Fighting woke corporate politics is the focus of former McDonald’s CEO Ed Rensi.

Rensi, who has also sat on the boards of Famous Dave’s, Great Wolf Resorts, and Snap-on Inc., announced he is joining forces with conservative advocacy groups to form the Boardroom Initiative, an advocacy coalition that will oppose corporate boardrooms that mix company policy with U.S. politics.

“Corporations have no business being on the Right or the Left because they represent everybody there, and their sole job is to build equity for their investors,” Rensi told Fox Business Wednesday.

The former McDonald’s President and U.S. CEO will be the executive chairman of the coalition, including Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, the Job Creators Network and the Free Enterprise Group, and Second Vote.

"It is not the providence of board members or executives that take shareholder money profit and spend it on social matters," said Rensi. "Corporations should not get involved in social engineering."

The coalition’s latest measure will aim at a push from Bank of America shareholders who have called for the financial institution to “commission a racial equity audit analyzing the Company’s impacts on civil rights and non-discrimination, and the impacts of those issues on the Company’s business,” all while Bank of America has reportedly promoted its employees to be “woke at work.”
