What was corrected
What the page claimed
The article stated CalPERS Focus List companies that adopted reforms beat unresponsive companies by about 23 percentage points, presented as a settled fact.
What was corrected
Reframed the figure as an early academic estimate whose magnitude has been contested and appears to have weakened in later research.
Why this is better
The CalPERS Focus List effect-size literature is genuinely mixed, with later studies finding smaller or no lasting effect after controls. Correction adds that debate rather than presenting one estimate as settled.
