Did you see the other member organizations of the ETF? I think their definition of being "Socially Responsible" is highly suspicious. Here are the top 10 ticker symbols in that index according to the S&P indicies website: https://www.spindices.com/indices/equity/sp-500-esg-index-us...

Microsoft Corp, Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc, Johnson & Johnson, JP Morgan Chase & Co, Alphabet Inc C, Alphabet Inc A, Exxon Mobil Corp, Visa Inc A, Procter & Gamble

How Exxon Mobile and Amazon are "Socially Responsible" companies is beyond comprehension.

It's in comparison to weapons manufacturers, coal and oil companies, etc. A "less awful" index, if you will. If they were actually only including socially responsible companies the index would be useless, as it would be empty.

Why would it be empty? I can name several socially responsible companies like Blackbaud (software for non profits) and Docusign (sponsors save the rainforest initiatives)

Exxon Mobil?
