Excluding tech/healthcare companies, I have the suspect that high ESG rated cyclical stocks are those investing less in fixed assets. Low I/A ceteris paribus means higher cost of equity in equilibrium, and the Investment CAPM strikes again. The "flows-theory" related to continuous shift of preference towards green stocks is certainly part of the story, but not the only explanation to the long-term over-performance of the "ESG factor".
