ESG funds are such a scam. They charge high management fees and because of the pressure to deliver market returns (without which almost no one would buy them) they end up owning substantially the same stuff-- when they exclude a company because its this weeks' press whipping boy they replace it with more shares selected to optimize their correlation with the replaced company. Now as always the only lesson to companies is "don't get caught" or "make sure you put a positive spin on it".

I wish they did meaningfully push companies to implement profit incompatible policies-- then at least they'd be interesting to short.
