That's the foil company, not the tobacco company.

This is probably the link you meant to post:

"Reynolds American parent BAT named third-highest rated ESG performer in global ranking"

Can you give some context why do you thing that a company that sell aluminium foil and storage bags is fundamentally bad ?

Nestle is also at the top of most ESG indices.

Wow. Yeah. It’s not just moral or societal, I guess. It’s also is influenced by $$$$

Why is this being downvoted if the fact is true? There are so many other high ESG scores like SVB and FTX and even countries like Sri Lanka (went bankrupt as well) that it has become an indicator like Jim Cramer. Every rating system will be gamed if there are incentives for it and be turned into a farce. Just like bombing countries to the stone ages for “human rights”, “liberation” and “democracy”. All code words for genocide and massacres.

The British Empire, a “democracy”, used to invade countries for slave trading. Then when slavery was made illegal it then invaded countries under the guise of stopping slavery!
