Instead of having investors specifically ask to prioritise sustainability why not specifically ask if investors want short term profits at any cost. Will get you a different result. BlackRock quits climate change group in latest green climbdown

Twenty seven % of Americans for example have less than $1000 in savings¹. More than half of US households could not manage an unexpected expense of $1000².
