I'm not sure the origin of ESG, perhaps the WEF. Need to checkout …
LATER: turns out it started in the UN, back in the sixties. Now, the UN.... My dad was Australian representative to the UN, back in 1962. I remember it well. What I’m not so sure about the UN is this: what have they done that has made the world better? Certainly not UNWRA. Nor the peacekeeping forces which enabled the Rwanda Genocide. So, can we think of anything the UN has done which is positive for the world? Maybe UNESCO? Maybe some of the children’s’ stuff, UNICEF? But also, maybe not. As they are credibly charged with widespread sexual abuse, especially in Africa. And I’ve seen them drive around Africa in their black windowed Toyotas, being hateful to the locals. Earning half a million a year. With full benefits. So... the UN? Anything good done? Not so sure. And so sure that ESG is not one of those on the good side of the ledger.
