What was corrected
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.
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.
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These were data and time-sensitive regulatory facts that were outdated or mischaracterized.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.
