City A.M.: No City earnings call, annual report, or even chief executive interview is now complete without a mention of what a firm is doing to meet its ‘ESG goals.’ At times this has bordered on the ludicrous: Terry Smith, the legendary investor, found a warm audience to his critique of Unilever attempting to define the purpose of Hellmann’s mayonnaise.
