How ESG Metrics Work And Why All Investors Should Care

"The Conscious Investor" is presented by Nuveen.
Martin Kremenstein, head of retirement and ETF solutions at Nuveen, explains how ESG metrics serve as an indicator of quality and can be used as a risk management tool.
According to research from MSCI, companies in the bottom ESG quintile have been twice as likely to suffer a catastrophic loss (over 95% cumulative loss) within three years.
MSCI downgraded Equifax to the lowest ESG rating on cybersecurity concerns a year before the data breach was announced.
Kremenstein says that Facebook was excluded from Nuveen's NuShares ESG Large-Cap Growth ETF from the time it launched in December 2016. He explains, "it scored relatively poorly, compared to other tech companies over data privacy concerns."

[@cantaloupe7296]

I'm not 100% sure but i think they were grouped together because they're the types of companies that are often extracted during "negative screening" which picks out the type of businesses ppl want to avoid investing in because they're controversial or because of issues like human rights violation. for ex. nuclear power is most commonly sourced by uranium which is extracted through uranium mining (also needed for nuclear weapons) which has broad range of issues like radioactive waste with stays dangerous for thousands of ears, miners exposed to carcinogenic dusts and materials. gambling companies are screened out because it apparently increases gambling addiction and instead of helping the local economy it burdens it as problematic gambling increases with locals, and (according to different sources) suicide rate among different addictions is highest for people with gambling addiction. Regardless of all the environmental impacts, Tobacco companies are seen negatively because tobacco causes many types of cancers. Extended us of alcohol also causes all kinds of health problems. Essentially he grouped them together in the context of the ESG investment framework which ppl like to consider during investment when ESG factors are important to them and theses companies tend to fail many of these competencies.
