It's a fair question: do ESG stocks outperform? But that misses the point for many. I will invest in ESG regardless because I want to support firms that are good corporate citizens. if the return is the same or slightly lower than the relevant index, I don't care! that's the point. My value system ranks "doing good" over "doing well." Read my book, "Money, Meaning, and Mindsets" for more on this topic.
