Sustainable investing cannot just mean polished branding, climate language, and a clean fund label.
FT Adviser reports that European ESG funds continued financing Kremlin-linked companies and Russian sovereign debt even as Russia prepared for war in Ukraine.
That should force a deeper question: can any investment really be called ethical if it ignores authoritarian power, Corruption, surveillance, and state violence?
ESG without human rights is just reputation management.
What should "sustainable" investing actually exclude?
