So because they have one webpage giving lip service to diversity and the environment, they automatically don’t value their core competency?

I’ve seen a few conservative tweets trying to tie DEI and ESG into SVB’s collapse in a weird attempt to tie it to a cultural war. It just doesn’t make any sense. DEI and ESG are side shows for just about any company and probably pay for themselves as marketing and employee retention for a Silicon Valley focused bank.

The values “We keep learning and improving”, “We take responsibility”, and “We speak and act with integrity” would all play into managing money responsibly.
