You should embrace capitalism and accept that there’s no such thing as an ethical company. ESG is just a score that says how much the company is aligned with the goals of people powerful enough to care about ESG scores. The most ethical thing you can do is stop buying things that you don’t need.
Stop trying to make secular indulgences a thing. You can’t buy pay your way into being an ethical person. Why not spend your time instead of your money?
- alphabettsy 3y agoI disagree with the sentiment conveyed. It feels extremely cynical. Some companies are more ethical than others. You’re right about not buying things you don’t need, but when you do need something, do you buy it from someone who stole it from someone’s grandma or somewhere else? ESG scores like anything similar are intended to take some of cognitive load off. People don’t want to or have time to thoroughly evaluate every company they might do business with. I think it’s better than nothing.
