Sustainability charlatans are so-called "sustainability professionals" and other self-anointed "SDG experts" who actively and knowingly greenwash their activities or those of their clients through opaque methods and questionable reporting practices. Although not standardized, environmental social and governance (ESG) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting help to exclude them from the process. Aviva Investors, a global asset manager with around £350bn assets under management, is announcing plans to eliminate "sustainability fraudsters". It will accomplish this by establishing stewardship priorities – climate change, biodiversity, human rights, executive pay – and divesting out of companies that fail to meet its set science-based targets (SBTs).
