"Just 12 percent of U.S. corporate and health care retirement plan representatives said they had incorporated ESG criteria into their manager selection processes. When defined contribution plans were excluded, only 6 percent considered ESG. The survey included 69 plan sponsors overseeing 119 defined benefit and defined contribution plans."

[COMMENTARY]Is it laziness, being uninformed, disinterest or what, that is preventing US corporate health and retirement plans from including ESG criteria? It seems to me a similar situation as with numerous advisors who don’t understand — or even — want to understand, ESG options. Habits and remuneration arrangements are often hard to change.
