That is some brutal data. I am totally against ESG for a whole lot of moral and rational reasons, but I also think its possible in many cases to engage in ESG practices without actively alienating your customers and destroying your business. If a company is smart and strategic (and isn't careless and fall for the magical thinking embedded in ESG) I believe it can be done. If one is forced into complying with it.

ESG is rooted in evil, but you're right that it needn't be quite this obnoxious and alienating.
The irony about the ESG rating companies is just how "diverse" are they? I didn't have a say in how their ratings work. Many the need to be more open.
