Just released: new surveys related to ESG investing.

[COMMENTARY] It’s clear that the mainstream investment industry is adopting ESG criteria as important to investment analysis and attracting millennials to investing. However, I remain skeptical about much of the surveys’ findings due to the definition of ESG and what people say and do being two quite different things. Also, some surveys seem to contradict each other in their results.
