When looking at the science-based net impact – the sum of a company’s positive and negative impacts on the world – the winners are crystal clear: Tesla: +42% Philip Morris: -631% It’s time we start using *actual* impact metrics to measure companies’ impact on the world. 3/4

@Tesla ESG ratings are not even meant to tell about a company’s impact on the world. That’s not what they are designed for. The problem with ESG scores is that they are still being perceived as a measure of a company’s “sustainability” by both investors and the general public. 2/4
