote transparency.

 

Expanding Access to Innovation: Access to Innovation is SVB’s signature program designed to advance inclusion and opportunity in the innovation economy, particularly for women, Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx individuals. In 2021, SVB continued to expand the program, harnessing its resources, experience and connections to address key barriers that prevent underrepresented groups from succeeding in the innovation sector. SVB aims to reach 10,000 individuals annually with access to information, education and career opportunities.

CRA Outstanding Rating: SVB earned an “Outstanding” rating from the Federal Reserve Bank for its 2018-2020 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) strategic plan.

SVB and BLM - go woke go broke

 

BLM movement adds pressure on start-ups to diversify

Nov 8, 2020

Just as the killing of George Floyd and other Black Americans at the hands of police officers has pushed large, established companies to take diversity and inclusion more seriously, start-ups are also feeling the pressure for change. Although the flexible nature of start-ups allows them to prioritise racial and ethnic diversity from day one — setting the tone for the life of the business — the day-to-day struggle to survive can distract from hiring a diverse workforce. “Every start-up wants to be large one day, and you have to start with the right values, the right teams, because it is very hard to change as you get bigger,” says Elizabeth Gore, co-founder and president of Hello Alice, a business accelerator. “Every data point shows that diverse leadership and teams make the most profitable companies, so why not start small?” However, the push to prioritise diversity and inclusion at the top of start-ups has its limitations. While Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) recently found that 43 per cent of the 1,100 start-up founders and executives that it surveyed operate programmes to increase diversity, that number drops to 26 per cent for those that are attempting to add minorities to leadership roles.

 

Furthermore, the pandemic appears to have hampered the drive to improve gender diversity, as the Covid-19 crisis piled pressure on balance sheets. Venture capital funding for companies founded or co-founded by women in the US dropped 48 per cent in the third quarter of 2020 compared with the second quarter, to its lowest quarterly total in three years, according to data from PitchBook. Funding overall decreased 16 per cent over those same two quarters, the figures show. “People are kind of going back to what’s safe and tapping into their existing networks,” says Alejandro Guerrero, a start-up founder and principal at Act One Ventures, a venture capital firm based in Los Angeles. “We can’t assume that life is always going to be peachy. When [problems] do arise . . . we can’t revert to old ways of doing business, because the world is demanding something more.”

 

Ms Gore says the “innate pressure for speed” in start-ups poses one of the biggest challengers to diversity efforts. Most start-ups and small businesses, she says, are pushed by investors early on to move fast or by the threat of dwindling funding. Hiring diverse talent takes time, she says, which means investors have to see the value in patience. Another challenge is in the nature of start-ups, according to Juney Ham, co-founder and chief executive of Beacon Talent, a recruitment agency. Start-up co-founders often come together through shared experiences and circumstances, he says, which may not be a diversity-driven process. Still, there is reason for cautious optimism, even if progress is slow. One tangible effort to improve diversity in the start-up community was announced this year. As of mid-October, more than 20 venture capital firms with upwards of $1.5bn assets under management agreed to include diversity riders in term sheets submitted to start-ups, Mr Guerrero says. “A lot of folks are realising that there’s a lot of work to be done [with respect to diversity]. And there are probably a lot of firms that are facing the reality that they have way more work to do than they had originally thought,” he says. “So the rider was really about creating a moment of opportunity for people that are coming from diverse backgrounds to get more access.” Ashraf Hebela, head of start-up banking at Silicon Valley Bank, says systemic change depends on collective efforts from more than entrepreneurs. The diversity rider — which SVB Capital, the venture capital arm of SVB’s holding company, agreed to include — is an example. Mr Hebela cited a New York investor that recently indicated that they were unlikely to invest in a start-up if it lacked diversity in the leadership team.
