In July, Capital Group published its 2022 Annual ESG study. It is full of interesting findings, and is the first major ESG survey that was conducted after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. How that event has changed (or not) attitudes towards ESG investing is a great read. I highly recommend the survey. What surprised me though, was the finding that 40% of institutional and wholesale investors still use exclusions as part of their approach to ESG investing. To be sure, this is down from 55% in 2021 but it is still more than the 36% of investors who use an active ownership approach and engage with corporate management.
