You couldn't be more wrong. ESG is going nowhere and most shareholders expect/demand companies to be good stewards of the environment. The increase in ESG services during mergers and acquisitions has been exponential over the past 5 or so years. I work directly in international M&A. ESG is often a M&A evaluation task of the private equity and large publicly held companies I work with. It's only increasing and is one of the largest growing sectors in my firm, book of business wise.
You can say otherwise but I work in this arena. I see and work in it daily.
