The exact change

Before

The article said ESG AUM reached $35 trillion by 2022, that Khan/Serafeim/Yoon found material-ESG improvers outperformed by 3-6%, that SFDR Article 6 means no sustainability integration, that SEC 2022 climate rules were expected to be finalized, and that about 50,000 companies would be subject to CSRD.

After

Corrected the GSIA figure and methodology note, the Khan et al. study design, the SFDR description, the SEC rules' 2024 adoption/stay/rescission status, and the CSRD scope after the 2025-2026 simplification.

Suggested change

See before/after.

Why this is better

These were data and time-sensitive regulatory facts that were outdated or mischaracterized. Corrections use the primary sources (GSIA reviews, the 2016 Accounting Review paper, SFDR text, SEC actions, and the EU Omnibus directive) rather than new unverified sources.

How this record is verified

  • The contribution is tied to a real, identified contributor, not an anonymous byline.
  • It counts only because the publisher, When Notes Fly, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
  • It is recorded against a specific page and cannot be bought or edited after the fact.
